There are some regex expressions in the kernel-doc script, which are used
repeatedly in the script.
Reduce such expressions into variables, which can be used everywhere.
A quick manual check found that no errors and warnings were added/removed
in this process.

Currently kernel-doc does not identify some cases of probable kernel
doc comments, for e.g. pointer used as declaration type for identifier,
space separated identifier, etc.
Some example of these cases in files can be:
i)" * journal_t * jbd2_journal_init_dev() - creates and initialises a journal structure"
in fs/jbd2/journal.c
ii) "* dget, dget_dlock - get a reference to a dentry" in
include/linux/dcache.h
iii) " * DEFINE_SEQLOCK(sl) - Define a statically allocated seqlock_t"
in include/linux/seqlock.h
Also improve identification for non-kerneldoc comments. For e.g.,
i) " * The following functions allow us to read data using a swap map"
in kernel/power/swap.c does follow the kernel-doc like syntax, but the
content inside does not adheres to the expected format.
Improve parsing by adding support for these probable attempts to write
kernel-doc comment.

Currently, kernel-doc start parsing the comment as a kernel-doc comment if
it starts with '/**', but does not take into account if the content inside
the comment too, adheres with the expected format.
This results in unexpected and unclear warnings for the user.
E.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none mm/memcontrol.c emits:
"mm/memcontrol.c:961: warning: expecting prototype for do not fallback to current(). Prototype was for get_mem_cgroup_from_current() instead"
Here kernel-doc parses the corresponding comment as a kernel-doc comment
and expects prototype for it in the next lines, and as a result causing
this warning.
Provide a clearer warning message to the users regarding the same, if the
content inside the comment does not follow the kernel-doc expected format.

Kernel-doc currently expects that the kernel-doc markup to come
just before the function/enum/struct/union/typedef prototype.
Yet, if it find things like:
/**
* refcount_add - add a value to a refcount
* @i: the value to add to the refcount
* @r: the refcount
*/
static inline void __refcount_add(int i, refcount_t *r, int *oldp);
static inline void refcount_add(int i, refcount_t *r);
Kernel-doc will do the wrong thing:
foobar.h:6: warning: Function parameter or member 'oldp' not described in '__refcount_add'
.. c:function:: void __refcount_add (int i, refcount_t *r, int *oldp)
add a value to a refcount
**Parameters**
``int i``
the value to add to the refcount
``refcount_t *r``
the refcount
``int *oldp``
*undescribed*
Basically, it will document "__refcount_add" with the kernel-doc
markup for refcount_add.
If both functions have the same arguments, this won't even
produce any warning!
Add a logic to check if the kernel-doc identifier matches the actual
name of the C function or data structure that will be documented.

Address several issues related to pointing to the wrong line
number:
1) ensure that line numbers will always be initialized
When section is the default (Description), the line number
is not initializing, producing this:
$ ./scripts/kernel-doc --enable-lineno ./drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-mem2mem.c|less
**Description**
#define LINENO 0
In case of streamoff or release called on any context,
1] If the context is currently running, then abort job will be called
2] If the context is queued, then the context will be removed from
the job_queue
Which is not right. Ensure that the line number will always
be there. After applied, the result now points to the right location:
**Description**
#define LINENO 410
In case of streamoff or release called on any context,
1] If the context is currently running, then abort job will be called
2] If the context is queued, then the context will be removed from
the job_queue
2) The line numbers for function prototypes are always + 1,
because it is taken at the line after handling the prototype.
Change the logic to point to the next line after the /** */
block;
3) The "DOC:" line number should point to the same line as this
markup is found, and not to the next one.
Probably part of the issues were due to a but that was causing
the line number offset to be incremented by one, if --export

When kernel-doc is called via kerneldoc.py, there's no need to
auto-detect the Sphinx version, as the Sphinx module already

Sphinx dialect.
As kernel-doc can also be manually called, keep the auto-detection
logic if the parameter was not specified. On such case, emit
a warning if sphinx-build can't be found at PATH.
I ended using a suggestion from Joe for using a more readable

While kernel-doc needs to parse parameters in order to
identify its name, it shouldn't be touching the type,
as parsing it is very difficult, and errors happen.
One current error is when parsing this parameter:
const u32 (*tab)[256]
Found at ./lib/crc32.c, on this function:
u32 __pure crc32_be_generic (u32 crc, unsigned char const *p, size_t len, const u32 (*tab)[256], u32 polynomial);
The current logic mangles it, producing this output:
const u32 ( *tab

when printing the function prototype and when describing

Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for

not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.
Based on previous patch to add ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp.
Motivated by patches to reorder this attribute to before the
variable name. Whilst we could do that in all cases, that would
be a massive change and it is more common in the kernel to place
this particular attribute after the variable name. A quick grep
suggests approximately 400 instances of which 341 have this
attribute just before a semicolon and hence after the variable name.

The kbuild bot recently added the W=1 option, which triggered
documentation cleanups to squelch hundreds of kernel-doc warnings.
To make sure new kernel contributions don't add regressions to
kernel-doc descriptors, this patch suggests an option to treat
warnings as errors in CI/automated tests.
A -Werror command-line option is added to the kernel-doc script. When
this option is set, the script will return the number of warnings
found. The caller can then treat this positive return value as an
error and stop the build.
Using this command line option is however not straightforward when the
kernel-doc script is called from other scripts. To align with typical
kernel compilation or documentation generation, the Werror option is
also set by checking the KCFLAGS environment variable, or if
KDOC_WERROR is defined, as in the following examples:
KCFLAGS="-Wall -Werror" make W=1 sound/
KCFLAGS="-Wall -Werror" make W=1 drivers/soundwire/
KDOC_WERROR=1 make htmldocs
Note that in the last example the documentation build does not stop,
only an additional log is provided.

