2017-05-18Merge remote-tracking branch 'mauro-exp/docbook3' into death-to-docbookJonathan Corbet2-0/+213
Mauro says: This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST. The first version was originally send as 3 patch series: [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file under Documentation/security, after both this series and a security Documentation patch series gets merged. It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on some kernel-doc markups. I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all existing ReST books.

2016-11-29doc: debugobjects: actually pull in the kerneldoc commentsJonathan Corbet1-19/+15
Add the appropriate markup to get the kerneldoc comments out of lib/debugobjects.c that have never seen the light of day until now. A logical next step, left for the reader at the moment, is to move the function descriptions *out* of debug-objects.rst and into the kerneldoc comments themselves. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-11-29doc: Convert the debugobjects DocBook template to sphinxJonathan Corbet2-2/+328
A couple of the most minor heading tweaks, otherwise no changes to the text itself beyond the mechanical conversion. Note that the inclusion of the kerneldoc comments from the source has never worked, since exported symbols were asked for and none of those functions are exported to modules. It doesn't work here either :) Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
