Documentation: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-11T19:38:03+00:00

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

branches.

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

The list of available general purpose memory allocators in

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.

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