2022-04-06x86/configs: Add x86 debugging Kconfig fragment plus docsDave Hansen
The kernel has a wide variety of debugging options to help catch and squash bugs. However, new debugging is added all the time and the existing options can be hard to find. Add a Kconfig fragment with the debugging options which tip maintainers expect to be used to test contributions. This should make it easier for contributors to test their code and find issues before submission. [ bp: Add to "make help" output, fix DEBUG_INFO selection as pointed out by Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>. ] Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220331175728.299103A0@davehans-spike.ostc.intel.com
2021-10-12docs: use the lore redirector everywhereThorsten Leemhuis
Change all links from using the lkml redirector to the lore redirector, as the kernel.org admin recently indicated: we shouldn't be using lkml.kernel.org anymore because the domain can create confusion, as it indicates it is only valid for messages sent to the LKML; the convention has been to use https://lore.kernel.org/r/msgid for this reason. In this process also change three links from using http to https.

2021-09-14Documentation/process: Add tip tree handbookThomas Gleixner
Add a document to the subsystem/maintainer handbook section, which explains what the tip tree is, how it operates and what rules and expectations it has. [ bp: - Add a SPDX identifier, work in most comments from the thread. - 9bf19b78a203 ("Documentation/submitting-patches: Document the SoB chain") is also in the main Documentation but I'm leaving the paragraph here because it has the proper structure - text talks about SoBs and referencing somewhere else would interrupt the flow. - Move backtraces in changelogs to main submitting-patches.rst. - "Patch version information" is explained to a great detail in submitting-patches.rst too. - Hyperlink resend reminders section. ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
