- use ``foo`` to markup inline literal stuff, effectively making it
to be presented as a monospaced font when parsed by Sphinx;- the markup below the title should have the same length as the
title;- Fix the list markups, from "1:" to "1)";
- Split item 2 into a separate list for the build options, in order
to be presented as a list on Sphinx;Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Task 11 (kernel-doc) still mentions usage of make manpages, but
this won't work if the API is documented via Sphinx. So, update
it to use either htmldocs or pdfdocs, with are the documentation
targets that work for all.While here, add ReST reference to the kernel documentation book.

Ever since commit 45f035ab9b8f ("CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on"),
it has been basically impossible to build a kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG

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

The sleeping inside spinlock detection is actually used
for more general sleeping inside atomic sections
debugging: preemption disabled, rcu read side critical
sections, interrupts, interrupt disabled, etc...Change the name of the config and its help section to

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

- allow update of existing [def]configs for "default y" change
- reflect that it is used also for large files support nowadaysSigned-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

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
