Opt-in since this wreaks the rst output and must be removed
by consumers again. This is useful to adjust the linenumbers
for included kernel-doc snippets in shinx. With that sphinx
error message will be accurate when there's issues with the
rst-ness of the kernel-doc comments.
Especially when transitioning a new docbook .tmpl to .rst this
is extremely useful, since you can just use your editors compilation
quickfix list to accurately jump from error to error.
v2:
- Also make sure that we filter the LINENO for purpose/at declaration
start so it only shows for selected blocks, not all of them (Jani).
While at it make it a notch more accurate.
- Avoid undefined $lineno issues. I tried filtering these out at the
callsite, but Jani spotted more when linting the entire kernel.
Unamed unions and similar things aren't stored consistently and end
up with an undefined line number (but also no kernel-doc text, just
the parameter type). Simplify things and filter undefined line
numbers in print_lineno() to catch them all.
v3: Fix LINENO 0 issue for kernel-doc comments without @param: lines
or any other special sections that directly jump to the description
after the "name - purpose" line. Only really possible for functions
without parameters. Noticed by Jani.

Further up in the state machinery we switch from STATE_NAME to
STATE_DOCBLOCK when we match /$doc_block/. Which means this block of
code here is entirely unreachable, unless there are multiple DOC:
sections within a single kernel-doc comment.
Getting a list of all the files with more than one DOC: section using
$ git grep -c " * DOC:" | grep -v ":1$"
and then doing a full audit of them reveals there are no such comment
blocks in the kernel.
Supporting multiple DOC: sections in a single kernel-doc comment does
not seem like a recommended way of doing things anyway, so nuke the code
for simplicity.

If the documentation comment does not have params or sections, the
section heading may leak from the previous documentation comment.
Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
If there are multiple sections with the same section name, the current
implementation results in several sections by the same heading, with the
content duplicated from the last section to all. Even if there's the
error message, a more graceful approach is to combine all the
identically named sections into one, with concatenated contents.
With the supported sections already limited to select few, there are
massively fewer collisions than there used to be, but this is still
useful for e.g. when function parameters are documented in the middle of
a documentation comment, with description spread out above and
below. (This is not a recommended documentation style, but used in the
kernel nonetheless.)
We can now also demote the error to a warning.
Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
kernel-doc currently identifies anything matching "section header:"
(specifically a string of word characters and spaces followed by a
colon) as a new section in the documentation comment, and renders the
section header accordingly.
Unfortunately, this turns all uses of colon into sections, mostly
unintentionally. Considering the output, erroneously creating sections
when not intended is always worse than erroneously not creating sections
when intended. For example, a line with "http://example.com" turns into
a "http" heading followed by "//example.com" in normal text style, which
is quite ugly. OTOH, "WARNING: Beware of the Leopard" is just fine even
if "WARNING" does not turn into a heading.
It is virtually impossible to change all the kernel-doc comments, either
way. The compromise is to pick the most commonly used and depended on
section headers (with variants) and accept them as section headers.
The accepted section headers are, case insensitive:
* description:
* context:
* return:
* returns:
Additionally, case sensitive:
* @return:
All of the above are commonly used in the kernel-doc comments, and will
result in worse output if not identified as section headers. Also,
kernel-doc already has some special handling for all of them, so there's
nothing particularly controversial in adding more special treatment for
them.
While at it, improve the whitespace handling surrounding section
names. Do not consider the whitespace as part of the name.
Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
If a param description spans multiple lines, check any leading
whitespace in the first continuation line, and remove same amount of
whitespace from following lines.
This allows indentation in the multi-line parameter descriptions for
aesthetical reasons while not causing accidentally significant
indentation in the rst output.
Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
Handle whitespace on the first line of param text as if it was the empty
string. There is no need to add the newline in this case. This improves
the rst output in particular, where blank lines may be problematic in
parameter lists.
Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
Move away from field lists, and simply use **strong emphasis** for
section headings on lines of their own. Do not use rst section headings,
because their nesting depth depends on the surrounding context, which
kernel-doc has no knowledge of. Also, they do not need to end up in any
table of contexts or indexes.
There are two related immediate benefits. Field lists are typically
rendered in two columns, while the new style uses the horizontal width
better. With no extra indent on the left, there's no need to be as fussy
about it. Field lists are more susceptible to indentation problems than
the new style.

Currently we use docproc to figure out which symbols are exported, and
then docproc calls kernel-doc on specific functions, to get
documentation on exported functions. According to git blame and docproc
comments, this is due to historical reasons, as functions and their
corresponding EXPORT_SYMBOL* may have been in different files. However
for more than ten years the recommendation in CodingStyle has been to
place the EXPORT_SYMBOL* immediately after the closing function brace
line.
Additionally, the kernel-doc comments for functions are generally placed
above the function definition in the .c files (i.e. where the
EXPORT_SYMBOL* is) rather than above the declaration in the .h
files. There are some exceptions to this, but AFAICT none of these are
included in DocBook documentation using the "!E" docproc directive.
Therefore, assuming the EXPORT_SYMBOL* and kernel-doc are with the
function definition, kernel-doc can extract the exported vs. not
information by making two passes on the input file. Add support for that
via the new -export and -internal parameters.

Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers
indexed by integer values. This structure is utilised across many
structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and
several filesystems.
This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given
its head node.
Usage:
The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct
radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree.
The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast
correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure.
For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at
index 18, try the following:
(gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18)

Here's the "big" driver core update for 4.7-rc1.
Mostly just debugfs changes, the long-known and messy races with removing
debugfs files should be fixed thanks to the great work of Nicolai Stange. We
also have some isa updates in here (the x86 maintainers told me to take it
through this tree), a new warning when we run out of dynamic char major
numbers, and a few other assorted changes, details in the shortlog.
All have been in linux-next for some time with no reported issues.
