Add the full text of the ISC license to the kernel tree. It was copied directly from: https://spdx.org/licenses/ISC.html With the mention of "ISC" in the warranty disclaimer replaced with "THE AUTHOR" as done in the ISC license headers used in the ath10k and brcmfmac wifi drivers.

The only reason we have the CDDL-1.0 license text around is for some dual-licensed files from virtualbox. New code should not use this license.

Let's document the magic a bit, especially why device_hotplug_lock is required when adding/removing memory and how it all play together with requests to online/offline memory from user space.

My eyesight is not in good shape, which means that I have difficulty reading the online Linux documentation. Specifically, body text is oddly small compared to list items and the contrast of various text elements is too low for me to be able to see easily. Therefore, alter the HTML theme overrides to make the text larger and increase the contrast for better visibility, and trust the typeface choices of the reader's browser. For the PDF output, increase the text size, use a sans-serif typeface for sans-serif text, and use a serif typeface for "roman" serif text. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

There were several rounds of the patches that enabled "functions" directive with no parameters in kerneldoc.py to allow including all the kernel-doc comments except the DOC: sections. Yet, the boot-time-mm.rst sneaked in with the older version of that directive and was not updated. Update it now.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

The dtb= parameter is no longer the primary mechanism for providing a devicetree to the kernel. Now either firmware or the boot selector (ex. Grub) should provide the devicetree and dtb= should only be used for debug or when using firmware that doesn't understand DT. Update the EFI stub documentation to reflect the current usage.

The documentation and TOCs are organized in a manner of a tree. Adding a TOC to the root, which refers to a file which is located in a subfolder forms a grid. Those TOCs are a bit confusing and thats why we get additional error messages while building partial documentation:: $ make SPHINXDIRS=process htmldocs ... checking consistency... Documentation/process/license-rules.rst: \ WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree To fix it, the *root-license-TOC* is replaced by a reference and the 'license-roles.txt' is added to the Documentation/process/index.rst TOC.
