The conversion script added some comments at the end.
They point to the original DocBook files, with will be
removed after the manual fixes. So, they'll be pointing
to nowere. So, remove those comments.

They'll be forever stored at the Kernel tree. So, if
someone wants the references, it is just a matter of
looking at the backlog.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab b7e67f6c1b doc-rst: linux_tv: supress lots of warnings
The c language parser checks if there are duplicated object
definitions. That causes lots of warnings like:
	WARNING: duplicate C object description of ioctl

Let's remove those by telling Sphinx that the language for
those objects are c++. The look of the descriptions will
be close, and the warnings will be gone.

Please notice that we had to keep a few of them as C, as
the c++ parser seems to be broken when it finds an enum.

Yet, this reduced from 219 warnings to 143, with is
a good thing.

Jani Nikula 88c2b57da4 kernel-doc: add support for specifying extra files for EXPORT_SYMBOLs
If the kernel-doc comments for functions are not in the same file as the
EXPORT_SYMBOL statements, the -export and -internal output selections do
not work as expected. This is typically the case when the kernel-doc
comments are in header files next to the function declarations and the
EXPORT_SYMBOL statements are next to the function definitions in the
source files.

Let the user specify additional source files in which to look for the
EXPORT_SYMBOLs using the new -export-file FILE option, which may be
given multiple times.

The pathological example for this is include/net/mac80211.h, which has
all the kernel-doc documentation for the exported functions defined in a
plethora of source files net/mac80211/*.c.

Jani Nikula 95b6be9d19 kernel-doc: do not warn about duplicate default section names
Since

commit 32217761ee
Author: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
Date:   Sun May 29 09:40:44 2016 +0300

    kernel-doc: concatenate contents of colliding sections

we started getting (more) errors on duplicate section names, especially
on the default section name "Description":

include/net/mac80211.h:3174: warning: duplicate section name 'Description'

This is usually caused by a slightly unorthodox placement of parameter
descriptions, like in the above case, and kernel-doc resetting back to
the default section more than once within a kernel-doc comment.

Ignore warnings on the duplicate section name automatically assigned by
kernel-doc, and only consider explicitly user assigned duplicate section
names an issue.

Daniel Vetter 0b0f5f29b2 scripts/kernel-doc: Add option to inject line numbers
Opt-in since this wreaks the rst output and must be removed
by consumers again. This is useful to adjust the linenumbers
for included kernel-doc snippets in shinx. With that sphinx
error message will be accurate when there's issues with the
rst-ness of the kernel-doc comments.

Especially when transitioning a new docbook .tmpl to .rst this
is extremely useful, since you can just use your editors compilation
quickfix list to accurately jump from error to error.

v2:
- Also make sure that we filter the LINENO for purpose/at declaration
  start so it only shows for selected blocks, not all of them (Jani).
  While at it make it a notch more accurate.
- Avoid undefined $lineno issues. I tried filtering these out at the
  callsite, but Jani spotted more when linting the entire kernel.
  Unamed unions and similar things aren't stored consistently and end
  up with an undefined line number (but also no kernel-doc text, just
  the parameter type). Simplify things and filter undefined line
  numbers in print_lineno() to catch them all.

v3: Fix LINENO 0 issue for kernel-doc comments without @param: lines
or any other special sections that directly jump to the description
after the "name - purpose" line. Only really possible for functions
without parameters. Noticed by Jani.

Daniel Vetter ebff7f929b scripts/kernel-doc: Remove duplicated DOC: start handling
Further up in the state machinery we switch from STATE_NAME to
STATE_DOCBLOCK when we match /$doc_block/. Which means this block of
code here is entirely unreachable, unless there are multiple DOC:
sections within a single kernel-doc comment.

Getting a list of all the files with more than one DOC: section using

$ git grep -c " * DOC:" | grep -v ":1$"

and then doing a full audit of them reveals there are no such comment
blocks in the kernel.

Supporting multiple DOC: sections in a single kernel-doc comment does
not seem like a recommended way of doing things anyway, so nuke the code
for simplicity.

Jani Nikula 32217761ee kernel-doc: concatenate contents of colliding sections
If there are multiple sections with the same section name, the current
implementation results in several sections by the same heading, with the
content duplicated from the last section to all. Even if there's the
error message, a more graceful approach is to combine all the
identically named sections into one, with concatenated contents.

With the supported sections already limited to select few, there are
massively fewer collisions than there used to be, but this is still
useful for e.g. when function parameters are documented in the middle of
a documentation comment, with description spread out above and
below. (This is not a recommended documentation style, but used in the
kernel nonetheless.)

We can now also demote the error to a warning.

Jani Nikula f624adef3d kernel-doc: limit the "section header:" detection to a select few
kernel-doc currently identifies anything matching "section header:"
(specifically a string of word characters and spaces followed by a
colon) as a new section in the documentation comment, and renders the
section header accordingly.

