2017-06-09thunderbolt: Add documentation how Thunderbolt bus can be usedMika Westerberg1-0/+1
Since there are no such tool yet that handles all the low-level details of connecting devices and upgrading their firmware, add a small document that shows how the Thunderbolt bus can be used directly from command line.

2017-05-18doc: ReSTify and split LSM.txtKees Cook1-0/+1
The existing LSM.txt file covered both usage and development, so split this into two files, one under admin-guide and one under kernel development. Cc: James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-03-13cpufreq: User/admin documentation update and consolidationRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+1
The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated. It conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important pieces are missing from it. For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old outdated .txt documents it is replacing. Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward, create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document in there right away. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2016-12-15docs-rst: admin-guide: add documentation for EDACMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+1
EDAC is part of the Kernel's RAS facilities, with is useful for system admins to detect errors. So, add it to the admin's guide. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-11-07admin-guide: merge oops-tracing with bug-huntingMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+0
Now that oops-tracing.rst has only information about stack dumps found on OOPS, and bug-hunting.rst has only information about how to identify the source code line associated with a stack dump, let's merge them and improve the information inside it.

2016-10-27Merge branch 'doc-tweaks' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet1-14/+39
The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx books. In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit more accessible.
2016-10-27docs: Get rid of the "basic profiling" guideJonathan Corbet1-1/+0
The document has not been touched in over 11 years and doesn't reflect how profiling is done in the perf era. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-27docs: Get rid of the badRAM guideJonathan Corbet1-1/+0
The last release of this tool was for 2.6.28; it's hard to see how it has any relevance to current kernels. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-27docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bitJonathan Corbet1-11/+39
The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them. One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use :numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC, but it's probably early to do that.
