2023-04-23media: Fix building pdfdocsTomi Valkeinen1-3/+0
Commit 8d0e3fc61abd ("media: Add 2-10-10-10 RGB formats") added documentation for a few new RGB formats. The table has column-width specifiers for 34 columns used in pdfdocs build. However, the new table has a couple of rows with 35 columns which confused Sphinx's latex builder. The resulting .tex file causes an error in a later stage of a pdfdocs build.

The "Select the recipients for your patch" part about CC-ing mailing lists is a bit vague and might be understood that only some lists should be Cc-ed. That's not what most of the maintainers expect.

2023-04-20docs: turn off "smart quotes" in the HTML buildJonathan Corbet1-3/+4
We have long disabled the "html_use_smartypants" option to prevent Sphinx from mangling "--" sequences (among others). Unfortunately, Sphinx changed that option to "smartquotes" in the 1.6.6 release, and seemingly didn't see fit to warn about the use of the obsolete option, resulting in the aforementioned mangling returning. Disable this behavior again and hope that the option name stays stable for a while.

2023-04-10Documentation: Add document for false sharingFeng Tang2-0/+207
When doing performance tuning or debugging performance regressions, more and more cases are found to be related to false sharing [1][2][3], and the situation can be worse for newer platforms with hundreds of CPUs. There are already many commits in current kernel specially for mitigating the performance degradation due to false sharing. False sharing could harm the performance silently without being noticed, due to reasons like: * data members of a big data structure randomly sitting together in one cache line * global data of small size are linked compactly together So it's better to make a simple document about the normal pattern of false sharing, basic ways to mitigate it and call out to developers to pay attention during code-writing.

2023-03-23docs: describe how to quickly build a trimmed kernelThorsten Leemhuis3-0/+1094
Add a text explaining how to quickly build a kernel, as that's something users will often have to do when they want to report an issue or test proposed fixes. This is a huge and frightening task for quite a few users these days, as many rely on pre-compiled kernels and have never built their own. They find help on quite a few websites explaining the process in various ways, but those howtos often omit important details or make things too hard for the 'quickly build just for testing' case that 'localmodconfig' is really useful for. Hence give users something at hand to guide them, as that makes it easier for them to help with testing, debugging, and fixing the kernel. To keep the complexity at bay, the document explicitly focuses on how to compile the kernel on commodity distributions running on commodity hardware. People that deal with less common distributions or hardware will often know their way around already anyway. The text describes a few oddities of Arch and Debian that were found by the author and a few volunteers that tested the described procedure. There are likely more such quirks that need to be covered as well as a few things the author will have missed -- but one has to start somewhere. The document heavily uses anchors and links to them, which makes things slightly harder to read in the source form. But the intended target audience is way more likely to read rendered versions of this text on pages like docs.kernel.org anyway -- and there those anchors and links allow easy jumps to the reference section and back, which makes the document a lot easier to work with for the intended target audience. Aspects relevant for bisection were left out on purpose, as that is a related, but in the end different use case. The rough plan is to have a second document with a similar style to cover bisection. The idea is to reuse a few bits from this document and link quite often to entries in the reference section with the help of the anchors in this text.

As a follow-up to a discussion at the 2021 Maintainer's Summit on the topic of maintainer recruitment and retention, the TAB took on the task of creating a document which to help companies and other organizations to grow in their ability to engage with the Linux Kernel development community, using the Maturity Model[2] framework. The goal is to encourage, in a management-friendly way, companies to allow their engineers to contribute with the upstream Linux Kernel development community, so we can grow the "talent pipeline" for contributors to become respected leaders, and eventually kernel maintainers.
