3a025e1d1c Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments
Implement a '-none' output mode for kernel-doc which will only output
warning messages, and suppresses the warning message about there being
no kernel-doc in the file.

If the build has requested additional warnings, automatically check all
.c files.  This patch does not check .h files.  Enabling the warning
by default would add about 1300 warnings, so it's default off for now.
People who care can use this to check they didn't break the docs and
maybe we'll get all the warnings fixed and be able to enable this check
by default in the future.

Drop CONFIG_VIDEO_COMPACT and CONFIG_VIDEO_VESA info completely.
Drop CONFIG_VIDEO_SVGA info since it has been removed.
Drop chapter number & section number references since they are wrong.
Drop (bad) ftp URL for 800x600 Thinkpad XF86Config.

Rename CONFIG_VIDEO_GFX_HACK to VIDEO_GFX_HACK since it is not a
Kconfig symbol. And to match the source code.

Build options are controlled by the kernel kconfig utility.

8ee25f6fcf Documentation/process: add Co-Developed-by: tag for patches with multiple authors
Sometimes a single patch is the result of multiple authors.  As git only
can have one "author" of a patch, it is still good to properly give
credit to the other developers of a commit.  To address this, document
the "Co-Developed-by:" tag which can be used to show other authors of
the patch.

Note, these other authors must also provide a Signed-off-by: tag as it
is their work that is being submitted here.

b4d9421098 ftrace/docs: Add documentation on how to use ftrace from within the kernel
With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the
utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that
explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes
to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a
callback to a function within the kernel.

3211ba4157 Merge branch 'refs' into docs-next
Tom Saeger says:

Recently, while reading up on binfmt I attempted to open a document ref
only to find it was invalid.  I did a quick grep, found all the
binfmt_misc related broken refs and sent a patch.

Fine. Easy.

Then I wondered, "how many broken doc refs are there?".

Turns out with all the recent doc moves, quite a few.

I went about fixing just those found in Documentation/,
except those in Documentation/translations/ and
Documentation/devicetree/ for now.

Most of these changes were s/txt/rst/ or fixing up a path to an obvious
new location.  Some required going back to v4.10 v4.4 or some other
version to sleuth-out what content was actually being referenced and
then fixing the reference to point to the new file with that content.

Add a simple script and build target to do a treewide grep for
references to files under Documentation, and report the non-existing

too. Mostly seems accurate though.

13277782dd Documentation: add Kernel Driver Statement to the kernel
Way back in 2008 we didn't have "robust" in-kernel documentation system,
so the idea of putting something like the kernel driver statement in the
kernel tree wasn't even imagined.  But now that has changed, so add the
old document to the kernel source itself to allow for us to properly
reference it in one canonical place (as the LF wiki keeps moving things
around.)

This also will allow people to add their names to it, as I seem to have
lost the ability to do that by not knowing how to edit things on the
original document.
