So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
trouble.

Documentation/process: kernel maintainer PGP guide This guide is an adapted version of the more general "Protecting Code Integrity" guide written and maintained by The Linux Foundation IT for use with open-source projects. It provides the oft-lacking guidance on the following topics: - how to properly protect one's PGP keys to minimize the risks of them being stolen and used maliciously to impersonate a kernel developer - how to configure Git to properly use GnuPG - when and how to use PGP with Git - how to verify fellow Linux Kernel developer identities I believe this document should live with the rest of the documentation describing proper processes one should follow when participating in kernel development. Placing it in a wiki on some place like kernel.org would be insufficient for a number of reasons -- primarily, because only a relatively small subset of maintainers have accounts on kernel.org, but also because even those who do rarely remember that such wiki exists. Keeping it with the rest of in-kernel docs should hopefully give it more visibility, but also help keep it up-to-date as tools and processes evolve.

kernel-enforcement-statement
Documentation: add Kernel Driver Statement to the kernel Way back in 2008 we didn't have "robust" in-kernel documentation system, so the idea of putting something like the kernel driver statement in the kernel tree wasn't even imagined. But now that has changed, so add the old document to the kernel source itself to allow for us to properly reference it in one canonical place (as the LF wiki keeps moving things around.) This also will allow people to add their names to it, as I seem to have lost the ability to do that by not knowing how to edit things on the original document.

Dealing with bugs
-----------------
Bugs are a fact of life; it is important that we handle them properly.
The documents below describe our policies around the handling of a couple
of special classes of bugs: regressions and security problems.
Documentation/security-bugs: move from admin-guide/ to process/ Jiri Kosina, Jonathan Corbet, and Willy Tarreau all expressed a desire to move this document under process/. Create a new section for security issues in the index and group it with embargoed-hardware-issues. I'm doing this at the start of the series to make all the subsequent changes show up in 'git blame'. Existing references were updated using: git grep -l security-bugs ':!Documentation/translations/' | xargs sed -i 's|admin-guide/security-bugs|process/security-bugs|g' git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i 's|Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs|Documentation/process/security-bugs|g' git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i '/Original:/s|\.\./admin-guide/security-bugs|\.\./process/security-bugs|g' Notably, the page is not moved in the translations (due to my lack of knowledge of these languages), but the translations have been updated to point to the new location of the original document where these references exist.

Create a new section for security issues in the index and group it with embargoed-hardware-issues. I'm doing this at the start of the series to make all the subsequent changes show up in 'git blame'. Existing references were updated using: git grep -l security-bugs ':!Documentation/translations/' | xargs sed -i 's|admin-guide/security-bugs|process/security-bugs|g' git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i 's|Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs|Documentation/process/security-bugs|g' git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i '/Original:/s|\.\./admin-guide/security-bugs|\.\./process/security-bugs|g' Notably, the page is not moved in the translations (due to my lack of knowledge of these languages), but the translations have been updated to point to the new location of the original document where these references exist.

embargoed-hardware-issues
A reworked process/index.rst The process book is arguably the most important documentation we have; the top three trafficked pages on docs.kernel.org are found here. Make a beginning effort to impose a more useful organization on this page to ease developers into the community.
