- Various kerneldoc script enhancements.
- More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of things to
convert, but we're a ways from done still.
- Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just need
to get maintainers to fill in the profiles...
- A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a variety of
systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in particular).
- The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need to
load a lot of paper.
- A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add Link:
tags at commit time.
Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters.

The Linux driver implementer's API guide
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
|
|
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
|
|
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
|
|
available subsections can be seen below.
