  • The patch updates the documentation for /proc. super-nr and super-max have
    been dropped from the kernel since 2.4.9 due to minor numbering issues.
    This change was not documented in the documentation.

  • With the custom stylesheet, functions are rendered using ANSI-C syntax and
    xmlto is a bit quieter.

  • xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and
    XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than
    using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of
    kernel-specific scripts that are needed to generate documentation.

    out of date and should be deleted.

  • I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
    university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
    sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
    have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
    time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
    compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
    some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
    So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
    not too much skewed.

    I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
    by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
    comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
    not bail out on errors. Changed to @pid in the description, moved some
    #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

    You can see result of the modified documentation build at
    http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

    Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
    documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
    section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
    cleanup work.

  • Update the RCU documentation to allow for the new synchronize_rcu() and
    synchronize_sched() primitives. Fix a few other nits as well.

  • The gpl exports need to be put back. Moving them to GPL -- but in a
    measured manner, as I proposed on this list some months ago -- is fine.
    Changing these particular exports precipitously is most definitely -not-
    fine. Here is my earlier proposal:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110520930301813&w=2

    See below for a patch that puts the exports back, along with an updated
    version of my earlier patch that starts the process of moving them to GPL.
    I will also be following this message with RFC patches that introduce two
    (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) interfaces to replace synchronize_kernel(), which then
    becomes deprecated.

  • The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
    the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
    With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
    reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.

    The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
    As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
    on bootloader-setup code interface.

    Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.

    Tested on:
    * grub booting bzImage
    * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
    * pxeboot of bzImage

    Side-effect:
    bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
    on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.
