Merge tag 'docs-4.15-2' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A few late-arriving docs updates that have no real reason to wait.

  There's a new "Co-Developed-by" tag described by Greg, and a build
  enhancement from Willy to generate docs warnings during a kernel build
  (but only when additional warnings have been requested in general)"

* tag 'docs-4.15-2' of git://git.lwn.net/linux:
  Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments
  Documentation: fix profile= options in kernel-parameters.txt
  documentation/svga.txt: update outdated file
  kokr/memory-barriers.txt: Fix typo in paring example
  kokr/memory-barriers/txt: Replace uses of "transitive"

 Options
 ~~~~~~~
 
-Some options can be set in the source text (in arch/i386/boot/video.S).
-All of them are simple #define's -- change them to #undef's when you want to
-switch them off. Currently supported:
-
-CONFIG_VIDEO_SVGA - enables autodetection of SVGA cards. This is switched
-off by default as it's a bit unreliable due to terribly bad PC design. If you
-really want to have the adapter autodetected (maybe in case the ``scan`` feature
-doesn't work on your machine), switch this on and don't cry if the results
-are not completely sane. In case you really need this feature, please drop me
-a mail as I think of removing it some day.
-
-CONFIG_VIDEO_VESA - enables autodetection of VESA modes. If it doesn't work
-on your machine (or displays a "Error: Scanning of VESA modes failed" message),
-you can switch it off and report as a bug.
-
-CONFIG_VIDEO_COMPACT - enables compacting of the video mode list. If there
-are more modes with the same screen size, only the first one is kept (see above
-for more info on mode ordering). However, in very strange cases it's possible
-that the first "version" of the mode doesn't work although some of the others
-do -- in this case turn this switch off to see the rest.
-
-CONFIG_VIDEO_RETAIN - enables retaining of screen contents when switching
-video modes. Works only with some boot loaders which leave enough room for the
-buffer. (If you have old LILO, you can adjust heap_end_ptr and loadflags
-in setup.S, but it's better to upgrade the boot loader...)
-
-CONFIG_VIDEO_LOCAL - enables inclusion of "local modes" in the list. The
-local modes are added automatically to the beginning of the list not depending
-on hardware configuration. The local modes are listed in the source text after
-the "local_mode_table:" line. The comment before this line describes the format
-of the table (which also includes a video card name to be displayed on the
-top of the menu).
-
-CONFIG_VIDEO_400_HACK - force setting of 400 scan lines for standard VGA
-modes. This option is intended to be used on certain buggy BIOSes which draw
-some useless logo using font download and then fail to reset the correct mode.
-Don't use unless needed as it forces resetting the video card.
-
-CONFIG_VIDEO_GFX_HACK - includes special hack for setting of graphics modes
-to be used later by special drivers (e.g., 800x600 on IBM ThinkPad -- see
-ftp://ftp.phys.keio.ac.jp/pub/XFree86/800x600/XF86Configs/XF86Config.IBM_TP560).
