Merge tag 'docs-6.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all
over:
- Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the
"literal include" mode.
- Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
converted to Python and updated for current systems.
- A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate
HTML redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site
hosting the rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.
- Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink
protocol.
- A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide.
... and a seemingly endless series of typo fixes, build-problem fixes,
etc"
