2016-10-27docs: Collapse the process guide TOCJonathan Corbet
I believe this makes the page as a whole more approachable. Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-27docs: Tweak submitting-patches.rst formattingJonathan Corbet
The main goal here was to get the subsections to show in the TOC as they do for all the other documents. Also call out the DCO in the section title since it's important. Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-27docs: Apply some basic organization to the process guideJonathan Corbet
Put like documents together, with the essential ones at the top, and split the TOC into sections. Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-27docs: Get rid of the "basic profiling" guideJonathan Corbet
The document has not been touched in over 11 years and doesn't reflect how profiling is done in the perf era. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-27docs: Get rid of the badRAM guideJonathan Corbet
The last release of this tool was for 2.6.28; it's hard to see how it has any relevance to current kernels. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-27docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bitJonathan Corbet
The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them. One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use :numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC, but it's probably early to do that.

2016-10-27docs: retitle the kernel-documentation.rstJonathan Corbet

2016-10-27docs: Tweak the top-level Sphinx pageJonathan Corbet
This will be the initial landing point for readers, so give them a bit of introductory material. Also split the TOC into area-specific chunks to make the whole thing a bit more approachable.

2016-10-25Merge branch 'mauro-books' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet
Merge Mauro's massive patch series creating the process and admin-guide books. I think there's a lot of stuff to clean up here, but there's no point in holding things up for that. Mauro sez: This patch series continues the efforts of converting the Linux Kernel documentation to Sphinx. It contains text to ReST conversion of several files under Documentation, and a few ones under the main dir (README, REPORTING-BUGS). All patches on this series can be found on my development tree: https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=lkml-books-v2 The Kernel docs html output after this series can be seen at: https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/kernel_docs/

2016-10-24doc: re-add CodingStyle and SubmittingPatchesMauro Carvalho Chehab
Those files got moved to Documentation/process, but as they're very well known files, add pointers to their new locations. PS.: I opted to not merge this patch with the previous one in order to make the diff of the previous one more consistent, as it will show only renames.

2016-10-24Documentation/unicode.txt: convert it to ReST markupMauro Carvalho Chehab
Probably, unicode is something that we might remove from the docs, as all modern systems support it. Yet, this chapter is fun, as it mentions support for the Klington fictional charset ;) On the other hand, I bet all other OS user manuals explicit mention unicode support. So, convert it to ReST and include it at the user's book. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
