[PATCH v2 00/38] Documentation/sphinx

[Jani Nikula]

Jon, this is v2 of [1] and [2], with a considerable amount of polish and
fixes added. We started dogfooding this within drm-intel, and Daniel has
reviewed the lot and contributed a number of fixes, most notably
accurate file and line number references from Sphinx build
errors/warnings to the kernel-doc comments in source code.

We believe this is now in good shape for merging for v4.8. It's all in
my sphinx-for-docs-next branch that you've already looked at; pull
details below.

When this lands in docs-next and we can backmerge to drm, we'll plunge
ahead and convert gpu.tmpl to rst, and have that ready for v4.8. We
think it's best to contribute that via the drm tree, as it'll involve
splitting up the documentation and likely numerous updates to kernel-doc
comments.

I plan to update Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt for Sphinx and
rst, obviously converting it to rst while at it.

BR,
Jani.

I'm not quite sure why the errors below are happening, but this fixes
them.

Use of uninitialized value in string ne at ./scripts/kernel-doc line 1819, <IN> line 6494.
Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in join or string at ./scripts/kernel-doc line 1759, <IN> line 6494.

[PATCH v2 02/38] kernel-doc: support printing exported and non-exported symbols

[Jani Nikula]

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.

[PATCH v2 03/38] Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and build

[Jani Nikula]

Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any
.rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just
the placeholder index.rst.

At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside
(but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the
various 'make *docs' targets.

All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both
that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle
all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not
relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing
DocBook Makefile are kept minimal.

There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is
needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module,
respectively, with informative messages to the user.

If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but
otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an
informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output.

Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available),
epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per
output type subdirectories under Documentation/output.

Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make
variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose
output from Sphinx.

This is based on the original work by Jonathan Corbet, but he probably
wouldn't recognize this as his own anymore.

[PATCH v2 05/38] Documentation/sphinx: add Sphinx kernel-doc directive extension

[Jani Nikula]

Add an extension to handle kernel-doc directives, to call kernel-doc
according to the arguments and parameters given to the reStructuredText
directive.

The syntax for the kernel-doc directive is:

.. kernel-doc:: FILENAME
   :export:
   :internal:
   :functions: FUNCTION [FUNCTION ...]
   :doc: SECTION TITLE

Of the directive options export, internal, functions, and doc, currently
only one option may be given at a time.

The FILENAME is relative from the kernel source tree root.

The extension notifies Sphinx about the document dependency on FILENAME,
causing the document to be rebuilt when the file has been changed.

[PATCH v2 06/38] Documentation/sphinx: configure the kernel-doc extension

[Jani Nikula]

Tell Sphinx where to find the extension, and pass on the kernel src tree
and kernel-doc paths to the extension.

With this, any .rst files under Documentation may contain the kernel-doc
rst directive to include kernel-doc documentation from any source file.

While building, it may be handy to pass kernel-doc extension
configuration on the command line. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS="-D
kerneldoc_verbosity=0" htmldocs' silences all stderr output from
kernel-doc when the kernel-doc exit code is 0. (The stderr will be
logged unconditionally when the exit code is non-zero.)

[PATCH v2 08/38] sphinx: cheesy script to convert .tmpl files

[Jani Nikula]

From: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

This script uses pandoc to convert existing DocBook template files to RST
templates.  A couple of sed scripts are need to massage things both before
and after the conversion, but the result is then usable with no hand
editing.

[Jani: Change usage to tmplcvt <in> <out>. Fix escaping for docproc
directives. Add support the new kernel-doc extension.]

heading, and the DOC: section title is only used as an identifier and a

Let the user use "&union foo" and "&typedef foo" to reference foo. The
difference to using "union &foo", "typedef &foo", or just "&foo" (which
are valid too) is that "union" and "typedef" become part of the link
text.

struct/union/enum foo definition. The members themselves do not
currently have anchors to link to, but this is better than nothing, and
promotes a universal notation.

[PATCH v2 20/38] kernel-doc: do not regard $, %, or & prefixes as special in section names

[Jani Nikula]

The use of these is confusing in the script, and per this grep, they're
not used anywhere anyway:

$ git grep " \* [%$&][a-zA-Z0-9_]*:" -- *.[ch] | grep -v "\$\(Id\|Revision\|Date\)"

While at it, throw out the constants array, nothing is ever put there
again.

[PATCH v2 24/38] kernel-doc/rst: change the output layout

[Jani Nikula]

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.

Handle whitespace on the first line of param text as if it was the empty
string. There is no need to add the newline in this case. This improves
the rst output in particular, where blank lines may be problematic in
parameter lists.

[PATCH v2 26/38] kernel-doc: strip leading whitespace from continued param descs

[Jani Nikula]

If a param description spans multiple lines, check any leading
whitespace in the first continuation line, and remove same amount of
whitespace from following lines.

This allows indentation in the multi-line parameter descriptions for
aesthetical reasons while not causing accidentally significant
indentation in the rst output.

[PATCH v2 29/38] kernel-doc: limit the "section header:" detection to a select few

[Jani Nikula]

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.

[PATCH v2 30/38] kernel-doc: concatenate contents of colliding sections

[Jani Nikula]

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.

[PATCH v2 32/38] Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc extension on python3

[Jani Nikula]

Reconcile differences between python2 and python3 on dealing with
stdout, stderr from Popen. This fixes "name 'unicode' is not defined"
errors on python3. We'll need to try to keep the extension working on
both python-sphinx and python3-sphinx so we don't need two copies.

