CodingStyle: Document the exception of not splitting user-visible strings, for grepping

2011-08-06T18:59:07+00:00

Patch reviewers now recommend not splitting long user-visible strings,
such as printk messages, even if they exceed 80 columns.  This avoids
breaking grep.  However, that recommendation did not actually appear
anywhere in Documentation/CodingStyle.

See, for example, the thread at
  http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c1312215262.11635.15.camel%40Joe%2dLaptop%3e

Documentation: update CodingStyle memory allocators

2011-07-06T20:17:51+00:00

The list of available general purpose memory allocators in
Documentation/CodingStyle chapter 14 is incomplete. This patch adds
the missing vzalloc() to the list.

Documentation/CodingStyle: flesh out if-else examples

2011-03-23T00:44:16+00:00

There is a missing case for "Chapter 3: Placing Braces and Spaces".  We
often know we should not use braces where a single statement.  The first
case is:

	if (condition)
		action();

Another case is:

	if (condition)
		do_this();
	else
		do_that();

However, I can not find a description of the second case.

Documentation: update header filename in CodingStyle

2011-03-16T17:47:03+00:00

pr_info() and pr_debug() are in linux/printk.h, not linux/kernel.h.
Last updated is unnecessary, we have git for that.

fix emacs indenting howto filename expansion

2009-01-30T02:19:29+00:00

I don't think emacs understands tilde expansion, so use
"expand-file-name" to do that.

Documentation: update CodingStyle tips for Emacs users

2009-01-30T02:19:29+00:00

With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available
for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a
separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to
switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style
easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed
by the Emacs cc-mode.

CodingStyle: relax the 80-cole rule

2007-10-17T15:42:55+00:00

I would suggest this change to make CodingStyle properly reflect the style
used by the kernel, rather than the current wording which is wishful
thinking and misleading, and comes from the same school of thought that
gets off on prescriptive grammar, latin and comp.std.c
