Documentation: change linux-4.x references to 5.x

2019-02-17T22:41:05+00:00

As linux-5.0.x is coming up soon, the documentation should match, in particular the README.rst file, so change all 4.x references accordingly. There was a mix of lowercase and uppercase X here, which I changed to using lowercase consistently. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Documentation/process/coding-style.rst: don't use "extern" with function prototypes

2019-01-04T21:13:45+00:00

`extern' with function prototypes makes lines longer and creates more characters on the screen. Do not bug people with checkpatch.pl warnings for now as fallout can be devastating.

doc:process: add links where missing

2018-12-06T17:21:19+00:00

Some documents are refering to others without links. With this patch I add those missing links. This patch affects only documents under process/ and labels where necessary. Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

doc:it_IT: add some process/* translations

2018-11-20T16:11:12+00:00

This patch does not translate entirely the subfolder "process/" but only part of it (to begin with). In order to avoid broken links, I included empty documents for those which are not yet translated. In order to be able to refer to all documents in "process/", I added a sphinx label to those which had not one. Translated documents: - howto - 1.Intro - clang-format - coding-style - kernel-driver-statement - magic-number - volatile-considered-harmful - development-process Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga Signed-off-by: Alessia Mantegazza Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Pull compiler attribute updates from Miguel Ojeda: "This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers and bring them up to date. The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros (i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g. GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared, reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic. Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well, which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now only guarding a few non-attribute macros). This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now more readable, which should help kernel developers in general. The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize __has_attribute on its own. Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for unreachable() that came a bit afterwards" * tag 'compiler-attributes-for-linus-4.20-rc1' of https://github.com/ojeda/linux: compiler-gcc: remove comment about gcc 4.5 from unreachable() compiler.h: update definition of unreachable() Compiler Attributes: ext4: remove local __nonstring definition Compiler Attributes: auxdisplay: panel: use __nonstring Compiler Attributes: enable -Wstringop-truncation on W=1 (gcc >= 8) Compiler Attributes: add support for __nonstring (gcc >= 8) Compiler Attributes: add MAINTAINERS entry Compiler Attributes: add Doc/process/programming-language.rst Compiler Attributes: remove uses of __attribute__ from compiler.h Compiler Attributes: KENTRY used twice the "used" attribute Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead of version checks Compiler Attributes: add missing SPDX ID in compiler_types.h Compiler Attributes: remove unneeded sparse (__CHECKER__) tests Compiler Attributes: homogenize __must_be_array Compiler Attributes: remove unneeded tests Compiler Attributes: always use the extra-underscores syntax Compiler Attributes: remove unused attributes

Code of Conduct: Change the contact email address

2018-10-22T06:33:36+00:00

The contact point for the kernel's Code of Conduct should now be the Code of Conduct Committee, not the full TAB. Change the email address in the file to properly reflect this.
