2016-11-28Documentation/process/howto: Only send regression fixes after -rc1Dan Carpenter
The original text was not clear if white space or other harmless patches should be merged in -rc kernels. The discussion at Kernel Summit said that we should be more strict about sending regression fixes only.

2016-11-19docs-rst: doc-guide: split the kernel-documentation.rst contentsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2016-11-16kernel-doc: add support for one line inline struct member doc commentsJani Nikula
kernel-doc supports documenting struct members "inline" since a4c6ebede2f9 ("scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation in struct body"). This requires the inline kernel-doc comments to have the opening and closing comment markers (/** and */ respectively) on lines of their own, even for short comments. For example: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** * @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Add support for one line inline comments: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Note that mixing of the two in one doc comment is not allowed; either both comment markers must be on lines of their own, or both must be on the one line. This limitation keeps both the comments more uniform, and kernel-doc less complicated.

While the {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() macros should be used in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), the circular buffer documentation uses the latter exclusively.

2016-11-16Merge branch 'mauro-pdf' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet
Mauro says: This series address a series of errors during PDF generation from media documentation. The first patch fixes the late redefinition of a LaTeX command at the Sphinx LaTeX style that causes build to break when some cross-references are used. The next two patches fix PDF output issues with subdev-formats.rst. The next 3 patches fix image includes and their output for PDF. It is aligned with Linus request of not having binary-generated images from their SVG source codes. I still intend to move the remaing PNG images to vectorial ones (SVG), as image scale works better, but this will require some additional work. When done, I'll submit as a separate patch series. It should also be noticed that the last patch violates the output dir, when make is used with "O=some_dir", as Sphinx doesn't accept image files outside the source directory. We'll likely need some Sphinx extension in order to fix it, but at least with this series (plus Jani Nikola's PDF fix series), the PDF output should work fine again. [jc: added a commit fixing up a "make cleandocs" warning]

2016-11-16docs-rst: auto-generate PDF image filesMauro Carvalho Chehab
The PDF files that contain media images were actually generated offline from their SVG or PNG source files. Sphinx can handle PNG sources automatially. So, let's just drop their PDF counterparts. For SVG, however, Sphinx doesn't produce the right tags to use the TexLive SVG support. Also, the SVG support is done via shell execution, with is not nice. So, while we don't have any support for SVG inside Sphinx core or as an extension, move the logic to build them to Makefile, producing the PDF images on runtime. NOTE: due to the way Sphinx works, the PDF images should be generated inside the Kernel source tree, as otherwise Sphinx won't find it, not obeying what's specified by "O=" makefile parameter.

2016-11-16docs-rst: convert gif files to pngMauro Carvalho Chehab
Right now, media is using two different formats for bitmap images: GIF and PNG. Let's use just one, to make it simpler when building with Sphinx. As PNG is usually better than GIF, let's use it.

2016-11-16docs-rst: fix LaTeX \DURole renewcommand with Sphinx 1.3+Mauro Carvalho Chehab
PDF build on Kernel 4.9-rc? returns an error with Sphinx 1.3.x and Sphinx 1.4.x, when trying to solve some cross-references. The solution is to redefine the \DURole macro. However, this is redefined too late. Move such redefinition to LaTeX preamble and bind it to just the Sphinx versions where the error is known to be present.
