authors Sometimes a single patch is the result of multiple authors. As git only can have one "author" of a patch, it is still good to properly give credit to the other developers of a commit. To address this, document the "Co-Developed-by:" tag which can be used to show other authors of the patch. Note, these other authors must also provide a Signed-off-by: tag as it is their work that is being submitted here.

2017-10-07Documentation: add Kernel Driver Statement to the kernelGreg Kroah-Hartman2-0/+200
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.

Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version 3.80.

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.

A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment). Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion. Fixes: fdc81b7910ad ("stable_kernel_rules: Add clause about specification of kernel versions to patch.")

A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment).
