2025-11-21Documentation/sphinx/kernel_feat.py: use class directlyMauro Carvalho Chehab1-13/+10
Now that get_feat is in Python, we don't need to use subprocess to fork an executable file: we can use the feature classes directly.

2025-11-21tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to PythonMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+5
As we want to call Python code directly at the Sphinx extension, convert get_feat.pl to Python. The code was made to be (almost) bug-compatible with the Perl version, with two exceptions: 1. Currently, Perl script outputs a wrong table if arch is set to a non-existing value; 2. the ReST table output when --feat is used without --arch has an invalid format, as the number of characters for the table delimiters are wrong. Those two bugs were fixed while testing the conversion. Additionally, another caveat was solved: the output when --feat is used without arch and the feature doesn't exist doesn't contain an empty table anymore.

2025-11-18docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/pythonJonathan Corbet3-3/+3
"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".

2025-10-17Merge branch 'build-script' into docs-mwJonathan Corbet3-94/+1
Quoth Mauro: This series should probably be called: "Move the trick-or-treat build hacks accumulated over time into a single place and document them." as this reflects its main goal. As such: - it places the jobserver logic on a library; - it removes sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh; - the code now properly implements a jobserver-aware logic to do the parallelism when called via GNU make, failing back to "-j" when there's no jobserver; - converts check-variable-fonts.sh to Python and uses it via function call; - drops an extra script to generate man pages, adding a makefile target for it; - ensures that return code is 0 when PDF successfully builds; - about half of the script is comments and documentation. I tried to do my best to document all tricks that are inside the script. This way, the docs build steps is now documented. It should be noticed that it is out of the scope of this series to change the implementation. Surely the process can be improved, but first let's consolidate and document everything on a single place. Such script was written in a way that it can be called either directly or via a Makefile. Running outside Makefile is interesting specially when debug is needed. The command line interface replaces the need of having lots of env vars before calling sphinx-build: $ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --help usage: sphinx-build-wrapper [-h] [--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]] [--conf CONF] [--builddir BUILDDIR] [--theme THEME] [--css CSS] [--paper {,a4,letter}] [-v] [-j JOBS] [-i] [-V [VENV]] {cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs} Kernel documentation builder positional arguments: {cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs} Documentation target to build options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...] Specific directories to build --conf CONF Sphinx configuration file --builddir BUILDDIR Sphinx configuration file --theme THEME Sphinx theme to use --css CSS Custom CSS file for HTML/EPUB --paper {,a4,letter} Paper size for LaTeX/PDF output -v, --verbose place build in verbose mode -j, --jobs JOBS Sets number of jobs to use with sphinx-build -i, --interactive Change latex default to run in interactive mode -V, --venv [VENV] If used, run Sphinx from a venv dir (default dir: sphinx_latest) the only mandatory argument is the target, which is identical with "make" targets. The call inside Makefile doesn't use the last four arguments. They're there to help identifying problems at the build: -v makes the output verbose; -j helps to test parallelism; -i runs latexmk in interactive mode, allowing to debug PDF build issues; -V is useful when testing it with different venvs. When used with GNU make (or some other make which implements jobserver), a call like: make -j <targets> htmldocs will make the wrapper to automatically use POSIX jobserver to claim the number of available job slots, calling sphinx-build with a "-j" parameter reflecting it. ON such case, the default can be overriden via SPHINXDIRS argument. Visiable changes when compared with the old behavior: When V=0, the only visible difference is that: - pdfdocs target now returns 0 on success, 1 on failures. This addresses an issue over the current process where we it always return success even on failures; - it will now print the name of PDF files that failed to build, if any. In verbose mode, sphinx-build-wrapper and sphinx-build command lines are now displayed.
2025-10-17docs: kernel_include.py: use get_close_matches() to propose alternativesMauro Carvalho Chehab1-33/+31
Improve the suggestions algorithm by using get_close_matches() if no suggestions with the same name are found. As we're now building a dict, when the name is identical, but on a different domain, the search is O(1), making it a lot faster. The get_close_matches is also fast, as there is just one loop, instead of 3. This can be useful to detect typos on references, with could be the base of a futuere extension that will handle ref unmatches for the entire build, allowing someone to find typos and fix them. As difflib and get_close_matches are there since the early Python 3.x days, we don't need to handle any extra dependencies to use it. We're keeping the default values for the search, e.g. n=3, cutoff=0.6. With that, we now have things like: $ make SPHINXDIRS="userspace-api/media" htmldocs ... include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h:199: WARNING: Invalid xref: c:type:`v4l2_memory`.

