sphinx: initial sphinx support
This commit is autogenerated pandoc to generate an inital set of reST files based on DocBook XML files. A .rst file is generated for each .xml files in all manuals with this command: cd <manual> for i in *.xml; do \ pandoc -f docbook -t rst --shift-heading-level-by=-1 \ $i -o $(basename $i .xml).rst \ done The conversion was done with: pandoc 2.9.2.1-91 (Arch Linux). Also created an initial top level index file for each document, and added all 'books' to the top leve index.rst file. The YP manuals layout is organized as: Book Chapter Section Section Section Sphinx uses section headers to create the document structure. ReStructuredText defines sections headers like that: To break longer text up into sections, you use section headers. These are a single line of text (one or more words) with adornment: an underline alone, or an underline and an overline together, in dashes "-----", equals "======", tildes "~~~~~~" or any of the non-alphanumeric characters = - ` : ' " ~ ^ _ * + # < > that you feel comfortable with. An underline-only adornment is distinct from an overline-and-underline adornment using the same character. The underline/overline must be at least as long as the title text. Be consistent, since all sections marked with the same adornment style are deemed to be at the same level: Let's define the following convention when converting from Docbook: Book => overline === (Title) Chapter => overline *** (1.) Section => ==== (1.1) Section => ---- (1.1.1) Section => ~~~~ (1.1.1.1) Section => ^^^^ (1.1.1.1.1) During the conversion with pandoc, we used --shift-heading-level=-1 to convert most of DocBook headings automatically. However with this setting, the Chapter header was removed, so I added it back manually. Without this setting all headings were off by one, which was more difficult to manually fix. At least with this change, we now have the same TOC with Sphinx and DocBook.

5Architecture of the Tracing and Profiling Tools
6===============================================

8It may seem surprising to see a section covering an 'overall
9architecture' for what seems to be a random collection of tracing tools
10that together make up the Linux tracing and profiling space. The fact
11is, however, that in recent years this seemingly disparate set of tools
12has started to converge on a 'core' set of underlying mechanisms:
13
14- static tracepoints
15- dynamic tracepoints
16
17 - kprobes
18 - uprobes
19
20- the perf_events subsystem
21- debugfs
22
23.. container:: informalexample
24
25 Tying it Together:
26 Rather than enumerating here how each tool makes use of these common
27 mechanisms, textboxes like this will make note of the specific usages
28 in each tool as they come up in the course of the text.
