docs: Fix bitfield handling in kernel-doc

kernel-doc doesn't handle bitfields that are specified with symbolic
name, e.g. u32 cs_index_mask : SPI_CS_CNT_MAX

This results in the following warnings when running `make htmldocs`:

include/linux/spi/spi.h:246: warning: Function parameter or struct member 'cs_index_mask:SPI_CS_CNT_MAX' not described in 'spi_device'
include/linux/spi/spi.h:246: warning: Excess struct member 'cs_index_mask' description in 'spi_device'

Update the regexp for bitfields to accept all word chars, not just
digits.

# 69fc23ef 26-Feb-2024 Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@gmail.com>

kernel-doc: Add unary operator * to $type_param_ref

In kernel-doc comments, unary operator * collides with Sphinx/
docutil's markdown for emphasizing.

This resulted in additional warnings from "make htmldocs":

WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.

, as reported recently [1].

Those have been worked around either by escaping * (like \*param) or by
using inline-literal form of ``*param``, both of which are specific
to Sphinx/docutils.

Such workarounds are against the kenrel-doc's ideal and should better
be avoided.

Instead, add "*" to the list of unary operators kernel-doc recognizes
and make the form of *@param available in kernel-doc comments.

kernel-doc: handle #if in enums as well

In addition to #ifdef, #define and #endif, also handle
any #if since we may be using e.g. #if IS_ENABLED(...).

I didn't find any instances of this in the kernel now,
there are enums with such ifs inside, but I didn't find
any with kernel-doc as well. However, it came up as we
were adding such a construct in our driver and warnings
from kernel-doc were the result.

scripts/kernel-doc: reindent

This file is using an ungodly mixture of 4 spaces, 2-wide tabs, 4-wide
tabs, _and_ 8-wide tabs, making it really hard to find good editor
settings for working with this file.

Bite the bullet and reindent it by hand. I tried using both perltidy
and vim, but neither of them were up to the task without changing too
much or getting confused about what they were supposed to be doing.

I did change a few instances of

}
else

into

} else

(and same for elsif); the file is again written using both styles, and
I left functions which already seemed self-consistent alone.

You can verify that this commit only changes whitespace using e.g.:

git diff --ignore-all-space --word-diff

or to see (only) the instances where newlines were added/removed:

git diff --ignore-all-space

You can also see the delta from what perltidy would have wanted to
do to this file (when asked to only indent it), which isn't that much
in the end:

perltidy -io -fnl scripts/kernel-doc
git diff --no-index scripts/kernel-doc{,.tdy}

scripts/kernel-doc: restore warning for Excess struct/union

The warning for Excess struct or union member description was
removed when the $nested parameter of check_sections() was removed.
This causes some kernel-doc notation warnings to be missed.

Recently the kernel test robot somehow reported an Excess member. The
code in kernel-doc has not issued that warning since kernel v4.16, so I
don't know how the robot did it. (See the Link for the report.)

drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/dbg.c:86: warning: Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'trans_len' description in 'iwl_fw_dump_ptrs'

I patched that warning away even though I could not reproduce the
warning from kernel-doc. The warning should be issued for extraneous
struct member or union member description, so restore it.

scripts/kernel-doc: Fix the regex for matching -Werror flag

Swarup reported a "make htmldocs" warning:

Variable length lookbehind is experimental in regex;
marked by <-- HERE in m/(?<=^|\s)-Werror(?=$|\s)
<-- HERE / at ./scripts/kernel-doc line 188.

Akira managed to reproduce it by perl v5.34.0.

On second thought, it is not necessary to have the complicated
"lookahead and lookbehind" things, and the regex can be simplified.

Generally, the kernel-doc warnings should be considered as errors only
when "-Werror" flag is set in KCFLAGS, but not when
"-Werror=<diagnostic-type>" is set, which means there needs to be a
space or start of string before "-Werror", and a space or end of string
after "-Werror".

The following cases have been tested to work as expected:

* kernel-doc warnings are considered as errors:

$ KCFLAGS="-Werror" make W=1
$ KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror" make W=1
$ KCFLAGS="-Werror -Wundef" make W=1
$ KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror -Wundef" make W=1

* kernel-doc warnings remain as warnings:

$ KCFLAGS="-Werror=return-type" make W=1
$ KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror=return-type" make W=1
$ KCFLAGS="-Werror=return-type -Wundef" make W=1
$ KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror=return-type -Wundef" make W=1

The "Variable length lookbehind is experimental in regex" warning is
also resolved by this patch.

