Merge tag 'docs-5.14' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes: - Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from hell, but it has gotten a little better. - Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the tool itself. - A major update to the pathname lookup documentation. - Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create references from filenames without all the extra noise. - The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues. Plus, of course, the usual collection of updates, typo fixes, and warning fixes" * tag 'docs-5.14' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (115 commits) docs: path-lookup: use bare function() rather than literals docs: path-lookup: update symlink description docs: path-lookup: update get_link() ->follow_link description docs: path-lookup: update WALK_GET, WALK_PUT desc docs: path-lookup: no get_link() docs: path-lookup: update i_op->put_link and cookie description docs: path-lookup: i_op->follow_link replaced with i_op->get_link docs: path-lookup: Add macro name to symlink limit description docs: path-lookup: remove filename_mountpoint docs: path-lookup: update do_last() part docs: path-lookup: update path_mountpoint() part docs: path-lookup: update path_to_nameidata() part docs: path-lookup: update follow_managed() part docs: Makefile: Use CONFIG_SHELL not SHELL docs: Take a little noise out of the build process docs: x86: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: virt: kvm: s390-pv-boot.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: userspace-api: landlock.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: trace: ftrace.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: trace: coresight: coresight.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup ...
