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 emacs 23.1 support for directory-local variables was added (see also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2009-07/msg00000.html ). Simplify the settings in coding-style.rst by using that feature. Additionally, do not inherit any settings from emacs' linux coding style to minimize dependencies on the version of emacs that is being used. I have verified with several large and nontrivial kernel source files that the new settings format code according to what checkpatch expects.
