docs: add some directories to the main documentation index

2019-07-15T14:03:03Z

The contents of those directories were orphaned at the documentation body. While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide, I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the :orphan: and adding the SPDX header. For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific docs that were not split yet. For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch could do the move.

docs: ide: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:21:18Z

The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

docs: cdrom: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:20:46Z

The stuff there is almost already at ReST format. A conversion for them is trivial: just add a missing titles and fix some scape codes for them to match ReST syntax. While here, rename the cdrom-standard.txt, with was converted from LaTeX to ReST on the previous patch, and add it to the index file. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: cdrom-standard.tex: convert from LaTeX to ReST

2019-06-14T20:20:43Z

This is the only LaTeX documentation file inside the documentation. Instead of having a Latex document directly there, convert it to ReST format, as this is the format we're using for docs. For now, let's keep the extension as .txt in order to avoid warnings when building the documentation with Sphinx. The next patch patch will rename it to .rst and add it to the building system.

Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/

2018-09-09T21:08:58Z

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad Acked-by: "Paul E.

Documentation/cdrom: fix German sharp s in LaTex

2018-03-09T02:35:29Z

Apparently the LaTex abbreviation for the German "sharp s" (ß) (Unicode U+00DF) has changed from {\sz} to {\ss}. With {\sz}, I get this error at line 1016 (line number after another patch): ! Undefined control sequence. l.1016 ...nel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Ei{\sz }feldt, This is fixed by changing the {\sz} to {\ss}. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Documentation/cdrom: update cdrom-standard.tex for kernel changes

Documentation updates for Documentation/cdrom/cdrom-standard.tex: cdrom_device_ops: - add check_events() and generic_packet() cdrom_device_info: - add one 'const' modifier - correct some field descriptions - add some missing fields - drop 'kdev_t dev;' field Also drop sentence from documentation because it is not referenced anywhere in the kernel header or C files.

documentation: Update ide-cd documentation to reflect CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE removal

2017-10-12T17:25:31Z

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE was removed in commit 80aa31cb460d ("ide: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option (take 2)") but the ide-cd documentation was not updated and still asks users to disable it, which is misleading and involves a fruitless search.

cdrom: Make device operations read-only

2017-02-14T15:29:56Z

Since function tables are a common target for attackers, it's best to keep them in read-only memory. As such, this makes the CDROM device ops tables const. This drops additionally n_minors, since it isn't used meaningfully, and sets the only user of cdrom_dummy_generic_packet explicitly so the variables can all be const. Inspired by similar changes in grsecurity/PaX. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

doc: fix broken references

2011-09-27T16:08:04Z

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina
