2020-07-31scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errorsPierre-Louis Bossart
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. Credits to Randy Dunlap for suggesting the use of environment variables.

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.

2020-04-20scripts: kernel-doc: accept blank lines on parameter descriptionMauro Carvalho Chehab
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 <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c07d2862792d75a2691d69c9eceb7b89a0164cc0.1586881715.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2020-04-20scripts: kernel-doc: accept negation like !@varMauro Carvalho Chehab
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 <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/0314b47f8c3e1f9db00d5375a73dc3cddd8a21f2.1586881715.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2020-04-20scripts: kernel-doc: proper handle @foo->bar()Mauro Carvalho Chehab
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.

2020-04-15scripts/kernel-doc: Add missing close-paren in c:function directivesPeter Maydell
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.)

2019-11-07scripts/kernel-doc: Add support for named variable macro argumentsJonathan Neuschäfer
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 <j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> Tested-by: Paul E.

2019-10-01kernel-doc: fix processing nested structs with attributesAndré Almeida
The current regular expression for strip attributes of structs (and for nested ones as well) also removes all whitespaces that may surround the attribute. After that, the code will split structs and iterate for each symbol separated by comma at the end of struct definition (e.g. "} alias1, alias2;"). However, if the nested struct does not have any alias and has an attribute, it will result in a empty string at the closing bracket (e.g "};"). This will make the split return nothing and $newmember will keep uninitialized. Fix that, by ensuring that the attribute substitution will leave at least one whitespace.

2019-01-16kernel-doc: suppress 'not described' warnings for embedded struct fieldsJonathan Corbet
The ability to add kerneldoc comments for fields in embedded structures is useful, but it brought along a whole bunch of warnings for fields that could not be described before. In many cases, there's little value in adding docs for these nested fields, and in cases like: struct a { struct b { int c; } d, e; }; "c" would have to be described twice (as d.c and e.c) to make the warnings go away. We can no doubt do something smarter, but simply suppressing the warnings for this case removes about 70 warnings from the docs build, freeing us to focus on the ones that matter more. So make kerneldoc be silent about missing descriptions for any field containing a ".". Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2018-11-25scripts/kernel-doc: Fix struct and struct field attribute processingSakari Ailus
The kernel-doc attempts to clear the struct and struct member attributes from the API documentation it produces. It falls short of the job in the following respects: - extra whitespaces are left where __attribute__((...)) was removed, - only a single attribute is removed per struct, - attributes (such as aligned) containing numbers were not removed, - attributes are only cleared from struct fields, not structs themselves.

2018-10-18kernel-doc: fix declaration type determinationRandy Dunlap
Make declaration type determination more robust. When scripts/kernel-doc is deciding if some kernel-doc notation contains an enum, a struct, a union, a typedef, or a function, it does a pattern match on the beginning of the string, looking for a match with one of "struct", "union", "enum", or "typedef", and otherwise defaults to a function declaration type. However, if a function or a function-like macro has a name that begins with "struct" (e.g., struct_size()), then kernel-doc incorrectly decides that this is a struct declaration. Fix this by looking for the declaration type keywords having an ending word boundary (\b), so that "struct_size" will not match a struct declaration. I compared lots of html before/after output from core-api, driver-api, and networking. There were no differences in any of the files that I checked.

2018-02-20Merge branch 'kerneldoc2' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet
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.

2018-02-15docs: kernel-doc: Don't mangle literal code blocks in commentsJonathan Corbet
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.

I suspect that originally it was using the second argument of output_declaration(). I opted to not rely on a globally defined $declaration_name, but, instead, to pass it explicitly as a parameter. While here, I removed a unaligned check for !$anon_struct_union. This is not needed, as, if $anon_struct_union is not zero, $parameterdescs{$param} will be defined.

2017-12-21scripts: kernel-doc: get rid of $nested parameterMauro Carvalho Chehab
The check_sections() function has a $nested parameter, meant to identify when a nested struct is present. As we now have a logic that handles it, get rid of such parameter.

