Document the notes file in sysfs as the running vmlinux's .note section in binary format. Hopefully this helps someone like me realize the kernel exposes the note section in sysfs in the future. Take the date from when the file was introduced. It's been a while so presumably this is stable and not testing material. Signed-off-by:

The syntax to cross-reference between documentation pages wasn't documented anywhere. Document the cross-referencing using the new automarkup for Documentation/... and also Sphinx's doc directive for using relative paths. Signed-off-by:

Cross-referencing to other documentation pages is possible using the :doc:`doc-file` directive from Sphinx. Add automatic markup for references to other documentation pages in the format Documentation/subfolder/doc-file.rst (the extension being optional). This requires that the path be passed all the way from the Documentation folder, which can be longer than passing a relative path through the :doc: directive, but avoids the markup, making the text cleaner when read in plain text.

The automarkup script previously matched expressions and substituted them with markup to enable automatic cross-reference all in the same function. Split the expression matching iteration and the markup substitution into different functions to make it easier to add new regular expressions and functions to treat each of them. Signed-off-by:

There's a warning at iio.h kernel-doc markup: ./include/linux/iio/iio.h:644: WARNING: Unknown target name: "devm". Because it is using {devm_}foo notation. Well, this is not a valid kernel-doc notation. Also, it prevents creating hyperlinks to other documentation functions. So, replace it to a better notation.

There are two broken references at submitting-patches.rst: Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:240: WARNING: undefined label: security-bugs (if the link has no caption the label must precede a section header) Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:336: WARNING: undefined label: documentation/process/email-clients.rst (if the link has no caption the label must precede a section header) Those are due to some recent renames and file moves. It turns that maintaining :ref: is currently harder than using :doc:, as we now have a script to help checking such references. So, replace :ref: to :doc: there, making them to point to the current file name. Signed-off-by:

Currently, sphinx emits one warning on this file: Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/stream.rst:522: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

The default way of building documentation is to use Sphinx toolchain installed via pip, inside the Kernel tree main directory. That's what's recommended by: scripts/sphinx-pre-install As it usually provides a better version of this package than the one installed, specially on LTS distros. So, add the directories created by running the commands suggested by the script. Signed-off-by:

This prevents the chapter headings from showing up in the table of contents in filesystems/index.html. Note that I didn't pick "UBIFS Authentication" as the document title, because there is a chapter of the same name, and Sphinx complains about multiple headings with the same name: /.../Documentation/filesystems/ubifs-authentication.rst:207: WARNING: duplicate label filesystems/ubifs-authentication:ubifs authentication, other instance in /.../Documentation/filesystems/ubifs-authentication.rst Remove the :orphan: tag, as the document has been included into the toctree.

Git is fairly ubiquitous these days, and the additional information in this documentation for preparing patches without it is not especially relevant anymore and may serve to confuse new contributors.

In order to cross-reference C types in the documentation, Sphinx requires the syntax :c:type:`type_name`, or even :c:type:`struct type_name <type_name>` in order to have the link text different from the target text. Extend automarkup to enable automatic cross-reference of C types by matching any "struct|union|enum|typedef type_name" expression. This makes the documentation's plain text cleaner and adds cross-reference to types without any additional effort by the author. Signed-off-by:

Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances did not always advance the aims of the submitters. But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses) a bit confused. They have read things like Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says: individual source files can have a different license which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0 and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst: We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing, and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under multiple licenses. As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply GPLv2-compatible. Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations. Signed-off-by:
