Merge tag 'docs-5.12' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a relatively quiet cycle in docsland.

   - As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now
     1.7, and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely. That
     allowed the removal of a bunch of compatibility code.

   - A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it
     became clear nobody else was going to deal with them.

   - The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from
     relative paths to RST files.

   - More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes"

 CFS's task picking logic is based on this p->se.vruntime value and it is thus
 very simple: it always tries to run the task with the smallest p->se.vruntime
