2019-07-15docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab1-559/+0
Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the kernel development book where it belongs. Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly parse the text file, as they're already in good shape, not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

2017-08-24rtmutex: update rt-mutex-designAlex Shi1-327/+105
The rt-mutex-design documents didn't gotten meaningful update from its first version. Even after owner's pending bit was removed in commit 8161239a8bcc ("rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock") and priority list 'plist' changed to rbtree. And Peter Zijlstra did some clean up and fix for deadline task changes on tip tree. So update it to latest code and make it meaningful. Steven Rostedt and Sebastian Siewior gave much of comments and input in this doc. Thanks!
