The auto-silencer supports two modes: "thresholded" to fill up "just enough", and "top-up" to fill up "as much as possible". The two modes used rather distinct code paths, which this patch unifies. The only remaining distinction is how much we actually want to fill. This fixes a bug in thresholded mode, where we failed to use new_hw_ptr, resulting in under-fill. Top-up mode is now more well-behaved and much easier to understand in corner cases. This also updates comments in the proximity of silencing-related data structures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
