2020-12-03scripts: kernel-doc: fix parsing function-like typedefsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset 6b80975c6308 ("scripts: kernel-doc: fix typedef parsing") added support for things like: typedef unsigned long foo(); However, it caused a regression on this prototype: typedef bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc(const struct v4l2_dv_timings *t, void *handle); This is only noticed after adding a patch that checks if the kernel-doc identifier matches the typedef: ./scripts/kernel-doc -none $(git grep '^.. kernel-doc::' Documentation/ |cut -d ' ' -f 3|sort|uniq) 2>&1|grep expecting include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:38: warning: expecting prototype for typedef v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc. Prototype was for typedef nc instead The problem is that, with the new parsing logic, it is not checking for complete words at the type part. Fix it by adding a \b at the end of each type word at the regex. fixes: 6b80975c6308 ("scripts: kernel-doc: fix typedef parsing") Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/218ff56dcb8e73755005d3fb64586eb1841a276b.1606896997.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: try to use c:function if possibleMauro Carvalho Chehab
There are a few namespace clashes by using c:macro everywhere: basically, when using it, we can't have something like: .. c:struct:: pwm_capture .. c:macro:: pwm_capture So, we need to use, instead: .. c:function:: int pwm_capture (struct pwm_device * pwm, struct pwm_capture * result, unsigned long timeout) for the function declaration. The kernel-doc change was proposed by Jakob Lykke Andersen here: https://github.com/jakobandersen/linux_docs/commit/6fd2076ec001cca7466857493cd678df4dfe4a65 Although I did a different implementation.

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: fix line number handlingMauro Carvalho Chehab
Address several issues related to pointing to the wrong line number: 1) ensure that line numbers will always be initialized When section is the default (Description), the line number is not initializing, producing this: $ ./scripts/kernel-doc --enable-lineno ./drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-mem2mem.c|less **Description** #define LINENO 0 In case of streamoff or release called on any context, 1] If the context is currently running, then abort job will be called 2] If the context is queued, then the context will be removed from the job_queue Which is not right. Ensure that the line number will always be there. After applied, the result now points to the right location: **Description** #define LINENO 410 In case of streamoff or release called on any context, 1] If the context is currently running, then abort job will be called 2] If the context is queued, then the context will be removed from the job_queue 2) The line numbers for function prototypes are always + 1, because it is taken at the line after handling the prototype. Change the logic to point to the next line after the /** */ block; 3) The "DOC:" line number should point to the same line as this markup is found, and not to the next one. Probably part of the issues were due to a but that was causing the line number offset to be incremented by one, if --export were used. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: allow passing desired Sphinx C domain dialectMauro Carvalho Chehab
When kernel-doc is called via kerneldoc.py, there's no need to auto-detect the Sphinx version, as the Sphinx module already knows it. So, add an optional parameter to allow changing the Sphinx dialect. As kernel-doc can also be manually called, keep the auto-detection logic if the parameter was not specified. On such case, emit a warning if sphinx-build can't be found at PATH. I ended using a suggestion from Joe for using a more readable regex, instead of using a complex one with a hidden group like: m/^(\d+)\.(\d+)(?:\.?(\d+)?)/ in order to get the optional <patch> argument.

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: don't mangle with parameter listMauro Carvalho Chehab
While kernel-doc needs to parse parameters in order to identify its name, it shouldn't be touching the type, as parsing it is very difficult, and errors happen. One current error is when parsing this parameter: const u32 (*tab)[256] Found at ./lib/crc32.c, on this function: u32 __pure crc32_be_generic (u32 crc, unsigned char const *p, size_t len, const u32 (*tab)[256], u32 polynomial); The current logic mangles it, producing this output: const u32 ( *tab That's something that it is not recognizeable. So, instead, let's push the argument as-is, and use it when printing the function prototype and when describing each argument. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: reimplement -nofunction argumentMauro Carvalho Chehab
Right now, the build system doesn't use -nofunction, as it is pretty much useless, because it doesn't consider the other output modes (extern, internal), working only with all. Also, it is limited to exclude functions. Re-implement it in order to allow excluding any symbols from the document output, no matter what mode is used. The parameter was also renamed to "-nosymbol", as it express better its meaning. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: use a less pedantic markup for funcs on Sphinx 3.xMauro Carvalho Chehab
Unfortunately, Sphinx 3.x parser for c functions is too pedantic: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/8241 While it could be relaxed with some configurations, there are several corner cases that it would make it hard to maintain, and will require teaching conf.py about several macros. So, let's instead use the :c:macro notation. This will produce an output that it is not as nice as currently, but it should still be acceptable, and will provide cross-references, removing thousands of warnings when building with newer versions of Sphinx.

