The circular-buffers.txt is already in ReST format. So, move it to the
core-api guide, where it belongs.

Matthew Wilcox 14ebc28e07 errseq: Add to documentation tree
- Move errseq.rst into core-api
 - Add errseq to the core-api index
 - Promote the header to a more prominent header type, otherwise we get three
   entries in the table of contents.
 - Reformat the table to look nicer and be a little more proportional in
   terms of horizontal width per bit (the SF bit is still disproportionately
   large, but there's no way to fix that).
 - Include errseq kernel-doc in the errseq.rst
 - Neaten some kernel-doc markup

Tobin C. Harding b3ed23213e doc: convert printk-formats.txt to rst
Documentation/printk-formats.txt is a candidate for conversion to
ReStructuredText format. Some effort has already been made to do this
conversion even thought the suffix is currently .txt

Changes required to complete conversion

 - Move printk-formats.txt to core-api/printk-formats.rst
 - Add entry to Documentation/core-api/index.rst
 - Remove entry from Documentation/00-INDEX
 - Fix minor grammatical errors.
 - Order heading adornments as suggested by rst docs.
 - Use 'Passed by reference' uniformly.
 - Update pointer documentation around %px specifier.
 - Fix erroneous double backticks (to commas).
 - Remove extraneous double backticks (suggested by Jonathan Corbet).
 - Simplify documentation for kobject.

Elena Reshetova b6e859f6cd docs: refcount_t documentation
Some functions from refcount_t API provide different
memory ordering guarantees that their atomic counterparts.
This adds a document outlining these differences (
Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst) as well as
some other minor improvements.

Jonathan Corbet 7ee8adcf27 doc: Add documentation for the genalloc subsystem
Genalloc/genpool has kerneldoc comments, but nothing has ever been pulled
into the docs themselves.  Here's a first attempt, repurposed from an
article I wrote at https://lwn.net/Articles/729653/.

Jonathan Corbet 93dc3a112b doc: Convert the debugobjects DocBook template to sphinx
A couple of the most minor heading tweaks, otherwise no changes to the text
itself beyond the mechanical conversion.

Note that the inclusion of the kerneldoc comments from the source has never
worked, since exported symbols were asked for and none of those functions
are exported to modules.  It doesn't work here either :)
