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.
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.

In some cases we'd like to indicate the bitwise negation of a parameter, e.g. ~@var This will be helpful for describing the atomic andnot operations, where we'd like to write comments of the form: Atomically updates @v to (@v & ~@i) Which kernel-doc currently transforms to: Atomically updates **v** to (**v** & ~**i**) Rather than the preferable form: Atomically updates **v** to (**v** & **~i**) This is similar to what we did for '!@var' in commit: ee2aa759 ("scripts: kernel-doc: accept negation like !@var") This patch follows the same pattern that commit used to permit a '!' prefix on a param ref, allowing a '~' prefix on a param ref, cuasing kernel-doc to generate the preferred form above.
