Merge tag 'docs-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/docs/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "A busier cycle than I had expected for docs, including:
- Translations: some overdue updates to the Japanese translations, Chinese translations for some of the Rust documentation, and the beginnings of a Portuguese translation.
- New documents covering CPU isolation, managed interrupts, debugging Python gbb scripts, and more.
- More tooling work from Mauro, reducing docs-build warnings, adding self tests, improving man-page output, bringing in a proper C tokenizer to replace (some of) the mess of kernel-doc regexes, and more.
- Update and synchronize changes.rst and scripts/ver_linux, and put both into alphabetical order.
... and a long list of documentation updates, typo fixes, and general improvements"

Merge branch 'mauro' into docs-mw
Mauro says:
This patch series change how kdoc parser handles macro replacements.
Instead of heavily relying on regular expressions that can sometimes be very complex, it uses a C lexical tokenizer. This ensures that BEGIN/END blocks on functions and structs are properly handled, even when nested.
Checking before/after the patch series, for both man pages and rst only had: - whitespace differences; - struct_group macros now are shown as inner anonimous structs as it should be.
Also, I didn't notice any relevant change on the documentation build time. With that regards, right now, every time a CMatch replacement rule takes in place, it does:
for each transform: - tokenizes the source code; - handle CMatch; - convert tokens back to a string.
A possible optimization would be to do, instead:
- tokenizes source code; - for each transform handle CMatch; - convert tokens back to a string.
For now, I opted not do do it, because:
- too much changes on a single row; - docs build time is taking ~3:30 minutes, which is about the same time it ws taken before the changes; - there is a very dirty hack inside function_xforms: (KernRe(r"_noprof"), ""). This is meant to change function prototypes instead of function arguments.
So, if ok for you, I would prefer to merge this one first. We can later optimize kdoc_parser to avoid multiple token <-> string conversions.
-
One important aspect of this series is that it introduces unittests for kernel-doc. I used it a lot during the development of this series, to ensure that the changes I was doing were producing the expected results. Tests are on two separate files that can be executed directly.
Alternatively, there is a run.py script that runs all of them (and any other python script named tools/unittests/test_*.py"):
$ tools/unittests/run.py test_cmatch: TestSearch: test_search_acquires_multiple: OK test_search_acquires_nested_paren: OK test_search_acquires_simple: OK test_search_must_hold: OK test_search_must_hold_shared: OK test_search_no_false_positive: OK test_search_no_function: OK test_search_no_macro_remains: OK TestSubMultipleMacros: test_acquires_multiple: OK test_acquires_nested_paren: OK test_acquires_simple: OK test_mixed_macros: OK test_must_hold: OK test_must_hold_shared: OK test_no_false_positive: OK test_no_function: OK test_no_macro_remains: OK TestSubSimple: test_rise_early_greedy: OK test_rise_multiple_greedy: OK test_strip_multiple_acquires: OK test_sub_count_parameter: OK test_sub_mixed_placeholders: OK test_sub_multiple_placeholders: OK test_sub_no_placeholder: OK test_sub_single_placeholder: OK test_sub_with_capture: OK test_sub_zero_placeholder: OK TestSubWithLocalXforms: test_functions_with_acquires_and_releases: OK test_raw_struct_group: OK test_raw_struct_group_tagged: OK test_struct_group: OK test_struct_group_attr: OK test_struct_group_tagged_with_private: OK test_struct_kcov: OK test_vars_stackdepot: OK

unittests: add a runner to execute all unittests
We'll soon have multiple unit tests, add a runner that will discover all of them and execute all tests.
It was opted to discover only files that starts with "test", as this way unittest discover won't try adding libraries or other stuff that might not contain unittest classes.
