[WATCHDOG] doc: Fix use of WDIOC_SETOPTIONS ioctl.

2010-04-06T14:23:55+00:00

In the watchdog-test program and watchdog-api.txt, pass the values to
the WDIOC_SETOPTIONS ioctl as a pointer to an integer containing the
values intead of directly in the third ioctl argument. The actual
watchdog drivers in drivers/watchdog don't read the options directly
from the argument but use get_user and copy_from_user.

docsrc: build Documentation/ sources

2008-08-12T23:07:30+00:00

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them.  This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.

Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources.  Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.
