Merge tag 'docs-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/docs/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is
still a fair amount going on, including:

- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation

- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for
patch submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption
by generative tools

- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to
tools/docs. For now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink
behind to avoid breaking scripts

- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of
documentation in Python code, better support for documenting
variables, and lots of improvements and fixes

- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example --
to the online pages in the HTML build

...and the usual array of typo fixes and such"

Merge tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.

- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.

- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.

- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.

- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.

- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.

- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.

- A lot of Chinese translation additions

- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"

docs: makefile: move rustdoc check to the build wrapper

The makefile logic to detect if rust is enabled is not working
the way it was expected: instead of using the current setup
for CONFIG_RUST, it uses a cached version from a previous build.

The root cause is that the current logic inside docs/Makefile
uses a cached version of CONFIG_RUST, from the last time a non
documentation target was executed. That's perfectly fine for
Sphinx build, as it doesn't need to read or depend on any
CONFIG_*.

So, instead of relying at the cache, move the logic to the
wrapper script and let it check the current content of .config,
to verify if CONFIG_RUST was selected.

Merge branch 'python-modules' into docs-mw

scripts/lib was always a bit of an awkward place for Python libraries; give
them a proper home under tools/lib/python. Put the modules from
tools/docs/lib there for good measure.

The second patch ties them into a single package namespace. It would be
more aesthetically pleasing to add a kernel layer, so we could say:

from kernel.kdoc import kdoc_parser

...and have the kernel-specific stuff clearly marked, but that means adding
an empty directory in the hierarchy, which isn't as pleasing.

There are some other "Python library" directories hidden in the kernel
tree; we may eventually want to encourage them to move as well.

While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another

index.rst on it. The typical usecase for SPHINXDIRS is help
building subsystem-specific documentation, without needing to
wait for the entire building (with can take 3 minutes with
Sphinx 8.x and above, and a lot more with older versions).

Yet, the documentation for such feature was written back in
2016, where almost all index.rst files were at the first
level (Documentation/*/index.rst).

Merge branch 'tools-final2' into docs-mw

Our documentation-related tools are spread out over various directories;
several are buried in the scripts/ dumping ground. That makes them harder
to discover and harder to maintain.

Recent work has started accumulating our documentation-related tools in
/tools/docs. This series nearly completes that task, moving most of the
rest of our various utilities there, hopefully fixing up all of the
relevant references in the process.

The one exception is scripts/kernel-doc; that move turned up some other
problems, so I have dropped it until those are ironed out.

At the end, rather than move the old, Perl kernel-doc, I simply removed it.

Merge branch 'build-script' into docs-mw

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.
