As a follow-up to the UMN incident[1], the TAB took the responsibility
to document Researcher Guidelines so there would be a common place to
point for describing our expectations as a developer community.
Document best practices researchers should follow to participate
successfully with the Linux developer community.

Make Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst point to the newly
created document about regressions
(Documentation/admin-guide/regressions-regressions.rst). This allows to
shorten a few explanations the new document describes better and in more
detail.
While at it move the copyright hint to the end of the file and remove
quotes around links to other places in the documentation. Both issues
came up during the review of the new documents about regressions.

Add a section with a few rules of thumb about how
quickly developers should address regressions to
Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst; additionally,
add a short paragraph about this to the companion document
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-regressions.rst as well.
The rules of thumb were written after studying the quotes from Linus
found in handling-regressions.rst and especially influenced by
statements like "Users are literally the _only_ thing that matters" and
"without users, your program is not a program, it's a pointless piece of
code that you might as well throw away". The author interpreted those in
perspective to how the various Linux kernel series are maintained
currently and what those practices might mean for users running into a
regression on a small or big kernel update.
That for example lead to the paragraph starting with "Aim to get fixes
for regressions mainlined within one week after identifying the culprit,
if the regression was introduced in a stable/longterm release or the
devel cycle for the latest mainline release". Some might see this as
pretty high bar, but on the other hand something like that is needed to
not leave users out in the cold for too long -- which can quickly happen
when updating to the latest stable series, as the previous one is
normally stamped "End of Life" about three or four weeks after a new
mainline release. This makes a lot of users switch during this
timeframe. Any of them thus risk running into regressions not promptly
fixed; even worse, once the previous stable series is EOLed for real,
users that face a regression might be left with only three options:
(1) continue running an outdated and thus potentially insecure kernel
version from an abandoned stable series
(2) run the kernel with the regression
(3) downgrade to an earlier longterm series still supported
This is better avoided, as (1) puts users and their data in danger, (2)
will only be possible if it's a minor regression that doesn't interfere
with booting or serious usage, and (3) might be regression itself or
impossible on the particular machine, as the users might require drivers
or features only introduced after the latest longterm series branched
of.
In the end this lead to the aforementioned "Aim to fix regression within
one week" part. It's also the reason for the "Try to resolve any
regressions introduced in the current development cycle before its
end.".

Quote from Jon's remark [1]:
I do notice that Documentation/conf.py is getting large and
unapproachable. At some future point, it might be nice to pull
all of the latex stuff out into a separate file where it won't
scare people who stumble into it by accident.
Pull LaTeX preamble settings added since commit 3b4c963243 ("docs:
conf.py: adjust the LaTeX document output") out into
sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty.
It will be copied to the build directory by the added
"latex_additional_files" setting in conf.py.
As a bonus, LaTeX/TeX code can be maintained without escaping backslashes.
To compensate the loss of change history in sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty,
here is a list of changes made in conf.py:

Akira says:
This series resolves issues listed below:
1. Some of chapter and section counts in Table of Contents (TOC) in
large PDF docs collide with chapter/section titles, e.g., Chapters 10,
11, 12, and 13 and Section 10.10 in userspace-api.pdf.
2. In docs of more than 99 pages, page counts in TOC are not aligned
properly when maxdepth >= 2 is specified in toctree, e.g., Chapters 10,
12, and 13 in userspace-api.pdf
3. In TOC of Latin-script docs, quotation and apostrophe symbols look too
wide, e.g., Section 2.2 in userspace-api.pdf.
4. In TOC of translations, Korean chapter titles lose inter-phrase spaces.
5. On systems without "Noto Sans CJK" fonts, CJK chapters in translations
results in full of "TOFU" boxes, with a long build time and a large
log file containing lots of missing-font warnings.
6. In translations.pdf built by "make pdfdocs", ascii-art diagrams in CJK
are not aligned properly.
As LaTeX macros for CJK font settings can have Latin-script font
settings as well, settings under Documentation/translations/ can
be moved to the main conf.py.
By this change, translations.pdf built by top-level "make pdfdocs"
can have properly aligned ascii-art diagrams except for Korean
ones.
For the reason of remaining misalignment in Korean diagrams, see
changelog of commit a90dad8f61 ("docs: pdfdocs: Add conf.py

