Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Some big changes this month, headlined by the addition of a new
  formatted documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system.

  The objectives here are to make it easier to create better-integrated
  (and more attractive) documents while (eventually) dumping our
  one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together system for something that is widely
  used and maintained by others.  There's a fair amount of information
  what's being done, why, and how to use it in:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/
    https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/

  Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how
  it works.

  For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon
  see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some
  significant media conversion work as well.  Once all the docs have
  been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are
  are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go
  away.

  Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make
  this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from
  Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.

  Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course
  of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable.  That file may be
  a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that
  situation to last for any real length of time.

  Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks,
  updates, and typo fixes"

    read some of the dirty data, though.
 
-TROUBLESHOOTING PERFORMANCE:
+
+HOWTO/COOKBOOK
+--------------
+
+A) Starting a bcache with a missing caching device
+
+If registering the backing device doesn't help, it's already there, you just need
+to force it to run without the cache:
+	host:~# echo /dev/sdb1 > /sys/fs/bcache/register
+	[  119.844831] bcache: register_bcache() error opening /dev/sdb1: device already registered
+
+Next, you try to register your caching device if it's present. However
+if it's absent, or registration fails for some reason, you can still
+start your bcache without its cache, like so:
+	host:/sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache# echo 1 > running
+
+Note that this may cause data loss if you were running in writeback mode.
+
+
+B) Bcache does not find its cache
+
+	host:/sys/block/md5/bcache# echo 0226553a-37cf-41d5-b3ce-8b1e944543a8 > attach
+	[ 1933.455082] bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Couldn't find uuid for md5 in set
+	[ 1933.478179] bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 0226553a-37cf-41d5-b3ce-8b1e944543a8
+	[ 1933.478179] : cache set not found
+
+In this case, the caching device was simply not registered at boot
+or disappeared and came back, and needs to be (re-)registered:
+	host:/sys/block/md5/bcache# echo /dev/sdh2 > /sys/fs/bcache/register
+
+
+C) Corrupt bcache crashes the kernel at device registration time:
+
+This should never happen.  If it does happen, then you have found a bug!
+Please report it to the bcache development list: linux-bcache@vger.kernel.org
+
+Be sure to provide as much information that you can including kernel dmesg
+output if available so that we may assist.
+
+
+D) Recovering data without bcache:
+
+If bcache is not available in the kernel, a filesystem on the backing
+device is still available at an 8KiB offset. So either via a loopdev
+of the backing device created with --offset 8K, or any value defined by
+--data-offset when you originally formatted bcache with `make-bcache`.
+
+For example:
+	losetup -o 8192 /dev/loop0 /dev/your_bcache_backing_dev
+
+This should present your unmodified backing device data in /dev/loop0
+
+If your cache is in writethrough mode, then you can safely discard the
+cache device without loosing data.
+
+
+E) Wiping a cache device
+
+host:~# wipefs -a /dev/sdh2
+16 bytes were erased at offset 0x1018 (bcache)
+they were: c6 85 73 f6 4e 1a 45 ca 82 65 f5 7f 48 ba 6d 81
+
+After you boot back with bcache enabled, you recreate the cache and attach it:
+host:~# make-bcache -C /dev/sdh2

