Linus Torvalds 7832681b36 A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.
- The old driver statement has been added to the kernel docs.
 
   - We have a couple of new helper scripts.  find-unused-docs.sh from Sayli
     Karnic will point out kerneldoc comments that are not actually used in
     the documentation.  Jani Nikula's documentation-file-ref-check finds
     references to non-existing files.
 
   - A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.
 
   - Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST
 
 Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.

 "A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.

  This set reaches outside of Documentation/ a bit more than most. In
  all cases, the changes are to comment docs, mostly from Randy, in
  places where there didn't seem to be anybody better to take them"

Working with the kernel development community
=============================================
So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
trouble.
Below are the essential guides that every developer should read.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
howto
code-of-conflict
development-process
submitting-patches
coding-style
email-clients
kernel-enforcement-statement
kernel-driver-statement
Other guides to the community that are of interest to most developers are:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
changes
submitting-drivers
stable-api-nonsense
management-style
stable-kernel-rules
submit-checklist
kernel-docs
These are some overall technical guides that have been put here for now for
lack of a better place.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
applying-patches
adding-syscalls
magic-number
volatile-considered-harmful
.. only:: subproject and html
