Stephen Boyd b1735296ce docs: locking: Drop :c:func: throughout
The kernel doc tooling knows how to do this itself so drop this markup
throughout this file to simplify.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab c44166fe5f docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabel
Changeset 58ad30cf91 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst")
enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each
document title, plus to each chapter inside it.

There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections
with the same name anymore.

A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to
avoid most creating references for every single section title,
but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside
a document.

There are a few places where there are two chapters with the
same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to
avoid symbol conflict within the same document.

PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend
(Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches"
for this document:

Jonathan Corbet 58ad30cf91 docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst
Fix a couple of dangling links to core-api/namespaces.rst by turning them
into proper references.  Enable the autosection extension (available since
Sphinx 1.4) to make this work.

Madhuparna Bhowmik bc51a6d34c Documentation: kernel-hacking: hacking.rst: Change reference to document namespaces.rst to symbol-namespaces.rst
This patch fixes the following documentation build warning:
Warning: Documentation/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst references
a file that doesn't exist: Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst

According to the following patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11178727/
(doc: move namespaces.rst from kbuild/ to core-api/)

The file namespaces.rst was moved from kbuild to core-api
and renamed to symbol-namespaces.rst.
Therefore, this patch changes the reference to the document
kbuild/namespaces.rst in hacking.rst to
core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 387b14684f docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the
kernel development book where it belongs.

Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly
parse the text file, as they're already in good shape,
not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Stephen Kitt 220ee02a0b docs: stop suggesting strlcpy
Since strlcpy is deprecated, the documentation shouldn't suggest using
it. This patch fixes the examples to use strscpy instead. It also uses
sizeof instead of underlying constants as far as possible, to simplify
future changes to the corresponding data structures.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab cd238effef docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

Linus Torvalds 650fc870a2 There has been a fair amount of activity in the docs tree this time
around.  Highlights include:
 
  - Conversion of a bunch of security documentation into RST
 
  - The conversion of the remaining DocBook templates by The Amazing
    Mauro Machine.  We can now drop the entire DocBook build chain.
 
  - The usual collection of fixes and minor updates.