2025-08-29docs: kernel_include.py: remove Include class inheritanceMauro Carvalho Chehab1-8/+32
While the original code came from the Sphinx Include class, such class is monolithic: it has only one function that does everything, and 3 variables that are used: - required_arguments - optional_arguments - option_spec So, basically those are the only members that remain from the original class, but hey! Those are the same vars that every other Sphinx directive extension has to define! In summary, keeping inheritance here doesn't make much sense. Worse than that, kernel-include doesn't support the current set of options that the original Include class has, but it also has its own set of options.

2025-08-29docs: kernel_include.py: allow cross-reference generationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-20/+74
kernel_include extension was originally designed to be used by the media comprehensive uAPI documentation, where, instead of simpler kernel-doc markups, the uAPI documentation is enriched with a larger text, with images, complex tables, graphs, etc. There, we wanted to include the much simpler yet documented .h file. This extension is needed to include files from other parts of the Kernel tree outside Documentation, because the original Sphinx include tag doesn't allow going outside of the directory passed via sphinx-build command line. Yet, the cross-references themselves to the full documentation were using a perl script to create cross-references against the comprehensive documentation. As the perl script is now converted to Phython and there is a Python class producing an include-compatible output with cross references, add two optional arguments to kernel_include.py: 1. :generate-cross-refs: If present, instead of reading the file, it calls ParseDataStructs() class, which converts C data structures into cross-references to be linked to ReST files containing a more comprehensive documentation; Don't use it together with :start-line: and/or :end-line:, as filtering input file line range is currently not supported. 2. :exception-file: Used together with :generate-cross-refs:. Points to a file containing rules to ignore C data structs or to use a different reference name, optionally using a different reference type.

As reported by Donald, this code: rst_parser = RSTParser() rst_parser.parse('\n'.join(result), document) breaks line parsing. As an alternative, I tested a variant of it: rst_parser.parse(result, document) but still line number was not preserved. As Donald noted, standard Parser classes don't have a direct mechanism to preserve line numbers from ViewList(). So, instead, let's use a mechanism similar to what we do already at kerneldoc.py: call the statemachine mechanism directly there. I double-checked when states and statemachine were introduced: both were back in 2002. I also tested doc build with docutils 0.16 and 0.21.2. It worked with both, so it seems to be stable enough for our needs.

2024-09-05docs: kerneldoc-preamble.sty: Suppress extra spaces in CJK literal blocksAkira Yokosawa1-0/+2
In zh_CN part of translations.pdf, there are several ASCII-art diagrams whose vertical lines look sometimes jagged. This is due to the interference between default settings of xeCJK and fancyvrb (employed in sphinxVerbatim env), where extra space is inserted between a latin char and a non-latin char when they are next to each other (i.e., no explicit white space). This issue can be suppressed by invoking \CJKsetecglue{} at the beginning of every sphinxVerbatim enviornment. \AtBeginEnvironment, provided by the etoolbox package, is useful in this case.

2024-04-10docs: Detect variable fonts and suggest denylisting themAkira Yokosawa1-4/+5
Fedora and openSUSE has started deploying "variable font" [1] format Noto CJK fonts [2, 3]. "CJK" here stands for "Chinese, Japanese, and Korean". Unfortunately, XeTeX/XeLaTeX doesn't understand those fonts for historical reasons and builds of translations.pdf end up in errors if such fonts are present on the build host. To help developers work around the issue, add a script to check the presence of "variable font" Noto CJK fonts and to emit suggestions. The script is invoked in the error path of "make pdfdocs" so that the suggestions are made only when a PDF build actually fails. The first suggestion is to denylist those "variable font" files by activating a per-user and command-local fontconfig setting. For further info and backgrounds, please refer to the header comment of scripts/check-variable-font.sh newly added in this commit.

