  • There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
    Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
    caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
    Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

    Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
    they were part of.

  • Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
    updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
    Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
    the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
    Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
    on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
    to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

  • This section pointed out to compilation options which no longer exist.

    VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS has been replace by config option
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD_VERBOSE_ERRORS.

    STANDARD_ATAPI is no longer needed, since the non-standard drivers, which
    required bcd2bin are now detected, and there's a flag for them.

    NO_DOOR_LOCKING is now a sysctl parameter for cdrom drivers.

    CDROM_NBLOCKS_BUFFER is not used anymore. The READAUDIO is now in cdrom.c and it
    allocates as much as user space has requested to read, backing off if it fails.

    TEST is not there anymore or in cdrom either. ide allows to send ATA commands
    through ioctl, although it may be helpful to send MMC packets through the cdrom
    layer directly.

  • Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
    directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
    ./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.

    And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
    existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
    Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.

    debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah
    hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name
    of debugfs filesystem.
    - debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/

    Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem.

    * From Steven Rostedt
    - find_debugfs() and tracing_files() in this patch.

  • * Convert files to UTF-8.

    * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

    * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)

    * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
