Merge tag 'docs-5.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It has been a moderately busy cycle for documentation; some of the highlights are: - Numerous PDF-generation improvements - Kees's new document with guidelines for researchers studying the development community. - The ongoing stream of Chinese translations - Thorsten's new document on regression handling - A major reworking of the internal documentation for the kernel-doc script. Plus the usual stream of typo fixes and such" * tag 'docs-5.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (80 commits) docs/kernel-parameters: update description of mem= docs/zh_CN: Add sched-nice-design Chinese translation docs: scheduler: Convert schedutil.txt to ReST Docs: ktap: add code-block type docs: serial: fix a reference file name in driver.rst docs: UML: Mention telnetd for port channel docs/zh_CN: add damon reclaim translation docs/zh_CN: add damon usage translation docs/zh_CN: add admin-guide damon start translation docs/zh_CN: add admin-guide damon index translation docs/zh_CN: Refactoring the admin-guide directory index zh_CN: Add translation for admin-guide/mm/index.rst zh_CN: Add translations for admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst Add Chinese translation for vm/ksm.rst docs/zh_CN: Add sched-stats Chinese translation docs/zh_CN: add devicetree of_unittest translation docs/zh_CN: add devicetree usage-model translation docs/zh_CN: add devicetree index translation Documentation: describe how to apply incremental stable patches docs/zh_CN: add peci subsystem translation ...
