2018-08-31docs: tidy up TOCs and refs to license-rules.rstMarkus Heiser1-6/+7
The documentation and TOCs are organized in a manner of a tree. Adding a TOC to the root, which refers to a file which is located in a subfolder forms a grid. Those TOCs are a bit confusing and thats why we get additional error messages while building partial documentation:: $ make SPHINXDIRS=process htmldocs ... checking consistency... Documentation/process/license-rules.rst: \ WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree To fix it, the *root-license-TOC* is replaced by a reference and the 'license-roles.txt' is added to the Documentation/process/index.rst TOC. BTW: there was an old licences remark in Documentation/process/howto.rst which is also updated, mentioning SPDX and pointing to the license-rules.rst Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2016-11-28Documentation/process/howto: Only send regression fixes after -rc1Dan Carpenter1-9/+10

The discussion at Kernel Summit said that we should be more strict about sending regression fixes only.
