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. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
