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"

# 11ba4215 21-Jan-2026 Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Merge branch 'mauro' into docs-mw

A combination of Mauro's -Werror work and my long-belated kernel-doc move.

# 32e9a424 19-Jan-2026 Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

docs: kdoc: move the return values to the helper message

It makes sense to describe what kernel-doc is expected to return
on its help message. Move such messages to argparse epilog.

docs: kdoc: move kernel-doc to tools/docs

kernel-doc is the last documentation-related tool still living outside of
the tools/docs directory; the time has come to move it over.
