Pull Documentation updates from Jon Corbet: "A bit busier this time around. The most interesting thing (IMO) this time around is some beginning infrastructural work to allow documents to be written using restructured text. Maybe someday, in a galaxy far far away, we'll be able to eliminate the DocBook dependency and have a much better integrated set of kernel docs. Someday. Beyond that, there's a new document on security hardening from Kees, the movement of some sample code over to samples/, a number of improvements to the serial docs from Geert, and the usual collection of corrections, typo fixes, etc" * tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (55 commits) doc: self-protection: provide initial details serial: doc: Use port->state instead of info serial: doc: Always refer to tty_port->mutex Documentation: vm: Spelling s/paltform/platform/g Documentation/memcg: update kmem limit doc as codes behavior docproc: print a comment about autogeneration for rst output docproc: add support for reStructuredText format via --rst option docproc: abstract terminating lines at first space docproc: abstract docproc directive detection docproc: reduce unnecessary indentation docproc: add variables for subcommand and filename kernel-doc: use rst C domain directives and references for types kernel-doc: produce RestructuredText output kernel-doc: rewrite usage description, remove duplicated comments Doc: correct the location of sysrq.c Documentation: fix common spelling mistakes samples: v4l: from Documentation to samples directory samples: connector: from Documentation to samples directory Documentation: xillybus: fix spelling mistake Documentation: x86: fix spelling mistakes ...