./drivers/firewire/core-transaction.c:606: WARNING: Inline strong start-string without end-string.
In this specific case, the kernel-doc markup is:
/**
* fw_core_remove_address_handler() - unregister an address handler
* @handler: callback
*
* To be called in process context.
*
* When fw_core_remove_address_handler() returns, @handler->callback() is
* guaranteed to not run on any CPU anymore.
*/
With seems valid on my eyes. So, instead of trying to hack
the kernel-doc markup, let's teach it about how to handle
such things. This should likely remove lots of other similar
warnings as well.

When kernel-doc generates a 'c:function' directive for a function
one of whose arguments is a function pointer, it fails to print
the close-paren after the argument list of the function pointer
argument. For instance:
long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn) (void *, void * arg)
in driver-api/basics.html is missing a ')' separating the
"void *" of the 'fn' arguments from the ", void * arg" which
is an argument to work_on_cpu().
Add the missing close-paren, so that we render the prototype
correctly:
long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn)(void *), void * arg)
(Note that Sphinx stops rendering a space between the '(fn*)' and the
'(void *)' once it gets something that's syntactically valid.)

Currently, when kernel-doc encounters a macro with a named variable
argument[1], such as this:
#define hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(pos, head, member, cond...)
... it expects the variable argument to be documented as `cond...`,
rather than `cond`. This is semantically wrong, because the name (as
used in the macro body) is actually `cond`.
With this patch, kernel-doc will accept the name without dots (`cond`
in the example above) in doc comments, and warn if the name with dots
(`cond...`) is used and verbose mode[2] is enabled.
The support for the `cond...` syntax can be removed later, when the
documentation of all such macros has been switched to the new syntax.
Testing this patch on top of v5.4-rc6, `make htmldocs` shows a few
changes in log output and HTML output:
1) The following warnings[3] are eliminated:
./include/linux/rculist.h:374: warning:
Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'list_for_each_entry_rcu'
./include/linux/rculist.h:651: warning:
Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'hlist_for_each_entry_rcu'
2) For list_for_each_entry_rcu and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, the
correct description is shown
3) Named variable arguments are shown without dots

Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for
output. `____cacheline_aligned_in_smp` is an attribute that is
not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.

The current regular expression for strip attributes of structs (and
for nested ones as well) also removes all whitespaces that may
surround the attribute. After that, the code will split structs and
iterate for each symbol separated by comma at the end of struct
definition (e.g. "} alias1, alias2;"). However, if the nested struct
does not have any alias and has an attribute, it will result in a
empty string at the closing bracket (e.g "};"). This will make the
split return nothing and $newmember will keep uninitialized. Fix
that, by ensuring that the attribute substitution will leave at least
one whitespace.

We now have better automarkup in sphinx itself and, besides, this markup
was incorrect and left :c:func: gunk in the processed docs. Sort of
discouraging that nobody ever noticed...:)
As a first step toward the removal of impenetrable regex magic from
kernel-doc it's a tiny one, but you have to start somewhere.

The "no structured comments found" warning is not particularly useful if
there are several invocations, one of which is looking for something
wrong. So if something specific has been requested, make it clear that
it's the one we weren't able to find.

The ability to add kerneldoc comments for fields in embedded structures is
useful, but it brought along a whole bunch of warnings for fields that
could not be described before. In many cases, there's little value in
adding docs for these nested fields, and in cases like:
struct a {
struct b {
int c;
} d, e;
};
"c" would have to be described twice (as d.c and e.c) to make the warnings
go away.
We can no doubt do something smarter, but simply suppressing the warnings
for this case removes about 70 warnings from the docs build, freeing us to
focus on the ones that matter more. So make kerneldoc be silent about
missing descriptions for any field containing a ".".

The kernel-doc attempts to clear the struct and struct member attributes
from the API documentation it produces. It falls short of the job in the
following respects:
- extra whitespaces are left where __attribute__((...)) was removed,
- only a single attribute is removed per struct,
- attributes (such as aligned) containing numbers were not removed,
- attributes are only cleared from struct fields, not structs themselves.
This patch addresses these issues by removing the attributes.

Make declaration type determination more robust.
When scripts/kernel-doc is deciding if some kernel-doc notation
contains an enum, a struct, a union, a typedef, or a function,
it does a pattern match on the beginning of the string, looking
for a match with one of "struct", "union", "enum", or "typedef",
and otherwise defaults to a function declaration type.
However, if a function or a function-like macro has a name that
begins with "struct" (e.g., struct_size()), then kernel-doc
incorrectly decides that this is a struct declaration.
Fix this by looking for the declaration type keywords having an
ending word boundary (\b), so that "struct_size" will not match
a struct declaration.
I compared lots of html before/after output from core-api, driver-api,
and networking. There were no differences in any of the files that
I checked.

Escape all left braces that are treated as literal characters. Also
escape literal right braces, for consistency and to avoid confusing
