2020-09-24Documentation/admin-guide: README & svga: remove use of "rdev"Randy Dunlap2-6/+7
"rdev" is considered antiquated, ancient, archaic, obsolete, deprecated {choose any or all}. Remove use of "rdev" and "vidmode" (a symlink to rdev) in admin-guide/README.rst and admin-guide/svga.rst. "rdev" was removed from util-linux in 2010: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/?id=a3e40c14651fccf18e7954f081e601389baefe3f Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Acked-by: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> Cc: linux-video@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz Cc: "H.

2020-09-16kernel-doc: add support for ____cacheline_aligned attributeJonathan Cameron1-1/+2
Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for output. `____cacheline_aligned` is an attribute that is not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs. Based on previous patch to add ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp. Motivated by patches to reorder this attribute to before the variable name. Whilst we could do that in all cases, that would be a massive change and it is more common in the kernel to place this particular attribute after the variable name. A quick grep suggests approximately 400 instances of which 341 have this attribute just before a semicolon and hence after the variable name.

2020-09-16docs: Add automatic cross-reference for documentation pagesNícolas F. R. A. Prado1-1/+38
Cross-referencing to other documentation pages is possible using the :doc:`doc-file` directive from Sphinx. Add automatic markup for references to other documentation pages in the format Documentation/subfolder/doc-file.rst (the extension being optional). This requires that the path be passed all the way from the Documentation folder, which can be longer than passing a relative path through the :doc: directive, but avoids the markup, making the text cleaner when read in plain text.

2020-09-09docs: trusted-encrypted.rst: update parameters for command examplesColy Li1-3/+2
The parameters in command examples for tpm2_createprimary and tpm2_evictcontrol are outdated, people (like me) are not able to create trusted key by these command examples. This patch updates the parameters of command example tpm2_createprimary and tpm2_evictcontrol in trusted-encrypted.rst. With Linux kernel v5.8 and tpm2-tools-4.1, people can create a trusted key by following the examples in this document.

2020-09-04Make the docs build "work" with Sphinx 3.xJonathan Corbet1-1/+14
The Sphinx 3.x upgrade broke a number of things in our special "cdomain" module that are not easy to fix. For now, just disable that module for the 3.x build and put out a warning that the build will not be perfect. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2020-09-04submitting-patches.rst: presume git will be usedDrew DeVault1-132/+16
Git is fairly ubiquitous these days, and the additional information in this documentation for preparing patches without it is not especially relevant anymore and may serve to confuse new contributors. The git request-pull comments were also removed, given that it is not a tool well-suited to novice contributors, nor do maintainers especially appreciate receiving unexpected request-pulls from new contributors.

The repeated sign-offs necessary when a subsystem maintainer modifies an incoming patch has been moved from submitting-patches.rst to Documentation/maintainer, since the affairs of a subsystem maintainer are not especially relevant to someone reading a guide for how to submit their first patch.
