2025-02-10scripts/get_abi.pl: Add filtering capabilities to rest outputMauro Carvalho Chehab
This way, Sphinx ABI extension can parse symbols only once, while keep displaying results in separate files.

2025-02-10docs: sphinx/kernel_abi: reduce buffer usage for ABI messagesMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of producing a big message with all ABI contents and then parse as a whole, simplify the code by handling each ABI symbol in separate. As an additional benefit, there's no need to place file/line nubers inlined at the data and use a regex to convert them.

2025-02-10docs: sphinx/kernel_abi: use AbiParser directlyMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of running get_abi.py script, import AbiParser class and handle messages directly there using an interactor. This shold save some memory, as there's no need to exec python inside the Sphinx python extension.

2025-02-10scripts/lib/abi/abi_parser.py: use an interactor for ReST outputMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of printing all results line per line, use an interactor to return each variable as a separate message. This won't change much when using it via command line, but it will help Sphinx integration by providing an interactor that could be used there to handle ABI symbol by symbol.

2025-02-10scripts/lib/abi/abi_parser.py: optimize parse_abi() functionMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of using glob, use a recursive function to parse all files. Such change reduces the total excecution time by 15% with my SSD disks.

2025-02-10scripts/get_abi.py: add support for symbol searchMauro Carvalho Chehab
Add support for searching symbols from Documentation/ABI using regular expressions to match the symbols' names.

2025-02-10scripts/get_abi.py: add a Python tool to generate ReST outputMauro Carvalho Chehab
The get_abi.pl script is requiring some care, but it seems that the number of changes on it since when I originally wrote it was not too high. Maintaining perl scripts without using classes requires a higher efforted than on python, due to global variables management. Also, it sounds easier to find python developer those days than perl ones. As a plus, using a Python class to handle ABI allows a better integration with Sphinx extensions, allowing, for instance, to let automarkup to generate cross-references for ABI symbols. With that in mind, rewrite the core of get_abi.pl in Python, using classes, to help producing documentation. This will allow a better integration in the future with the Sphinx ABI extension. The algorithms used there are the same as the ones in Perl, with a couple of cleanups to remove redundant variables and to help with cross-reference generation. While doing that, remove some code that were important in the past, where ABI files weren't using ReST format. Some minor improvements were added like using a fixed seed when generating ABI keys for duplicated names, making its results reproductible. The end script is a little bit faster than the original one (tested on a machine with ssd disks). That's probably because we're now using only pre-compiled regular expressions, and it is using string replacement methods instead of regex where possible. The new version is a little bit more conservative when converting text to cross-references to avoid adding them into literal blocks. To ensure that the ReST output is parsing all variables and files properly, the end result was compared using diff with the one produced by the perl script and showed no regressions. There are minor improvements at the results, as it now properly groups What on some special cases. It also better escape some XREF names.