>From the git history, commit 2c12c8103d8f ("scripts/kernel-doc:
optionally treat warnings as errors") introduces a new command-line
option to make kernel-doc warnings into errors. It can also read the
KCFLAGS environment variable to decide whether to turn this option on,
but the regex used for matching may not be accurate enough. It can match
both "-Werror" and "-Werror=<diagnostic-type>", so the option is turned
on by mistake in the latter case.

Fix this by strictly matching the flag "-Werror": there must be a space
or start of string in the front, and a space or end of string at the
end. This can handle all the following cases correctly:

KCFLAGS="-Werror" make W=1 [MATCH]
KCFLAGS="-Werror=return-type" make W=1 [NO MATCH]
KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror -Wundef" make W=1 [MATCH]
KCFLAGS="-Wcomment -Werror=return-type -Wundef" make W=1 [NO MATCH]

kernel-doc: don't let V=1 change outcome

The kernel-doc script currently reports a number of issues
only in "verbose" mode, but that's initialized from V=1
(via KBUILD_VERBOSE), so if you use KDOC_WERROR=1 then
adding V=1 might actually break the build. This is rather
unexpected.

Change kernel-doc to not change its behaviour wrt. errors
(or warnings) when verbose mode is enabled, but rather add
separate warning flags (and -Wall) for it. Allow enabling
those flags via environment/make variables in the kernel's
build system for easier user use, but to not have to parse
them in the script itself.

docs: scripts: kernel-doc: accept bitwise negation like ~@var

In some cases we'd like to indicate the bitwise negation of a parameter,
e.g.

~@var

This will be helpful for describing the atomic andnot operations, where
we'd like to write comments of the form:

Atomically updates @v to (@v & ~@i)

Which kernel-doc currently transforms to:

Atomically updates **v** to (**v** & ~**i**)

Rather than the preferable form:

Atomically updates **v** to (**v** & **~i**)

This is similar to what we did for '!@var' in commit:

ee2aa7590398 ("scripts: kernel-doc: accept negation like !@var")

This patch follows the same pattern that commit used to permit a '!'
prefix on a param ref, allowing a '~' prefix on a param ref, cuasing

kbuild: do not print extra logs for V=2

Some scripts increase the verbose level when V=1, but others when
not V=0.

I think the former is correct because V=2 is not a log level but
a switch to print the reason for rebuilding.

scripts: kernel-doc: Remove workaround for @param... syntax

Commit 43756e347f21 ("scripts/kernel-doc: Add support for named variable
macro arguments") improved how named variable macro arguments are
handled, and changed how they are documented in kerneldoc comments
from "@param...", to "@param", deprecating the old syntax.

All users of the old syntax have since been converted, so this commit
finally removes support for it.

The output of "make htmldocs" is the same with and without this commit.

put the description section into a ".. container::" section, then add a bit

scripts: kernel-doc: Always increment warnings counter

Some warnings do not increment the warnings counter making the behavior
of running kernel-doc with -Werror unlogical as some warnings will be
generated but not treated as errors.

Fix this by creating a helper function that always incrementing the
warnings counter every time a warning is emitted. There is one location
in get_sphinx_version() where a warning is not touched as it concerns
the execution environment of the kernel-doc and not the documentation
being processed.

Incrementing the counter only have effect when running kernel-doc in
either verbose mode (-v or environment variable KBUILD_VERBOSE) or when
treating warnings as errors (-Werror or environment variable
KDOC_WERROR). In both cases the number of warnings printed is printed to
stderr and for the later the exit code of kernel-doc is non-zero if
warnings where encountered.

Simple test case to demo one of the warnings,

$ cat test.c
/**
* foo() - Description
*/
int bar();

# Without this change
$ ./scripts/kernel-doc -Werror -none test.c
test.c:4: warning: expecting prototype for foo(). Prototype was for
bar() instead

# With this change
$ ./scripts/kernel-doc -Werror -none test.c
test.c:4: warning: expecting prototype for foo(). Prototype was for
bar() instead
1 warnings as Errors

stddef: Introduce DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper

There are many places where kernel code wants to have several different
typed trailing flexible arrays. This would normally be done with multiple
flexible arrays in a union, but since GCC and Clang don't (on the surface)
allow this, there have been many open-coded workarounds, usually involving
neighboring 0-element arrays at the end of a structure. For example,
instead of something like this:

struct thing {
...
union {
struct type1 foo[];
struct type2 bar[];
};
};

code works around the compiler with:

struct thing {
...
struct type1 foo[0];
struct type2 bar[];
};