+	Ooops, it's disabled, but not unregistered, so it's still protected
+

+
+Now we can wipe it:
+	host:~# wipefs -a /dev/nvme0n1p4
+	/dev/nvme0n1p4: 16 bytes were erased at offset 0x00001018 (bcache): c6 85 73 f6 4e 1a 45 ca 82 65 f5 7f 48 ba 6d 81
+
+
+G) dm-crypt and bcache
+
+First setup bcache unencrypted and then install dmcrypt on top of
+/dev/bcache<N> This will work faster than if you dmcrypt both the backing
+and caching devices and then install bcache on top. [benchmarks?]
+
+
+H) Stop/free a registered bcache to wipe and/or recreate it
+
+Suppose that you need to free up all bcache references so that you can
+fdisk run and re-register a changed partition table, which won't work
+if there are any active backing or caching devices left on it:
+
+1) Is it present in /dev/bcache* ? (there are times where it won't be)
+
+If so, it's easy:
+	host:/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# echo 1 > stop
+
+2) But if your backing device is gone, this won't work:
+	host:/sys/block/bcache0# cd bcache
+	bash: cd: bcache: No such file or directory
+
+In this case, you may have to unregister the dmcrypt block device that
+references this bcache to free it up:
+	host:~# dmsetup remove oldds1
+	bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped
+	bcache: cache_set_free() Cache set 5bc072a8-ab17-446d-9744-e247949913c1 unregistered
+
+This causes the backing bcache to be removed from /sys/fs/bcache and
+then it can be reused.  This would be true of any block device stacking
+where bcache is a lower device.
+
+3) In other cases, you can also look in /sys/fs/bcache/:
+
+host:/sys/fs/bcache# ls -l */{cache?,bdev?}
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  5 09:39 0226553a-37cf-41d5-b3ce-8b1e944543a8/bdev1 -> ../../../devices/virtual/block/dm-1/bcache/
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  5 09:39 0226553a-37cf-41d5-b3ce-8b1e944543a8/cache0 -> ../../../devices/virtual/block/dm-4/bcache/
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  5 09:39 5bc072a8-ab17-446d-9744-e247949913c1/cache0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/ata10/host9/target9:0:0/9:0:0:0/block/sdl/sdl2/bcache/
+
+The device names will show which UUID is relevant, cd in that directory
+and stop the cache:
+	host:/sys/fs/bcache/5bc072a8-ab17-446d-9744-e247949913c1# echo 1 > stop
+
+This will free up bcache references and let you reuse the partition for
+other purposes.
+
+
+
+TROUBLESHOOTING PERFORMANCE
+---------------------------
 
 Bcache has a bunch of config options and tunables. The defaults are intended to
 be reasonable for typical desktop and server workloads, but they're not what you
 want for getting the best possible numbers when benchmarking.
 
+ - Backing device alignment
+
+   The default metadata size in bcache is 8k.  If your backing device is
+   RAID based, then be sure to align this by a multiple of your stride
+   width using `make-bcache --data-offset`. If you intend to expand your
+   disk array in the future, then multiply a series of primes by your
+   raid stripe size to get the disk multiples that you would like.
+
+   For example:  If you have a 64k stripe size, then the following offset
+   would provide alignment for many common RAID5 data spindle counts:
+	64k * 2*2*2*3*3*5*7 bytes = 161280k
+
+   That space is wasted, but for only 157.5MB you can grow your RAID 5
+   volume to the following data-spindle counts without re-aligning:
+	3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,14,15,18,20,21 ...