Unfortunately, this turns all uses of colon into sections, mostly
unintentionally. Considering the output, erroneously creating sections
when not intended is always worse than erroneously not creating sections
when intended. For example, a line with "http://example.com" turns into
a "http" heading followed by "//example.com" in normal text style, which
is quite ugly. OTOH, "WARNING: Beware of the Leopard" is just fine even
if "WARNING" does not turn into a heading.

It is virtually impossible to change all the kernel-doc comments, either
way. The compromise is to pick the most commonly used and depended on
section headers (with variants) and accept them as section headers.

The accepted section headers are, case insensitive:

 * description:
 * context:
 * return:
 * returns:

Additionally, case sensitive:

 * @return:

All of the above are commonly used in the kernel-doc comments, and will
result in worse output if not identified as section headers. Also,
kernel-doc already has some special handling for all of them, so there's
nothing particularly controversial in adding more special treatment for
them.

While at it, improve the whitespace handling surrounding section
names. Do not consider the whitespace as part of the name.

Jani Nikula ecbcfba126 kernel-doc/rst: change the output layout
Move away from field lists, and simply use **strong emphasis** for
section headings on lines of their own. Do not use rst section headings,
because their nesting depth depends on the surrounding context, which
kernel-doc has no knowledge of. Also, they do not need to end up in any
table of contexts or indexes.

There are two related immediate benefits. Field lists are typically
rendered in two columns, while the new style uses the horizontal width
better. With no extra indent on the left, there's no need to be as fussy
about it. Field lists are more susceptible to indentation problems than
the new style.

Jani Nikula 86ae2e38d4 kernel-doc: support printing exported and non-exported symbols
Currently we use docproc to figure out which symbols are exported, and
then docproc calls kernel-doc on specific functions, to get
documentation on exported functions. According to git blame and docproc
comments, this is due to historical reasons, as functions and their
corresponding EXPORT_SYMBOL* may have been in different files. However
for more than ten years the recommendation in CodingStyle has been to
place the EXPORT_SYMBOL* immediately after the closing function brace
line.

Additionally, the kernel-doc comments for functions are generally placed
above the function definition in the .c files (i.e. where the
EXPORT_SYMBOL* is) rather than above the declaration in the .h
files. There are some exceptions to this, but AFAICT none of these are
included in DocBook documentation using the "!E" docproc directive.

Therefore, assuming the EXPORT_SYMBOL* and kernel-doc are with the
function definition, kernel-doc can extract the exported vs. not
information by making two passes on the input file. Add support for that
via the new -export and -internal parameters.

Dom Cote 321958d971 scripts/gdb: improve types abstraction for gdb python scripts
Change the read_u16 function so it accepts both 'str' and 'byte' as type
for the arguments.

When calling read_memory() from gdb API, depending on if it was built
with 2.7 or 3.X, the format used to return the data will differ ( 'str'
for 2.7, and 'byte' for 3.X ).

Add a function read_memoryview() to be able to get a 'memoryview' object
back from read_memory() both with python 2.7 and 3.X .

Kieran Bingham 9f66dee720 scripts/gdb: add lx_thread_info_by_pid helper
The tasks module already provides helpers to find the task struct by
pid, and the thread_info by task struct; however this is cumbersome to
utilise on the gdb commandline.

Wrap these two functionalities together in an extra single helper to
allow exploring the thread info, from a PID value

Kieran Bingham e127a73d41 scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser
Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers
indexed by integer values.  This structure is utilised across many
structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and
several filesystems.

This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given
its head node.

Usage:

The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct
radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree.

The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast
correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure.

For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at
index 18, try the following:

 (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18)

Jan Kiszka 4bc393dbcf scripts/gdb: cast CPU numbers to integer
We won't see more than 2 billion CPUs any time soon, and having cpu_list
return long makes the output of lx-cpus a bit ugly.

Kieran Bingham b1503934a5 scripts/gdb: add cpu iterators
The linux kernel provides macro's for iterating against values from the
cpu_list masks.  By providing some commonly used masks, we can mirror
the kernels helper macros with easy to use generators.

Kieran Bingham c1a153992e scripts/gdb: add mount point list command
lx-mounts will identify current mount points based on the 'init_task'
namespace by default, as we do not yet have a kernel thread list
implementation to select the current running thread.

Optionally, a user can specify a PID to list from that process'
namespace

Kieran Bingham e7165a2d7d scripts/gdb: add io resource readers
Provide iomem_resource and ioports_resource printers and command hooks

It can be quite interesting to halt the kernel as it's booting and check
to see this list as it is being populated.

It should be useful in the event that a kernel is not booting, you can
identify what memory resources have been registered
