2013-08-19rcu: Update RTFP documentationPaul E. McKenney
Note that this commit also updates the formatting of serveral of the bibtex entries to conform to that of my .bib files. I started accumulating entries back in the 1980s, back when bibtex insisted that comma (",") was a separator, not a terminator. This rule forced commas to the fronts of lines. 25 years later, bibtex allows commas to be terminators, but I am too lazy to rework all my .bib files. Keeping the same format as my .bib files allows my to simply incorporate my RCU.bib file into Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt, which is much easier than my earlier practice of keeping track of what had changed and adding individual entries. (I sometimes find relevant papers that were published some years back, for example.) In addition, this change adds entries for papers published in the last year or so. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
