      docs: Clarify the usage and sign-off requirements for Co-developed-by · 24a2bb90
      Sean Christopherson authored 
      The documentation for Co-developed-by is a bit light on details, e.g. it
doesn't explicitly state that:

  - Multiple Co-developed-by tags are perfectly acceptable
  - Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by must be paired together
  - SOB ordering should still follow standard sign-off procedure

Lack of explicit direction has resulted in developers taking a variety
of approaches, often lacking any intent whatsoever, e.g. scattering SOBs
willy-nilly, collecting them all at the end or the beginning, etc...
Tweak the wording to make it clear that multiple co-authors are allowed,
and document the expectation that standard sign-off procedures are to
be followed.

The use of "original author" has also led to confusion as many patches
don't have just one "original" author, e.g. when multiple developers
are involved from the genesis of the patch.  Remove all usage of
"original" and instead call out that Co-developed-by is simply a way to
provide attribution in addition to the From tag, i.e. neither tag is
intended to imply anything with regard to who did what.

Provide examples to (hopefully) eliminate any ambiguity.

      docs: remove spaces from shell variable assignment · 4318f9bb
      Tom Levy authored 
      The instructions for generating patches are given as shell commands
with variables as placeholders. They use the syntax "SRCTREE= linux",
which is wrong for the Bourne shell family (it runs the command
"linux" with the variable "SRCTREE" set to the empty string).

Remove the spaces to avoid confusion. This breaks the pretty alignment
but helps new contributors who try to run the commands as written.

      Documentation: fix core_pattern max length · cc809ed8
      Jakub Wilk authored 
      The buffer size for core_pattern is 128, but one character is used for
terminating null byte, so the actual limit is 127:

    # printf '%0999d' > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
    # tr -d '\n' < /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern | wc -c
    127
