Documentation: describe how to apply incremental stable patches

2022-03-09T23:29:44+00:00

The applying patches document
(Documentation/process/applying-patches.rst) mentions incremental stable
patches, but there is no example of how to apply them. Describe the
process.

While at it, remove note about incremental patches and move the external
link of 5.x.y incremental patches to "Where can I download patches?"
section.

Documentation/process/applying-patches: Activate linux-next man hyperlink

2021-08-20T17:10:12+00:00

There is a url for linux-next in the 'applying-patches.rst', but it's
surrounded by backquotes.  So the url doesn't have a hyperlink in the
built document.  To let readers easily move to the page, this commit
puts the url outside of the backquotes so that a hyperlink to the url
can be automatically made.

Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation

2020-06-08T15:30:19+00:00

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
      For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
        If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
        return 200 OK and serve the same content:
          Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Documentation: change linux-4.x references to 5.x

2019-02-17T22:41:05+00:00

As linux-5.0.x is coming up soon, the documentation should match,
in particular the README.rst file, so change all 4.x references
accordingly. There was a mix of lowercase and uppercase X here,
which I changed to using lowercase consistently.

docs: process: drop git snapshots from applying-patches.rst

2017-08-30T21:25:30+00:00

Drop all references to git daily snapshots of Linux mainline git tree
since they are no longer generated.

Drop the "Last update" info since 'git log' is a better source of that
info and since the Last update date is not being updated.

Yes, I read that this file is obsolete, but it still has some useful
information in it.

docs: Add a warning to applying-patches.rst

2016-10-27T22:38:29+00:00

This is ancient stuff and we don't do things this way anymore.  In the
absence of simply deleting the document, at least add a warning to it.

docs-rst: add documents to development-process

2016-10-24T10:12:35+00:00

Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.

As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.
