Merge tag 'docs-4.16' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Documentation updates for 4.16. New stuff includes refcount_t documentation, errseq documentation, kernel-doc support for nested structure definitions, the removal of lots of crufty kernel-doc support for unused formats, SPDX tag documentation, the beginnings of a manual for subsystem maintainers, and lots of fixes and updates. As usual, some of the changesets reach outside of Documentation/ to effect kerneldoc comment fixes. It also adds the new LICENSES directory, of which Thomas promises I do not need to be the maintainer" * tag 'docs-4.16' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (65 commits) linux-next: docs-rst: Fix typos in kfigure.py linux-next: DOC: HWPOISON: Fix path to debugfs in hwpoison.txt Documentation: Fix misconversion of #if docs: add index entry for networking/msg_zerocopy Documentation: security/credentials.rst: explain need to sort group_list LICENSES: Add MPL-1.1 license LICENSES: Add the GPL 1.0 license LICENSES: Add Linux syscall note exception LICENSES: Add the MIT license LICENSES: Add the BSD-3-clause "Clear" license LICENSES: Add the BSD 3-clause "New" or "Revised" License LICENSES: Add the BSD 2-clause "Simplified" license LICENSES: Add the LGPL-2.1 license LICENSES: Add the LGPL 2.0 license LICENSES: Add the GPL 2.0 license Documentation: Add license-rules.rst to describe how to properly identify file licenses scripts: kernel_doc: better handle show warnings logic fs/*/Kconfig: drop links to 404-compliant http://acl.bestbits.at doc: md: Fix a file name to md-fault.c in fault-injection.txt errseq: Add to documentation tree ...
