    Subject[PATCH v1 0/3] docs: verify/bisect: fine tuning, testing fixes, and using a build host
    Date
    A quick series with various improvements for
    Documentation/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.rst.

    * The first patch contains various fixes and some fine tuning.

    * The second adds a few instructions for later testing of reverts,
    fixes, or newer versions. This was already hinted at; but during some
    early work on Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst to better
    reconcile the two it seemed wise to cover this properly here.

    * The third patch briefly outlines how to build kernels on a different
    host; it came into being after a second user within one week asked for
    this. That also allowed the text to briefly cover cross-compilation.

    Hi! While at it let me mention one more thing unrelated to the changes
    where I'm unsure if the current approach by the text was a wise choice:

    * Should the document tell users to avoid mainline during merge windows?

    Some input from the community on this would be splendid.

    Ciao, Thorsten

    P.S.: Not totally sure, but I think this should go into 6.9 as this is
    a new document; but I can split this up if the two latter patches better
    should go into -next.

    Thorsten Leemhuis (3):
    docs: verify/bisect: git switch; proper headlines; various fixes;
    docs: verify/bisect: explain testing reverts, patches and newer code
    docs: verify/bisect: describe how to use a build host
