Subject: [PATCH 17/33] docs: add ABI documentation to the admin-guide book
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 15:23:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f5898aac8cd8ba74092e557eef4fba5c04173f6e.1603893146.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1603893146.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
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.

+====================
+
+Documents interfaces that are still remaining in the kernel, but are
+marked to be removed at some later point in time.
+
+The description of the interface will document the reason why it is
+obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed.

+ABI testing symbols
+===================
+
+Documents interfaces that are felt to be stable,
+as the main development of this interface has been completed.
+
+The interface can be changed to add new features, but the
+current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave
+errors or security problems are found in them.
+
+Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must
+be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to
+be marked stable.
+
+Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their
+name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel
+developers can easily notify them if any changes occur.