Another case is when a flexible array is wanted as the single member
within a struct (which itself is usually in a union). For example, this
would be worked around as:

union many {
...
struct {
struct type3 baz[0];
};
};

These kinds of work-arounds cause problems with size checks against such
zero-element arrays (for example when building with -Warray-bounds and
-Wzero-length-bounds, and with the coming FORTIFY_SOURCE improvements),
so they must all be converted to "real" flexible arrays, avoiding warnings
like this:

fs/hpfs/anode.c: In function 'hpfs_add_sector_to_btree':
fs/hpfs/anode.c:209:27: warning: array subscript 0 is outside the bounds of an interior zero-length array 'struct bplus_internal_node[0]' [-Wzero-length-bounds]

| ^~~~~~~

However, it _is_ entirely possible to have one or more flexible arrays
in a struct or union: it just has to be in another struct. And since it
cannot be alone in a struct, such a struct must have at least 1 other
named member -- but that member can be zero sized. Wrap all this nonsense
into the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() in support of having flexible arrays
in unions (or alone in a struct).

As with struct_group(), since this is needed in UAPI headers as well,
implement the core there, with a non-UAPI wrapper.

Additionally update kernel-doc to understand its existence.

# 50d7bd38 17-May-2021 Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

stddef: Introduce struct_group() helper macro

Kernel code has a regular need to describe groups of members within a
structure usually when they need to be copied or initialized separately
from the rest of the surrounding structure. The generally accepted design
pattern in C is to use a named sub-struct:

struct foo {
int one;
struct {
int two;
int three, four;
} thing;
int five;
};

This would allow for traditional references and sizing:

memcpy(&dst.thing, &src.thing, sizeof(dst.thing));

However, doing this would mean that referencing struct members enclosed
by such named structs would always require including the sub-struct name
in identifiers:

do_something(dst.thing.three);

This has tended to be quite inflexible, especially when such groupings
need to be added to established code which causes huge naming churn.
Three workarounds exist in the kernel for this problem, and each have
other negative properties.

To avoid the naming churn, there is a design pattern of adding macro
aliases for the named struct:

#define f_three thing.three

This ends up polluting the global namespace, and makes it difficult to
search for identifiers.

Another common work-around in kernel code avoids the pollution by avoiding
the named struct entirely, instead identifying the group's boundaries using
either a pair of empty anonymous structs of a pair of zero-element arrays:

struct foo {
int one;
struct { } start;
int two;
int three, four;
struct { } finish;
int five;
};

struct foo {
int one;
int start[0];
int two;
int three, four;
int finish[0];
int five;
};

This allows code to avoid needing to use a sub-struct named for member
references within the surrounding structure, but loses the benefits of
being able to actually use such a struct, making it rather fragile. Using
these requires open-coded calculation of sizes and offsets. The efforts
made to avoid common mistakes include lots of comments, or adding various
BUILD_BUG_ON()s. Such code is left with no way for the compiler to reason
about the boundaries (e.g. the "start" object looks like it's 0 bytes
in length), making bounds checking depend on open-coded calculations:

if (length > offsetof(struct foo, finish) -
offsetof(struct foo, start))
return -EINVAL;
memcpy(&dst.start, &src.start, offsetof(struct foo, finish) -
offsetof(struct foo, start));

However, the vast majority of places in the kernel that operate on
groups of members do so without any identification of the grouping,
relying either on comments or implicit knowledge of the struct contents,
which is even harder for the compiler to reason about, and results in
even more fragile manual sizing, usually depending on member locations
outside of the region (e.g. to copy "two" and "three", use the start of
"four" to find the size):

BUILD_BUG_ON((offsetof(struct foo, four) <
offsetof(struct foo, two)) ||
(offsetof(struct foo, four) <
offsetof(struct foo, three));
if (length > offsetof(struct foo, four) -
offsetof(struct foo, two))
return -EINVAL;
memcpy(&dst.two, &src.two, length);

In order to have a regular programmatic way to describe a struct
region that can be used for references and sizing, can be examined for
bounds checking, avoids forcing the use of intermediate identifiers,
and avoids polluting the global namespace, introduce the struct_group()
macro. This macro wraps the member declarations to create an anonymous
union of an anonymous struct (no intermediate name) and a named struct
(for references and sizing):

struct foo {
int one;
struct_group(thing,
int two;
int three, four;
);
int five;
};

if (length > sizeof(src.thing))
return -EINVAL;
memcpy(&dst.thing, &src.thing, length);
do_something(dst.three);

There are some rare cases where the resulting struct_group() needs
attributes added, so struct_group_attr() is also introduced to allow
for specifying struct attributes (e.g. __align(x) or __packed).
Additionally, there are places where such declarations would like to
have the struct be tagged, so struct_group_tagged() is added.

