2019-07-15T14:03:02+00:00

docs: watchdog: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:32:05+00:00

Convert those documents and prepare them to be part of the kernel API book, as most of the stuff there are related to the Kernel interfaces. Still, in the future, it would make sense to split the docs, as some of the stuff is clearly focused on sysadmin tasks. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

doc: Update removal of RCU-bh/sched update machinery

2018-08-30T17:59:48+00:00

The RCU-bh update API is now defined in terms of that of RCU-bh and RCU-sched, so this commit updates the documentation accordingly. In addition, although RCU-sched persists in !PREEMPT kernels, in the PREEMPT case its update API is now defined in terms of that of RCU-preempt, so this commit also updates the documentation accordingly. While in the area, this commit removes the documentation for the now-obsolete synchronize_rcu_mult() and clarifies the Tasks RCU documentation. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

kernel-per-CPU-kthreads.txt: standardize document format

2017-07-14T19:51:43+00:00

Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - Use title markups; - use "-" for bulletted lists; - Split Name/Purpose on two lines, in order to make visually easier to read (in text format), and to bold the title (on ReST output) - Add blank lines to split bulleted lists; - use sub-titles for the several kthread softirq types; - mark one literal var with asterisk as such, in order to avoid an error warning on Sphinx.

rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options

2017-06-09T01:52:43+00:00

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts to use the boot parameter instead. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

2016-10-24T10:12:35+00:00
