Documentation/cdrom: fix German sharp s in LaTex

2018-03-09T02:35:29+00:00

Apparently the LaTex abbreviation for the German "sharp s" (ß)
(Unicode U+00DF) has changed from {\sz} to {\ss}.  With {\sz},
I get this error at line 1016 (line number after another patch):

! Undefined control sequence.
l.1016 ...nel~2.0.  Further thanks to Heiko Ei{\sz
                                                  }feldt,

This is fixed by changing the {\sz} to {\ss}.

Documentation/cdrom: update cdrom-standard.tex for kernel changes

2018-03-09T02:35:27+00:00

Documentation updates for Documentation/cdrom/cdrom-standard.tex:

cdrom_device_ops:
- add check_events() and generic_packet()

cdrom_device_info:
- add one 'const' modifier
- correct some field descriptions
- add some missing fields
- drop 'kdev_t dev;' field

Also drop  sentence from documentation because it is not
referenced anywhere in the kernel header or C files.

documentation: Update ide-cd documentation to reflect CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE removal

2017-10-12T17:25:31+00:00

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE was removed in commit 80aa31cb460d ("ide:
remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option (take 2)") but the ide-cd
documentation was not updated and still asks users to disable it,
which is misleading and involves a fruitless search.

cdrom: Make device operations read-only

2017-02-14T15:29:56+00:00

Since function tables are a common target for attackers, it's best to keep
them in read-only memory. As such, this makes the CDROM device ops tables
const. This drops additionally n_minors, since it isn't used meaningfully,
and sets the only user of cdrom_dummy_generic_packet explicitly so the
variables can all be const.

Inspired by similar changes in grsecurity/PaX.

doc: fix broken references

2011-09-27T16:08:04+00:00

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

Documentation: update broken web addresses.

2010-08-04T13:21:40+00:00

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

ide: doc: remove compilation options section from ide-cd documentation

2009-12-14T04:41:53+00:00

This section pointed out to compilation options which no longer exist.

VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS has been replace by config option
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD_VERBOSE_ERRORS.

STANDARD_ATAPI is no longer needed, since the non-standard drivers, which
required bcd2bin are now detected, and there's a flag for them.

NO_DOOR_LOCKING is now a sysctl parameter for cdrom drivers.

CDROM_NBLOCKS_BUFFER is not used anymore. The READAUDIO is now in cdrom.c and it
allocates as much as user space has requested to read, backing off if it fails.

TEST is not there anymore or in cdrom either. ide allows to send ATA commands
through ioctl, although it may be helpful to send MMC packets through the cdrom
layer directly.

debugfs: Fix terminology inconsistency of dir name to mount debugfs filesystem.

2009-06-16T04:30:28+00:00

Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.

debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah
hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name
of debugfs filesystem.
- debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/

Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem.

Now unregister_cdrom() always returns 0.
