Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
"A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates.
I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from
real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for
building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for
a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next,
and I did not receive any problem report about this.
Summary:
- add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice,
help is doubled
- document data structure and complex code
- fix various memory leaks
- change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
pre-generated C files
- drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'
- use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables
- fix gettext() check for xconfig
- announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed
- make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search
result
- hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people
- fix misc things and cleanups"

This guide is an adapted version of the more general "Protecting Code
Integrity" guide written and maintained by The Linux Foundation IT for
use with open-source projects. It provides the oft-lacking guidance on
the following topics:
- how to properly protect one's PGP keys to minimize the risks of them
being stolen and used maliciously to impersonate a kernel developer
- how to configure Git to properly use GnuPG
- when and how to use PGP with Git
- how to verify fellow Linux Kernel developer identities
I believe this document should live with the rest of the documentation
describing proper processes one should follow when participating in
kernel development. Placing it in a wiki on some place like kernel.org
would be insufficient for a number of reasons -- primarily, because only
a relatively small subset of maintainers have accounts on kernel.org,
but also because even those who do rarely remember that such wiki
exists. Keeping it with the rest of in-kernel docs should hopefully give
it more visibility, but also help keep it up-to-date as tools and
processes evolve.

In Linux build system convention, pre-generated files are version-
controlled with a "_shipped" suffix. During the kernel building,
they are simply shipped (copied) removing the suffix.
This approach can reduce external tool dependency for the kernel build,
but it is tedious to manually regenerate such artifacts from developers'
point of view. (We need to do "make REGENERATE_PARSERS=1" every time
we touch real source files such as *.l, *.y)
Some months ago, I sent out RFC patches to run flex, bison, and gperf
during the build.
In the review and test, Linus noticed gperf-3.1 had changed the lookup
function prototype. Then, the use of gperf in kernel was entirely
removed by commit bb3290d91695 ("Remove gperf usage from toolchain").
This time, I tested several versions of flex and bison, and I was not
hit by any compatibility issue except a flaw in flex-2.6.3; if you
generate lexer for dtc and genksyms with flex-2.6.3, you will see
"yywrap redefined" warning. This was not intentional, but a bug,
fixed by flex-2.6.4. Otherwise, both flex and bison look fairly
stable for a long time.
This commit prepares some build rules to remove the _shipped files.
Also, document minimal requirement for flex and bison.
Rationale for the minimal version:
The -Wmissing-prototypes option of GCC warns "no previous prototype"
for lexers generated by flex-2.5.34 or older, so I chose 2.5.35 as the
required version for flex. Flex-2.5.35 was released in 2008. Bison
looks more stable. I did not see any problem with bison-2.0, released
in 2004. I did not test bison-1.x, but bison-2.0 should be old enough.
Tested flex versions:
2.5.35
2.5.36
2.5.37
2.5.39
2.6.0
2.6.1
2.6.2
2.6.3 (*)
2.6.4
(*) flex-2.6.3 causes "yywrap redefined" warning

authors
Sometimes a single patch is the result of multiple authors. As git only
can have one "author" of a patch, it is still good to properly give
credit to the other developers of a commit. To address this, document
the "Co-Developed-by:" tag which can be used to show other authors of
the patch.
Note, these other authors must also provide a Signed-off-by: tag as it
is their work that is being submitted here.

"A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.
- The old driver statement has been added to the kernel docs.
- We have a couple of new helper scripts. find-unused-docs.sh from
Sayli Karnic will point out kerneldoc comments that are not actually
used in the documentation. Jani Nikula's
documentation-file-ref-check finds references to non-existing files.
- A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.
- Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST
Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.
This set reaches outside of Documentation/ a bit more than most. In
all cases, the changes are to comment docs, mostly from Randy, in
places where there didn't seem to be anybody better to take them"

Way back in 2008 we didn't have "robust" in-kernel documentation system,
so the idea of putting something like the kernel driver statement in the
kernel tree wasn't even imagined. But now that has changed, so add the
old document to the kernel source itself to allow for us to properly
reference it in one canonical place (as the LF wiki keeps moving things
around.)
This also will allow people to add their names to it, as I seem to have
lost the ability to do that by not knowing how to edit things on the
original document.

There shouldn't be a blank line at the beginning, if there is no
optional in-body "From" line. There must be a blank line between
the body of the explanation and the beginning of the S-o-b lines.

Drop all references to git daily snapshots of Linux mainline git tree
since they are no longer generated.
Drop the "Last update" info since 'git log' is a better source of that
info and since the Last update date is not being updated.
Yes, I read that this file is obsolete, but it still has some useful
information in it.

git.kernel.org links don't work (fatal: repository ... not found).
Update them with the current style from https://git.kernel.org
There is no HTTP option, so also switch HTTP -> HTTPS.

The toolchain used by Sphinx is somewhat complex, and installing
it should be part of the doc-guide.
Move it out of changes.rst.

Pull Kbuild thin archives updates from Masahiro Yamada:
"Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin.
THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature
only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different
intermediate-artifact schemes.
Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has
various advantages:
- save disk space for builds
- speed-up building a little
- fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to more
flexibility for the final linking
- work better with dead code elimination we are planning
As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally so
that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect".
With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually
showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now"
* tag 'kbuild-thinar-v4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
tile: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile
kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs
x86/um: thin archives build fix
tile: thin archives fix linking
ia64: thin archives fix linking
sh: thin archives fix linking
kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archives
kbuild: thin archives use P option to ar
kbuild: thin archives final link close --whole-archives option
ia64: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile.gate
tile: fix dependency and .*.cmd inclusion for incremental build
sparc64: Use indirect calls in hamming weight stubs

Make thin archives build the default, but keep the config option
to allow exemptions if any breakage can't be quickly solved.

IBM Verse is a web UI around Lotus Domino mail servers (much like
the Lotus Notes client talks to Domino servers).
For various reasons, it is not at all suitable for kernel development,
all of which have been raised (repeatedly) internally.