[PATCH v2 33/38] doc/sphinx: Pass right filename as source

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

With this error output becomes almost readable. The line numbers are
still totally bonghits, but that's a lot harder to pull out of
kerneldoc. We'd essentially have to insert some special markers in the
kernel-doc output, split the output along these markers and then
insert each block separately using

     state_machine.insert_input(block, source, first_line)

[PATCH v2 34/38] scripts/kernel-doc: Remove duplicated DOC: start handling

[Jani Nikula]

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

Further up in the state machinery we switch from STATE_NAME to
STATE_DOCBLOCK when we match /$doc_block/. Which means this block of
code here is entirely unreachable, unless there are multiple DOC:
sections within a single kernel-doc comment.

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

$ git grep -c " * DOC:" | grep -v ":1$"

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

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
for simplicity.

Instead of just forcefully inserting our kernel-doc input and letting

ViewList, parse that and then return the list of parsed nodes.

[PATCH v2 37/38] scripts/kernel-doc: Add option to inject line numbers

[Jani Nikula]

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

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.

[PATCH v2 38/38] doc/sphinx: Track line-number of starting blocks

[Jani Nikula]

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

Design is pretty simple: kernel-doc inserts breadcrumbs with line
numbers, and sphinx picks them up. At first I went with a sphinx
comment, but inserting those at random places seriously upsets the
parser, and must be filtered. Hence why this version now uses "#define
LINEO " since one of these ever escape into output it's pretty clear
there is a bug.

It seems to work well, and at least the 2-3 errors where sphinx
complained about something that was not correct in kernel-doc text the
line numbers matched up perfectly.

v2: Instead of noodling around in the parser state machine, create
a ViewList and parse it ourselves. This seems to be the recommended
way, per Jani's suggestion.

v3:
- Split out ViewList pach. Splitting the kernel-doc changes from the
  sphinx ones isn't possible, since emitting the LINENO lines wreaks
  havoc with the rst formatting. We must filter them.

- Improve the regex per Jani's suggestions, and compile it just once
  for speed.

- Now that LINENO lines are eaten, also add them to function parameter
  descriptions. Much less content and offset than for in-line struct
  member descriptions, but still nice to know which exact continuation
  line upsets sphinx.

- Simplify/clarify the line +/-1 business a bit.

v4: Split out the scripts/kernel-doc changes and make line-numbers
opt-in, as suggested by Jani.

dogfooding = our autobuilder also already eats it:

I've read through all the patches and things look good. Now my
python/perl/sphinx fu is by far not good enough for a full review, hence
just:

Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

It also works really nicely, we already started to land some kernel-doc
markup fixup patches for drm.

Tested-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

I really think this is awesome, and it's a good foundation for more polish
in the toolchain on top (like Markus' improved tables, or some of the
ideas floating around about better linting for kernel-doc). But right now
I think the next step is to convert a pile of docs and gain some
real-world experience with the tool-chain.

Please send me a pull request with the tag to merge into drm-misc.

I've been looking at how the patch series changes (traditional) htmldocs
generation, and this one is responsible for a lot of them.  Those changes
are almost all good!  There is a lot of cruft out there.  Just FWIW, I'm
going to add a patch putting "note|examples|" into the list, since those
appear to be intentional.

Heh, you scared me a bit until the "almost all good" part. :)

I'm fine with adding more to the list, although I intentionally tried to
keep them to a minimum initially. I had this vague idea of turning some
of the "note" and "warning" type things into rst admonitions [1] later
on, but I don't really have a concrete plan yet.

BR,
Jani.

That is now done — thanks for running with this!  I'm looking forward to
seeing where we can take it from here.

One little thing: there's a bunch of new warnings in the htmldocs build:

.//include/net/mac80211.h:671: warning: duplicate section name 'Description'
.//include/net/mac80211.h:3174: warning: duplicate section name 'Description'

Some quick messing around suggests that it happens when a kerneldoc entry
has free text both above and below the parameter list; there aren't many
such places.  I can send in a patch for mac80211.h to silence most of it,
but it might be nice if it worked as before without whining.

Thanks,

jon

Awesome, Jani's patches landed in drm-next. As discussed I'd like to
merge this into drm-misc, to be able to synchronize the gpu.tmpl->rst
conversion with ongoing drm work. Can I just pull your branch, or do
you want me to pull a special tag? With that I can start wreaking
havoc ;-)

Also we need to coordinate the merge window order. I think as long as
I only pull from your tree for the 4.8 cycle (there shouldn't be any
conflicts in the conversion itself, as long as we only touch gpu.rst
in drm-misc) that would work if drm-next lands after doc-next.

Dave, would that be ok with you too?

Thanks, Daniel

It would be best if Jon can give us a known tag that won't get rebased,
and will end up in docs-next and drm-next, then we can arranage for docs-next
to get merged early and drm-next should be less trouble.

I'm happy to merge that stable branch via drm-misc.

Dave.

Ping for tag/pull request. Note that for gpu.tmpl->rst conversion we
only need what's currently in docs-next - you can merge Jani's
follow-up series at leasure later on.

docs-next as a whole won't be rebased.  But, in any case, I've added a
sphinx-4.8 tag at the current spot, hope that helps.

I can promise to have my pull request ready at the beginning of the merge
window so there shouldn't be trouble with DRM having to wait on it.

Thanks,
