There have been persistent lockdep RCU splats, indicating that submitters
are not testing with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. Add this config option to the list
in Documentation/SubmitChecklist. Also add CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD
for good measure.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Add header file requirements. Compliments of Stephen Rothwell.
Stephen calls this Rule #1, so I put it there, but I didn't want to demote
any of the others in the list, so I made one of them number 2b.Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap

We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft
