This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

"This file" indeed was moved once, but at some point "this file", the top-level README, becomes a file in itself. Now that time has come :) Let's describe how things are, and suggest reading "this file" first, "this file" simply being a the admin-guide README file, not a file that was once moved.

As we moved the real README file to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst, let's add a replacement, pointing to it, and giving the main directions about documentation. In the future, perhaps it would be worth to move the contents of Documentation/00-Index into this README. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

Adjust the readme file for it to use the ReST markup: - add chapter/section markups; - use ``foo`` for commands; - use :: for verbatim and script blocks; - replace unsupported markup _foo_ by **foo**; - add cross-references to other ReST files; - use lower case on the section titles, to match other ReST files.

Support for i386 was removed in v3.8, delete the paragraph that says processor types above 386 won't work on that architecture. It's obsolete information and potentially confusing.

The text referred to `XX', when only a single `X' actually existed, so this commit changes it to just `X'; a similar change has been made for `xx'. Also, `N' was used when it would have been more consistent to use `X' again, so this commit replaces `N' with `X'. This commit also chooses to leave `X' as the placeholder for the current version of the source, and then makes `x' the placeholder for any version number; fortunately nothing really depends on this subtlety being understood. Because `x' is already being used when discussing version numbers, this commit changes such filename references as `xxx.rej' to `some-file-name.rej'.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in all.config. For a fix the diffstat is nice: 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) The patch reverts these commits: - 0f855aa6 ("kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable") - 2a113281 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets") Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were not needed. With this patch we have following behaviour: # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...] option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit ===================================================== ./. | 32bit | 64bit ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes precedence over the configuration. So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the other way around. This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no suprises here. make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the value of CONFIG_64BIT. This is for example useful for powerpc to generate allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this: make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.
