12 daysdocs: kdoc: Fix pdfdocs build for toolsMauro Carvalho Chehab
the "\1" inside a docstring requires proper scaping to not be considered a hex character and break the build. Reported-by: Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@gmail.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/63e99049-cc72-4156-83af-414fdde34312@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Message-ID: <2fff8ef1d0d64e8b68f15f5c07613f302d773855.1769500383.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2026-01-23Merge branch 'mauro' into docs-mwJonathan Corbet
Mauro's work to include documentation from our Python modules. His cover letter follows: This is an extended version of: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1768488832.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/ It basically adds everything we currently have inside libs/tool/python to "tools" book inside documentation. This version should be independent of the other series yet to be merged, (including the jobserver one). The vast amount of changes here are docstring cleanups and additions. They mainly consists on: - ensuring that every phrase will end with a period, making it uniform along all files; - cleaning ups to better uniform docstrings; - variable descriptions now use "#:" markup, as it allows autodoc to add them inside the documentation; - added some missing docstrings; - some new blank lines at comments to make ReST syntax parser happy; - add a couple of sphinx markups (mainly, code blocks). Most of those are minor changes, affecting only comments. It also has one patch per libarary type, adding them to docs. For kernel-doc, I did the cleanups first, as there is one code block inside tools/lib/python/kdoc/latex_fonts.py that would cause a Sphinx crash without such markups. The series actually starts with 3 fixes: - avoid "*" markups on indexes with deep> 3 to override text - a variable rename to stop abusing doctree name - don't rely on cwd to get Documentation/ location patch 4 adds support to document scripts either at: - tools/ - scripts/ patch 5 contains a CSS to better display autodoc html output. For those who want to play with documentation, documenting a python file is very simple. All it takes is to use: .. automodule:: lib.python.<dir+name> Usually, we add a couple of control members to it to adjust the desired documentation scope (add/remove members, showing class inheritance, showing members that currently don't have docstrings, etc). That's why we're using: .. automodule:: lib.python.kdoc.enrich_formatter :members: :show-inheritance: :undoc-members: (and similar) inside tools/kdoc*.rst. autodoc allows filtering in/out members, file docstrings, etc. It also allows documenting just some members or functions with directives like: ..autofunction: ..automember: Sphinx also has a helper script to generate .rst files with documentation: $ sphinx-apidoc -o foobar tools/lib/python/ which can be helpful to discover what should be documented, although changes are needed to use what it produces.

2026-01-20docs: kdoc: fix logic to handle unissued warningsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset 469c1c9eb6c9 ("kernel-doc: Issue warnings that were silently discarded") didn't properly addressed the missing messages behavior, as it was calling directly python logger low-level function, instead of using the expected method to emit warnings. Basically, there are two methods to log messages: - self.config.log.warning() - This is the raw level to emit a warning. It just writes the a message at stderr, via python logging, as it is initialized as: self.config.log = logging.getLogger("kernel-doc") - self.config.warning() - This is where we actually consider a message as a warning, properly incrementing error count. Due to that, several parsing error messages are internally considered as success, causing -Werror to not work on such messages. While here, ensure that the last ignored entry will also be handled by adding an extra check at the end of the parse handler.

2025-12-22kdoc: allow dots in inline @param namesSteven Price
Inline kernel-doc blocks failed to parse tags containing dots (e.g. creator.process_name in panfrost_gem.h) because the @name regex only matched word characters. Modify the single-line pattern to match doc_inline_sect so it includes \. and parses the same as a multi-line comment.

2025-12-22kernel-doc: add support for handling global variablesMauro Carvalho Chehab
Specially on kAPI, sometimes it is desirable to be able to describe global variables that are part of kAPI. Documenting vars with Sphinx is simple, as we don't need to parse a data struct. All we need is the variable declaration and use native C domain ::c:var: to format it for us. Add support for it.

2025-11-18docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/pythonJonathan Corbet
"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. We already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries there, and update the users accordingly. While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".
