Pull memory model doc updates from Paul McKenney: "lkmm: Add documentation and mailing list This contains documentation updates from Andrea Parri and Akira Yokosawa. Also, there is now an lkmm@lists.linux.dev, and Boqun Feng's update adds this to the LKMM MAINTAINERS entry. Not included are a couple of more commits from Puranjay Mohan adding more atomic operations to LKMM, but these await a herdtools7 release that includes tool-side support for this functionality. With luck, I will send a separate pull request for these later in the merge window" * tag 'lkmm.2024.09.14b' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: MAINTAINERS: Add the dedicated maillist info for LKMM docs/memory-barriers.txt: Remove left-over references to "CACHE COHERENCY" tools/memory-model: simple.txt: Fix stale reference to recipes-pairs.txt tools/memory-model: Add locking.txt and glossary.txt to README tools/memory-model: Document herd7 (abstract) representation
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
