2020-02-05Allow git builds of Sphinxdocs-5.6-2Stephen Kitt
When using a non-release version of Sphinx, from a local build (with improvements for kernel doc handling, why not), sphinx-build --version reports versions of the form sphinx-build 3.0.0+/4703d9119972 i.e. base version, a plus symbol, slash, and the start of the git hash of whatever repository the command is run in (no, not the hash that was used to build Sphinx!). This patch fixes the installation check in sphinx-pre-install to recognise such version output.

2020-01-27scripts/find-unused-docs: Fix massive false positivesGeert Uytterhoeven
scripts/find-unused-docs.sh invokes scripts/kernel-doc to find out if a source file contains kerneldoc or not. However, as it passes the no longer supported "-text" option to scripts/kernel-doc, the latter prints out its help text, causing all files to be considered containing kerneldoc. Get rid of these false positives by removing the no longer supported "-text" option from the scripts/kernel-doc invocation.

2020-01-24docs: Keep up with the location of NoUriJonathan Corbet
Sphinx 2.1 moved sphinx.environment.NoUri into sphinx.errors; that produced this warning in the docs build: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/registry.py:473: RemovedInSphinx30Warning: sphinx.environment.NoUri is deprecated. Grab NoUri from the right place and make the warning go away. That symbol was only added to sphinx.errors in 2.1, so we must still import it from the old location when running in older versions.

2019-12-19Process: provide hardware-security list detailsKonstantin Ryabitsev
Fill in "..." stubs with proper links to the mailing lists's encryption keys and service description URLs. Similarly, fix wording to specify that multiple members of Linux Foundation's IT team have access to internal kernel.org infrastructure, and that all of them have similar confidentiality obligations as the IT team director.

Clarify a few places where the ring buffer and the "snapshot" buffer are cleared as a side effect of an operation. This will avoid users lost of tracing data because of these so far undocumented behavior. Signed-off-by: Frank A.

Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford: "A small collection of -rc fixes. Mostly. One API addition, but that's because we wanted to use it in a fix. There's also a bug fix that is going to render the 5.5 kernel's soft-RoCE driver incompatible with all soft-RoCE versions prior, but it's required to actually implement the protocol according to the RoCE spec and required in order for the soft-RoCE driver to be able to successfully work with actual RoCE hardware. Summary: - Update Steve Wise info - Fix for soft-RoCE crc calculations (will break back compatibility, but only with the soft-RoCE driver, which has had this bug since it was introduced and it is an on-the-wire bug, but will make soft-RoCE fully compatible with real RoCE hardware) - cma init fixup - counters oops fix - fix for mlx4 init/teardown sequence - fix for mkx5 steering rules - introduce a cleanup API, which isn't a fix, but we want to use it in the next fix - fix for mlx5 memory management that uses API in previous patch" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma: IB/mlx5: Fix device memory flows IB/core: Introduce rdma_user_mmap_entry_insert_range() API IB/mlx5: Fix steering rule of drop and count IB/mlx4: Follow mirror sequence of device add during device removal RDMA/counter: Prevent auto-binding a QP which are not tracked with res rxe: correctly calculate iCRC for unaligned payloads Update mailmap info for Steve Wise RDMA/cma: add missed unregister_pernet_subsys in init failure
