From f7f84f38cd916552c175f1f3d09cb6e85c1b29fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 12:15:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] docbook: split kernel-api for device-drivers The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.) The chapters that were moved from kernel-api to device-drivers are: Driver Basics Device drivers infrastructure Parallel Port Devices Message-based devices Sound Devices 16x50 UART Driver Frame Buffer Library Input Subsystem Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) I2C and SMBus Subsystem Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Documentation/DocBook/Makefile | 2 +- Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl | 418 ++++++++++++++++++++++ Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl | 377 ------------------- 3 files changed, 419 insertions(+), 378 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl diff --git a/Documentation/DocBook/Makefile b/Documentation/DocBook/Makefile index dc3154e49279..1462ed86d40a 100644 --- a/Documentation/DocBook/Makefile +++ b/Documentation/DocBook/Makefile @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ # To add a new book the only step required is to add the book to the # list of DOCBOOKS. -DOCBOOKS := z8530book.xml mcabook.xml \ +DOCBOOKS := z8530book.xml mcabook.xml device-drivers.xml \ kernel-hacking.xml kernel-locking.xml deviceiobook.xml \ procfs-guide.xml writing_usb_driver.xml networking.xml \ kernel-api.xml filesystems.xml lsm.xml usb.xml kgdb.xml \ diff --git a/Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl b/Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..94a20fe8fedf --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl @@ -0,0 +1,418 @@ + + + + + + Linux Device Drivers + + + + This documentation is free software;
