* kernel-dev: Applied review feedbackScott Rifenbark2017-10-161-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | Various edits for review feedback on the manual in general. (From yocto-docs rev: 218061535b5bed326331d00eee6f514c81299238) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

* kernel-dev: Updated kernel configuration sectionScott Rifenbark2017-10-061-0/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | A lot of rewriting here in this section to get it up to speed. Also, moved that final section on determining hardware and non-hardware features into an appendix where it belonged.

* kernel-dev: Updated list of kernel repositories to have 4.12 and cacheScott Rifenbark2017-09-131-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | I added the linux-yocto-4.12 kernel repository and the linux-yocto-cache repository to the list of Yocto Linux Kernel repositories in the Source Repositories.

* kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Kernel prep stepsScott Rifenbark2017-09-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dev-manual had a place-holder section for getting the build host ready for using YP and then doing kernel development. This stuff is better suited for the actual kernel development manual. I moved the section. Moving created several broken links in the manual set that had to be fixed. In the dev-manual, I updated the introductory list to include the newly moved kernel stuff.

* dev-manual, kernel-dev, sdk-manual: Moved patching kernel sectionScott Rifenbark2017-09-021-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moved the "Patching the Kernel" section, which was in the dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual. During the move, renamed the section to "Using devtool to Patch the Kernel". This move bothered a lot of links so I had to fix them in various manuals.

* kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Kernel workflow section to kernel-devScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The overview section of modifying the kernel needed to be in the kernel-dev manual and not in the dev-manual. I moved it and took care of all the links and external references throughout the YP doc set. One figure was involved that had to be moved to the figures folder in kernel-dev from dev-manual. That is why the Makefile had to be edited.

* dev-manual, kernel-dev: Moved the kernel build hierarchy sectionScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-0/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section that presented the Yocto Linux kernel file structure resulting from a build using BitBake needed to be in the kernel-dev manual. I moved it over. This required transferring over a figure as well.

* kernel-dev: Re-write of Yocto Linux Architecture and Branch StrategiesScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-182/+192
| | | | | | | | | | | | This section in Appepndix A was full of redundancies used to explain how the Yocto Project kernel development team has set up branching and kernel architecture. I consolidated a couple sub-sections into just the necessary single section.

* kernel-dev: Inserted section on Git as a relavent noteScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-28/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | Appendix A of the kernel-dev had a subsection dedicated to just saying Git was the SCM used by the YP team for development. Having this information in a dedicated section was overkill. The information is better as an "aside". I put the stuff in a note.

* dev-manual, kernel-dev: Moved kernel branch concepts to kernel-devScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-41/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The information in the dev-manual kernel overview area really neeeds to be in the Appendix on kernel structure in the kernel-dev manual. I moved that informtaion to the appendix. Removal of one redundant image was necessary from the dev-manual. The figure was literally repeated in the kernel manual already under a different file name.

* kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Yocto Linux kernel overviewScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-59/+148
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] I took the Yocto Linux kernel overview list of kernels out of the dev-manual and moved them to the "Yocto Project Kernel Development and Maintenance" section in Appendix A of the kernel-dev manual. This is a much more logical area to introduce this type of Yocto Linux kernel information.

* documentation: Moved "Git" section to the ref-manualScott Rifenbark2017-06-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The "Git" section in the dev-manual is really about concepts. There are a couple of examples that might or not might be allowed to ultimately stay. I have moved the section to the ref-manual. If those examples get replicated in the new dev-manual, I will update the "Git" section further. For now, however, these remain in this moved section.

* kernel-dev: Added "Kernel Architecture" section.Scott Rifenbark2013-01-301-0/+164
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moved the "Kernel Architecture" section from the YP Kernel Architecture and Use Manual to this manual. The section included the kernel-architecture-overview.png figure. So, I added that PNG file to the "figures" folder. Finally, I had to also add the PNG file to the Makefile tarfile list for kernel-dev. Note that because the figure was part of the old YP Kernel Architecture and Use Manual, I did not have to add the figure to the mega-manual tarfile list.
