sphinx emits warning WARNING: undefined label: memory-allocation ... This seems to be caused by the use of a hyphen in the label name instead of an underscore.

There has been some confusion since checkpatch started warning about bool use in structures, and people have been avoiding using it. Many people feel there is still a legitimate place for bool in structures, so provide some guidance on bool usage derived from the entire thread that spawned the checkpatch warning.

Jonathan Corbet authored
The ability to add kerneldoc comments for fields in embedded structures is useful, but it brought along a whole bunch of warnings for fields that could not be described before. In many cases, there's little value in adding docs for these nested fields, and in cases like: struct a { struct b { int c; } d, e; }; "c" would have to be described twice (as d.c and e.c) to make the warnings go away. We can no doubt do something smarter, but simply suppressing the warnings for this case removes about 70 warnings from the docs build, freeing us to focus on the ones that matter more. So make kerneldoc be silent about missing descriptions for any field containing a ".". Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

The SuperH boot code files use a magic format for the SPDX identifier comment: LIST "SPDX-License-Identifier: ....

A recent commit added SPDX identifiers to the SuperH low level library code which originates from GCC. This code is licensed under the GPL 2.0 or later with the GCC runtime library exception. Unfortunately the authors did not bother to add the exception text to the LICENSES directory so spdxcheck fails with: arch/sh/lib/ashiftrt.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/ashlsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/ashrsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/lshrsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/movmem.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udiv_qrnnd.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udivsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udivsi3_i4i-Os.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udivsi3_i4i.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 Add the exception text along with the required tags which allow automated checking.

Add a section about decoding /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, create a more understandable intro and a hopefully explain better the tainted flags in bugs, oops or panics messages. Only thing missing then is a table that quickly describes the various bits and taint flags before going into more detail, so add that as well. That table is partly based on a section from Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt, but a bit more compact. To avoid confusion I added the shortened version to kernel.txt; the same table is used in three different places now: ./tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint, Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst and Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt During review of v1 (see above) a number of existing issues with the text were raised, like outdated usages as well as incomplete or missing descriptions. Address most of those as well. Signed-off-by: Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@leemhuis.info> [jc: tightened up changelog] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

In emacs 23.1 support for directory-local variables was added (see also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2009-07/msg00000.html). Simplify the settings in coding-style.rst by using that feature. Additionally, do not inherit any settings from emacs' linux coding style to minimize dependencies on the version of emacs that is being used. I have verified with several large and nontrivial kernel source files that the new settings format code according to what checkpatch expects.
