[PATCH v2 0/7] Fix some issues at get_abi.pl script

[PATCH v2 0/7] Fix some issues at get_abi.pl script

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

This series replace this patch:
	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20210324191722.08d352e4@coco.lan/T/#t

It turns that there were multiple bugs at the get_abi.pl code that
create cross-references.

Patches 1 to 6 fix those issues, and should apply cleanly on the top of
the docs tree (although I tested against next-20210323).

Patch 7 is optional, and independent from the other patches. It is meant
to be applied against akpm's tree.  It makes the description (IMHO) 
clearer, while producing cross references for the two mentioned symbols.

The fix patches are:

patch 1: fix some regexes that match the symbols that need to be
  escaped when parsing "What:". The same regex is also used when
  generating cross-references;

patch 2: makes the check for Documentation/ABI references more
  robust, as right now, it stops at the first occurrence;

patch 3: fix the parser for /sys/foo -> xref conversion. Basically,
  the logic that seeks for start and end boundaries were broken.
  The new logic is a way more robust.

patch 4: generate cross-references for /config/foo and other less
  common ABI occurrences;

patch 5 and 6: don't generate cross-references inside literal blocks.
  Right now, there are a couple of places that would otherwise
  generate references, producing a bad output.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab (7):
  scripts: get_abi.pl: better handle escape chars on what:
  get_abi.pl: seek for all occurrences for Documentation/ABI
  get_abi.pl: fix xref boundaries
  scripts: get_abi.pl: extend xref match to other types
  scripts: get_abi.pl: parse description line per line
  scripts: get_abi: ignore code blocks for cross-references
  ABI: sysfs-kernel-mm-cma: fix two cross-references

[PATCH v2 1/7] scripts: get_abi.pl: better handle escape chars on what:

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

The parser for the symbols defined on What: doesn't cover all
chars that need to be scaped, like '{' and '}'. Change the logic
to be more generic, and ensure that the same regex will be used
on both What: and when parsing the cross-references.

[PATCH v2 3/7] get_abi.pl: fix xref boundaries

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

There are some issues with the regex that seeks for What:
cross references: basically, it is mis-identifying the start
and the end boundaries of the regex, which causes :ref: to
be inseerted for the wrong symbols at the wrong places.

Fix it.

[PATCH v2 5/7] scripts: get_abi.pl: parse description line per line

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Change the description parsing logic in rst mode in order
to parse it line per line.

The end result is the same, but doing line per line allows
to add some code to escape literal blocks when seeking for
cross-references.

So perhaps this is the best solution to the problem, but I must confess
to not being entirely happy with it.  get_abi.pl is becoming another
unreadable perlpile like kerneldoc, and this makes it worse.  Doing RST
parsing there seems particularly unwelcome.

Should the cross-reference generation, it now occurs to me, be done in
the automarkup module instead?  Then there's no need to interpret RST,
and we'd get cross-references throughout the kernel docs rather than in
just the ABI stuff.  Am I completely out to lunch here?

Thanks,

jon

Nah, it is not that complex ;-) 
It has 628 lines of code; kernel-doc has 2488. It is 1/4 the size of
kernel-doc :-D

Btw, 20 lines can be removed from it, if we drop support for --no-rst-source. 
I almost dropped it this time :-)

Ah, the entire code that outputs the rst description and does the
xref has just 34 lines (with 5 lines with comments and 5 blank lines).

It is not much, and some cleanups could be done to make it a little
shorter.

Most of the script complexity is actually at the parsing part. The
thing is that the ABI files are somewhat free-style: some files 
don't strictly follow the format, which requires some extra steps in
order to cope with some "soft" violations, as well as to report
problems when the violation is more severe.

Yes, I guess we can move the Xref code to automarkup some day,
that is if we can ensure that get_abi.pl will run before automarkup.

There's currently an issue, though. We need first to get rid of those
duplicated symbols:

Right now, get_abi.pl has some logic to allow multiple "What:" with
identical strings. It does that by adding extra random characters at
the end of the reference name, and keeping track of them on some
internal hash tables.

As the hash table is local to the script, an external script won't be
able to handle it.

Once those gets fixed, we can consider moving the xref code to
automarkup (although I suspect that this will be a way slower).

Thanks,
Mauro
