Core API Documentation
======================
This is the beginning of a manual for core kernel APIs. The conversion
(and writing!) of documents for this manual is much appreciated!
Core utilities
==============
This section has general and "core core" documentation. The first is a
massive grab-bag of kerneldoc info left over from the docbook days; it
should really be broken up someday when somebody finds the energy to do
it.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
kernel-api
workqueue
watch_queue
printk-basics
printk-formats
printk-index
symbol-namespaces

housekeeping.rst
Data structures and low-level utilities
=======================================
Library functionality that is used throughout the kernel.

Low level entry and exit
========================

Concurrency primitives
======================
How Linux keeps everything from happening at the same time. See
Documentation/locking/index.rst for more related documentation.

Cache management, managing CPU hotplug, etc.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1

Memory management
=================
How to allocate and use memory in the kernel. Note that there is a lot
more memory-management documentation in Documentation/mm/index.rst.
