"On x86" and "On SPARC" are now definition list terms, like "On PowerPC", "On other", and "On all". The Credits list is now a bulleted list, like lots of Credits lists in other files. This prevents the list from becoming a single long, unpunctuated sentence in the generated documentation. I also did a couple of other tiny readability improvements to the "How do I use the magic SysRq key?" section while I was there.

Provide more information about __ex_table sorting post link. The exception tables and fixup tables use a commonly recurring pattern in the kernel of storing the address of labels as date in custom ELF sections, then finding these sections, iterating elements within them, and possibly revisiting them or modifying the data at these addresses. Sorting readonly arrays to minimize runtime penalties is quite clever. Suggested-by: H.

Mauro says (as he's cleaning up my mess): This small series address a regression caused by a new patch at docs-next (and at linux-next). Before this patch, when a cross-reference to a chapter within the documentation is needed, we had to add a markup like: .. _foo: foo === This behavor is now different after this patch: 58ad30cf ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") As a Sphinx extension now creates automatically a reference like the above, without requiring any extra markup. That, however, comes with a price: it is not possible anymore to have two sections with the same name within the entire Kernel docs! This causes thousands of warnings, as we have sections named "introduction" on lots of places. This series solve this regression by doing two changes: 1) The references are now prefixed by the document name. So, a file named "bar" would have the "foo" reference as "bar:foo". 2) It will only use the first two levels. The first one is (usually) the name of the document, and the second one the chapter name. This solves almost all problems we have. Still, there are a few places where we have two chapters at the same document with the same name. The first patch addresses this problem. The second patch limits the escope of the autosectionlabel.

The autosectionlabel extension is nice, as it allows to refer to a section by its name without requiring any extra tag to create a reference name. However, on its default, it has two serious problems: 1) the namespace is global. So, two files with different "introduction" section would create a label with the same name. This is easily solvable by forcing the extension to prepend the file name with: autosectionlabel_prefix_document = True 2) It doesn't work hierarchically. So, if there are two level 1 sessions (let's say, one labeled "open" and another one "ioctl") and both have a level 2 "synopsis" label, both section 2 will have the same identical name. Currently, there's no way to tell Sphinx to create an hierarchical reference like: open / synopsis ioctl / synopsis This causes around 800 warnings. So, the fix should be to not let autosectionlabel to produce references for anything that it is not at a chapter level within any doc, with: autosectionlabel_maxdepth = 2 Fixes: 58ad30cf ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/74f4d8d91c648d7101c45b4b99cc93532f4dadc6.1584716446.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Changeset 58ad30cf ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document.

Commit 9c44bc03 ("softlockup: allow panic on lockup") added the softlockup_panic sysctl, but didn't add information about it to the file Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst (which in that time certainly wasn't rst and had other name!). This patch just adds the respective documentation and references it from the corresponding entry in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.

The virt_mechanism reference there points to a section called elsewhere (Virtualization mitigation). Also, it is not used anywere. Besides that, it conflicts with a label with the same name inside: Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.rst Perhaps added due to some cut-and-paste?
