A few of the Documentation .rst files begin with a Unicode
byte order mark (BOM). The BOM may signify endianess for
16-bit or 32-bit encodings or indicate that the text stream
is indeed Unicode. We don't need it for either of those uses.
It may also interfere with (confuse) some software.Since we don't need it and its use is optional, just delete
the uses of it in Documentation/.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark

First, it is never checked. Second, use of it as a debugging aid is
at least questionable. With the current tools, I don't think anyone used
this kind of thing for debugging purposes for years.On the top of that, e.g. serdev does not set this field of tty_ldisc_ops
at all.So get rid of this legacy.

While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol
does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still
manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by
out-of-tree drivers.Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently
unmaintained. Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only
whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much
more care, so drop it for now. If someone steps up to reintroduce it,
they need to clean it up first.Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

You should use KCFLAGS to pass additional compiler flags from the
command line. Using EXTRA_CFLAGS is wrong.EXTRA_CFLAGS is supposed to specify flags applied only to the current
Makefile (and now deprecated in favor of ccflags-y).It is still used in arch/mips/kvm/Makefile (and possibly in external
modules too). Passing EXTRA_CFLAGS from the command line overwrites
it and breaks the build.I also fixed drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/Makefile because commit 816175dd1fd7
("drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc: Makefile, only -Werror when no -W* in
EXTRA_CFLAGS") was based on the same misunderstanding.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

The gdth driver refers to a SCSI parallel, PCI-only HBA RAID adapter which
was manufactured by the now-defunct ICP Vortex company, later acquired by
Adaptec and superseded by the aacraid series of controllers. The driver
itself would require a major overhaul before any modifications can be
attempted, but seeing that it's unlikely to have any users left it should
rather be removed completely.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210113090500.129644-2-hare@suse.de

The file Documentation/process/howto.rst points to bugzilla.kernel.org
as the primary place to report kernel bugs to. For most of the kernel
that's the wrong place, as the MAINTAINERS file shows. Adjust those
sections to make them match current practice.This change also removes a contradiction with the recently added text
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst, which is a reason for a
'this needs further discussion' warning note in there. The change is
thus a prerequisite to remove that warning, nevertheless it is left for

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A much quieter cycle for documentation (happily), with, one hopes, the
bulk of the churn behind us. Significant stuff in this pull includes:- A set of new Chinese translations
- Italian translation updates
- A mechanism from Mauro to automatically format
Documentation/features for the built docs- Automatic cross references without explicit :ref: markup
- A new reset-controller document
- An extensive new document on reporting problems from Thorsten
That last patch also adds the CC-BY-4.0 license to LICENSES/dual;
there was some discussion on this, but we seem to have consensus and
an ack from Greg for that addition"* tag 'docs-5.11' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (50 commits)

Make various places which point to
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst point to
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst instead. That document is
brand new and as of now is not completely finished. But even at this
stage it's a lot more helpful and accurate than reporting-bugs.rst.
Hence also add a note to reporting-bugs.rst, telling people they're
better off reading reporting-issues.rst instead.reporting-bugs.rst is scheduled for removal once reporting-issues.rst
is considered ready.Signed-off-by: Thorsten Leemhuis

Currently, we do not have any documentation on commit reverts regarding
the requirement of Signed-off-by tag for it. This may be misleading to
the users.Evaluating MISSING_SIGN_OFF checkpatch warnings on v4.13..v5.8 showed
that 4 out of 11 cases missing a sign-off are revert commits.Add documentation regarding the same to document the community
consensus and let readers know.Signed-off-by: Aditya Srivastava

Move to the kernel.org patchwork instance, it has significantly
lower latency for accessing from Europe and the US. Other quirks
