Jim Cromie ace7c4bbb2 doc-dyndbg: edit dynamic-debug-howto for brevity, audience
Rework/modernize docs:

 - use /proc/dynamic_debug/control in examples
   its *always* there (when dyndbg is config'd), even when <debugfs> is not.
   drop <debugfs> talk, its a distraction here.

 - alias ddcmd='echo $* > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
   focus on args: declutter, hide boilerplate, make pwd independent.

 - swap sections: Viewing before Controlling. control file as Catalog.

 - focus on use by a system administrator
   add an alias to make examples more readable
   drop grep-101 lessons, admins know this.

 - use init/main.c as 1st example, thread it thru doc where useful.
   everybodys kernel boots, runs these.

 - add *prdbg* api section
   to the bottom of the file, its for developers more than admins.
   move list of api functions there.

 - simplify - drop extra words, phrases, sentences.

 - add "decorator" flags line to unify "prefix", trim fmlt descriptions

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.