+==========================
+Linux Kernel Documentation
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The Linux kernel uses `Sphinx`_ to generate pretty documentation from
+`reStructuredText`_ files under ``Documentation``. To build the documentation in
+HTML or PDF formats, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The generated
+documentation is placed in ``Documentation/output``.
+
+.. _Sphinx: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/
+.. _reStructuredText: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
+
+The reStructuredText files may contain directives to include structured
+documentation comments, or kernel-doc comments, from source files. Usually these
+are used to describe the functions and types and design of the code. The
+kernel-doc comments have some special structure and formatting, but beyond that
+they are also treated as reStructuredText.
+
+There is also the deprecated DocBook toolchain to generate documentation from
+DocBook XML template files under ``Documentation/DocBook``. The DocBook files
+are to be converted to reStructuredText, and the toolchain is slated to be
+removed.
+
+Finally, there are thousands of plain text documentation files scattered around
+``Documentation``. Some of these will likely be converted to reStructuredText
+over time, but the bulk of them will remain in plain text.
+
+Sphinx Build
+============
+
+The usual way to generate the documentation is to run ``make htmldocs`` or
+``make pdfdocs``. There are also other formats available, see the documentation
+section of ``make help``. The generated documentation is placed in
+format-specific subdirectories under ``Documentation/output``.
+
+To generate documentation, Sphinx (``sphinx-build``) must obviously be
+installed. For prettier HTML output, the Read the Docs Sphinx theme
+(``sphinx_rtd_theme``) is used if available. For PDF output, ``rst2pdf`` is also
+needed. All of these are widely available and packaged in distributions.
+
+To pass extra options to Sphinx, you can use the ``SPHINXOPTS`` make
+variable. For example, use ``make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs`` to get more verbose
+output.
+
+To remove the generated documentation, run ``make cleandocs``.
+
+Writing Documentation
+=====================
+
+Adding new documentation can be as simple as:
+
+1. Add a new ``.rst`` file somewhere under ``Documentation``.
+2. Refer to it from the Sphinx main `TOC tree`_ in ``Documentation/index.rst``.
+
+.. _TOC tree: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
+
+This is usually good enough for simple documentation (like the one you're
+reading right now), but for larger documents it may be advisable to create a
+subdirectory (or use an existing one). For example, the graphics subsystem
+documentation is under ``Documentation/gpu``, split to several ``.rst`` files,
+and has a separate ``index.rst`` (with a ``toctree`` of its own) referenced from
+the main index.
+
+See the documentation for `Sphinx`_ and `reStructuredText`_ on what you can do
+with them. In particular, the Sphinx `reStructuredText Primer`_ is a good place
+to get started with reStructuredText. There are also some `Sphinx specific
+markup constructs`_.
+
+.. _reStructuredText Primer: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html
+.. _Sphinx specific markup constructs: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/index.html
+
+Specific guidelines for the kernel documentation
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are some specific guidelines for the kernel documentation:
+
+* Please don't go overboard with reStructuredText markup. Keep it simple.
+
+* Please stick to this order of heading adornments:
+
+  1. ``=`` with overline for document title::
+
+       ==============
+       Document title
+       ==============
+
+  2. ``=`` for chapters::
+
+       Chapters
+       ========
+
+  3. ``-`` for sections::
+
+       Section
+       -------
+
+  4. ``~`` for subsections::
+
+       Subsection
+       ~~~~~~~~~~
+
+  Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than imposing a fixed
+  number and order of section title adornment styles, the order enforced will be
+  the order as encountered."), having the higher levels the same overall makes
+  it easier to follow the documents.
+
+list tables
+-----------
+
+We recommend the use of *list table* formats. The *list table* formats are
+double-stage lists. Compared to the ASCII-art they might not be as
+comfortable for 
+readers of the text files. Their advantage is that they are easy to
+create or modify and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningful,
+because it is limited to the modified content.
+
+The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with
+some additional features:
+
+* column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
+  additional columns
+
+* row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
+  additional rows
+
+* auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right