Given there is a need for a handful of UAPI uses too, the underlying
__struct_group() macro has been defined in UAPI so it can be used there
too.

scripts/kernel-doc: Override -Werror from KCFLAGS with KDOC_WERROR

Since commit 2c12c8103d8f ("scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat
warnings as errors"), the kernel-doc script will treat warnings as
errors when one of the following conditions is true:

- The KDOC_WERROR environment variable is non-zero
- The KCFLAGS environment variable contains -Werror
- The -Werror parameter is passed to kernel-doc

Checking KCFLAGS for -Werror allows piggy-backing on the C compiler
error handling. However, unlike the C compiler, kernel-doc has no
provision for -Wno-error. This makes compiling the kernel with -Werror
(to catch regressions) and W=1 (to enable more checks) always fail,
without the same possibility as offered by the C compiler to treating
some selected warnings as warnings despite the global -Werror setting.

To fix this, evaluate KDOC_WERROR after KCFLAGS, which allows disabling
the warnings-as-errors behaviour of kernel-doc selectively by setting
KDOC_WERROR=0.

scripts: kernel-doc: improve parsing for kernel-doc comments syntax

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

This results in unexpected and unclear warnings for the user.

E.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none mm/memcontrol.c emits:

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.

Kernel-doc currently expects that the kernel-doc markup to come

Yet, if it find things like:

/**

* @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!

name of the C function or data structure that will be documented.

Address several issues related to pointing to the wrong line

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
were used.

scripts: kernel-doc: make it more compatible with Sphinx 3.x

With Sphinx 3.x, the ".. c:type:" tag was changed to accept either:

.. c:type:: typedef-like declaration
.. c:type:: name

Using it for other types (including functions) don't work anymore.

So, there are newer tags for macro, enum, struct, union, and others,
which doesn't exist on older versions.

Add a check for the Sphinx version and change the produced tags

kernel-doc: add support for ____cacheline_aligned attribute

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` is an attribute that is
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.

scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errors

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.

When kernel-doc generates a 'c:function' directive for a function

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.)

scripts/kernel-doc: Add support for named variable macro arguments

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:

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

kernel-doc: fix processing nested structs with attributes

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.

kernel-doc: suppress 'not described' warnings for embedded struct fields

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 ".".

kernel-doc: fix declaration type determination

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,

The ".. code-block::" directive can also be used to this end. kernel-doc

markup to them, which is then treated as literal by sphinx. The result is
unsightly markup instead of a useful code snippet.

Apply a hack to the output code to recognize literal blocks and avoid

docs: kernel-doc: Rename and split STATE_FIELD

STATE_FIELD describes a parser state that can handle any part of a
kerneldoc comment body; rename it to STATE_BODY to reflect that.

The $in_purpose variable was a hidden substate of STATE_FIELD; get rid of
it and make a proper state (STATE_BODY_MAYBE) instead. This will make the
subsequent process_file() splitup easier.

When kernel-doc is called with output selection filters,
it will be called lots of time for a single file. If
there is a warning present there, it means that it may
print hundreds of identical warnings.

Worse than that, the -function NAME actually filters only

scripts: kernel-doc: improve nested logic to handle multiple identifiers

It is possible to use nested structs like:

struct {
struct {
void *arg1;
} st1, st2, *st3, st4;
};

Handling it requires to split each parameter. Change the logic
to allow such definitions.

In order to test the new nested logic, the following file
was used to test

<code>
struct foo { int a; }; /* Just to avoid errors if compiled */

/**
* struct my_struct - a struct with nested unions and structs
* @arg1: first argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct

struct my_struct {
/* Anonymous union/struct*/
union {
struct {
char arg1 : 1;
char arg2 : 3;
};
struct {

};
struct {
void *arg3;

};
};
union {

It produces the following warnings, as expected:

The logic at create_parameterlist()'s ancillary push_parameter()
function has already a way to output the declaration name, with
would help to discover what declaration is missing.

