The crash_kexec_post_notifiers description could be improved a bit,
by clarifying its upsides (yes, there are some!) and be more descriptive
about the downsides, specially mentioning code that enables the option
unconditionally, like Hyper-V[0], PowerPC (fadump)[1] and more recently,
AMD SEV-SNP[2].

The dontdiff file is a relic from the pre-Git era that has little use now.
It has entries (parse.c, for example) that will mask real changes to kernel
source files. There are all kinds of entries for files we do not create
anymore. Rather than try to fix it up, simply remove it.
Update the kernel documentation (and translations) to remove references to
this file. There is an ancient Japanese translation of SubmittingPatches
that I am unable to update; that really needs a thorough redo.

The section counter tracks how many sections of kernel-doc were added.
The only real use of the counter value is to check if anything was
actually supposed to be output and give a warning is nothing is
available.
The current logic of remembering the initial value and then resetting
the value then when processing each file means that if a file has the
same number of sections as the previously processed one, a warning is
incorrectly given.

As stated at Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst, to make usage of ccache one
must set KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=''. Setting this together with W=1
will trigger the following warning for every compiled file:
date: invalid date ‘+%s’
This comes from kernel-doc script, that produces the following command
when KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is empty:
date -d"" +%s
That triggers the warning above. Add a space between the flag `-d` and
the string argument to fix date command and remove the warning.

At the 2024 Linux Plumbers Conference, I was talking with Hans de Goede
about the persistent buffer to display traces from previous boots. He
mentioned that UEFI can clear memory. In my own tests I have not seen
this. He later informed me that it requires the config option:
CONFIG_RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION
It appears that setting this will allow the memory to be cleared on boot
up, which will definitely clear out the trace of the previous boot.
Add this information under the trace_instance in kernel-parameters.txt
to let people know that this can cause issues.
