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.

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>

STATE_FIELD describes a parser state that can handle any part of a kerneldoc comment body; rename it to STATE_BODY to reflect that. The $in_purpose variable was a hidden substate of STATE_FIELD; get rid of it and make a proper state (STATE_BODY_MAYBE) instead. This will make the subsequent process_file() splitup easier.

I found the layout confusing with multiple introductions to what kernel-doc is and how to use it. I made the following changes: - Moved the 'Including kernel-doc comments' section to the end of the document -- we should explain what it *is* before we explain how to integrate it. - Moved the 'Recommendations' subsection to the top. We want people to know what to document before telling them how to do it. - Rewrite the 'Writing kernel-doc comments' section, integrating the 'Recommendations' subsection and a paragraph from 'How to format kernel-doc comments'. - Remove the paragraph about the kernel-doc script; we're supposed to be teaching people how to use punctuation to write pretty documentation, not documenting the build tooling. - Split the 'Parameters and member arguments' section into 'Function parameters' and 'Members'. Structure members are not commonly referred to as arguments. - Integrate the 'private:' and 'public:' tag descriptions into the 'Members' section. - Move the 'In-line member documentation comments' subsection up to be with the 'Members' section.

This section is mentioned in scripts/kernel-doc, so we should mention it in doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst.

except, again, POLLFREE and POLL_BUSY_LOOP. With this, we finally get to the promised end result: - POLL{IN,OUT,...} are plain integers and *not* in __poll_t, so any stray instances of ->poll() still using those will be caught by sparse. - eventpoll.c and select.c warning-free wrt __poll_t - no more kernel-side definitions of POLL... - userland ones are visible through the entire kernel (and used pretty much only for mangle/demangle) - same behavior as after the first series (i.e. sparc et.al. epoll(2) working correctly).

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull more poll annotation updates from Al Viro: "This is preparation to solving the problems you've mentioned in the original poll series. After this series, the kernel is ready for running for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done as a for bulk search-and-replace. After that, the kernel is ready to apply the patch to unify {de,}mangle_poll(), and then get rid of kernel-side POLL... uses entirely, and we should be all done with that stuff. Basically, that's what you suggested wrt KPOLL..., except that we can use EPOLL... instead - they already are arch-independent (and equal to what is currently kernel-side POLL...). After the preparations (in this series) switch to returning EPOLL... from ->poll() instances is completely mechanical and kernel-side POLL... can go away. The last step (killing kernel-side POLL... and unifying {de,}mangle_poll() has to be done after the search-and-replace job, since we need userland-side POLL... for unified {de,}mangle_poll(), thus the cherry-pick at the last step. After that we will have: - POLL{IN,OUT,...} *not* in __poll_t, so any stray instances of ->poll() still using those will be caught by sparse. - eventpoll.c and select.c warning-free wrt __poll_t - no more kernel-side definitions of POLL... - userland ones are visible through the entire kernel (and used pretty much only for mangle/demangle) - same behavior as after the first series (i.e. sparc et.al. epoll(2) working correctly)" * 'work.poll2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: annotate ep_scan_ready_list() ep_send_events_proc(): return result via esed->res preparation to switching ->poll() to returning EPOLL... add EPOLLNVAL, annotate EPOLL... and event_poll->event use linux/poll.h instead of asm/poll.h xen: fix poll misannotation smc: missing poll annotations
