Documentation: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-11T19:38:03Z

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

CodingStyle: Document the exception of not splitting user-visible strings, for grepping

2011-08-06T18:59:07Z

Patch reviewers now recommend not splitting long user-visible strings, such as printk messages, even if they exceed 80 columns. This avoids breaking grep. However, that recommendation did not actually appear anywhere in Documentation/CodingStyle.

Documentation: update CodingStyle memory allocators

2011-07-06T20:17:51Z

The list of available general purpose memory allocators in Documentation/CodingStyle chapter 14 is incomplete. This patch adds the missing vzalloc() to the list. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation/CodingStyle: flesh out if-else examples

2011-03-23T00:44:16Z

There is a missing case for "Chapter 3: Placing Braces and Spaces". We often know we should not use braces where a single statement. The first case is: if (condition) action(); Another case is: if (condition) do_this(); else do_that(); However, I can not find a description of the second case.

Documentation: update header filename in CodingStyle