2024-03-03docs: drop the version constraints for sphinx and dependenciesLukas Bulwahn1-5/+2
As discussed (see Links), there is some inertia to move to the recent Sphinx versions for the doc build environment. As first step, drop the version constraints and the related comments. As sphinx depends on jinja2, jinja2 is pulled in automatically. So drop that. Then, the sphinx-pre-install script will fail though with: Can't get default sphinx version from ./Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt at ./scripts/sphinx-pre-install line 305. The script simply expects to parse a version constraint with Sphinx in the requirements.txt. That version is used in the script for suggesting the virtualenv directory name. To suggest a virtualenv directory name, when there is no version given in the requirements.txt, one could try to guess the version that would be downloaded with 'pip install -r Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt'. However, there seems no simple way to get that version without actually setting up the venv and running pip. So, instead, name the directory with the fixed name 'sphinx_latest'. Finally update the Sphinx build documentation to reflect this directory name change.

2023-12-19docs: translations: add translations links when they existVegard Nossum2-0/+116
Add a new Sphinx extension that knows about the translations of kernel documentation and can insert links to the translations at the top of the document. It basically works like this: 1. Register a new node type, LanguagesNode. 2. Register a new transform, TranslationsTransform, that inserts a new LanguageNode at the top of every document. The LanguageNode contains "pending references" to translations of the document. The key here is that these are pending (i.e. unresolved) references that may or may not actually exist. 3. Register a 'doctree-resolved' event that iterates over all the LanguageNode nodes. Any unresolved references are filtered out; the list of resolved references is passed to the 'translations.html' template and rendered as an HTML node (if HTML output is selected). Testing: make htmldocs, make latexdocs with Sphinx v4.3.2 and Firefox. v2: - changed bar into a drop-down menu - fixed language labels - fixed hysteresis reported by Akira Yokosawa Cc: Federico Vaga <federico.vaga@vaga.pv.it> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@gmail.com> Cc: Yanteng Si <siyanteng@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231215123701.2712807-1-vegard.nossum@oracle.com

2022-08-18docs: kerneldoc-preamble: Test xeCJK.sty before loadingAkira Yokosawa1-6/+16
On distros whose texlive packaging is fine-grained, texlive-xecjk can be installed/removed independently of other texlive packages. Conditionally loading xeCJK depending only on the existence of the "Noto Sans CJK SC" font might end up in xelatex error of "xeCJK.sty not found!". Improve the situation by testing existence of xeCJK.sty before loading it. This is useful on RHEL 9 and its clone distros where texlive-xecjk doesn't work at the moment due to a missing dependency [1]. "make pdfdocs" for non-CJK contents should work after removing texlive-xecjk.

Quote from Jon's remark [1]: I do notice that Documentation/conf.py is getting large and unapproachable. At some future point, it might be nice to pull all of the latex stuff out into a separate file where it won't scare people who stumble into it by accident. Pull LaTeX preamble settings added since commit 3b4c963243b1 ("docs: conf.py: adjust the LaTeX document output") out into sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty. It will be copied to the build directory by the added "latex_additional_files" setting in conf.py. As a bonus, LaTeX/TeX code can be maintained without escaping backslashes.

2022-02-09docs: sphinx/kfigure.py: Use inkscape(1) for SVG -> PDF conversionAkira Yokosawa1-20/+48
Using convert(1) of ImageMagick for SVG -> PDF conversion results in PDFs containing raster (bitmap) images which sometimes look blurry. Ideally speaking, SVG to PDF conversion should retain vector graphics in SVG. rsvg-convert(1) can do such conversions with regard to SVG files generated by dot(1). Unfortunately, rsvg-convert(1) does not cover some of SVG features specific to Inkscape. inkscape(1) of Inkscape naturally covers such SVG features. So add a route in svg2pdf() so that inkscape(1) is used when it is available. Note: After this change, if you have Inkscape installed, ImageMagick nor librsvg are not required.

