Thorsten Leemhuis 0043f0b27a docs: reporting-issues.rst: CC subsystem and maintainers on regressions
When reporting a regression, users ideally should CC the subsystem and
its maintainers, as that will ensure they get aware of the regression
quickly. And if the culprit is known, they should also CC everyone who
signed if off; the text mentioned the latter in once place already, but
forgot to do so in two other areas where it's relevant.

While fixing this also remind readers to check the mailing list archives
for issues that need to be reported to a bug tracker, as someone might
have reported it by mail only.

All of this got triggered by a recent report where these changes would
have made a difference.

Matthew Wilcox 80342d484a kernel-doc: Add support for __deprecated
The current linux-next tree has a new error:

Invalid C declaration: Expecting "(" in parameters. [error at 17]
  int __deprecated drm_prime_sg_to_page_array (struct sg_table *sgt, struct page **pages, int max_entries)
  -----------------^

While we might consider that documenting a deprecated interface is not
necessarily best practice, removing the error is easy.

Aditya Srivastava f9bbc12ccb scripts: kernel-doc: improve parsing for kernel-doc comments syntax
Currently kernel-doc does not identify some cases of probable kernel
doc comments, for e.g. pointer used as declaration type for identifier,
space separated identifier, etc.

Some example of these cases in files can be:
i)" *  journal_t * jbd2_journal_init_dev() - creates and initialises a journal structure"
in fs/jbd2/journal.c

ii) "*      dget, dget_dlock -      get a reference to a dentry" in
include/linux/dcache.h

iii) "  * DEFINE_SEQLOCK(sl) - Define a statically allocated seqlock_t"
in include/linux/seqlock.h

Also improve identification for non-kerneldoc comments. For e.g.,

i) " *	The following functions allow us to read data using a swap map"
in kernel/power/swap.c does follow the kernel-doc like syntax, but the
content inside does not adheres to the expected format.

Improve parsing by adding support for these probable attempts to write
kernel-doc comment.

David Gow c797997a24 Documentation: dev-tools: Add Testing Overview
The kernel now has a number of testing and debugging tools, and we've
seen a bit of confusion about what the differences between them are.

Add a basic documentation outlining the testing tools, when to use each,
and how they interact.

This is a pretty quick overview rather than the idealised "kernel
testing guide" that'd probably be optimal, but given the number of times
questions like "When do you use KUnit and when do you use Kselftest?"
are being asked, it seemed worth at least having something. Hopefully
this can form the basis for more detailed documentation later.

Thorsten Leemhuis ad4db83425 MAINTAINERS: add regressions mailing list
Add the newly created regression mailing list finally created after it
already had been agreed on during the maintainers summit 2017 (see
https://lwn.net/Articles/738216/ ). The topic was recently discussed
again, where an idea to create a broader list for all issues was
discussed, but Linus preferred a more targeted list:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wgiYqqLzsb9-UpfH+=ktk7ra-2fOsdc_ZJ7WF47wS73CA@mail.gmail.com/

Hence, the creation for that list was asked for and granted:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212557

In the end it became regressions@lists.linux.dev instead of
linux-regressions@lists.linux.dev as 'Linux' would have been redundant
in the latter case.

translation work.

Anyway, many thanks him/her and Xiyou for their contributions to the early
Chinese translation work!
