This patch splits up the rust helpers C file. When rebasing patch sets on upstream linux, merge conflicts in helpers.c is common and time consuming [1]. Thus, split the file so that each kernel component can live in a separate file. This patch lists helper files explicitly and thus conflicts in the file list is still likely. However, they should be more simple to resolve than the conflicts usually seen in helpers.c. [ Removed `README.md` and undeleted the original comment since now, in v3 of the series, we have a `helpers.c` again; which also allows us to keep the "Sorted alphabetically" line and makes the diff easier. In addition, updated the Documentation/ mentions of the file, reworded title and removed blank lines at the end of `page.c`. - Miguel ] Link: https://rust-for-linux.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/288089-General/topic/Splitting.20up.20helpers.2Ec/near/426694012 [1] Signed-off-by: Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> Acked-by: Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@de.bosch.com> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240815103016.2771842-1-nmi@metaspace.dk Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
