2016-06-04doc/sphinx: Track line-number of starting blocksDaniel Vetter
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.

2016-06-03doc/sphinx: Stop touching state_machine internalsDaniel Vetter
Instead of just forcefully inserting our kernel-doc input and letting the state machine stumble over it the recommended way is to create ViewList, parse that and then return the list of parsed nodes.

2016-06-01doc/sphinx: Pass right filename as sourceDaniel Vetter
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) Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Cc: linux-doc@vger.kernel.org Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-06-01Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc extension on python3Jani 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.

2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: nicer referencing of struct in docbook->rst conversionJani Nikula
Add "struct" in the label of the reference. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-05-30sphinx: update docbook->rst conversion script match C domain specJani Nikula
Function references should include the parens (), struct references should not include "struct". Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-05-30sphinx: cheesy script to convert .tmpl filesJonathan Corbet
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.] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: add Sphinx kernel-doc directive extensionJani 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.
