2025-11-18docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/pythonJonathan Corbet1-1/+1
"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".

2025-09-18scripts/jobserver-exec: add a help messageMauro Carvalho Chehab1-9/+13
Currently, calling it without an argument shows an ugly error message. Instead, print a message using pythondoc as description.

2025-09-18scripts/jobserver-exec: move its class to the lib directoryMauro Carvalho Chehab1-141/+11
To make it easier to be re-used, move the JobserverExec class to the library directory. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Message-ID: <6be7b161b6c005a9807162ebfd239af6a4e6fa47.1758196090.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2025-09-18scripts/jobserver-exec: move the code to a classMauro Carvalho Chehab1-67/+151
Convert the code inside jobserver-exec to a class and properly document it. Using a class allows reusing the jobserver logic on other scripts. While the main code remains unchanged, being compatible with Python 2.6 and 3.0+, its coding style now follows a more modern standard, having tabs replaced by a 4-spaces indent, passing autopep8, black and pylint. The code allows using a pythonic way to enter/exit a python code, e.g. it now supports: with JobserverExec() as jobserver: jobserver.run(sys.argv[1:]) With the new code, the __exit__() function should ensure that the jobserver slot will be closed at the end, even if something bad happens somewhere.

2023-01-16scripts: support GNU make 4.4 in jobserver-execMartin Liska1-5/+14
Starting with GNU make 4.4, --jobserver-auth newly uses named pipe (fifo) instead of part of opened file descriptors: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/POSIX-Jobserver.html Support also the new format.

2022-11-21scripts/jobserver-exec: parse the last --jobserver-auth= optionMasahiro Yamada1-1/+3
In the GNU Make manual, the section "Sharing Job Slots with GNU make" says: Be aware that the MAKEFLAGS variable may contain multiple instances of the --jobserver-auth= option. Only the last instance is relevant. Take the last element of the array, not the first.

2021-02-01kbuild: remove PYTHON variableMasahiro Yamada1-1/+1
Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the 'python' command any more. As in commit 51839e29cb59 ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"), we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3. This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing users to 'PYTHON3'. BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful material.

2019-11-22docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are madeKees Cook1-0/+66
Rasmus correctly observed that the existing jobserver reservation only worked if no other build targets were specified. The correct approach is to hold the jobserver slots until sphinx has finished. To fix this, the following changes are made: - refactor (and rename) scripts/jobserver-exec to set an environment variable for the maximally reserved jobserver slots and exec a child, to release the slots on exit. - create Documentation/scripts/parallel-wrapper.sh which examines both $PARALLELISM and the detected "-jauto" logic from Documentation/Makefile to decide sphinx's final -j argument. - chain these together in Documentation/Makefile Suggested-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eb25959a-9ec4-3530-2031-d9d716b40b20@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191121205929.40371-4-keescook@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
