docs: describe how to quickly build a trimmed kernel
Add a text explaining how to quickly build a kernel, as that's something users will often have to do when they want to report an issue or test proposed fixes. This is a huge and frightening task for quite a few users these days, as many rely on pre-compiled kernels and have never built their own. They find help on quite a few websites explaining the process in various ways, but those howtos often omit important details or make things too hard for the 'quickly build just for testing' case that 'localmodconfig' is really useful for. Hence give users something at hand to guide them, as that makes it easier for them to help with testing, debugging, and fixing the kernel.
To keep the complexity at bay, the document explicitly focuses on how to compile the kernel on commodity distributions running on commodity hardware. People that deal with less common distributions or hardware will often know their way around already anyway.
The text describes a few oddities of Arch and Debian that were found by the author and a few volunteers that tested the described procedure. There are likely more such quirks that need to be covered as well as a few things the author will have missed -- but one has to start somewhere.
The document heavily uses anchors and links to them, which makes things slightly harder to read in the source form. But the intended target audience is way more likely to read rendered versions of this text on pages like docs.kernel.org anyway -- and there those anchors and links allow easy jumps to the reference section and back, which makes the document a lot easier to work with for the intended target audience.
Aspects relevant for bisection were left out on purpose, as that is a related, but in the end different use case. The rough plan is to have a second document with a similar style to cover bisection. The idea is to reuse a few bits from this document and link quite often to entries in the reference section with the help of the anchors in this text.

Documentation/security-bugs: move from admin-guide/ to process/
Jiri Kosina, Jonathan Corbet, and Willy Tarreau all expressed a desire to move this document under process/.
Create a new section for security issues in the index and group it with embargoed-hardware-issues.
I'm doing this at the start of the series to make all the subsequent changes show up in 'git blame'.
Existing references were updated using:
git grep -l security-bugs ':!Documentation/translations/' | xargs sed -i 's|admin-guide/security-bugs|process/security-bugs|g' git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i 's|Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs|Documentation/process/security-bugs|g' git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i '/Original:/s|\.\./admin-guide/security-bugs|\.\./process/security-bugs|g'
Notably, the page is not moved in the translations (due to my lack of knowledge of these languages), but the translations have been updated to point to the new location of the original document where these references exist.

docs: add two documents about regression handling
Create two documents explaining various aspects around regression handling and tracking; one is aimed at users, the other targets developers.
The texts among others describes the first rule of Linux kernel development and what it means in practice. They also explain what a regression actually is and how to report one properly.
Both texts additionally provide a brief introduction to the bot the kernel's regression tracker uses to facilitate the work, but mention the use is optional.
To sum things up, provide a few quotes from Linus in the document for developers to show how serious we take regressions.

docs: Add a new text describing how to report bugs
Add a mostly finished document describing how to report issues with the Linux kernel to its developers. It is designed to be a lot more straight forward and easier to follow than the current text about this (Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst); at the same time the new text should be more helpful for people unfamiliar with the topic, as it provides a lot more details, too.
The main work on the text is done, but some polishing is still needed. The text also needs to be reviewed by more people and a few issues still might need some discussion. To make these tasks easier, it was decided ([1]) to add this document to the kernel sources in parallel to the existing text; the latter will be removed once this text is considered good enough(tm).
This document is quite long and provides a lot of details, but was carefully crafted to make sure it's can also serve people that are in a hurry. That's mainly achieved by having a TDLR and a step-by-step guide, which should be good enough for quite a lot of people. Everybody that wants or need more explanations can find them in a reference section, which describes all the needed steps in detail.
Thanks to this structure the text can work for kernel developers that just need to look something up, experienced FLOSS contributors that are unfamiliar with the kernel's bug reporting workflow, and users reporting something upstream for the first time. The text is thus a bit like the kernel itself, which works well for embedded machines, a typical desktop PC, cloud servers, and HPC.
The document was written in the hope it will improve the quality of the bug reports, especially those that come from people unfamiliar with how Linux kernel development works. Sadly quite a few reports from this group are currently of poor quality and/or get submitted to the wrong place. Part of the problem is the old reporting-bugs document, as it makes its essence hard to grasp; it's and also inaccurate and slightly outdated in a few spots. Due to this quite a few valid reports are ignored in the end, which is annoying for those that compiled them and bad for the kernel's quality.
The document near the top points out that it's still unfinished, but nevertheless ready for consumption. Those few areas in the text that might need some further discussion contain a note pointing this out. Besides lack of review from core developers there is only one major issue left: the section 'Decode failure message' is known to be outdated: it's waiting for someone familiar with the topic to write something up or give at least provide some hints and pointers what to write there.
The new document is dual-licensed under GPL-2.0+ or CC-BY-4.0. The latter is way more liberal and makes it attractive to use this text as a base when writing about this topic on websites or in books. This hopefully increases the chances that such texts are accurate and stick to official way of doing things.

wimax: move out to staging
There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether. As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the www.linuxwimax.org site had already shut down earlier.
WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks ("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order to make it possible to port patches across the move.
Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing list and website.

media: docs: move user-facing docs to the admin guide
Most of the driver-specific documentation is meant to help users of the media subsystem.
Move them to the admin-guide.
It should be noticed, however, that several of those files are outdated and will require further work in order to make them useful again.

Documentation: convert nfs.txt to ReST
This patch converts nfs.txt to RST. It also moves it to admin-guide. The reason for moving it is because this document contains information useful for system administrators, as noted on the following paragraph:
'The purpose of this document is to provide information on some of the special features of the NFS client that can be configured by system administrators'.

docs: fs: cifs: convert to ReST and add to admin-guide book
The filenames for cifs documentation is not using the same convention as almost all Kernel documents is using. So, rename them to a more appropriate name. Then, manually convert the documentation files for CIFS to ReST.
By doing a manual conversion, we can preserve the original author's style, while making it to look more like the other Kernel documents.
Most of the conversion here is trivial. The most complex one was the README file (which was renamed to usage.rst).
