This document is on good shape for ReST: all it was needed was to fix the section markups, add a toctree, convert the tables and add a few code/quote blocks. While not strictly required, I opted to use lowercase for the titles, just like the other books that were converted to Sphinx. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

This short series convers device-drivers.tmpl into the RST format, splits it up, and sets up the result under Documentation/driver-api/. For added fun, I've taken one top-level file (hsi.txt) and folded it into the document as a way of showing the direction I'm thinking I would like things to go. There is plenty more of this sort of work that could be done, to say the least - this is just a beginning! The formatted results can be seen at: http://static.lwn.net/kerneldoc/driver-api/index.html As part of the long-term task to turn Documentation/ into less of a horror movie, I'd like to collect documentation of the driver-specific API here. Arguably gpu/ and the media API stuff should eventually move here, though we can discuss the color of that particular shed some other day. Meanwhile, I'd appreciate comments on the general idea.

Jonathan Corbet authored
As far as I can tell, the handling of "..." arguments has never worked right, so any documentation provided was ignored in favor of "variable arguments." This makes kernel-doc handle "@...:" as documented. It does *not* fix spots in kerneldoc comments that don't follow that convention, but they are no more broken than before.

- The guide currently says to pad the structure to a multiple of 64-bits. This is not necessary in cases where the structure contains no 64-bit types. Clarify this concept to avoid unnecessary padding. - When using __u64 to hold user pointers, blindly trying to do a cast to a void __user * may generate a warning on 32-bit systems about a cast from an integer to a pointer of different size. There is a macro to deal with this which hides an ugly double cast. Add a reference to this macro.

This extends the method to build only sub-folders to the targets "latexdocs" and "pdfdocs". To do so, a conf.py in the sub-folder is required, where the latex_documents of the sub-folder are defined. E.g. to build only gpu's PDF add the following to the Documentation/gpu/conf.py:: +latex_documents = [ + ("index", "gpu.tex", "Linux GPU Driver Developer's Guide", + "The kernel development community", "manual"), +] and run: make SPHINXDIRS=gpu pdfdocs Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

The setup() function of a Sphinx-extension can return a dictionary. This is treated by Sphinx as metadata of the extension [1]. With metadata "parallel_read_safe = True" a extension is marked as save for "parallel reading of source". This is needed if you want build in parallel with N processes. E.g.: make SPHINXOPTS=-j4 htmldocs will no longer log warnings like: WARNING: the foobar extension does not declare if it is safe for parallel reading, assuming it isn't - please ask the extension author to check and make it explicit. Add metadata to extensions: * kernel-doc * flat-table * kernel-include [1] http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/extdev/#extension-metadataSigned-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> Tested-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

When using a typedef function like this one: typedef bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle); The Sphinx C domain expects it to create a c:type: reference, as that's the way it creates the type references when parsing a c:function:: declaration. So, a declaration like: .. c:function:: bool v4l2_valid_dv_timings (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap * cap, v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc fnc, void * fnc_handle) Will create a cross reference for :c:type:`v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc`. So, when outputting such typedefs in RST format, we need to handle this special case, as otherwise it will produce those warnings: ./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:43: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc ./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:60: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc ./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:81: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc So, change the kernel-doc script to produce a RST output for the above typedef as: .. c:type:: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc **Typedef**: timings check callback **Syntax** ``bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);`` Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

From the old description people still can't get what's the exact difference between nr_cpus and maxcpus. Especially in kdump kernel nr_cpus is always suggested if it's implemented in the ARCH. The reason is nr_cpus is used to limit the max number of possible cpu in system, the sum of already plugged cpus and hot plug cpus can't exceed its value. However maxcpus is used to limit how many cpus are allowed to be brought up during bootup. Signed-off-by: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Right now, for a struct, kernel-doc produces the following output: .. c:type:: struct v4l2_prio_state stores the priority states **Definition** :: struct v4l2_prio_state { atomic_t prios[4]; }; **Members** ``atomic_t prios[4]`` array with elements to store the array priorities Putting a member name in verbatim and adding a continuation line causes the LaTeX output to generate something like: item[atomic_t prios\[4\]] array with elements to store the array priorities Everything inside "item" is non-breakable, with may produce lines bigger than the column width. Also, for function members, like: int (* rx_read) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num); It puts the name of the member at the end, like: int (*) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num) read With is very confusing. The best is to highlight what really matters: the member name. is a secondary information. So, change kernel-doc, for it to produce the output on a different way: **Members** ``prios[4]`` array with elements to store the array priorities Also, as the type is not part of LaTeX "item[]", LaTeX will split it into multiple lines, if needed. So, both LaTeX/PDF and HTML outputs will look good. It should be noticed, however, that the way Sphinx LaTeX output handles things like: Foo bar is different than the HTML output. On HTML, it will produce something like: **Foo** bar While, on LaTeX, it puts both foo and bar at the same line, like: **Foo** bar Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

This is only one example, demonstrating the benefits of the patch series. The CEC_DQEVENT ioctl is migrated to the sphinx c-domain and referred by ":name: CEC_DQEVENT". With this change the indirection using ":ref:`CEC_DQEVENT` is no longer needed, we can refer the ioctl directly with ":c:func:`CEC_DQEVENT`". As addition in the index, there is a entry "CEC_DQEVENT (C function)". Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Moved the *duplicate C object description* warnings for function declarations in the nitpicky mode. In nitpick mode, you can suppress those warnings (e.g. ioctl) with:: nitpicky = True nitpick_ignore = [ ("c:func", "ioctl"), ] See Sphinx documentation for the config values for ``nitpick`` and ``nitpick_ignore`` [1]. With this change all the ".. cpp:function:: int ioctl(..)" descriptions (found in the media book) can be migrated to ".. c:function:: int ioctl(..)", without getting any warnings. E.g.:: .. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp ) .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp ) The main effect, is that we get those *CPP-types* back into Sphinx's C- namespace and we need no longer to distinguish between c/cpp references, when we refer a function like the ioctl.
