	In the Distribution Kernels track at Linux Plumbers Conference there was some discussion around the difficulty of making kernel builds reproducible. This is a solved problem, but the solutions don't appear to be documented in one place. This document lists the issues I know about and the settings needed to ensure reproducibility.

2019-07-15	docs: add some directories to the main documentation index	Mauro Carvalho Chehab	1	-1/+1
	The contents of those directories were orphaned at the documentation body. While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide, I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the :orphan: and adding the SPDX header. For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific docs that were not split yet. For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch could do the move.

2019-06-14	docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst	Mauro Carvalho Chehab	1	-0/+27
	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. 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.
