We now have better automarkup in sphinx itself and, besides, this markup was incorrect and left :c:func: gunk in the processed docs.

2019-05-28kernel-doc: always name missing kerneldoc sectionsJonathan Corbet1-7/+9

2019-01-17kernel-doc: suppress 'not described' warnings for embedded struct fieldsJonathan Corbet1-1/+1
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 ".". Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2018-11-25scripts/kernel-doc: Fix struct and struct field attribute processingSakari Ailus1-3/+4
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. Signed-off-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2018-10-18kernel-doc: fix declaration type determinationRandy Dunlap1-4/+4
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.

2018-02-20Merge branch 'kerneldoc2' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet1-301/+365
So once upon a time I set out to fix the problem reported by Tobin wherein a literal block within a kerneldoc comment would be corrupted in processing. On the way, though, I got annoyed at the way I have to learn how kernel-doc works from the beginning every time I tear into it. As a result, seven of the following eight patches just get rid of some dead code and reorganize the rest - mostly turning the 500-line process_file() function into something a bit more rational. Sphinx output is unchanged after these are applied. Then, at the end, there's a tweak to stop messing with literal blocks. If anybody was unaware that I've not done any serious Perl since the 1990's, they will certainly understand that fact now.

2018-02-15docs: kernel-doc: Don't mangle literal code blocks in commentsJonathan Corbet1-5/+64
It can be useful to put code snippets into kerneldoc comments; that can be done with the "::" operator at the end of a line like this:: if (desperate) run_in_circles(); The ".. code-block::" directive can also be used to this end. kernel-doc currently fails to understand these literal blocks and applies its normal 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 performing any special markup on them. It's ugly, but that means it fits in well with the rest of the script. Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

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.

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.

2017-12-02scripts/kernel-doc: Don't fail with status != 0 if error encountered with -noneWill Deacon1-1/+1
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.

Implement a '-none' output mode for kernel-doc which will only output warning messages, and suppresses the warning message about there being no kernel-doc in the file. If the build has requested additional warnings, automatically check all .c files. This patch does not check .h files. Enabling the warning by default would add about 1300 warnings, so it's default off for now.

Add some code to the enum dumper to handle this there instead. While at it, also make the above message more accurate by simply dumping the type that was passed in, and pass the struct/union differentiation in.

2017-08-31kernel-doc parser mishandles declarations split into linesMarkus Heiser1-0/+4
Reported by Johannes Berg [1]. Problem here: function process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration without any whitespace. A one-liner of:: struct something { struct foo bar; }; has to be:: struct something {struct foo bar;}; Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space between 'foo' and 'bar':: struct something {struct foobar;}; Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines between enum declaration:: warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo' Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from the concatenated string (with the new additional space from process_proto_type).

2017-07-03scripts/kernel-doc: handle DECLARE_HASHTABLEJakub Kicinski1-0/+2
DECLARE_HASHTABLE needs similar handling to DECLARE_BITMAP because otherwise kernel-doc assumes the member name is the second, not first macro parameter. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-05-14scripts: Switch to more portable Perl shebangKamil Rytarowski1-1/+2
The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix. The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl. This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody. Perl's executable is detected automatically. This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the default behavior. While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?). Signed-off-by: Kamil Rytarowski <n54@gmx.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2017-04-02scripts/kernel-doc: fix handling of parameters with parenthesisMauro Carvalho Chehab1-4/+3
lib/crc32c defines one parameter as: const u32 (*tab)[256] Better handle parenthesis, to avoid those warnings: ./lib/crc32.c:149: warning: No description found for parameter 'tab)[256]' ./lib/crc32.c:149: warning: Excess function parameter 'tab' description in 'crc32_le_generic' ./lib/crc32.c:294: warning: No description found for parameter 'tab)[256]' ./lib/crc32.c:294: warning: Excess function parameter 'tab' description in 'crc32_be_generic' Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-04-02scripts/kernel-doc: fix parser for apostrophesMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+11
On ReST, adding a text like ``literal`` is valid. However, the kernel-doc script won't handle it fine. We really need this feature, in order to escape things like %ph, with is found on some C files.

2017-01-27kernel-doc: Handle returning pointers to pointersMatthew Wilcox1-7/+7
Clearly nobody ever tried to build the documentation for the radix tree before: include/linux/radix-tree.h:400: warning: cannot understand function prototype: 'void ** radix_tree_iter_init(struct radix_tree_iter *iter, unsigned long start) ' Indeed, the regexes only handled a single '*', not one-or-more. I have tried to fix that, but now I have perl regexes all over my hands, and I fear I shall never be clean again.
