Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc decode for non-utf-8 locale
On python3, Popen() universal_newlines=True converts the subprocess stdout to unicode text using a codec based on user preferences. Given LANG indicating ascii and utf-8 stdout from the subprocess, you'd get: WARNING: kernel-doc '../scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno ../drivers/media/dvb-core/demux.h' processing failed with: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6368: ordinal not in range(128) Fix this by dropping universal_newlines=True and replacing the implicit LANG specific decode with an explicit utf-8 decode. This also gets rid of the annoying conditional code for python 2 vs. 3. Fixes: ba3501859354 ("Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc extension on python3") Reference: http://mid.mail-archive.com/54c23e8e-89c0-5cea-0dcc-e938952c5642@infradead.org Reported-and-tested-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
