Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is
still a fair amount going on, including:
- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for
patch submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption
by generative tools
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to
tools/docs. For now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink
behind to avoid breaking scripts
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of
documentation in Python code, better support for documenting
variables, and lots of improvements and fixes
- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example --
to the online pages in the HTML build
...and the usual array of typo fixes and such"

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.
