f96163865a1346b199cc38e827269296f0f24ab0 - Merge tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 20:34:28 +0100

Merge tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linuxPull 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"* tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (164 commits) docs: makefile: move rustdoc check to the build wrapper README: restructure with role-based documentation and guidelines docs: kdoc: various fixes for grammar, spelling, punctuation docs: kdoc_parser: use '@' for Excess enum value docs: submitting-patches: Clarify that removal of Acks needs explanation too docs: kdoc_parser: add data/function attributes to ignore docs: MAINTAINERS: update Mauro's files/paths docs/zh_CN: Add wd719x.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add libsas.rst translation get_feat.pl: remove it, as it got replaced by get_feat.py Documentation/sphinx/kernel_feat.py: use class directly tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to Python Documentation/admin-guide: fix typo and comment in cscope example docs/zh_CN: Add data-integrity.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add blk-mq.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add block/index.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Update the Chinese translation of kbuild.rst docs: bring some order to our Python module hierarchy docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python Documentation/kernel-parameters: Move the kernel build options ...

34a28245b6a5c4227b7122c0ff9b98d22b39f033 - Merge branch 'python-modules' into docs-mw

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 17:26:11 +0100

Merge branch 'python-modules' into docs-mwscripts/lib was always a bit of an awkward place for Python libraries; givethem a proper home under tools/lib/python. Put the modules fromtools/docs/lib there for good measure.The second patch ties them into a single package namespace. It would bemore 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 addingan empty directory in the hierarchy, which isn't as pleasing.There are some other "Python library" directories hidden in the kerneltree; we may eventually want to encourage them to move as well.

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 23:04:29 +0100

docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. Wealready have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the librariesthere, and update the users accordingly.While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make anotherdirectory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Message-ID: <20251110220430.726665-2-corbet@lwn.net> List of files: /linux/scripts/jobserver-exec

3df5affb4be217b161d21a76c5763417d1cf743b - Merge branch 'build-script' into docs-mw

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 22:11:30 +0200

Merge branch 'build-script' into docs-mwQuoth 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 thescript. This way, the docs build steps is now documented.It should be noticed that it is out of the scope of this seriesto change the implementation. Surely the process can be improved,but first let's consolidate and document everything on a singleplace.Such script was written in a way that it can be called eitherdirectly or via a Makefile. Running outside Makefile isinteresting specially when debug is needed. The command lineinterface replaces the need of having lots of env vars beforecalling 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'rethere 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 htmldocswill make the wrapper to automatically use POSIX jobserver to claimthe number of available job slots, calling sphinx-build with a"-j" parameter reflecting it. ON such case, the default can beoverriden 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 linesare now displayed.

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:54:35 +0200

scripts/jobserver-exec: move the code to a classConvert the code inside jobserver-exec to a class andproperly document it.Using a class allows reusing the jobserver logic on otherscripts.While the main code remains unchanged, being compatible withPython 2.6 and 3.0+, its coding style now follows a moremodern standard, having tabs replaced by a 4-spacesindent, passing autopep8, black and pylint.The code allows using a pythonic way to enter/exit a pythoncode, e.g. it now supports: with JobserverExec() as jobserver: jobserver.run(sys.argv[1:])With the new code, the __exit__() function should ensurethat the jobserver slot will be closed at the end, even ifsomething bad happens somewhere.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Message-ID: <4749921b75d4e0bd85a25d4d94aa2c940fad084e.1758196090.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet List of files: /linux/scripts/jobserver-exec