2020-09-16kernel-doc: add support for ____cacheline_aligned attributeJonathan Cameron
Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for output. `____cacheline_aligned` is an attribute that is not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs. Based on previous patch to add ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp. Motivated by patches to reorder this attribute to before the variable name. Whilst we could do that in all cases, that would be a massive change and it is more common in the kernel to place this particular attribute after the variable name. A quick grep suggests approximately 400 instances of which 341 have this attribute just before a semicolon and hence after the variable name.

2020-07-31scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errorsPierre-Louis Bossart
The kbuild bot recently added the W=1 option, which triggered documentation cleanups to squelch hundreds of kernel-doc warnings. To make sure new kernel contributions don't add regressions to kernel-doc descriptors, this patch suggests an option to treat warnings as errors in CI/automated tests. A -Werror command-line option is added to the kernel-doc script. When this option is set, the script will return the number of warnings found. The caller can then treat this positive return value as an error and stop the build. Using this command line option is however not straightforward when the kernel-doc script is called from other scripts. To align with typical kernel compilation or documentation generation, the Werror option is also set by checking the KCFLAGS environment variable, or if KDOC_WERROR is defined, as in the following examples: KCFLAGS="-Wall -Werror" make W=1 sound/ KCFLAGS="-Wall -Werror" make W=1 drivers/soundwire/ KDOC_WERROR=1 make htmldocs Note that in the last example the documentation build does not stop, only an additional log is provided.

2020-04-20scripts: kernel-doc: proper handle @foo->bar()Mauro Carvalho Chehab
The pattern @foo->bar() is valid, as it can be used by a function pointer inside a struct passed as a parameter. Right now, it causes a warning: ./drivers/firewire/core-transaction.c:606: WARNING: Inline strong start-string without end-string. In this specific case, the kernel-doc markup is: /** * fw_core_remove_address_handler() - unregister an address handler * @handler: callback * * To be called in process context. * * When fw_core_remove_address_handler() returns, @handler->callback() is * guaranteed to not run on any CPU anymore. */ With seems valid on my eyes.

2020-04-15scripts/kernel-doc: Add missing close-paren in c:function directivesPeter Maydell
When kernel-doc generates a 'c:function' directive for a function one of whose arguments is a function pointer, it fails to print the close-paren after the argument list of the function pointer argument. For instance: long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn) (void *, void * arg) in driver-api/basics.html is missing a ')' separating the "void *" of the 'fn' arguments from the ", void * arg" which is an argument to work_on_cpu(). Add the missing close-paren, so that we render the prototype correctly: long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn)(void *), void * arg) (Note that Sphinx stops rendering a space between the '(fn*)' and the '(void *)' once it gets something that's syntactically valid.)

2019-11-07scripts/kernel-doc: Add support for named variable macro argumentsJonathan Neuschäfer
Currently, when kernel-doc encounters a macro with a named variable argument[1], such as this: #define hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(pos, head, member, cond...) ... it expects the variable argument to be documented as `cond...`, rather than `cond`. This is semantically wrong, because the name (as used in the macro body) is actually `cond`. With this patch, kernel-doc will accept the name without dots (`cond` in the example above) in doc comments, and warn if the name with dots (`cond...`) is used and verbose mode[2] is enabled. The support for the `cond...` syntax can be removed later, when the documentation of all such macros has been switched to the new syntax. Testing this patch on top of v5.4-rc6, `make htmldocs` shows a few changes in log output and HTML output: 1) The following warnings[3] are eliminated: ./include/linux/rculist.h:374: warning: Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'list_for_each_entry_rcu' ./include/linux/rculist.h:651: warning: Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'hlist_for_each_entry_rcu' 2) For list_for_each_entry_rcu and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, the correct description is shown 3) Named variable arguments are shown without dots [1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Variadic-Macros.html [2]: scripts/kernel-doc -v [3]: See also https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=dev&id=5bc4bc0d6153617eabde275285b7b5a8137fdf3c Signed-off-by: Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> Tested-by: Paul E.

However, if the nested struct does not have any alias and has an attribute, it will result in a empty string at the closing bracket (e.g "};").

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>

2018-10-18kernel-doc: fix declaration type determinationRandy Dunlap
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.

2018-08-06scripts/kernel-doc: Escape all literal braces in regexesBen Hutchings
Commit 701b3a3c0ac4 ("PATCH scripts/kernel-doc") fixed the two instances of literal braces that Perl 5.28 warns about, but there are still more than it doesn't warn about. Escape all left braces that are treated as literal characters. Also escape literal right braces, for consistency and to avoid confusing bracket-matching in text editors.

2018-02-20Merge branch 'kerneldoc2' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet
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 Corbet
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>