+  side of that table-row.  With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can
+  changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automatically inserts (empty)
+  cells instead of spanning the last cell.
+
+options:
+
+* ``:header-rows:``   [int] count of header rows
+* ``:stub-columns:``  [int] count of stub columns
+* ``:widths:``        [[int] [int] ... ] widths of columns
+* ``:fill-cells:``    instead of auto-spanning missing cells, insert missing cells
+
+roles:
+
+* ``:cspan:`` [int] additional columns (*morecols*)
+* ``:rspan:`` [int] additional rows (*morerows*)
+

+Including kernel-doc comments
+=============================
+
+The Linux kernel source files may contain structured documentation comments, or
+kernel-doc comments to describe the functions and types and design of the
+code. The documentation comments may be included to any of the reStructuredText
+documents using a dedicated kernel-doc Sphinx directive extension.
+
+The kernel-doc directive is of the format::
+
+  .. kernel-doc:: source
+     :option:
+
+The *source* is the path to a source file, relative to the kernel source
+tree. The following directive options are supported:
+
+export: *[source-pattern ...]*
+  Include documentation for all functions in *source* that have been exported
+  using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` or ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` either in *source* or in any
+  of the files specified by *source-pattern*.
+
+  The *source-pattern* is useful when the kernel-doc comments have been placed
+  in header files, while ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` and ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` are next to
+  the function definitions.
+
+  Examples::
+
+    .. kernel-doc:: lib/bitmap.c
+       :export:
+
+    .. kernel-doc:: include/net/mac80211.h
+       :export: net/mac80211/*.c
+
+internal: *[source-pattern ...]*
+  Include documentation for all functions and types in *source* that have
+  **not** been exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` or ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` either
+  in *source* or in any of the files specified by *source-pattern*.
+
+  Example::
+
+    .. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_audio.c
+       :internal:
+
+doc: *title*
+  Include documentation for the ``DOC:`` paragraph identified by *title* in
+  *source*. Spaces are allowed in *title*; do not quote the *title*. The *title*
+  is only used as an identifier for the paragraph, and is not included in the
+  output. Please make sure to have an appropriate heading in the enclosing
+  reStructuredText document.
+
+  Example::
+
+    .. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_audio.c
+       :doc: High Definition Audio over HDMI and Display Port
+
+functions: *function* *[...]*
+  Include documentation for each *function* in *source*.
+
+  Example::
+
+    .. kernel-doc:: lib/bitmap.c
+       :functions: bitmap_parselist bitmap_parselist_user
+
+Without options, the kernel-doc directive includes all documentation comments
+from the source file.
+
+The kernel-doc extension is included in the kernel source tree, at
+``Documentation/sphinx/kernel-doc.py``. Internally, it uses the
+``scripts/kernel-doc`` script to extract the documentation comments from the
+source.
+
+Writing kernel-doc comments
+===========================
+
+In order to provide embedded, "C" friendly, easy to maintain, but consistent and
+extractable overview, function and type documentation, the Linux kernel has
+adopted a consistent style for documentation comments. The format for this
+documentation is called the kernel-doc format, described below. This style
+embeds the documentation within the source files, using a few simple conventions
+for adding documentation paragraphs and documenting functions and their
+parameters, structures and unions and their members, enumerations, and typedefs.
+
+.. note:: The kernel-doc format is deceptively similar to gtk-doc or Doxygen,
+   yet distinctively different, for historical reasons. The kernel source
+   contains tens of thousands of kernel-doc comments. Please stick to the style
+   described here.
+
+The ``scripts/kernel-doc`` script is used by the Sphinx kernel-doc extension in
+the documentation build to extract this embedded documentation into the various
+HTML, PDF, and other format documents.
+
+In order to provide good documentation of kernel functions and data structures,
+please use the following conventions to format your kernel-doc comments in the
+Linux kernel source.
+
+How to format kernel-doc comments
+---------------------------------
+
+The opening comment mark ``/**`` is reserved for kernel-doc comments. Only
+comments so marked will be considered by the ``kernel-doc`` tool. Use it only
+for comment blocks that contain kernel-doc formatted comments. The usual ``*/``
+should be used as the closing comment marker. The lines in between should be
