* docs: add ABI documentation to the admin-guide bookMauro Carvalho Chehab2020-10-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As we don't want a generic Sphinx extension to execute commands, change the one proposed to Markus to call the abi_book.pl script. Use a script to parse the Documentation/ABI directory and output it at the admin-guide.

* media: docs: move user-facing docs to the admin guideMauro Carvalho Chehab2020-04-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the driver-specific documentation is meant to help users of the media subsystem. Move them to the admin-guide. It should be noticed, however, that several of those files are outdated and will require further work in order to make them useful again.

Then, manually convert the documentation files for CIFS to ReST.

This new set of misfeatures has the following CVEs assigned: CVE-2018-12126 MSBDS Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling CVE-2018-12130 MFBDS Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling CVE-2018-12127 MLPDS Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling CVE-2019-11091 MDSUM Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory MDS attacks target microarchitectural buffers which speculatively forward data under certain conditions. Disclosure gadgets can expose this data via cache side channels. Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS vulnerability does not allow the attacker to control the memory target address. As a consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but as demonstrated with the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed successfully. The mitigation is to flush the microarchitectural buffers on return to user space and before entering a VM. It's bolted on the VERW instruction and requires a microcode update. As some of the attacks exploit data structures shared between hyperthreads, full protection requires to disable hyperthreading. The kernel does not do that by default to avoid breaking unattended updates.

* Merge branch 'doc-tweaks' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet2016-10-281-14/+39
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx books. In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit more accessible.
| * docs: Get rid of the "basic profiling" guideJonathan Corbet2016-10-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The document has not been touched in over 11 years and doesn't reflect how profiling is done in the perf era. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
| * docs: Get rid of the badRAM guideJonathan Corbet2016-10-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last release of this tool was for 2.6.28; it's hard to see how it has any relevance to current kernels. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
| * docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bitJonathan Corbet2016-10-281-11/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them. One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use :numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC, but it's probably early to do that.
