Documentation for array parameters passed in a function, like the first
argument in the function below, weren't getting exported in the rst
format, although they work fine for html and pdf formats:
void drm_clflush_pages(struct page * pages[], unsigned long num_pages)
That's because the string key to store the description in the
parameterdescs dictionary doesn't have the [] suffix. This cleans up
the suffix from the key before accessing the dictionary.

$type_struct_full and friends are only used by the restructuredText
backend, because it needs to separate enum/struct/typedef/union from
the name of the type. However, $type_struct is *also* used by the rST
backend. This is confusing.
This patch replaces $type_struct's use in the rST backend with a new
$type_fallback; it modifies $type_struct so that it can be used in the
rST backend; and creates regular expressions like $type_struct
for enum/typedef/union, for use in all backends.
Note that, compared to $type_*_full, in the new regexes $1 includes both
the "kind" and the name (before, $1 was pretty much a constant).

An inline function can have an attribute, as in include/linux/log2.h,
and kernel-doc handles this already for simple cases. However,
some attributes have arguments (e.g. the "target" attribute).
Handle those too.
Furthermore, attributes could be at the beginning of a function
declaration, before the return type. To correctly handle this case,
you need to strip spaces after the attributes; otherwise, dump_function
is left confused.

kernel-doc supports documenting struct members "inline" since
a4c6ebede2 ("scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation
in struct body"). This requires the inline kernel-doc comments to have
the opening and closing comment markers (/** and */ respectively) on
lines of their own, even for short comments. For example:
/**
* struct foo - struct documentation
*/
struct foo {
/**
* @bar: member documentation
*/
int bar;
};
Add support for one line inline comments:
/**
* struct foo - struct documentation
*/
struct foo {
/** @bar: member documentation */
int bar;
};
Note that mixing of the two in one doc comment is not allowed; either
both comment markers must be on lines of their own, or both must be on
the one line. This limitation keeps both the comments more uniform, and
kernel-doc less complicated.

When using a typedef function like this one:
typedef bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);
The Sphinx C domain expects it to create a c:type: reference,
as that's the way it creates the type references when parsing
a c:function:: declaration.
So, a declaration like:
.. c:function:: bool v4l2_valid_dv_timings (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap * cap, v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc fnc, void * fnc_handle)
Will create a cross reference for :c:type:`v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc`.
So, when outputting such typedefs in RST format, we need to handle
this special case, as otherwise it will produce those warnings:
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:43: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:60: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:81: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
So, change the kernel-doc script to produce a RST output for the
above typedef as:
.. c:type:: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
**Typedef**: timings check callback
**Syntax**
``bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);``

Right now, for a struct, kernel-doc produces the following output:
.. c:type:: struct v4l2_prio_state
stores the priority states
**Definition**
::
struct v4l2_prio_state {
atomic_t prios[4];
};
**Members**
``atomic_t prios[4]``
array with elements to store the array priorities
Putting a member name in verbatim and adding a continuation line
causes the LaTeX output to generate something like:
item[atomic_t prios\[4\]] array with elements to store the array priorities
Everything inside "item" is non-breakable, with may produce
lines bigger than the column width.
Also, for function members, like:
int (* rx_read) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num);
It puts the name of the member at the end, like:
int (*) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num) read
With is very confusing.
The best is to highlight what really matters: the member name.
is a secondary information.
So, change kernel-doc, for it to produce the output on a different way:
**Members**
``prios[4]``
array with elements to store the array priorities
Also, as the type is not part of LaTeX "item[]", LaTeX will split it into
multiple lines, if needed.
So, both LaTeX/PDF and HTML outputs will look good.
It should be noticed, however, that the way Sphinx LaTeX output handles
things like:
Foo
bar
is different than the HTML output. On HTML, it will produce something
like:
**Foo**
bar
While, on LaTeX, it puts both foo and bar at the same line, like:
**Foo** bar

Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
If the kernel-doc comments for functions are not in the same file as the
EXPORT_SYMBOL statements, the -export and -internal output selections do
not work as expected. This is typically the case when the kernel-doc
comments are in header files next to the function declarations and the
EXPORT_SYMBOL statements are next to the function definitions in the
source files.
Let the user specify additional source files in which to look for the
EXPORT_SYMBOLs using the new -export-file FILE option, which may be
given multiple times.
The pathological example for this is include/net/mac80211.h, which has
all the kernel-doc documentation for the exported functions defined in a

kernel-doc: concatenate contents of colliding sections
we started getting (more) errors on duplicate section names, especially
on the default section name "Description":
include/net/mac80211.h:3174: warning: duplicate section name 'Description'
This is usually caused by a slightly unorthodox placement of parameter
descriptions, like in the above case, and kernel-doc resetting back to
the default section more than once within a kernel-doc comment.

kernel-doc, and only consider explicitly user assigned duplicate section
names an issue.

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

Getting a list of all the files with more than one DOC: section using

and then doing a full audit of them reveals there are no such comment
blocks in the kernel.

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.

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.