2022-02-09docs: sphinx/kfigure.py: Use rsvg-convert(1) for DOT -> PDF conversionAkira Yokosawa1-2/+44
On openSUSE, dot(1) command does not support direct PDF output. On other distros, generated PDF images have unnecessarily wide margins, especially for small graphs. By using dot(1) for DOT -> SVG, then rsvg-convert(1) for SVG -> PDF, more optimal PDF images can be obtained, with the bonus of improved portability across various distros. Add rules in kfigure.py so that the above mentioned route is taken when rsvg-convert(1) is available. Note that rsvg-convert(1) is recommended by sphinx_pre_install. So it is most likely that existing systems for building pdfdocs have rsvg-convert(1) installed. Note: SVG features supported by rsvg-convert(1) vary depending on its version and distro config. For example, the one found on Ubuntu Bionic (version 2.40.20) does poor job in rendering some of SVG files drawn by Inkscape. SVG files generated by dot(1) are converted nicely even with such old versions of rsvg-convert. So this change does not affect the quality of such figures in any way.

2022-01-07docs: automarkup.py: Fix invalid HTML link output and broken URI fragmentsJames Clark1-7/+18
Since commit d18b01789ae5 ("docs: Add automatic cross-reference for documentation pages"), references that were already explicitly defined with "ref:" and referred to other pages with a path have been doubled. This is reported as the following error by Firefox: Start tag "a" seen but an element of the same type was already open. End tag "a" violates nesting rules. As well as the invalid HTML, this also obscures the URI fragment links to subsections because the second link overrides the first. For example on the page admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.html the last link should be to the "Default Mitigations" subsection using a # URI fragment: admin-guide/hw-vuln/l1tf.html#default-mitigations But it is obsured by a second link to the whole page: admin-guide/hw-vuln/l1tf.html The full HTML with the double <a> tags looks like this: <a class="reference internal" href="l1tf.html#default-mitigations"> <span class="std std-ref"> <a class="reference internal" href="l1tf.html"> <span class="doc">L1TF - L1 Terminal Fault</span> </a> </span> </a> After this commit, there is only a single link: <a class="reference internal" href="l1tf.html#default-mitigations"> <span class="std std-ref">Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln//l1tf.rst</span> </a> Now that the second link is removed, the browser correctly jumps to the default-mitigations subsection when clicking the link. The fix is to check that nodes in the document to be modified are not already references. A reference is counted as any text that is a descendant of a reference type node. Only plain text should be converted to new references, otherwise the doubling occurs. Testing ======= * Test that the build stdout is the same (ignoring ordering), and that no new warnings are printed. * Diff all .html files and check that the only modifications occur to the bad double links. * The auto linking of bare references to pages without "ref:" is still working.

When automarkup parsed a text like "struct struct" in the documentation, it tried to cross-reference to a "struct" symbol, which is recognized as a C reserved word by Sphinx 3, generating a warning.

With the transition to Sphinx 3, new warnings were generated by automarkup, exposing bugs in the regexes. The warnings were caused by the expressions matching words in the translated versions of the documentation, since any unicode character was matched.

While most of the C domain parsing is done via kernel-doc, some RST files use C domain tags directly. While several of them can be removed for Sphinx < 3.0, due to automarkup.py, and several others that could be converted into kernel-doc markups, changes like that are time-consuming, and may not fit all cases. As we already have the cdomain.py for handing backward compatibility with Sphinx versions below 3.0, let's make it more complete, in order to cover any usage of the newer tags outside kernel-doc. This way, it should be feasible to use the new tags inside the Kernel tree, without losing backward compatibility. This should allow fixing the remaining warnings with the Kernel tags.

As part of changing the documentation subsystem to properly build with Sphinx 3.1+, add support for such new tag: .. c:namespace::" Such tag optionally replaces the optional "name" tag for functions, setting a single namespace domain for all C references found at the file.

