The default way of building documentation is to use
Sphinx toolchain installed via pip, inside the
Kernel tree main directory. That's what's recommended by:scripts/sphinx-pre-install
As it usually provides a better version of this package
than the one installed, specially on LTS distros.So, add the directories created by running the commands
suggested by the script.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

This prevents the chapter headings from showing up in the table of
contents in filesystems/index.html.Note that I didn't pick "UBIFS Authentication" as the document title,
because there is a chapter of the same name, and Sphinx complains about
multiple headings with the same name:/.../Documentation/filesystems/ubifs-authentication.rst:207:

Git is fairly ubiquitous these days, and the additional information in
this documentation for preparing patches without it is not especially
relevant anymore and may serve to confuse new contributors.The git request-pull comments were also removed, given that it is not a
tool well-suited to novice contributors, nor do maintainers especially
appreciate receiving unexpected request-pulls from new contributors.Signed-off-by: Drew DeVault

In order to cross-reference C types in the documentation, Sphinx
requires the syntax :c:type:`type_name`, or even :c:type:`struct
type_name ` in order to have the link text different from the
target text.Extend automarkup to enable automatic cross-reference of C types by
matching any "struct|union|enum|typedef type_name" expression.
This makes the documentation's plain text cleaner and adds
cross-reference to types without any additional effort by the author.Signed-off-by: Nícolas F. R. A. Prado

Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license
choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances
did not always advance the aims of the submitters.But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses)
a bit confused. They have read things like
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says:individual source files can have a different license
which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst:
We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing,
and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under
multiple licenses.As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in
practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make
a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does
not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply
GPLv2-compatible.Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix
the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations.Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen

Based on a vote at the LLVM BoF at Plumbers 2020, we decided to start
small, supporting just one formal upstream release of LLVM for now.We can probably widen the support window of supported versions over
time. Also, note that LLVM's release process is different than GCC's.
GCC tends to have 1 major release per year while releasing minor updates
to the past 3 major versions. LLVM tends to support one major release
and one minor release every six months.Signed-off-by: Nick Desaulniers
