scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errors

2020-07-31T17:11:17Z

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.

scripts/kernel-doc: handle function pointer prototypes

2020-06-26T16:01:00Z

There are some function pointer prototypes inside the net includes, like this one: int (*pcs_config)(struct phylink_config *config, unsigned int mode, phy_interface_t interface, const unsigned long *advertising); There's nothing wrong using it with kernel-doc, but we need to add a rule for it to parse such kind of prototype.

scripts/kernel-doc: parse __ETHTOOL_DECLARE_LINK_MODE_MASK

2020-06-26T16:00:29Z

The __ETHTOOL_DECLARE_LINK_MODE_MASK macro is a variant of DECLARE_BITMAP(), used by phylink.h. As we have already a parser for DECLARE_BITMAP(), let's add one for this macro, in order to avoid such warnings: ./include/linux/phylink.h:54: warning: Function parameter or member '__ETHTOOL_DECLARE_LINK_MODE_MASK(advertising' not described in 'phylink_link_state' ./include/linux/phylink.h:54: warning: Function parameter or member '__ETHTOOL_DECLARE_LINK_MODE_MASK(lp_advertising' not described in 'phylink_link_state' Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d1d1dea67a28117c0b0c33271b139c4455fef287.1592895969.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation

2020-06-08T15:30:19Z

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

scripts: kernel-doc: accept blank lines on parameter description

2020-04-20T21:35:58Z

Sphinx is very pedantic with respect to blank lines. Sometimes, in order to make it to properly handle something, we need to add a blank line. However, currently, any blank line inside a kernel-doc comment like: /* * @foo: bar * * foobar * * some description will be considered as if "foobar" was part of the description. This patch changes kernel-doc behavior. After it, foobar will be considered as part of the parameter text. The description will only be considered as such if it starts with: zero spaces after asterisk: *foo one space after asterisk: * foo or have a explicit Description section: * Description: Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c07d2862792d75a2691d69c9eceb7b89a0164cc0.1586881715.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

scripts: kernel-doc: accept negation like !@var

2020-04-20T21:35:58Z

On a few places, it sometimes need to indicate a negation of a parameter, like: !@fshared This pattern happens, for example, at: kernel/futex.c and it is perfectly valid. However, kernel-doc currently transforms it into: !**fshared** This won't do what it would be expected. Fortunately, fixing the script is a simple matter of storing the "!" before "@" and adding it after the bold markup, like: **!fshared** Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/0314b47f8c3e1f9db00d5375a73dc3cddd8a21f2.1586881715.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

scripts: kernel-doc: proper handle @foo->bar()

2020-04-20T21:35:58Z

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. So, instead of trying to hack the kernel-doc markup, let's teach it about how to handle such things. This should likely remove lots of other similar warnings as well.

scripts/kernel-doc: Add missing close-paren in c:function directives

2020-04-15T20:58:12Z

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.)

scripts/kernel-doc: Add support for named variable macro arguments

2019-11-07T20:17:24Z

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 Tested-by: Paul E.

kernel-doc: add support for ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute

2019-10-01T12:57:17Z

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_in_smp` is an attribute that is not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.