So, add an optional parameter to allow changing the Sphinx dialect. As kernel-doc can also be manually called, keep the auto-detection logic if the parameter was not specified. On such case, emit a warning if sphinx-build can't be found at PATH. I ended using a suggestion from Joe for using a more readable regex, instead of using a complex one with a hidden group like: m/^(\d+)\.(\d+)(?:\.?(\d+)?)/ in order to get the optional <patch> argument.

Cross-referencing to other documentation pages is possible using the :doc:`doc-file` directive from Sphinx. Add automatic markup for references to other documentation pages in the format Documentation/subfolder/doc-file.rst (the extension being optional).

In order to have the MAINTAINERS file visible in the rendered ReST output, this makes some small changes to the existing MAINTAINERS file to allow for better machine processing, and adds a new Sphinx directive "maintainers-include" to perform the rendering. Features include: - Per-subsystem reference links: subsystem maintainer entries can be trivially linked to both internally and external. For example: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainers.html#secure-computing - Internally referenced .rst files are linked so they can be followed when browsing the resulting rendering. This allows, for example, the future addition of maintainer profiles to be automatically linked. - Field name expansion: instead of the short fields (e.g. "M", "F", "K"), use the indicated inline "full names" for the fields (which are marked with "*"s in MAINTAINERS) so that a rendered subsystem entry is more human readable. Email lists are additionally comma-separated.

2019-05-23doc: Cope with Sphinx logging deprecationsJonathan Corbet3-21/+59
Recent versions of sphinx will emit messages like: Documentation/sphinx/kerneldoc.py:103: RemovedInSphinx20Warning: app.warning() is now deprecated. Use sphinx.util.logging instead. Switch to sphinx.util.logging to make this unsightly message go away. Alas, that interface was only added in version 1.6, so we have to add a version check to keep things working with older sphinxes.

2018-06-30Documentation/sphinx: allow "functions" with no parametersMike Rapoport1-3/+7
When kernel-doc:: specified in .rst document without explicit directives, it outputs both comment and DOC: sections. If a DOC: section was explicitly included in the same document it will be duplicated. For example, the output generated for Documentation/core-api/idr.rst [1] has "IDA description" in the "IDA usage" section and in the middle of the API reference. This patch enables using "functions" directive without parameters to output all the documentation excluding DOC: sections.

2017-08-31Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc decode for non-utf-8 localeJani Nikula1-5/+3
On python3, Popen() universal_newlines=True converts the subprocess stdout to unicode text using a codec based on user preferences. Given LANG indicating ascii and utf-8 stdout from the subprocess, you'd get: WARNING: kernel-doc '../scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno ../drivers/media/dvb-core/demux.h' processing failed with: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6368: ordinal not in range(128) Fix this by dropping universal_newlines=True and replacing the implicit LANG specific decode with an explicit utf-8 decode. This also gets rid of the annoying conditional code for python 2 vs. 3.

2016-09-01docs: sphinx-extensions: add metadata parallel-safeMarkus Heiser3-0/+21
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.

2016-08-22doc-rst: moved *duplicate* warnings to nitpicky modeMarkus Heiser1-0/+27
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.

2016-07-08doc-rst: add kernel-include directiveMarkus Heiser1-0/+183
The kernel-include directive is needed to include the auto generated rst content from a build (pre-) process. E.g. the linux_tv Makefile generates intermediate reST-files from header files. Since there is a O= option: make O=dir [targets] Locate all output files in "dir" We need to include intermediate reST files from arbitrary (O=/tmp/foo) locations: The 'kernel-include' reST-directive is a replacement for the 'include' directive. The 'kernel-include' directive expand environment variables in the path name and allows to include files from arbitrary locations. .. hint:: Including files from arbitrary locations (e.g. from '/etc') is a security risk for builders. This is why the 'include' directive from docutils *prohibit* pathnames pointing to locations *above* the filesystem tree where the reST document with the include directive is placed. Substrings of the form $name or ${name} are replaced by the value of environment variable name. Malformed variable names and references to non-existing variables are left unchanged.
