The Linux Kernel documentation
==============================
This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
you want to help out.
Working with the development community
--------------------------------------
The essential guides for interacting with the kernel's development
community and getting your work upstream.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
process/development-process
process/submitting-patches
Code of conduct <process/code-of-conduct>
maintainer/index
All development-process docs <process/index>
Internal API manuals
--------------------
Manuals for use by developers working to interface with the rest of the
kernel.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
core-api/index
driver-api/index
subsystem-apis
Locking in the kernel <locking/index>
Development tools and processes
-------------------------------
Various other manuals with useful information for all kernel developers.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
process/license-rules
doc-guide/index
dev-tools/index
dev-tools/testing-overview
kernel-hacking/index
trace/index
fault-injection/index
livepatch/index
User-oriented documentation
---------------------------
The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
trying to get it to work optimally on a given system and application
developers seeking information on the kernel's user-space APIs.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
admin-guide/index
The kernel build system <kbuild/index>
admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
User-space tools <tools/index>
userspace-api/index
See also: the `Linux man pages <https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/>`_,
which are kept separately from the kernel's own documentation.
Firmware-related documentation
------------------------------
The following holds information on the kernel's expectations regarding the
platform firmwares.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
firmware-guide/index
devicetree/index
Architecture-specific documentation
-----------------------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
arch
Other documentation
-------------------
There are several unsorted documents that don't seem to fit on other parts
of the documentation body, or may require some adjustments and/or conversion
to ReStructured Text format, or are simply too old.
