2022-10-18Merge branch 'alabaster-rb' into docs-mwJonathan Corbet1-11/+5
For a long time we have rejoiced that our HTML output from Sphinx is far better than what we got from the old DocBook toolchain. But it still leaves a lot to be desired; the following is an attempt to improve the situation somewhat. Sphinx has a theming mechanism for HTML rendering. Since the kernel's adoption of Sphinx, we have been using the "Read The Docs" theme — a choice made in a bit of a hurry to have *something* while figuring out the rest. RTD is OK, but it is not hugely attractive, requires the installation of an extra package, and does not observe all of the Sphinx configuration parameters. Among other things, that makes it hard to put reasonable contents into the left column in the HTML output. The Alabaster theme is the default for Sphinx installations, and is bundled with Sphinx itself. It has (IMO) nicer output and gives us the control that we need. So: switch to Alabaster. Additional patches adjust the documentation and remove the RTD references from scripts/sphinx-pre-install. The penultimate patch changes the way that kerneldoc declarations are rendered to (IMO) improve readability. That requires some changes to kernel-doc to output a new container block and some CSS tweaks to improve things overall. It should be noted that I have a long history of inflicting ugly web designs on the net; this work is a start, but I think we could do far better yet. It would be great if somebody who actually enjoys working with CSS and such would help to improve what we have.

Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing practice once this initial infrastructure series lands. The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers - NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1 GPU[5]) on the way. The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas: - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format) - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts) - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build - Rust kernel documentation and samples Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have contributed both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream Rust side to support the kernel's needs.

2022-09-28docs: add Rust documentationMiguel Ojeda1-0/+3
Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module (e.g. drivers) written across the kernel. However, these documents contain general information that does not fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide. It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the documentation folder.

2019-11-07kernel-doc: rename the kernel-doc directive 'functions' to 'identifiers'Changbin Du1-13/+16
The 'functions' directive is not only for functions, but also works for structs/unions. So the name is misleading. This patch renames it to 'identifiers', which specific the functions/types to be included in documentation. We keep the old name as an alias of the new one before all documentation are updated.

2018-11-07doc-guide:kernel-doc.rst: Reference to foobarJoris Gutjahr1-1/+1
In the Function documentation Section of kernel-doc.rst there is a function_name() function as an example for how to make a comment about a function. But at the end of that example there is a reference to foobar instead of function_name. I think that should rather be function_name, because that was the placeholder the whole example was using.

2018-06-30Documentation/sphinx: allow "functions" with no parametersMike Rapoport1-2/+7
When kernel-doc:: specified in .rst document without explicit directives, it outputs both comment and DOC: sections. If a DOC: section was explicitly included in the same document it will be duplicated. For example, the output generated for Documentation/core-api/idr.rst [1] has "IDA description" in the "IDA usage" section and in the middle of the API reference. This patch enables using "functions" directive without parameters to output all the documentation excluding DOC: sections.

From now on, I'll start using my @kernel.org as my development e-mail. As such, let's remove the entries that point to the old mchehab@s-opensource.com at MAINTAINERS file. For the files written with a copyright with mchehab@s-opensource, let's keep Samsung on their names, using mchehab+samsung@kernel.org, in order to keep pointing to my employer, with sponsors the work. For the files written before I join Samsung (on July, 4 2013), let's just use mchehab@kernel.org. For bug reports, we can simply point to just kernel.org, as this will reach my mchehab+samsung inbox anyway.
