Documentation: fix links to mailing list services

2024-07-03T22:52:54+00:00

There have been some changes to the way mailing lists are hosted at kernel.org. This patch does the following: 1. fixes links that are pointing at the outdated resources 2. removes an outdated patchbomb admonition We still don't particularly want or welcome huge patchbombs, but they are less likely to overload our systems.

docs: Extend and refactor index of further kernel docs

2024-06-26T22:53:03+00:00

Extend the Index of Further Kernel Documentation by adding entries for the Rust for Linux website, the Linux Foundation's YouTube channel, and notes on the second edition of Billimoria's kernel programming book. Also, perform some refactoring: format the text to 75 characters per line and sort per-section content in chronological order of publication.

Merge tag 'sound-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound

2022-08-06T17:19:51+00:00

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai: "As the diffstat shows, we've had lots of developments in a wide range at this time; the majority of changes are about ASoC, including subsystem-wide cleanups, continued SOF / Intel updates and a bunch of new drivers (as usual), while there have been some significant (but almost invisible) improvements in ALSA core side, too. Below are some highlights: Core: - Faster lookups of control elements with Xarray; normal user won't notice, but on the devices with tons of control elements, it can be visibly faster - Support for input validation for controls; this will harden for badly written drivers in general with a slight overhead - Deferred async signal handling for working around the potential deadlocks - Cleanup / refactoring raw MIDI locking code ASoC: - Restructing of the set_fmt() callbacks for making things clearer in situations like CODEC to CODEC links - Clean up and modernizing the DAI naming scheme setups - Merge of more of the Intel AVS driver stack, including some board integrations - New version 4 mechanism for communication with SOF DSPs - Suppoort for dynamically selecting the PLL to use at runtime on i.MX platforms - Improvements for CODEC to CODEC support in the generic cards - Support for AMD Jadeite and various machines, AMD RPL, Intel MetorLake DSPs, Mediatek MT8186 DSPs and MT6366, nVidia Tegra MDDRC, OPE and PEQ, NXP TFA9890, Qualcomm SDM845, WCD9335 and WAS883x, and Texas Instruments TAS2780 HD- and USB-audio: - Continued improvement for CS35L41 (sub)codec support - More quirks for various devices (HP, Lenovo, Dell, Clevo)" * tag 'sound-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound: (778 commits) ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirk for HP Spectre x360 15-eb0xxx ALSA: line6: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() ALSA: hda: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() ALSA: pcm: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() ALSA: core: Replace scnprintf() with sysfs_emit() ALSA: control-led: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() ALSA: aoa: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() ALSA: ac97: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirk for Clevo NV45PZ ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirk for Lenovo Yoga9 14IAP7 ALSA: control: Use deferred fasync helper ALSA: pcm: Use deferred fasync helper ALSA: timer: Use deferred fasync helper ALSA: core: Add async signal helpers ASoC: q6asm: use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc() ACPI: scan: Add CLSA0101 Laptop Support ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Support CLSA0101 ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Use the CS35L41 HDA internal define ASoC: dt-bindings: use spi-peripheral-props.yaml ASoC: codecs: va-macro: use fsgen as clock ...

docs: kernel-docs: add a reference mentioned in submitting-drivers.rst

2022-07-14T21:03:56+00:00

One section in submitting-drivers.rst was just a collection of references to other external documentation. All except the one added in this commit is already mentioned in kernel-docs or other places in the kernel documentation. Add Arjan van de Ven's article on How to NOT write kernel driver to this index of further kernel documentation.
