Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It has been a relatively quiet cycle in docsland. - As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now 1.7, and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely. That allowed the removal of a bunch of compatibility code. - A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it became clear nobody else was going to deal with them. - The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from relative paths to RST files. - More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes" * tag 'docs-5.12' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (75 commits) docs: kernel-hacking: be more civil docs: Remove the Microsoft rhetoric Documentation/admin-guide: kernel-parameters: Update nohlt section doc/admin-guide: fix spelling mistake: "perfomance" -> "performance" docs: Document cross-referencing using relative path docs: Enable usage of relative paths to docs on automarkup docs: thermal: fix spelling mistakes Documentation: admin-guide: Update kvm/xen config option docs: Make syscalls' helpers naming consistent coding-style.rst: Avoid comma statements Documentation: /proc/loadavg: add 3 more field descriptions Documentation/submitting-patches: Add blurb about backtraces in commit messages Docs: drop Python 2 support Move our minimum Sphinx version to 1.7 Documentation: input: define ABS_PRESSURE/ABS_MT_PRESSURE resolution as grams scripts/kernel-doc: add internal hyperlink to DOC: sections Update Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/fs.rst docs: Update DTB format references docs: zh_CN: add iio index.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add iio ep93xx_adc.rst translation ...