On systems without "Noto Sans CJK" fonts, CJK chapters in
translations.pdf are full of "TOFU" boxes, with a long build time and
a large log file containing lots of missing-font warnings.
Avoid such waste of time and resources by skipping CJK chapters when
CJK fonts are not available.
To skip whole chapters, change the definition of
\kerneldocBegin{SC|TC|KR|JP} commands so that they can have an argument
to be ignored.
This works as far as the argument (#1) is not used in the command.
In place of skipped contents, put a note on skipped contents at the
beginning of the PDF.
Change the call sites in index.rst of CJK translations accordingly.
When CJK fonts are available, existing command definitions with
no argument just work. LaTeX engine will see additional pairs of
"{" and "}", which add a level of grouping without having any effect
on typesetting.

xeCJK is enabled in Table of Contents (TOC) so that translations.pdf
built by top-level "make pdfdocs" can have its TOC typeset properly.
This causes quotation marks and apostrophe symbols appear too wide in
Latin-script docs.
This is because (1) Sphinx converts ASCII symbols into multi-byte
UTF-8 ones in LaTeX and (2) in the SC variant of "Noto CJK" font
families, those UTF-8 symbols have full-width glyph.
The KR variant of the font families has half-width glyph for those
symbols and TOC pages should look nicer when it is used instead.
Switch the default CJK font families to the KR variant and teach
xeCJK of those symbols' widths.
To compensate the switch, teach xeCJK of the width in the SC and
TC variants.

Sphinx has its own set of width parameters of Table of Contents (TOC)
for LaTeX defined in its class definition of sphinxmanual.cls.
It also inherits parameters for chapter entries from report.cls of
original LaTeX base.
However, they are optimized assuming small documents with tens of
pages and chapters/sections of less than 10.
To cope with some of kernel-doc documents with more than 1000
pages and several tens of chapters/sections, definitions of those
parameters need to be adjusted.
Unfortunately, those parameters are hard coded in the class
definitions and need low-level LaTeX coding tricks to redefine.
As Sphinx 1.7.9 does not have \sphinxtableofcontentshook,
which defines those parameters in later Sphinx versions,
for compatibility with both pre-1.8 and later Sphinx versions,
empty the hook altogether and redefine \@pnumwidth, \l@chapter,
\l@section, and \@subsection commands originally defined in
report.cls.
Summary of parameter changes:
Width of page number (\@pnumwidth): 1.55em -> 2.7em
Width of chapter number: 1.5em -> 1.8em
Indent of section number: 1.5em -> 1.8em
Width of section number: 2.6em -> 3.2em
Indent of subsection number: 4.1em -> 5em
Width of subsection number: 3.5em -> 4.3em
Notes:
1. Parameters for subsection become relevant only when
":maxdepth: 3" is specified under "toctree::" (e.g., RCU/index.rst).
They can hold subsection numbers up to 5 digits such as "18.7.13"
(in RCU.pdf).
2. Number of chapters in driver-api.pdf is getting closer to 100.
When it reaches 100, another set of tweaks will be necessary.
3. The low-level LaTeX trick is mentioned in "Unofficial LaTeX2e
reference manual" at:

It turns out that LaTeX enables \write18, which allows (some) shell
commands to be executed from the document source, by default. This the
often-seen warning during a pdfdocs build:
restricted \write18 enabled
That is a potential security problem and is entirely unnecessary; nothing
in the kernel PDF docs build needs that capability. So disable \write18
explicitly.

