I'd break it up into logical pieces (i.e., chapters...)
Yup, already in my todo list.
The lines are way too long for easy reading.
Ok, I'll try to work on it.
There are several other tools to check kernel quality: sparse, the
lockcheck, ... And don't forget about the various debugging config options
Mmmh... Right, but the goal of the document was mainly to document the
process not the tools. However, that's a good comment.
There are required tools for serious kernel development, i.e. git and its
entournage. Link to them.
Ok.
You mention that patches cook in -mm for a while, but you don't tell what
that is beforehand. In general, a high-level overview of the current
git-based development would be useful, and the various important git kernel
trees and the patch flow among them.
Ok.
Don't be shy in mentioning the stuff under Documentation in your nearest
kernel source!
Right.
Perhaps do an asccidoc format, to be able to create HTML?
Sure, but I don't know how to do it.
Patches are more then welcome :-)
Thank you for your valuable comments!!
