[PATCH] Update Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt and Documentation/sysctls


Now /proc/sys is described in many places and many informations are
redundant. This patch updates the proc.txt and move the /proc/sys
desciption out to the files in Documentation/sysctls.

Details are:

merge
-  2.1  /proc/sys/fs - File system data
-  2.11 /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
-  2.17 /proc/sys/fs/epoll - Configuration options for the epoll interface
with Documentation/sysctls/fs.txt.

remove
-  2.2  /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc - Miscellaneous binary formats
since it's not better then the Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt.

merge
-  2.3  /proc/sys/kernel - general kernel parameters
with Documentation/sysctls/kernel.txt

remove
-  2.5  /proc/sys/dev - Device specific parameters
since it's obsolete the sysfs is used now.

remove
-  2.6  /proc/sys/sunrpc - Remote procedure calls
since it's not better then the Documentation/sysctls/sunrpc.txt

move

[PATCH] Doc: hrtimers.txt was moved a long time ago, update reference.

In 3833eecc183ce052e9ac96b39b45121a2d11ac16 hrtimers.txt was moved from
Documentation/hrtimers into Documentation/timers in order to keep all
timer-related together. A reference to hrtimers in highres.txt refered to
the old location.

Re: [PATCH] Doc: hrtimers.txt was moved a long time ago, update reference.

Sorry for the double patch. The first one is wrong as I realised, just as I hit 
<enter>, that the filename was also wrong. This patch corrects that as well (and 
I've actually tested the path to make sure I don't do the same mistake again).

[PATCH 01/01] - Add IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal-schedule.txt (deprecated) list


This adds IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal (deprecated) list since 
most of the IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy sources 
in the kernel's current entropy model.

+Check:	IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
+When:	July 2009
+
+Why:	Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy
+	sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every
+	input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the
+	type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with
+	additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c

[PATCH?] docbook: make cleandocs

Hi Sam,

"make clean" cleans DocBook generated files, but I would like a way to
clean _only_ those generated files.  Something like the patch below,
except that it doesn't work.  :(

Can you give me ideas of how to fix it, please?

Thanks,

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap <at> oracle.com>

Add a 'make cleandocs' target to clean up all generated

[PATCH]Documentation/rbtree.txt: cleanup kerneldoc of rbtree.txt

 The first formal parameter of the rb_link_node() is a pointer, and the
 "node" is define a data struct (pls see line 67 and line 73 in the
 doc), so the actual parameter should use "&data->node".
