Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.
- The old driver statement has been added to the kernel docs.
- We have a couple of new helper scripts. find-unused-docs.sh from
Sayli Karnic will point out kerneldoc comments that are not actually
used in the documentation. Jani Nikula's
documentation-file-ref-check finds references to non-existing files.
- A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.
- Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST
Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.
This set reaches outside of Documentation/ a bit more than most. In
all cases, the changes are to comment docs, mostly from Randy, in
places where there didn't seem to be anybody better to take them"

Way back in 2008 we didn't have "robust" in-kernel documentation system,
so the idea of putting something like the kernel driver statement in the
kernel tree wasn't even imagined. But now that has changed, so add the
old document to the kernel source itself to allow for us to properly
reference it in one canonical place (as the LF wiki keeps moving things
around.)
This also will allow people to add their names to it, as I seem to have
lost the ability to do that by not knowing how to edit things on the
original document.

Pull Kbuild thin archives updates from Masahiro Yamada:
"Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin.
THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature
only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different
intermediate-artifact schemes.
Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has
various advantages:
- save disk space for builds
- speed-up building a little
- fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to more
flexibility for the final linking
- work better with dead code elimination we are planning
As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally so
that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect".
With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually
showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now"
* tag 'kbuild-thinar-v4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
tile: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile
kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs
x86/um: thin archives build fix
tile: thin archives fix linking
ia64: thin archives fix linking

Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version
3.80. Example errors:
$ git describe
v4.11
$ make --version | head -1
GNU Make 3.80
$ make defconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator. Stop.
make: *** [defconfig] Error 2
$ make ARCH=arm64 help
arch/arm64/Makefile:43: *** unterminated call to function `warning': missing `)'. Stop.
$ make help >/dev/null
./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive
./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional. Stop.
make: *** [help] Error 2
The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e9e01 ("kbuild:
handle multi-objs dependency appropriately"). Since then (i.e. v3.18),
GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel, but nobody has
ever complained aboutt (or noticed) it.
Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old. It would not hurt to
match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles.

In Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst there were a couple of paragraphs
that spilled over the 80 character line length. This was likely caused
when the document was converted to reStructuredText. Re-flow the
paragraphs and make the document references proper reStructuredText
:ref: links.
This also adds the appropriate reStructuredText file heading to
kernel-parameters.rst as referenced by the kernel-parameters link in
this patch.

For figure handling use the 'figure' replacement::
.. kernel-figure:: svg_image.svg
:alt: simple SVG image
SVG image example
Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is
provided by the *render* directive.::
.. kernel-render:: DOT
:alt: foobar digraph
:caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.
digraph foo {
"bar" -> "baz";
}
The *render* directive is a concept to integrate *render* markups and
languages, yet supported markups:
* DOT: render embedded Graphviz's **DOT**
* SVG: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**)

The original text was not clear if white space or other harmless patches
should be merged in -rc kernels. The discussion at Kernel Summit said
that we should be more strict about sending regression fixes only.

Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't
allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder
to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir.

`Specific guidelines for the kernel documentation` section of
`kernel-documentation.rst` suggests to use ``~`` for subsection but
subsections in HOWTO is not marked in the format. This commit marks
them in the format.

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.

This is ancient stuff and we don't do things this way anymore. In the
absence of simply deleting the document, at least add a warning to it.

This is crufty stuff and should maybe just be deleted, but I'm not quite

The main goal here was to get the subsections to show in the TOC as they do
for all the other documents. Also call out the DCO in the section title
since it's important.
