- Some cleanup of the main index page for easier navigation
- Rework some of the other top-level pages for better readability and, with
luck, fewer merge conflicts in the future.
- Submit-checklist improvements, hopefully the first of many.
- New Italian translations
- A fair number of kernel-doc fixes and improvements. We have also dropped
the recommendation to use an old version of Sphinx.
- A new document from Thorsten on bisection
...and lots of fixes and updates.

The Linux Kernel documentation
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
|
|
documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
|
|
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
|
|
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
|
|
documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
|
|
you want to help out.
|
|
|
|
Working with the development community
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
The essential guides for interacting with the kernel's development
|
|
community and getting your work upstream.

kernel.

User-oriented documentation
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
|
|
trying to get it to work optimally on a given system and application
|
|
developers seeking information on the kernel's user-space APIs.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Userspace tools <tools/index>
|
|
Userspace API <userspace-api/index>
|
|
|
|
See also: the `Linux man pages <https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/>`_,
|
|
which are kept separately from the kernel's own documentation.
|
|
|
|
Firmware-related documentation
|
|
==============================

|
The following holds information on the kernel's expectations regarding the
|
|
platform firmwares.

Other documentation
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
There are several unsorted documents that don't seem to fit on other parts
|
|
of the documentation body, or may require some adjustments and/or conversion
|
|
to ReStructured Text format, or are simply too old.
