2026-03-25docs: kdoc: better handle source when producing YAML outputMauro Carvalho Chehab-50/+50
The current logic was storing symbols source code on a list, not linked to the actual KdocItem. While this works fine when kernel-doc markups are OK, on places where there is a "/**" without a valid kernel-doc markup, it ends that the 1:1 match between source code and KdocItem doesn't happen, causing problems to generate the YAML output. Fix it by storing the source code directly into the KdocItem structure. This shouldn't affect performance or memory footprint, except when --yaml option is used. While here, add a __repr__() function for KdocItem, as it helps debugging it.

2026-03-22docs: kdoc_item: fix a typo on sections_start_linesMauro Carvalho Chehab-3/+3
Currently, there are 15 occurrences of section?_start_lines, with 10 using the plural way. This is an issue, as, while kdoc_output works with KdocItem, the term doesn't match its init value. The variable sections_start_lines stores multiple sections, so placing it in plural is its correct way. So, ensure that, on all parts of kdoc, this will be referred as sections_start_lines.

2026-03-22docs: kdoc_parser: avoid tokenizing structs everytimeMauro Carvalho Chehab-1/+0
Most of the rules inside CTransforms are of the type CMatch. Don't re-parse the source code every time. Doing this doesn't change the output, but makes kdoc almost as fast as before the tokenizer patches: # Before tokenizer patches $ time ./scripts/kernel-doc . -man >original 2>&1 real 0m42.933s user 0m36.523s sys 0m1.145s # After tokenizer patches $ time ./scripts/kernel-doc . -man >before 2>&1 real 1m29.853s user 1m23.974s sys 0m1.237s # After this patch $ time ./scripts/kernel-doc . -man >after 2>&1 real 0m48.579s user 0m45.938s sys 0m0.988s $ diff -s before after Files before and after are identical Manually checked the differences between original and after with: $ diff -U0 -prBw original after|grep -v Warning|grep -v "@@"|less They're due: - whitespace fixes; - struct_group are now better handled; - several badly-generated man pages from broken inline kernel-doc markups are now fixed.

2026-03-03docs: kdoc_parser: move transform lists to a separate fileMauro Carvalho Chehab-140/+5
Over the time, most of the changes at kernel-doc are related to maintaining a list of transforms to convert macros into pure C code. Place such transforms on a separate module, to cleanup the parser module. There is an advantage on that: QEMU also uses our own kernel-doc, but the xforms list there is different. By placing it on a separate module, we can minimize the differences and make it easier to keep QEMU in sync with Kernel upstream. No functional changes.

2026-01-23Merge branch 'mauro' into docs-mwJonathan Corbet-78/+93
Mauro's work to include documentation from our Python modules. His cover letter follows: This is an extended version of: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1768488832.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/ It basically adds everything we currently have inside libs/tool/python to "tools" book inside documentation. This version should be independent of the other series yet to be merged, (including the jobserver one). The vast amount of changes here are docstring cleanups and additions. They mainly consists on: - ensuring that every phrase will end with a period, making it uniform along all files; - cleaning ups to better uniform docstrings; - variable descriptions now use "#:" markup, as it allows autodoc to add them inside the documentation; - added some missing docstrings; - some new blank lines at comments to make ReST syntax parser happy; - add a couple of sphinx markups (mainly, code blocks). Most of those are minor changes, affecting only comments. It also has one patch per libarary type, adding them to docs. For kernel-doc, I did the cleanups first, as there is one code block inside tools/lib/python/kdoc/latex_fonts.py that would cause a Sphinx crash without such markups. The series actually starts with 3 fixes: - avoid "*" markups on indexes with deep> 3 to override text - a variable rename to stop abusing doctree name - don't rely on cwd to get Documentation/ location patch 4 adds support to document scripts either at: - tools/ - scripts/ patch 5 contains a CSS to better display autodoc html output. For those who want to play with documentation, documenting a python file is very simple. All it takes is to use: .. automodule:: lib.python.<dir+name> Usually, we add a couple of control members to it to adjust the desired documentation scope (add/remove members, showing class inheritance, showing members that currently don't have docstrings, etc). That's why we're using: .. automodule:: lib.python.kdoc.enrich_formatter :members: :show-inheritance: :undoc-members: (and similar) inside tools/kdoc*.rst. autodoc allows filtering in/out members, file docstrings, etc. It also allows documenting just some members or functions with directives like: ..autofunction: ..automember: Sphinx also has a helper script to generate .rst files with documentation: $ sphinx-apidoc -o foobar tools/lib/python/ which can be helpful to discover what should be documented, although changes are needed to use what it produces.

2026-01-20docs: kdoc: fix logic to handle unissued warningsMauro Carvalho Chehab-7/+28
Changeset 469c1c9eb6c9 ("kernel-doc: Issue warnings that were silently discarded") didn't properly addressed the missing messages behavior, as it was calling directly python logger low-level function, instead of using the expected method to emit warnings. Basically, there are two methods to log messages: - self.config.log.warning() - This is the raw level to emit a warning. It just writes the a message at stderr, via python logging, as it is initialized as: self.config.log = logging.getLogger("kernel-doc") - self.config.warning() - This is where we actually consider a message as a warning, properly incrementing error count. Due to that, several parsing error messages are internally considered as success, causing -Werror to not work on such messages. While here, ensure that the last ignored entry will also be handled by adding an extra check at the end of the parse handler.

2025-12-22kernel-doc: add support for handling global variablesMauro Carvalho Chehab-1/+55
Specially on kAPI, sometimes it is desirable to be able to describe global variables that are part of kAPI. Documenting vars with Sphinx is simple, as we don't need to parse a data struct. All we need is the variable declaration and use native C domain ::c:var: to format it for us. Add support for it.

2025-11-29docs: kdoc_parser: use '@' for Excess enum valueRandy Dunlap-1/+1
kdoc is looking for "@value" here, so use that kind of string in the warning message. The "%value" can be confusing. This changes: Warning: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/testmode.h:92 Excess enum value '%MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_PENDING' description in 'mt76_testmode_attr' to this: Warning: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/testmode.h:92 Excess enum value '@MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_PENDING' description in 'mt76_testmode_attr' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Message-ID: <20251126061752.3497106-1-rdunlap@infradead.org>

Recognize and ignore __rcu (in struct members), __private (in struct members), and __always_unused (in function parameters) to prevent kernel-doc warnings: Warning: include/linux/rethook.h:38 struct member 'void (__rcu *handler' not described in 'rethook' Warning: include/linux/hrtimer_types.h:47 Invalid param: enum hrtimer_restart (*__private function)(struct hrtimer *) Warning: security/ipe/hooks.c:81 function parameter '__always_unused' not described in 'ipe_mmap_file' Warning: security/ipe/hooks.c:109 function parameter '__always_unused' not described in 'ipe_file_mprotect' There are more of these (in compiler_types.h, compiler_attributes.h) that can be added as needed.

2025-11-18docs: bring some order to our Python module hierarchyJonathan Corbet-2/+2
Now that we have tools/lib/python for our Python modules, turn them into proper packages with a single namespace so that everything can just use tools/lib/python in sys.path. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Message-ID: <20251110220430.726665-3-corbet@lwn.net>
2025-11-18docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/pythonJonathan Corbet-0/+1667
"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. We already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries there, and update the users accordingly. While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".
