  • Remove comments about function short descriptions not allowed to be on
    multiple lines (that was fixed/changed recently).

    Add comments that function "section header:" names need to be unique per
    function/struct/union/typedef/enum.

  • Allow the short description after symbol name and dash in a kernel-doc
    comment to span multiple lines, e.g. like this:

    /**
    * unmap_mapping_range - unmap the portion of all mmaps in the
    * specified address_space corresponding to the specified
    * page range in the underlying file.
    * @mapping: the address space containing mmaps to be unmapped.
    * ...
    */

    The short description ends with a parameter description, an empty line
    or the end of the comment block.

  • scripts/kernel-doc can (incorrectly) delete struct members that are
    surrounded by /* ... */ /* ... */ if there is a /*
    private: */ comment in there somewhere also.

    Fix that by making the "/* private:" only allow whitespace between /* and
    "private:", not anything/everything in the world.

    This fixes some erroneous kernel-doc warnings that popped up while
    processing include/linux/usb/composite.h.

  • Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
    to kernel hackers.

    Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
    kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
    rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
    documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
    documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
    here:

    How to format kernel-doc comments

    the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.

    This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
    usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
    portions of the kernel.

  • Correct a few comments in kernel-doc Doc and source files.

    (akpm: note: the patch removes a non-ascii character and might have to be
    applied by hand..)

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
