The default way of building documentation is to use Sphinx toolchain installed via pip, inside the Kernel tree main directory. That's what's recommended by: scripts/sphinx-pre-install As it usually provides a better version of this package than the one installed, specially on LTS distros. So, add the directories created by running the commands suggested by the script. Signed-off-by:

This prevents the chapter headings from showing up in the table of contents in filesystems/index.html. Note that I didn't pick "UBIFS Authentication" as the document title, because there is a chapter of the same name, and Sphinx complains about multiple headings with the same name: /.../Documentation/filesystems/ubifs-authentication.rst:207: WARNING: duplicate label filesystems/ubifs-authentication:ubifs authentication, other instance in /.../Documentation/filesystems/ubifs-authentication.rst Remove the :orphan: tag, as the document has been included into the toctree.

Git is fairly ubiquitous these days, and the additional information in this documentation for preparing patches without it is not especially relevant anymore and may serve to confuse new contributors. The git request-pull comments were also removed, given that it is not a tool well-suited to novice contributors, nor do maintainers especially appreciate receiving unexpected request-pulls from new contributors.

In order to cross-reference C types in the documentation, Sphinx requires the syntax :c:type:`type_name`, or even :c:type:`struct type_name <type_name>` in order to have the link text different from the target text. Extend automarkup to enable automatic cross-reference of C types by matching any "struct|union|enum|typedef type_name" expression. This makes the documentation's plain text cleaner and adds cross-reference to types without any additional effort by the author. Signed-off-by:

Dave Hansen authored
Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances did not always advance the aims of the submitters. But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses) a bit confused. They have read things like Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says: individual source files can have a different license which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0 and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst: We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing, and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under multiple licenses. As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply GPLv2-compatible. Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations. Signed-off-by:

Based on a vote at the LLVM BoF at Plumbers 2020, we decided to start small, supporting just one formal upstream release of LLVM for now. We can probably widen the support window of supported versions over time. Also, note that LLVM's release process is different than GCC's. GCC tends to have 1 major release per year while releasing minor updates to the past 3 major versions. LLVM tends to support one major release and one minor release every six months. Signed-off-by:
