2024-07-16Documentation: Document user_events ioctl codeBeau Belgrave
The user events trace subsystem uses the 0x2A/'*' code for ioctls. These are published via the uapi/linux/user_events.h header file. Add a line indicating user events as the owner of the 0x2A/'*' code and reserve the first 32 sequence numbers.

2024-07-16docs: maintainer: discourage taking conversations off-listJakub Kicinski
Multiple vendors seem to prefer taking discussions off list, and ask contributors to work with them privately rather than just send patches to the list. I'd imagine this is because it's hard to fit in time for random developers popping up with features to review into packed schedule. From what I've seen "work in private" usually means someone on the company side will be assigned to handle the interaction, possibly months later. In worst case, the person scheduled to help the contributor takes over and writes the code themselves. This is not how the community is supposed to work.

2024-07-03Docs/mm/index: rename 'Legacy Documentation' to 'Unsorted Documentation'SeongJae Park
The intention of 'Legacy Documentation' chapter is to keep the old documents that not yet sorted into the new outline, and encourage new documents to be integrated in the new outline from the beginning. However, the new outline will take some more time to be completed. It has started about two years ago, and still many parts are not yet written. Also, there is no clear guidline for placing each document for all cases, for not only the 'legacy' documents, but also for new documents. For example, memory allocation profiling document has been added to the bottom of the new outline. Apparently it was not following some well-defined guideliens or a result of a discussion. Furthermore, the title ("legacy") makes people feel the documents on the chapter might be outdated or not actively maintained. Rename 'Legacy Documentation' to 'Unsorted Documentation' and remove the description saying it is for 'older' documents. After this change, new documents that not clear enough where it should be placed on the new outline can be added on the chapter while well-defined guidelines or discussion for the new outline is made.

2024-06-17Documentation: Remove "ltpc=" from the kernel-parameters.txtThomas Huth
The string "ltpc" cannot be found in the source code anymore. This kernel parameter likely belonged to the LocalTalk PC card module which has been removed in commit 03dcb90dbf62 ("net: appletalk: remove Apple/Farallon LocalTalk PC support"), so we should remove it from kernel-parameters.txt now, too.

2024-06-17Documentation: Add "S390" to the swiotlb kernel parameterThomas Huth
The "swiotlb" kernel parameter is used on s390 for protected virt since commit 64e1f0c531d1 ("s390/mm: force swiotlb for protected virtualization") and thus should be marked in kernel-parameters.txt accordingly.

2024-06-12docs: crypto: async-tx-api: fix broken code exampleAhmad Fatoum
The code example fails to compile: 1) addr_conv is defined twice, once as a VLA, which have been phased out 2) submit is not a pointer, but is still dereferenced with -> 3) The first call to async_xor() lacked the trailing semicolon Fix these issues and while at it, fix some code style nitpicks as well: 1) make the functions static as users are unlikely to export them 2) include the relevant header 3) Shorten the example a bit by removing a redundant variable definition Fixes: 04ce9ab385dc ("async_xor: permit callers to pass in a 'dma/page scribble' region") Signed-off-by: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Andre Noll <maan@tuebingen.mpg.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240529-async-dma-docs-v2-1-8faf87e72e6d@pengutronix.de

2024-06-12scripts: add scripts/checktransupdate.pyDongliang Mu
The checktransupdate.py script helps track the translation status of the documentation in different locales, e.g., zh_CN and verify if these documenation is up-to-date. More specially, it uses `git log` commit to find the latest english commit from the translation commit (order by author date) and the latest english commits from HEAD. If differences occur, report the file and commits that need to be updated.