+prefixed by `` * `` (space star space).
+
+The function and type kernel-doc comments should be placed just before the
+function or type being described. The overview kernel-doc comments may be freely
+placed at the top indentation level.
+
+Example kernel-doc function comment::
+
+  /**
+   * foobar() - Brief description of foobar.
+   * @arg: Description of argument of foobar.
+   *
+   * Longer description of foobar.
+   *
+   * Return: Description of return value of foobar.
+   */
+  int foobar(int arg)
+
+The format is similar for documentation for structures, enums, paragraphs,
+etc. See the sections below for details.
+
+The kernel-doc structure is extracted from the comments, and proper `Sphinx C
+Domain`_ function and type descriptions with anchors are generated for them. The
+descriptions are filtered for special kernel-doc highlights and
+cross-references. See below for details.
+
+.. _Sphinx C Domain: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/domains.html
+
+Highlights and cross-references
+-------------------------------
+
+The following special patterns are recognized in the kernel-doc comment
+descriptive text and converted to proper reStructuredText markup and `Sphinx C
+Domain`_ references.
+
+.. attention:: The below are **only** recognized within kernel-doc comments,
+	       **not** within normal reStructuredText documents.
+
+``funcname()``
+  Function reference.
+
+``@parameter``
+  Name of a function parameter. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)
+
+``%CONST``
+  Name of a constant. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)
+
+``$ENVVAR``
+  Name of an environment variable. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)
+
+``&struct name``
+  Structure reference.
+
+``&enum name``
+  Enum reference.
+
+``&typedef name``
+  Typedef reference.
+
+``&struct_name->member`` or ``&struct_name.member``
+  Structure or union member reference. The cross-reference will be to the struct
+  or union definition, not the member directly.
+
+``&name``
+  A generic type reference. Prefer using the full reference described above
+  instead. This is mostly for legacy comments.
+
+Cross-referencing from reStructuredText
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. highlight:: none
+
+To cross-reference the functions and types defined in the kernel-doc comments
+from reStructuredText documents, please use the `Sphinx C Domain`_
+references. For example::
+
+  See function :c:func:`foo` and struct/union/enum/typedef :c:type:`bar`.
+
+While the type reference works with just the type name, without the
+struct/union/enum/typedef part in front, you may want to use::
+
+  See :c:type:`struct foo <foo>`.
+  See :c:type:`union bar <bar>`.
+  See :c:type:`enum baz <baz>`.
+  See :c:type:`typedef meh <meh>`.
+
+This will produce prettier links, and is in line with how kernel-doc does the
+cross-references.
+
+For further details, please refer to the `Sphinx C Domain`_ documentation.
+
+Function documentation
+----------------------
+
+.. highlight:: c
+
+The general format of a function and function-like macro kernel-doc comment is::
+
+  /**
+   * function_name() - Brief description of function.
+   * @arg1: Describe the first argument.
+   * @arg2: Describe the second argument.
+   *        One can provide multiple line descriptions
+   *        for arguments.
+   *
+   * A longer description, with more discussion of the function function_name()
+   * that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with an
+   * empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
+   * comment lines.
+   *
+   * The longer description may have multiple paragraphs.
+   *
+   * Return: Describe the return value of foobar.
+   *
+   * The return value description can also have multiple paragraphs, and should
+   * be placed at the end of the comment block.
+   */
+
+The brief description following the function name may span multiple lines, and
+ends with an ``@argument:`` description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
+comment block.
+
+The kernel-doc function comments describe each parameter to the function, in
+order, with the ``@argument:`` descriptions. The ``@argument:`` descriptions
+must begin on the very next line following the opening brief function
+description line, with no intervening blank comment lines. The ``@argument:``
+descriptions may span multiple lines. The continuation lines may contain
+indentation. If a function parameter is ``...`` (varargs), it should be listed
+in kernel-doc notation as: ``@...:``.
+
+The return value, if any, should be described in a dedicated section at the end
+of the comment starting with "Return:".
+
+Structure, union, and enumeration documentation
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+The general format of a struct, union, and enum kernel-doc comment is::
+
+  /**
+   * struct struct_name - Brief description.
+   * @member_name: Description of member member_name.
+   *