However, currently, the logic is utterly broken, as it uses
the var $type with a wrong meaning. With the current code,
it will never print anything. I suspect that originally
it was using the second argument of output_declaration().

I opted to not rely on a globally defined $declaration_name,
but, instead, to pass it explicitly as a parameter.

While here, I removed a unaligned check for !$anon_struct_union.
This is not needed, as, if $anon_struct_union is not zero,
$parameterdescs{$param} will be defined.

struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {

CGU_CLK_EXT = BIT(0),
CGU_CLK_PLL = BIT(1),

struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div;
struct ingenic_cgu_fixdiv_info fixdiv;
};
struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom;
};
};

Currently, such struct is documented as:

**Definition**

::
struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
const char * name;
};

**Members**

``name``
name of the clock

With is obvioulsy wrong. It also generates an error:

However, there's nothing wrong with this kernel-doc markup: everything
is documented there.

scripts/kernel-doc: Don't fail with status != 0 if error encountered with -none

My bisect scripts starting running into build failures when trying to
compile 4.15-rc1 with the builds failing with things like:

drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union!

The line in question is actually just a #define, but after some digging
it turns out that my scripts pass W=1 and since commit 3a025e1d1c2ea
("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") that results in
kernel-doc running on each source file. The file in question has a
badly formatted comment immediately before the #define:

/**
* struct brcmf_skbuff_cb reserves first two bytes in sk_buff::cb for
* bus layer usage.
*/

which causes the regex in dump_struct to fail (lack of braces following
struct declaration) and kernel-doc returns 1, which causes the build
to fail.

Fix the issue by always returning 0 from kernel-doc when invoked with
-none. It successfully generates no documentation, and prints out any
issues.

Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space

Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines

a4c6ebede2f9 ("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.

docs-rst: kernel-doc: fix typedef output in RST format

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);``

docs-rst: kernel-doc: better output struct members

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

If the kernel-doc comments for functions are not in the same file as the

comments are in header files next to the function declarations and the
EXPORT_SYMBOL statements are next to the function definitions in the

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
plethora of source files net/mac80211/*.c.

we started getting (more) errors on duplicate section names, especially
on the default 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.

Ignore warnings on the duplicate section name automatically assigned by
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

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

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

kernel-doc: concatenate contents of colliding sections

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.

kernel-doc: limit the "section header:" detection to a select few

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.

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.

kernel-doc: support printing exported and non-exported symbols

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.

We should use an array for that job, so we can guarantee that the order

scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation in struct body

Describing arguments at top of a struct definition works fine
for small/medium size structs, but it definitely doesn't work well
for struct with a huge list of elements.

Keeping the arguments list inside the struct body makes it easier
to maintain the documentation.
ie:
/**
* struct my_struct - short description
* @a: first member
* @b: second member
*
* Longer description
*/
struct my_struct {
int a;
int b;
/**
* @c: This is longer description of C
*
* You can use paragraphs to describe arguments
* using this method.
*/
int c;
};

This patch allows the use of this kind of syntax. Only one argument
per comment and user can use how many paragraphs he needs. It should
start with /**, which is already being used by kernel-doc. If those
comment doesn't follow those rules, it will be ignored.

scripts/kernel-doc: handle struct member __aligned without numbers

Commit ef5da59f1260 ("scripts/kernel-doc: handle struct member
__aligned") permits "char something [123] __aligned(8);".

However, by using \d we constraint ourselves with integers. This is not
always the case. In fact, it might be better to do char something[123]
__aligned(sizeof(u16));

For example, With wireless_dev defining:

u8 address[ETH_ALEN] __aligned(sizeof(u16));

With \d, scripts/kernel-doc erroneously says:

Warning(include/net/cfg80211.h:2618): Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'address' description in 'wireless_dev'

This is because the regex __aligned\s*\(\d+\) fails match at \d as
sizeof is used.

So replace \d with . to indicate "something" in kernel-doc to ignore
__aligned(SOMETHING) in structs. With this change, we can use integers
OR sizeof() or macros as we please.

kernel-doc: code reorganization

Move 'main' code vs. subroutines around so that they are not so
intermixed, for better readability/understanding (relative to Perl).
It was messy to follow the primary flow of code execution with the
code being mixed. Now the code begins with data initialization,
followed by all subroutines, then ends with the main code execution.

