cpufreq: User/admin documentation update and consolidation

2017-03-13T23:08:42Z

The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated. It conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important pieces are missing from it. For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old outdated .txt documents it is replacing. Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward, create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document in there right away. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

admin-guide: merge oops-tracing with bug-hunting

2016-11-07T23:50:33Z

Now that oops-tracing.rst has only information about stack dumps found on OOPS, and bug-hunting.rst has only information about how to identify the source code line associated with a stack dump, let's merge them and improve the information inside it.

Merge branch 'doc-tweaks' into docs-next

2016-10-27T23:47:58Z

The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx books. In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit more accessible.

docs: Get rid of the "basic profiling" guide

2016-10-27T22:36:50Z

The document has not been touched in over 11 years and doesn't reflect how profiling is done in the perf era. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: Get rid of the badRAM guide

2016-10-27T22:36:26Z

The last release of this tool was for 2.6.28; it's hard to see how it has any relevance to current kernels. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bit

2016-10-27T22:36:06Z

The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them. One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use :numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC, but it's probably early to do that.