+   * Description of the structure.
+   */
+
+Below, "struct" is used to mean structs, unions and enums, and "member" is used
+to mean struct and union members as well as enumerations in an enum.
+
+The brief description following the structure name may span multiple lines, and
+ends with a ``@member:`` description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
+comment block.
+
+The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each member of the structure, in
+order, with the ``@member:`` descriptions. The ``@member:`` descriptions must
+begin on the very next line following the opening brief function description
+line, with no intervening blank comment lines. The ``@member:`` descriptions may
+span multiple lines. The continuation lines may contain indentation.
+
+In-line member documentation comments
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The structure members may also be documented in-line within the definition::
+
+  /**
+   * struct foo - Brief description.
+   * @foo: The Foo member.
+   */
+  struct foo {
+        int foo;
+        /**
+         * @bar: The Bar member.
+         */
+        int bar;
+        /**
+         * @baz: The Baz member.
+         *
+         * Here, the member description may contain several paragraphs.
+         */
+        int baz;
+  }
+
+Private members
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Inside a struct description, you can use the "private:" and "public:" comment
+tags. Structure fields that are inside a "private:" area are not listed in the
+generated output documentation.  The "private:" and "public:" tags must begin
+immediately following a ``/*`` comment marker.  They may optionally include
+comments between the ``:`` and the ending ``*/`` marker.
+
+Example::
+
+  /**
+   * struct my_struct - short description
+   * @a: first member
+   * @b: second member
+   *
+   * Longer description
+   */
+  struct my_struct {
+      int a;
+      int b;
+  /* private: internal use only */
+      int c;
+  };
+
+
+Typedef documentation
+---------------------
+
+The general format of a typedef kernel-doc comment is::
+
+  /**
+   * typedef type_name - Brief description.
+   *
+   * Description of the type.
+   */
+
+Overview documentation comments
+-------------------------------
+
+To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can include
+kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments instead of being
+kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions, enums, or typedefs. This could be
+used for something like a theory of operation for a driver or library code, for
+example.
+
+This is done by using a ``DOC:`` section keyword with a section title.
+
+The general format of an overview or high-level documentation comment is::
+
+  /**
+   * DOC: Theory of Operation
+   *
+   * The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you
+   * want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works.
+   *
+   * foo bar splat
+   *
+   * The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage
+   * hardware, software, or its subject(s).
+   */
+
+The title following ``DOC:`` acts as a heading within the source file, but also
+as an identifier for extracting the documentation comment. Thus, the title must
+be unique within the file.
+
+Recommendations
+---------------
+
+We definitely need kernel-doc formatted documentation for functions that are
+exported to loadable modules using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` or ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL``.
+
+We also look to provide kernel-doc formatted documentation for functions
+externally visible to other kernel files (not marked "static").
+
+We also recommend providing kernel-doc formatted documentation for private (file
+"static") routines, for consistency of kernel source code layout. But this is
+lower priority and at the discretion of the MAINTAINER of that kernel source
+file.
+
+Data structures visible in kernel include files should also be documented using
+kernel-doc formatted comments.
+
+DocBook XML [DEPRECATED]
+========================
+
+.. attention::
+
+   This section describes the deprecated DocBook XML toolchain. Please do not
+   create new DocBook XML template files. Please consider converting existing
+   DocBook XML templates files to Sphinx/reStructuredText.
+
+Converting DocBook to Sphinx
+----------------------------
+
+.. highlight:: none
+
+Over time, we expect all of the documents under ``Documentation/DocBook`` to be
+converted to Sphinx and reStructuredText. For most DocBook XML documents, a good
+enough solution is to use the simple ``Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt`` script,
+which uses ``pandoc`` under the hood. For example::
+
+  $ cd Documentation/sphinx
+  $ ./tmplcvt ../DocBook/in.tmpl ../out.rst
+
+Then edit the resulting rst files to fix any remaining issues, and add the
+document in the ``toctree`` in ``Documentation/index.rst``.
+
+Components of the kernel-doc system
