Docs at the Linux Kernel tree
-----------------------------
The DocBook books should be built with ``make {htmldocs | psdocs | pdfdocs}``.
The Sphinx books should be built with ``make {htmldocs | pdfdocs | epubdocs}``.
* Name: **linux/Documentation**
:Author: Many.
:Location: Documentation/
:Keywords: text files, Sphinx, DocBook.
:Description: Documentation that comes with the kernel sources,
inside the Documentation directory. Some pages from this document
(including this document itself) have been moved there, and might
be more up to date than the web version.
* Title: **The Kernel Hacking HOWTO**
:Author: Various Talented People, and Rusty.
:Location: Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl
:Keywords: HOWTO, kernel contexts, deadlock, locking, modules,
symbols, return conventions.
:Description: From the Introduction: "Please understand that I
never wanted to write this document, being grossly underqualified,
but I always wanted to read it, and this was the only way. I
simply explain some best practices, and give reading entry-points
into the kernel sources. I avoid implementation details: that's
what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of useful
routines. This document assumes familiarity with C, and an
understanding of what the kernel is, and how it is used. It was
originally written for the 2.3 kernels, but nearly all of it
applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly different".
* Title: **Linux Kernel Locking HOWTO**
:Author: Various Talented People, and Rusty.
:Location: Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl
:Keywords: locks, locking, spinlock, semaphore, atomic, race
condition, bottom halves, tasklets, softirqs.
:Description: The title says it all: document describing the
locking system in the Linux Kernel either in uniprocessor or SMP
systems.
:Notes: "It was originally written for the later (>2.3.47) 2.3
kernels, but most of it applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly
different". Freely redistributable under the conditions of the GNU
