2020-01-24docs: Keep up with the location of NoUriJonathan Corbet
Sphinx 2.1 moved sphinx.environment.NoUri into sphinx.errors; that produced this warning in the docs build: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/registry.py:473: RemovedInSphinx30Warning: sphinx.environment.NoUri is deprecated. Grab NoUri from the right place and make the warning go away. That symbol was only added to sphinx.errors in 2.1, so we must still import it from the old location when running in older versions.

2020-01-16Documentation: Call out example SYM_FUNC_* usage as x86-specificWill Deacon
The example given in asm-annotations.rst to describe the constraints that a function should meet in order to be annotated with a SYM_FUNC_* macro is x86-specific, and not necessarily applicable to architectures using branch-and-link style calling conventions such as arm64. Tweak the example text to call out the x86-specific text.

Daniel W. S. Almeida writes: This series converts a few docs in Documentation/filesystems/nfs to RST. The docs were also moved into admin-guide because they contain information that might be useful for system administrators Most changes are related to aesthetics and presentation, i.e. the content itself remains mostly untouched. The use of markup was limited in order not to negatively impact the plain-text reading experience.

The second and fourth parameters (char *dir_name, unsigned long flags) are passed by ksys_mount() to do_mount() unchanged, and therefore do not require particular care. Moreover, instead of pretending to be userspace, the opening of /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr can be implemented using in-kernel functions as well. Thereby, ksys_dup() can be removed for good" [ This doesn't get rid of the special "kernel init runs with KERNEL_DS" case, but it at least removes _some_ of the users of "treat kernel pointers as user pointers for our magical init sequence".
