If the directory passed to the '.. kernel-feat::' directive does not
exist or the get_feat.pl script does not find any files to extract
features from, Sphinx will report the following error:
Sphinx parallel build error:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'fname' referenced before assignment
make[2]: *** [Documentation/Makefile:102: htmldocs] Error 2
This is due to how I changed the script in c48a7c44a1d0 ("docs:
kernel_feat.py: fix potential command injection"). Before that, the
filename passed along to self.nestedParse() in this case was weirdly
just the whole get_feat.pl invocation.
We can fix it by doing what kernel_abi.py does -- just pass
self.arguments[0] as 'fname'.

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

Set 'softtabstop' to 4 spaces, which will hopefully help keep the
indentation in this file consistent going forwards.
This mirrors the modeline in scripts such as recordmcount.pl, ktest.pl,
and others.
Emacs seems to use 4 spaces to indent by default, so it doesn't require
anything special here.

Akira Yokosawa reported [1] that the "translations" extension we added in
commit 7418ec5b151f ("docs: translations: add translations links when they
exist") broke the build on Sphinx versions v6.1.3 through 7.1.2 (possibly
others) with the following error:
Exception occurred:
File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/sphinx/util/nodes.py", line 624, in _copy_except__document
newnode = self.__class__(rawsource=self.rawsource, **self.attributes)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: LanguagesNode.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'current_language'
The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-7xmwytuu.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.
Solve this problem by making 'current_language' a true element attribute
of the LanguagesNode element, which is probably the more correct way to do
it anyway.
Tested on Sphinx 2.x, 3.x, 6.x, and 7.x.

The addition of the XFS online fsck documentation starting with
commit a8f6c2e54ddc ("xfs: document the motivation for online fsck design")
added a deeper level of nesting than LaTeX is prepared to deal with. That
caused a pdfdocs build failure with the helpful "Too deeply nested" error
message buried deeply in Documentation/output/filesystems.log.
Increase the "maxlistdepth" parameter to instruct LaTeX that it needs to
deal with the deeper nesting whether it wants to or not.

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}

The Python module pyyaml is required to build the docs, but it is only
listed in Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt and is therefore missing
when Sphinx is installed as a package and not via pip/pypi.
Add pyyaml as an optional package for multiple distros to fix building the
docs if you prefer to install Sphinx as a package.

The number of possible CPUs is set be kernel in early boot time through
some discovery mechanisms, like ACPI in x86. We have a parameter both
in x86 and S390 to override that - there are some cases of BIOSes exposing
more possible CPUs than the available ones, so this parameter is a good
testing mechanism, but for some reason wasn't mentioned so far in the
kernel parameters guide - let's fix that.

The kernel subsystem APIs front page currently has four top-level
groupings with headers, and then everything else that isn't grouped.
But in the table-of-contents, ungrouped subsystems are indented as
if they were part of the preceding grouping (currently "Storage
interfaces"), which is confusing.
Fix this by adding an "Other subsystems" header for the ungrouped
subsystems.

In the Linux perf tool, the ring buffer serves not only as a medium for
transferring PMU event data but also as a vital mechanism for hardware
tracing using technologies like Intel PT and Arm CoreSight, etc.
Consequently, the ring buffer mechanism plays a crucial role by ensuring
high throughput for data transfer between the kernel and user space
while avoiding excessive overhead caused by the ring buffer itself.
This commit documents the ring buffer mechanism in detail. It explains
the implementation of both the regular ring buffer and the AUX ring
buffer. Additionally, it covers how these ring buffers support various
tracing modes and explains the synchronization with memory barriers.

Since 2014 kernel-doc has supported describing object-like macros
but it is not documented anywhere. I should have required some
documentation for it when I merged the patch. :(
There are currently only 3 uses of this (all in DRM headers, in
include/drm/*.h).
Add object-like macro kernel-doc documentation now so that more may
know about it and use it.
Fixes: cbb4d3e6510b ("scripts/kernel-doc: handle object-like macros")

Linux kernel does not use "MACDOC" in any documenation or any
source files, so stop searching for it.

It's good to be clear about who the intended target audience for any
given piece of documentation is, as this will help us put new text in
the correct place. Let's encourage submitters to state it explicitly
rather than relying on where they placed it in the directory hierarchy
as there isn't necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between them.
Target audience: documentation contributors and reviewers.

To prevent this, do the pre-processing only for lines which are no
comments, e.g. do not start with ' *'.

Reformat lines in kernel-doc comments, which make use of the backslash at
the end to suggest it is a multi-line comment. kernel-doc is able to
process e.g. the short description of a function properly, even if it is
across two lines.
No functional change.

Commit 1db9d06aaa55 ("mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLAB from all Kconfig and
Makefile") removes the config SLAB and makes the SLUB allocator the only
default allocator in the kernel. Hence, the advice on reducing OS jitter
due to kworker kernel threads to build with CONFIG_SLUB instead of
CONFIG_SLAB is obsolete.
Remove the obsolete advice to build with SLUB instead of SLAB.
