Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/

2018-09-09T21:08:58Z

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad Acked-by: "Paul E.

Documentation/cdrom: fix German sharp s in LaTex

2018-03-09T02:35:29Z

Apparently the LaTex abbreviation for the German "sharp s" (ß) (Unicode U+00DF) has changed from {\sz} to {\ss}. With {\sz}, I get this error at line 1016 (line number after another patch): ! Undefined control sequence. l.1016 ...nel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Ei{\sz }feldt, This is fixed by changing the {\sz} to {\ss}. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

2018-03-09T02:35:27Z

Documentation updates for Documentation/cdrom/cdrom-standard.tex: cdrom_device_ops: - add check_events() and generic_packet() cdrom_device_info: - add one 'const' modifier - correct some field descriptions - add some missing fields - drop 'kdev_t dev;' field Also drop sentence from documentation because it is not referenced anywhere in the kernel header or C files.

documentation: Update ide-cd documentation to reflect CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE removal

2017-10-12T17:25:31Z

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE was removed in commit 80aa31cb460d ("ide: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option (take 2)") but the ide-cd documentation was not updated and still asks users to disable it, which is misleading and involves a fruitless search.

cdrom: Make device operations read-only

2017-02-14T15:29:56Z

Since function tables are a common target for attackers, it's best to keep them in read-only memory. As such, this makes the CDROM device ops tables const. This drops additionally n_minors, since it isn't used meaningfully, and sets the only user of cdrom_dummy_generic_packet explicitly so the variables can all be const. Inspired by similar changes in grsecurity/PaX. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

doc: fix broken references

2011-09-27T16:08:04Z

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

Documentation: update broken web addresses.

2010-08-04T13:21:40Z

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.

ide: doc: remove compilation options section from ide-cd documentation

2009-12-14T04:41:53Z

This section pointed out to compilation options which no longer exist. VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS has been replace by config option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD_VERBOSE_ERRORS. STANDARD_ATAPI is no longer needed, since the non-standard drivers, which required bcd2bin are now detected, and there's a flag for them. NO_DOOR_LOCKING is now a sysctl parameter for cdrom drivers. CDROM_NBLOCKS_BUFFER is not used anymore. The READAUDIO is now in cdrom.c and it allocates as much as user space has requested to read, backing off if it fails. TEST is not there anymore or in cdrom either. ide allows to send ATA commands through ioctl, although it may be helpful to send MMC packets through the cdrom layer directly.

debugfs: Fix terminology inconsistency of dir name to mount debugfs filesystem.

2009-06-16T04:30:28Z

Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/" directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to ./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file. And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation, Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem. debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name of debugfs filesystem. - debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/ Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem. * From Steven Rostedt - find_debugfs() and tracing_files() in this patch.
