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" * tag 'docs-6.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (193 commits) Documentation/features: Update feature lists for 6.17-rc7 docs: remove cdomain.py Documentation/process: submitting-patches: fix typo in "were do" docs: dev-tools/lkmm: Fix typo of missing file extension Documentation: trace: histogram: Convert ftrace docs cross-reference Documentation: trace: histogram-design: Wrap introductory note in note:: directive Documentation: trace: historgram-design: Separate sched_waking histogram section heading and the following diagram Documentation: trace: histogram-design: Trim trailing vertices in diagram explanation text Documentation: trace: histogram: Fix histogram trigger subsection number order docs: driver-api: fix spelling of "buses".
