* docs: futex: Fix kernel-doc references after code split-up preparationSalvatore Bonaccorso2023-04-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In upstream commit 77e52ae35463 ("futex: Move to kernel/futex/") the futex code from kernel/futex.c was moved into kernel/futex/core.c in preparation of the split-up of the implementation in various files. Point kernel-doc references to the new files as otherwise the documentation shows errors on build: [...] Error: Cannot open file ./kernel/futex.c Error: Cannot open file ./kernel/futex.c [...] WARNING: kernel-doc './scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno -sphinx-version 3.4.3 -internal ./kernel/futex.c' failed with return code 2 There is no direct upstream commit for this change. It is made in analogy to commit bc67f1c454fb ("docs: futex: Fix kernel-doc references") applied as consequence of the restructuring of the futex code.

* docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate textAlyssa Rosenzweig2021-09-031-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove inappropriate sexual (and ableist) text from the locking documentation, aligning it with the kernel code-of-conduct. As the text was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and improves readability.

* docs: Fix reST markup when linking to sectionsNícolas F. R. A. Prado2020-12-311-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the process of converting the documentation to reST, some links were converted using the following wrong syntax (and sometimes using %20 instead of spaces): `Display text <#section-name-in-html>`__ This syntax isn't valid according to the docutils' spec [1], but more importantly, it is specific to HTML, since it uses '#' to link to an HTML anchor. The right syntax would instead use a docutils hyperlink reference as the embedded URI to point to the section [2], that is: `Display text <Section Name_>`__ This syntax works in both HTML and PDF. The LaTeX toolchain doesn't mind the HTML anchor syntax when generating the pdf documentation (make pdfdocs), that is, the build succeeds but the links don't work, but that syntax causes errors when trying to build using the not-yet-merged rst2pdf: ValueError: format not resolved, probably missing URL scheme or undefined destination target for 'Forcing%20Quiescent%20States' So, use the correct syntax in order to have it work in all different output formats.

* docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabelMauro Carvalho Chehab2020-03-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the kernel development book where it belongs. Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly parse the text file, as they're already in good shape, not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents there are written at different times: some use markdown, some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.
