2022-03-09Documentation: describe how to apply incremental stable patchesBagas Sanjaya1-5/+23
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.

2021-08-20Documentation/process/applying-patches: Activate linux-next man hyperlinkSeongJae Park1-1/+1
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.

2020-06-08Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentationAlexander A. Klimov1-2/+2
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.

2019-02-17Documentation: change linux-4.x references to 5.xArnd Bergmann1-56/+61
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. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-08-30docs: process: drop git snapshots from applying-patches.rstRandy Dunlap1-42/+1
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 Yes, I read that this file is obsolete, but it still has some useful information in it. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2016-10-27docs: Add a warning to applying-patches.rstJonathan Corbet1-0/+4
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. Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-24docs-rst: add documents to development-processMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+464
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. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
