2011-12-12Documentation: Update stable addressJoe Perches1-4/+4
The Japanese/Korean/Chinese versions still need updating. Also, the stable kernel 2.6.x.y descriptions are out of date and should be updated as well. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <[email protected]> Cc: stable <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <[email protected]>
2011-06-23sched: Generalize sleep inside spinlock detectionFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
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 reflect its more general role. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> Acked-by: Paul E.

2010-11-18Documentation/development-process: use -next trees instead of stagingAndres Salomon1-4/+4
This is confusing, as we have "staging" trees for drivers/staging. Call them -next trees. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <[email protected]> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock1-1/+1
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became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.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. Signed-off-by: Justin P.
