Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Mat Martineau says: ==================== mptcp: convert Netlink code to use YAML spec This series from Davide converts most of the MPTCP Netlink interface (plus uAPI bits) to use sources generated by YNL using a YAML spec file. This new YAML file is useful to validate the API and to generate a good documentation page. Patch 1 modifies YNL spec to support "uns-admin-perm" for genetlink legacy. Patch 2 adds support for validating exact length of netlink attrs. Patch 3 converts Netlink structures from small_ops to ops to prepare the switch to YAML. Patch 4 adds the Netlink YAML spec for MPTCP. Patch 5 adds and uses a new header file generated from the new YAML spec. Patch 6 renames some handlers to match the ones generated from the YAML spec. Patch 7 adds and uses Netlink policies automatically generated from the YAML spec. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231023-send-net-next-20231023-1-v2-0-16b1f701f900@kernel.org Signed-off-by:Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
