Don't know about docs but take *backup* of your data before attempting
the upgrade!

Off the cuff - why stop at 5.5.46?  GA 5.6.x is also available from
Percona's site and 5.7, with performance improvement (claimed by
Oracle), is set to be released in a month or so.

IIRC, MySQL site has release notes and/or docs for upgrades.  I would
suggest you do the migration in smaller steps  i.e. 5.1 to 5.2 and so
forth.
