docs: netdev: convert to a non-FAQ document

2022-12-28T10:06:06Z

The netdev-FAQ document has grown over the years to the point where finding information in it is somewhat challenging. The length of the questions prevents readers from locating content that's relevant at a glance. Convert to a more standard documentation format with sections and sub-sections rather than questions and answers. The content edits are limited to what's necessary to change the format, and very minor clarifications.

docs: netdev: reshuffle sections in prep for de-FAQization

2022-12-28T10:06:06Z

Subsequent changes will reformat the doc away from FAQ. To make that more readable perform the pure section moves now. Reviewed-by: Randy Dunlap Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25

2022-12-13T13:21:14Z

Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old. We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015. Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months before GCC 5.1. With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This was a not-too-busy cycle for documentation; highlights include: - The beginnings of a set of translations into Spanish, headed up by Carlos Bilbao - More Chinese translations - A change to the Sphinx "alabaster" theme by default for HTML generation. Unlike the previous default (Read the Docs), alabaster is shipped with Sphinx by default, reducing the number of other dependencies that need to be installed. It also (IMO) produces a cleaner and more readable result. - The ability to render the documentation into the texinfo format (something Sphinx could always do, we just never wired it up until now) Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, build-warning fixes, and minor updates" * tag 'docs-6.2' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (67 commits) Documentation/features: Use loongarch instead of loong Documentation/features-refresh.sh: Only sed the beginning "arch" of ARCH_DIR docs/zh_CN: Fix '.. only::' directive's expression docs/sp_SP: Add memory-barriers.txt Spanish translation docs/zh_CN/LoongArch: Update links of LoongArch ISA Vol1 and ELF psABI docs/LoongArch: Update links of LoongArch ISA Vol1 and ELF psABI Documentation/features: Update feature lists for 6.1 Documentation: Fixed a typo in bootconfig.rst docs/sp_SP: Add process coding-style translation docs/sp_SP: Add kernel-docs.rst Spanish translation docs: Create translations/sp_SP/process/, move submitting-patches.rst docs: Add book to process/kernel-docs.rst docs: Retire old resources from kernel-docs.rst docs: Update maintainer of kernel-docs.rst Documentation: riscv: Document the sv57 VM layout Documentation: USB: correct possessive "its" usage math64: fix kernel-doc return value warnings math64: add kernel-doc for DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP math64: favor kernel-doc from header files doc: add texinfodocs and infodocs targets ...
