Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It has been a not-too-busy cycle for docs; here's the highlights:
- A (hopefully) consensus change to our LLM-attribution requirements,
removing the specific model name from the Assisted-by tag
- A couple of new realtime documents
- Various docs-build-system fixes
- Ongoing work with the Chinese, Portuguese, and Japanese
translations
...and lots of typo fixes, grammar tweaks, etc"

Due to the increasing capabilities of available AI models, it's becoming
common to see them used to find bugs anywhere. Unfortunately the quality
of reports (especially when they're believed to be security relevant) is
still lacking a lot.
Let's add a section dedicated to bug finding, explaining the few
mandatory steps (noting commit ID, writing the fix from the session that
found the bug, building and testing, etc). This was tested both against
Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-Polaris2-Fable-B-F451 running under Hermes, and
Opus-5, and both followed the instructions to the letter, verifying
their results and checking threat-model.rst to decline the vulnerability
aspect. At least in the current form it's expected to improve the
situation a little bit.

The requirement to identify specific models used in the Assisted-by tag
provides free advertising to proprietary software companies while adding
little or no useful information. Change the requirement to simply:
Assisted-by: LLM
to capture the fact that an LLM was used without tracking which one.

Both of these guidelines are complimentary to one another - one specifying
guidelines on AI coding assistants, and the other specifying those for
tool-generated content.
Since they are complimentary to one another, provide a link to each in the
other.

Add guidance for AI assistants and developers using AI tools for kernel
contributions, per the consensus reached at the 2025 Maintainers Summit.
Create Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst with detailed guidance
on licensing, Signed-off-by requirements, and attribution format. The
README points AI tools to this documentation.
This will allow coding assistants to easily parse these instructions and
comply with guidelines set by the community.
