2016-09-20doc: development-process: rename files to rstMauro Carvalho Chehab1-413/+0
Now that the documents were converted, rename them to .rst, as this is needed by the Sphinx build logic. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-09-20doc: development-process: convert it to ReST markupMauro Carvalho Chehab1-16/+30
This document is on good shape for ReST: all it was needed was to fix the section markups, add a toctree, convert the tables and add a few code/quote blocks. While not strictly required, I opted to use lowercase for the titles, just like the other books that were converted to Sphinx. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-07-20docs: deprecate kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txtJonathan Corbet1-1/+1
Now that the new Sphinx world order is taking over, the information in kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt is outmoded. I hate to remove it altogether, since it's one of those files that people expect to find. But we can add a warning and fix all the other pointers to it. Reminded-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle1-1/+1
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 <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2011-06-23sched: Generalize sleep inside spinlock detectionFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
The sleeping inside spinlock detection is actually used for more general sleeping inside atomic sections debugging: preemption disabled, rcu read side critical sections, interrupts, interrupt disabled, etc... Change the name of the config and its help section to reflect its more general role. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2011-03-25docs: update the development process documentJonathan Corbet1-3/+18
Here's a set of changes updating Documentation/development-process. I have update kernel releases and relevant statistics, added information for a couple of tools, zapped some trailing white space, and generally tried to make it more closely match the current state of affairs. [Typo fixes from Joe Perches and Nicolas Kaiser incorporated] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Acked-by: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>
2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock1-1/+1
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.