This is almost totally source code movement, with a few changes as
needed for forward declarations.

scripts/kernel-doc was leaving unescaped '<', '>', and '&' in

Convert these characters to "&lt;", "&gt;", and "&amp;" as needed

Most of the conversion was already done; complete it just before

docbook: warn on unused doc entries

When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss
including some functions, structs etc. in documentation. To help
finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as
warnings.

For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this:

Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change

scripts/kernel-doc: fix empty function description section

scripts/kernel-doc mishandles a function that has a multi-line function
short description and no function parameters. The observed problem was
from drivers/scsi/scsi_netlink.c:

/**
* scsi_netlink_init - Called by SCSI subsystem to intialize
* the SCSI transport netlink interface
*
**/

kernel-doc treated the " * " line as a Description: section with only a
newline character in the Description contents. This caused
output_highlight() to complain: "output_highlight got called with no
args?", plus produce a perl call stack backtrace.

The fix is just to ignore Description sections if they only contain "\n".

tracing: Add DEFINE_EVENT(), DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT() support to docbook

The introduction of the new 'DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()' obviates the
need for the 'TRACE_EVENT()' macro in some cases. Thus, docbook
style comments that used to live with 'TRACE_EVENT()' are now
moved to 'DEFINE_EVENT()'. Thus, we need to make the docbook
system understand the new 'DEFINE_EVENT()' macro. In addition
I've tried to futureproof the patch, by also adding support for
'DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT()', since there has been discussion about
renaming: TRACE_EVENT() -> DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT().

Without this patch the tracepoint docbook fails to build.

I've verified that this patch correctly builds the tracepoint
docbook which currently covers signals, and irqs.

because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
although they are not:

/**

* @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
* @pid: the PID of the thread
* @sig: signal to be sent
*
* This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
* exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
* method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.

kernel-doc: detect/prevent duplicate doc section names

I saw this problem recently. With this kernel-doc:

* Note: some important info
*
* Note: other important info

kernel-doc uses the "section name" (preceding the ':', like "Note") as a hash
key for storing the descriptive text ("blah important info"). It is (was)
possible to have duplicate (colliding) section names, without any kind of
warning or error.

kernel-doc happily used the latter descriptive text for all instances of
printing the <section-name> descriptive text and the former important info
was lost.

One way to "fix" this is to modify the kernel-doc comments, e.g.:

* Note1: foo bar
*
* Note.2: blah zay

For now, kernel-doc will signal an error when it sees colliding section names
like this.

kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsing

When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused
by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c.

The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..."
in combination with:
Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter ''

The function pointers are defined without a * i.e.
int (drv_callback)(struct request *)

The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't.

This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of
function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ?
The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c.

However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter
description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't
normally.

I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal
form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed
kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code
that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it
should not be used and will removed at some point).

kernel-doc: warn on badly formatted short description

Make kernel-doc warn when a function/struct/union/typedef does not contain
a properly formatted short description, such as:
* scsi_devinfo: set up the dynamic device list
or
* scsi_devinfo -

This warning is only generated when verbose (-v) mode is used.

Also explain the -v command line option in the -h output.

kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and html

Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.

DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were. Fixed that.

However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to &lt;p&gt;, which isn't good for the
generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the
stream to its output file.

Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any
output mode (text, man, html, xml).

kernel-doc: handle arrays with arithmetic expressions as initializers

In a different approach here's a patch that handles the special case of
composite arithmetic expressions in array size initializers. With it,
prior to pushing the split strings on the @first_arg array, I split the
keywords before the array name as before and then keep the array name along
with the subscript expression as a single whole element which gets pushed
last. In this manner, kernel-doc produces correct output without removing
whitespaces which makes the array subscripts unreadable in the docs.

[PATCH] kernel-doc: warn on malformed function docs.

contents before sections

I have fixed the problems in mm/filemap.c and added lots of kernel-doc to
that file (posted to the linux-mm mailing list Mon. 2006-June-12).

The real goal (as requested by Andrew Morton) is to allow the short

Currently the data/contents begins with a space and is left that way, which

just remove the leading space.

[PATCH] DocBook: Use xmlto to process the DocBook files.

xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and
XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than
using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of
kernel-specific scripts that are needed to generate documentation.

[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.

I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
