Max Filippov 13e0988140 docs: complete bumping minimal GNU Make version to 3.81
Commit 37d69ee308 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81")
changes one entry of GNU make version in the changes.rst, there's still
one more entry saying that one need version 3.80.  Fix that.

Masahiro Yamada 37d69ee308 docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81
Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version
3.80. Example errors:

  $ git describe
  v4.11
  $ make --version | head -1
  GNU Make 3.80
  $ make defconfig
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator.  Stop.
  make: *** [defconfig] Error 2
  $ make ARCH=arm64 help
  arch/arm64/Makefile:43: *** unterminated call to function `warning': missing `)'.  Stop.
  $ make help >/dev/null
  ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive
  ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.
  make: *** [help] Error 2

The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e9e ("kbuild:
handle multi-objs dependency appropriately").  Since then (i.e. v3.18),
GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel, but nobody has
ever complained aboutt (or noticed) it.

Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old.  It would not hurt to
match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles.

Andrew Clayton 9b9355a269 docs: process/4.Coding.rst: Fix a couple of document refs
In Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst there were a couple of paragraphs
that spilled over the 80 character line length. This was likely caused
when the document was converted to reStructuredText. Re-flow the
paragraphs and make the document references proper reStructuredText
:ref: links.

This also adds the appropriate reStructuredText file heading to
kernel-parameters.rst as referenced by the kernel-parameters link in
this patch.

Markus Heiser db6ccf23e8 docs-rst: automatically convert Graphviz and SVG images
This patch brings scalable figure, image handling and a concept to
embed *render* markups:

* DOT (http://www.graphviz.org)
* SVG

For image handling use the 'image' replacement::

    .. kernel-image::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

For figure handling use the 'figure' replacement::

    .. kernel-figure::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

       SVG image example

Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is
provided by the *render* directive.::

  .. kernel-render:: DOT
     :alt: foobar digraph
     :caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.

     digraph foo {
      "bar" -> "baz";
     }

The *render* directive is a concept to integrate *render* markups and
languages, yet supported markups:

* DOT: render embedded Graphviz's **DOT**
* SVG: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**)
