2019-02-06doc: kernel-parameters.txt: fix documentation of elevator parameterOtto Sabart
Legacy IO schedulers (cfq, deadline and noop) were removed in f382fb0bcef4. The documentation for deadline was retained because it carries over to mq-deadline as well, but location of the doc file was changed over time. The old iosched algorithms were removed from elevator= kernel parameter and mq-deadline, kyber and bfq were added with a reference to their documentation.

2019-01-16kernel-doc: suppress 'not described' warnings for embedded struct fieldsJonathan Corbet
The ability to add kerneldoc comments for fields in embedded structures is useful, but it brought along a whole bunch of warnings for fields that could not be described before. In many cases, there's little value in adding docs for these nested fields, and in cases like: struct a { struct b { int c; } d, e; }; "c" would have to be described twice (as d.c and e.c) to make the warnings go away. We can no doubt do something smarter, but simply suppressing the warnings for this case removes about 70 warnings from the docs build, freeing us to focus on the ones that matter more. So make kerneldoc be silent about missing descriptions for any field containing a ".". Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Only thing missing then is a table that quickly describes the various bits and taint flags before going into more detail, so add that as well. That table is partly based on a section from Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt, but a bit more compact. To avoid confusion I added the shortened version to kernel.txt; the same table is used in three different places now: ./tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint, Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst and Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt During review of v1 (see above) a number of existing issues with the text were raised, like outdated usages as well as incomplete or missing descriptions.

Simplify the settings in coding-style.rst by using that feature. Additionally, do not inherit any settings from emacs' linux coding style to minimize dependencies on the version of emacs that is being used.
