2020-07-05doc: add link to sparse's home page/internal docsLuc Van Oostenryck
Sparse's home page used to be a wiki (sparse.wiki.kernel.org) but this wiki only contained a short intro and the release notes. But nowadays, sparse's main page is sparse.docs.kernel.org, which contains all what was in the wiki but also other documentation, mainly oriented about sparse's internals. So, add a link to this in the kernel documentation.

2020-06-26doc: update URL for sparse's tarballsLuc Van Oostenryck
The URL given to get sparse's tarballs is sparse.wiki.kernel.org but the wiki will is deprecated in favor of sparse.docs.kernel.org. So, update this URL to the one where the tarballs can directly be found.

This fell into disrepair a while ago, and the majority of hits to the snapshots were from bots, so it's more trouble to keep running than it's worth. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>

2017-06-08rcu: Remove SPARSE_RCU_POINTER Kconfig optionPaul E. McKenney
The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers has been around for a very long time, and it is now the only type of sparse-based checking that is optional. This commit therefore makes it unconditional. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <[email protected]> Cc: Fengguang Wu <[email protected]>
2017-02-15Improve sparse documentationMatthew Wilcox
Add documentation of -DCONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER. I started to add documentation of -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ as well, but discovered I'm too late; that's now enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <[email protected]>
2016-12-16Documentation/sparse: drop __CHECK_ENDIAN__Michael S. Tsirkin
It's no longer used. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email protected]>
2016-12-16Documentation/sparse: drop __bitwise__Michael S. Tsirkin
We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email protected]>
