As we moved the real README file to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst,
let's add a replacement, pointing to it, and giving the main directions
about documentation.In the future, perhaps it would be worth to move the contents
of Documentation/00-Index into this README.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Adjust the readme file for it to use the ReST markup:
- add chapter/section markups;
- use ``foo`` for commands;
- use :: for verbatim and script blocks;
- replace unsupported markup _foo_ by **foo**;
- add cross-references to other ReST files;
- use lower case on the section titles, to match other ReST files.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Support for i386 was removed in v3.8, delete the paragraph that says
processor types above 386 won't work on that architecture. It's obsolete
information and potentially confusing. Also change a couple of
"arch/i386/" paths to one that exists now, using "arch/x86/" instead.Signed-off-by: Øyvind A. Holm

Someone (over a year ago :-p) asked me to document localmodconfig in the
README file in the source code. I thought it was a good idea but other
things were more important and I simply forgot about it. Well, I
stumbled on the email asking me about this and I'm sending it out now.Signed-off-by: Steven "Mr. Procrastinator" Rostedt

The text referred to `XX', when only a single `X' actually
existed, so this commit changes it to just `X'; a similar
change has been made for `xx'.Also, `N' was used when it would have been more consistent
to use `X' again, so this commit replaces `N' with `X'.This commit also chooses to leave `X' as the placeholder
for the current version of the source, and then makes `x'
the placeholder for any version number; fortunately nothing
really depends on this subtlety being understood.Because `x' is already being used when discussing version
numbers, this commit changes such filename references as
`xxx.rej' to `some-file-name.rej'.Signed-off-by: Michael Witten

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)The patch reverts these commits:
- 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set
config symbol from environment variable")
- 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
set 64BIT with all*config targets")Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bitThe general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the
value of CONFIG_64BIT.This is for example useful for powerpc to generate
allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this:
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=nTo use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

Mikael Pettersson pointed out to me that a recent patch of mine (commit
620034c84d1d939717bdfbe02c51a3fee43541c3), that made some corrections to the
README file, accidentally listed the Cris architecture twice. Whoops.This patch removes the duplicate.

- adds a few missing slashes at the end of URLs.
- adds a few references to additional documentation.
- adds "make config" to the list of possible configuration targets.
- makes a few other minor changes.Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl
