Chris Novakovic says: ==================== ipconfig: NTP server support, bug fixes, documentation improvements This series (against net-next) makes various improvements to ipconfig: - Patch #1 correctly documents the behaviour of parameter 4 in the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" command line parameter. - Patch #2 tidies up the printk()s for reporting configured name servers. - Patch #3 fixes a bug in autoconfiguration via BOOTP whereby the IP addresses of IEN-116 name servers are requested from the BOOTP server, rather than those of DNS name servers. - Patch #4 requests the number of DNS servers specified by CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX when autoconfiguring via BOOTP, rather than hardcoding it to 2. - Patch #5 fully documents the contents and format of /proc/net/pnp in Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt. - Patch #6 fixes a bug whereby bogus information is written to /proc/net/pnp when ipconfig is not used. - Patch #7 creates a new procfs directory for ipconfig-related configuration reports at /proc/net/ipconfig. - Patch #8 allows for NTP servers to be configured (manually on the kernel command line or automatically via DHCP), enabling systems with an NFS root filesystem to synchronise their clock before mounting their root filesystem. NTP server IP addresses are written to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. Changes from v1: - David requested that a new directory /proc/net/ipconfig be created to contain ipconfig-related configuration reports, which is implemented in the new patch #7. NTP server IPs are now written to this directory instead of /proc/net/ntp in the new patch #8. - Cong and David both requested that the modification to CREDITS be dropped. This patch has been removed from the series. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