+-----------------------------------
+
+Many places in the source tree have extractable documentation in the form of
+block comments above functions. The components of this system are:
+
+- ``scripts/kernel-doc``
+
+  This is a perl script that hunts for the block comments and can mark them up
+  directly into reStructuredText, DocBook, man, text, and HTML. (No, not
+  texinfo.)
+
+- ``Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl``
+
+  These are XML template files, which are normal XML files with special
+  place-holders for where the extracted documentation should go.
+
+- ``scripts/docproc.c``
+
+  This is a program for converting XML template files into XML files. When a
+  file is referenced it is searched for symbols exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL), to be
+  able to distinguish between internal and external functions.
+
+  It invokes kernel-doc, giving it the list of functions that are to be
+  documented.
+
+  Additionally it is used to scan the XML template files to locate all the files
+  referenced herein. This is used to generate dependency information as used by
+  make.
+
+- ``Makefile``
+
+  The targets 'xmldocs', 'psdocs', 'pdfdocs', and 'htmldocs' are used to build
+  DocBook XML files, PostScript files, PDF files, and html files in
+  Documentation/DocBook. The older target 'sgmldocs' is equivalent to 'xmldocs'.
+
+- ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``
+
+  This is where C files are associated with SGML templates.
+
+How to use kernel-doc comments in DocBook XML template files
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+DocBook XML template files (\*.tmpl) are like normal XML files, except that they
+can contain escape sequences where extracted documentation should be inserted.
+
+``!E<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation, in ``<filename>``, for
+functions that are exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``: the function list is
+collected from files listed in ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``.
+
+``!I<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation for functions that are **not**
+exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
+
+``!D<filename>`` is used to name additional files to search for functions
+exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
+
+``!F<filename> <function [functions...]>`` is replaced by the documentation, in
+``<filename>``, for the functions listed.
+
+``!P<filename> <section title>`` is replaced by the contents of the ``DOC:``
+section titled ``<section title>`` from ``<filename>``. Spaces are allowed in
+``<section title>``; do not quote the ``<section title>``.
+
+``!C<filename>`` is replaced by nothing, but makes the tools check that all DOC:
+sections and documented functions, symbols, etc. are used. This makes sense to
+use when you use ``!F`` or ``!P`` only and want to verify that all documentation
+is included.

+    flat-table
+    ~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    Implementation of the ``flat-table`` reST-directive.
+
+    :copyright:  Copyright (C) 2016  Markus Heiser
+    :license:    GPL Version 2, June 1991 see linux/COPYING for details.
+
+    The ``flat-table`` (:py:class:`FlatTable`) is a double-stage list similar to
+    the ``list-table`` with some additional features:
+
+    * *column-span*: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
+      additional columns
+
+    * *row-span*: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
+      additional rows
+
+    * *auto span* rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the
+      right side of that table-row.  With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior
+      can changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts
+      (empty) cells instead of spanning the last cell.
+
+    Options:
+
+    * header-rows:   [int] count of header rows
+    * stub-columns:  [int] count of stub columns
+    * widths:        [[int] [int] ... ] widths of columns
+    * fill-cells:    instead of autospann missing cells, insert missing cells
+
+    roles:
+
+    * cspan: [int] additionale columns (*morecols*)
+    * rspan: [int] additionale rows (*morerows*)

+		第二十章：条件编译
+
+只要可能，就不要在 .c 文件里面使用预处理条件；这样做让代码更难阅读并且逻辑难以
+跟踪。替代方案是，在头文件定义函数在这些 .c 文件中使用这类的条件表达式，提供空
+操作的桩版本（译注：桩程序，是指用来替换一部分功能的程序段）在 #else 情况下，
+再从 .c 文件中无条件地调用这些函数。编译器会避免生成任何桩调用的代码，产生一致
+的结果，但逻辑将更加清晰。
+
+宁可编译整个函数，而不是部分函数或部分表达式。而不是在一个表达式添加 ifdef，
+解析部分或全部表达式到一个单独的辅助函数，并应用条件到该函数内。
+
+如果你有一个在特定配置中可能是未使用的函数或变量，编译器将警告它定义了但未使用，
+标记这个定义为 __maybe_unused 而不是将它包含在一个预处理条件中。（然而，如果
+一个函数或变量总是未使用的，就直接删除它。）
+
+在代码中，可能的情况下，使用 IS_ENABLED 宏来转化某个 Kconfig 标记为 C 的布尔
+表达式，并在正常的 C 条件中使用它：
+
+	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SOMETHING)) {
+		...
+	}
+
+编译器会无条件地做常数合并，就像使用 #ifdef 那样，包含或排除代码块，所以这不会
+带来任何运行时开销。然而，这种方法依旧允许 C 编译器查看块内的代码，并检查它的正确
+性（语法，类型，符号引用，等等）。因此，如果条件不满足，代码块内的引用符号将不存在，
+你必须继续使用 #ifdef。
+
+在任何有意义的 #if 或 #ifdef 块的末尾（超过几行），在 #endif 同一行的后面写下
+注释，指出该条件表达式被使用。例如：
