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".

-Creating commit links to lore.kernel.org
-----------------------------------------
-
-The web site https://lore.kernel.org is meant as a grand archive of all mail
-list traffic concerning or influencing the kernel development. Storing archives
-of patches here is a recommended practice, and when a maintainer applies a
-patch to a subsystem tree, it is a good idea to provide a Link: tag with a
-reference back to the lore archive so that people that browse the commit
-history can find related discussions and rationale behind a certain change.
-The link tag will look like this::
-
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/<message-id>
-
-This can be configured to happen automatically any time you issue ``git am``
-by adding the following hook into your git::
-
- $ git config am.messageid true
- $ cat >.git/hooks/applypatch-msg <<'EOF'
- #!/bin/sh
- . git-sh-setup
- perl -pi -e 's|^Message-I[dD]:\s*<?([^>]+)>?$|Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/$1|g;' "$1"
- test -x "$GIT_DIR/hooks/commit-msg" &&
- exec "$GIT_DIR/hooks/commit-msg" ${1+"$@"}
- :
- EOF
