* kernel-doc: restrict syntax for private: and public:Randy Dunlap2009-05-021-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | scripts/kernel-doc can (incorrectly) delete struct members that are surrounded by /* ... */ <struct members> /* ... */ if there is a /* private: */ comment in there somewhere also. Fix that by making the "/* private:" only allow whitespace between /* and "private:", not anything/everything in the world. This fixes some erroneous kernel-doc warnings that popped up while processing include/linux/usb/composite.h.

| | | | | | | | | | Fix kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt to use */ as the ending marker in kernel-doc examples and state that */ is the preferred ending marker.

* documentation: how to use DOC: section blocksRandy Dunlap2009-01-061-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | Add info on how to use DOC: sections in kernel-doc. DOC: sections enable the addition of inline source file comments that are general in nature instead of being specific to a function, struct, union, enum, or typedef.

* doc: document the kernel-doc conventions for kernel hackersPaul Jackson2008-06-061-0/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented to kernel hackers. Since I figure that there will be more people reading this kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added here: How to format kernel-doc comments the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file. This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other portions of the kernel.

* [PATCH] kernel-doc: allow a little whitespaceRandy Dunlap2007-02-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In kernel-doc syntax, be a little flexible: allow whitespace between a function parameter name and the colon that must follow it, such as: @pdev : PCI device to unplug (This allows lots of megaraid kernel-doc to work without tons of editing.)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
