The command-line parameters "dyndbg" and "async_probe" are not
parameters for kernel/module.c but instead they are for the
module that is being loaded. Try to make that distinction in the
help text.
OTOH, "module.sig_enforce" is handled as a parameter of kernel/module.c
so "module." is correct for it.

kernel-doc: add support for ____cacheline_aligned attribute
Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for
output. `____cacheline_aligned` is an attribute that is
not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.
Based on previous patch to add ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp.
Motivated by patches to reorder this attribute to before the
variable name. Whilst we could do that in all cases, that would
be a massive change and it is more common in the kernel to place
this particular attribute after the variable name. A quick grep
suggests approximately 400 instances of which 341 have this
attribute just before a semicolon and hence after the variable name.

docs: Add automatic cross-reference for documentation pages
Cross-referencing to other documentation pages is possible using the
:doc:`doc-file` directive from Sphinx.
Add automatic markup for references to other documentation pages in the
format Documentation/subfolder/doc-file.rst (the extension being
optional).
This requires that the path be passed all the way from the Documentation
folder, which can be longer than passing a relative path through the
:doc: directive, but avoids the markup, making the text cleaner when
read in plain text.
The automarkup script previously matched expressions and substituted
them with markup to enable automatic cross-reference all in the same
function.
Split the expression matching iteration and the markup substitution into
different functions to make it easier to add new regular expressions and
functions to treat each of them.
Because it is using {devm_}foo notation. Well, this is not
a valid kernel-doc notation. Also, it prevents creating hyperlinks
to other documentation functions.

Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:336: WARNING: undefined label: documentation/process/email-clients.rst (if the link has no caption the label must precede a section header)
Those are due to some recent renames and file moves.
It turns that maintaining :ref: is currently harder than using
:doc:, as we now have a script to help checking such references.
So, replace :ref: to :doc: there, making them to point to the
current file name.

Git is fairly ubiquitous these days, and the additional information in

appreciate receiving unexpected request-pulls from new contributors.
The repeated sign-offs necessary when a subsystem maintainer modifies an
incoming patch has been moved from submitting-patches.rst to
Documentation/maintainer, since the affairs of a subsystem maintainer
are not especially relevant to someone reading a guide for how to submit
their first patch.
This adds a link to https://useplaintext.email to email-clients.rst,
which is a more exhaustive resource on configuring various mail clients
for plain text use. submitting-patches.rst is also updated to direct
readers to email-clients.rst to equip new contributors with the
requisite knowledge to become a good participant on the mailing lists.
In order to cross-reference C types in the documentation, Sphinx
requires the syntax :c:type:`type_name`, or even :c:type:`struct
type_name <type_name>` in order to have the link text different from the
target text.
Extend automarkup to enable automatic cross-reference of C types by
matching any "struct|union|enum|typedef type_name" expression.

cross-reference to types without any additional effort by the author.

Documentation: clarify driver licensing rules
Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license
choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances
did not always advance the aims of the submitters.
But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses)
a bit confused. They have read things like
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says:
individual source files can have a different license
which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0
and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst:
We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing,
and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under
multiple licenses.
As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in
practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make
a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does
not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply
GPLv2-compatible.
Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix
the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations.