2017-12-21scripts: kernel-doc: parse next structs/unionsMauro Carvalho Chehab
There are several places within the Kernel tree with nested structs/unions, like this one: struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info { const char *name; enum { CGU_CLK_NONE = 0, CGU_CLK_EXT = BIT(0), CGU_CLK_PLL = BIT(1), CGU_CLK_GATE = BIT(2), CGU_CLK_MUX = BIT(3), CGU_CLK_MUX_GLITCHFREE = BIT(4), CGU_CLK_DIV = BIT(5), CGU_CLK_FIXDIV = BIT(6), CGU_CLK_CUSTOM = BIT(7), } type; int parents[4]; union { struct ingenic_cgu_pll_info pll; struct { struct ingenic_cgu_gate_info gate; struct ingenic_cgu_mux_info mux; struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div; struct ingenic_cgu_fixdiv_info fixdiv; }; struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom; }; }; Currently, such struct is documented as: **Definition** :: struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info { const char * name; }; **Members** ``name`` name of the clock With is obvioulsy wrong. It also generates an error: drivers/clk/ingenic/cgu.h:169: warning: No description found for parameter 'enum' However, there's nothing wrong with this kernel-doc markup: everything is documented there. It makes sense to document all fields there. So, add a way for the core to parse those structs. With this patch, all documented fields will properly generate documentation.

2017-12-21scripts: kernel-doc: replace tabs by spacesMauro Carvalho Chehab
Sphinx has a hard time dealing with tabs, causing it to misinterpret paragraph continuation. As we're now mainly focused on supporting ReST output, replace tabs by spaces, in order to avoid troubles when the output is parsed by Sphinx.

2017-12-21scripts: kernel-doc: change default to ReST formatMauro Carvalho Chehab
Right now, if kernel-doc is called without arguments, it defaults to man pages. IMO, it makes more sense to default to ReST, as this is the output that it is most used nowadays, and it easier to check if everything got parsed fine on an enriched text mode format.

2017-12-21scripts: kernel-doc: improve argument handlingMauro Carvalho Chehab
Right now, if one uses "--rst" instead of "-rst", it just ignore the argument and produces a man page. Change the logic to accept both "-cmd" and "--cmd". Also, if "cmd" doesn't exist, print the usage information and exit. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-12-21scripts: kernel-doc: get rid of unused output formatsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Since there isn't any docbook code anymore upstream, we can get rid of several output formats: - docbook/xml, html, html5 and list formats were used by the old build system; - As ReST is text, there's not much sense on outputting on a different text format. After this patch, only man and rst output formats are supported.

2017-12-11kernel-doc: parse DECLARE_KFIFO and DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR()Mauro Carvalho Chehab
On media, we now have an struct declared with: struct lirc_fh { struct list_head list; struct rc_dev *rc; int carrier_low; bool send_timeout_reports; DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR(rawir, unsigned int); DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR(scancodes, struct lirc_scancode); wait_queue_head_t wait_poll; u8 send_mode; u8 rec_mode; }; gpiolib.c has a similar declaration with DECLARE_KFIFO(). Currently, those produce the following error: ./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: No description found for parameter 'int' ./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: No description found for parameter 'lirc_scancode' ./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: Excess struct member 'rawir' description in 'lirc_fh' ./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: Excess struct member 'scancodes' description in 'lirc_fh' ../drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:601: warning: No description found for parameter '16' ../drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:601: warning: Excess struct member 'events' description in 'lineevent_state' So, teach kernel-doc how to parse DECLARE_KFIFO() and DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR().

2017-12-02scripts/kernel-doc: Don't fail with status != 0 if error encountered with -noneWill Deacon
My bisect scripts starting running into build failures when trying to compile 4.15-rc1 with the builds failing with things like: drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union! The line in question is actually just a #define, but after some digging it turns out that my scripts pass W=1 and since commit 3a025e1d1c2ea ("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") that results in kernel-doc running on each source file. The file in question has a badly formatted comment immediately before the #define: /** * struct brcmf_skbuff_cb reserves first two bytes in sk_buff::cb for * bus layer usage. */ which causes the regex in dump_struct to fail (lack of braces following struct declaration) and kernel-doc returns 1, which causes the build to fail. Fix the issue by always returning 0 from kernel-doc when invoked with -none. It successfully generates no documentation, and prints out any issues.
