Jonathan Corbet 212209cff8 docs: kernel-doc: properly recognize parameter lines with colons
The previous attempt to properly handle literal blocks broke parsing of
parameter lines containing colons; fix it by tweaking the regex to
specifically exclude the "::" pattern while accepting lines containing
colons in general.  Add a little documentation to the regex while in the
neighborhood.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 8d295fbad6 kernel-doc: better handle '::' sequences
Right now, if one of the following headers end with a '::', the
kernel-doc script will do the wrong thing:

	description|context|returns?|notes?|examples?

The real issue is with examples, as people could try to write
something like:

	example::

		/* Some C code */

and this won't be properly evaluated. So, improve the regex
to not catch '\w+::' regex for the above identifiers.

Thorsten Leemhuis 4b9d49d1ec docs: reporting-issues.rst: improved process esp. for stable regressions
Provide a shorter and easier process for users that deal with
regressions in stable and longterm kernels, as those should be reported
quickly.

To realize this in the least-confusing way and without having steps
multiple times in different places, split the 'search for existing
reports' into two. That has the additinal benefit that users will search
for them quickly when going through the step by step guide and thus will
save them trouble if the find reports.

Thorsten Leemhuis 2dfa9eb0ff docs: reporting-issues.rst: tone down 'test vanilla mainline' a little
Tell users that reporting bugs with vendor kernels which are only
slightly patched can be okay in some situations, but point out there's a
risk in doing so.

Adjust some related sections to make them compatible and a bit clearer.
At the same time make them less daunting: we want users to report bugs,
even if they can't test vanilla mainline kernel.