PDF-generation improvements from Akira Yokasawa; Akira says:
This patch set improves conversions of DOT -> PDF and SVG -> PDF
for PDF docs.
* DOT -> PDF conversion
Current scheme uses "dot -Tpdf" (of graphviz).
Cons:
- openSUSE's dot(1) does not support -Tpdf.
- Other distro's dot(1) generates PDFs with unnecessarily wide
margins for inclusion into LaTeX docs.
Patch 1/4 changes the route to the following two steps:
1. DOT -> SVG by "dot -Tsvg"
2. SVG -> PDF by "rsvg-convert -f pdf" with fallback to convert(1)
Pros:
- Improved portability across distros
- Less space around graphs in final PDF documents
Con:
- On systems without rsvg-convert, generated PDF will be of raster
image.
Patch 2/4 avoids raster-image PDF by using "dot -Tpdf" on systems where
the option is available.
* SVG -> PDF conversion
Current scheme uses convert(1) (of ImageMagick)
Cons:
- Generated PDFs are of raster image. Some of them look blurry.
- Raster images tend to be large in size.
- convert(1) delegates SVG decoding to rsvg-convert(1).
It doesn't cover full range of Inkscape-specific SVG features
and fails to convert some of SVG figures properly.
Improper conversions are observed with SVGs listed below (incomplete,
conversion quality depends on the version of rsvg-convert):
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/selection.svg
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_525.svg
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_625.svg
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_hsync.svg
- Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/DRBD-8.3-data-packets.svg
- Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/DRBD-data-packages.svg
If you have Inkscape installed as well, convert(1) delegates SVG
decoding to inkscape(1) rather than to rsvg-convert(1) and SVGs listed
above can be rendered properly.
So if Inkscape is required for converting those SVGs properly, why not
use it directly in the first place?
Patches 3/4 and 4/4 add code to utilize inkscape(1) for SVG -> PDF
conversion when it is available. They don't modify any existing
requirements for kernel-doc.
Patch 3/4 adds the alternative route of SVG -> PDF conversion by
inkscape(1).
Patch 4/4 delegates warning messages from inkscape(1) to kernellog.verbose
as they are likely harmless in command-line uses.
Pros:
- Generated PDFs are of vector graphics.
- Vector graphics tends to be smaller in size and looks nicer when
zoomed in.
- SVGs drawn by Inkscape are fully supported.
On systems without Inkscape, no regression is expected by these two
patches.
Depending on its version, distro config, and system-setup type,
inkscape(1) emits various warning messages which are harmless in
command-line uses.
List of such warning messages (incomplete, long ones wrapped):
- Gtk-Message: hh:mm:ss.nnn: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
- Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
- Failed to get connection
- ** (inkscape:xxx): CRITICAL **: hh:mm:ss.nnn: dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name:
assertion 'connection != NULL' failed
- ** (inkscape:xxx): CRITICAL **: hh:mm:ss.nnn: dbus_g_proxy_call:
assertion 'DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed
- ** (inkscape:xxx): CRITICAL **: hh:mm:ss.nnn: dbus_g_connection_register_g_object:
assertion 'connection != NULL' failed
- ** (inkscape:xxx): WARNING **: hh:mm:ss.nnn:
Fonts dir '/usr/share/inkscape/fonts' does not exist and will be ignored.
To avoid unnecessary anxiety, capture the message and output it via
kernellog.verbose or kernellog.warn depending on the exit code.

Using convert(1) of ImageMagick for SVG -> PDF conversion results in
PDFs containing raster (bitmap) images which sometimes look blurry.
Ideally speaking, SVG to PDF conversion should retain vector graphics
in SVG.
rsvg-convert(1) can do such conversions with regard to SVG files
generated by dot(1).
Unfortunately, rsvg-convert(1) does not cover some of SVG features
specific to Inkscape.
inkscape(1) of Inkscape naturally covers such SVG features.
So add a route in svg2pdf() so that inkscape(1) is used when it is
available.
Note:
After this change, if you have Inkscape installed, ImageMagick nor
librsvg are not required.

To prevent any regression on existing build systems, limit the
fallback of converting DOT -> raster PDF only when both of the
following conditions are met.
o dot(1) doesn't support -Tpdf
o rsvg-convert(1) is not found
While we are here, add kernellog.verbose messages related to
rsvg-convert, 'dot -Tpdf', and 'dot -Tsvg' commands.

On openSUSE, dot(1) command does not support direct PDF output.
On other distros, generated PDF images have unnecessarily wide margins,
especially for small graphs.
By using dot(1) for DOT -> SVG, then rsvg-convert(1) for SVG -> PDF,
more optimal PDF images can be obtained, with the bonus of improved
portability across various distros.
Add rules in kfigure.py so that the above mentioned route is taken
when rsvg-convert(1) is available.
Note that rsvg-convert(1) is recommended by sphinx_pre_install.
So it is most likely that existing systems for building pdfdocs have
rsvg-convert(1) installed.
Note:
SVG features supported by rsvg-convert(1) vary depending on its
version and distro config.
For example, the one found on Ubuntu Bionic (version 2.40.20) does
poor job in rendering some of SVG files drawn by Inkscape.
SVG files generated by dot(1) are converted nicely even with such
old versions of rsvg-convert.
So this change does not affect the quality of such figures in any
way.

It's unclear from "Submitting Patches" documentation that Reported-by

in the section 5.4 "Patch formatting and changelogs" of the "A guide

should fix something existing in the kernel. Clarify the Reported-by
usage in the "Submitting Patches".
