Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Documentation for eBPF helpers can be parsed from bpf.h and eventually turned into a man page. Commit 6f96674d ("bpf: relax constraints on formatting for eBPF helper documentation") changed the script used to parse it, in order to allow for different indent style and to ease the work for writing documentation for future helpers. The script currently considers that the first tab can be replaced by 6 to 8 spaces. But the documentation for bpf_fib_lookup() uses a mix of tabs (for the "Description" part) and of spaces ("Return" part), and only has 5 space long indent for the latter. We probably do not want to change the values accepted by the script each time a new helper gets a new indent style. However, it is worth noting that with those 5 spaces, the "Description" and "Return" part *look* aligned in the generated patch and in `git show`, so it is likely other helper authors will use the same length. Therefore, allow for helper documentation to use 5 spaces only for the first indent level. Signed-off-by:Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com> Signed-off-by:
