docs: kdoc: handle the obsolescensce of docutils.ErrorString()

2025-11-02T13:15:22+00:00

commit 00d95fcc4dee66dfb6980de6f2973b32f973a1eb upstream. The ErrorString() and SafeString() docutils functions were helpers meant to ease the handling of encodings during the Python 3 transition. There is no real need for them after Python 3.6, and docutils 0.22 removes them, breaking the docs build Handle this by just injecting our own one-liner version of ErrorString(), and removing the sole SafeString() call entirely.

docs: kernel_abi.py: fix command injection

2024-01-03T20:44:11+00:00

The kernel-abi directive passes its argument straight to the shell. This is unfortunate and unnecessary. Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True). This also makes the code shorter.

Documentation/sphinx: fix Python string escapes

2023-09-12T20:27:45+00:00

Python 3.6 introduced a DeprecationWarning for invalid escape sequences. This is upgraded to a SyntaxWarning in Python 3.12, and will eventually be a syntax error. Fix these now to get ahead of it before it's an error. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Gray Message-ID: <20230912060801.95533-3-bgray@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

scripts/get_abi: change the file/line number meta info

2022-03-28T19:53:46+00:00

In order to make it more standard and ReST compatible, change the meta-tag used with --enable-lineno from: #define LINENO to .. LINENO In practice, no functional changes.

docs: kernel_abi.py: add sphinx build dependencies

2022-03-28T19:53:46+00:00

Ensure that Sphinx-build will handle the files parsed by get_abi.pl as dependencies. This way, if they are touched, the ABI output will be regenerated.

Move our minimum Sphinx version to 1.7

2021-02-01T23:29:12+00:00

As promised, drop support for some ancient sphinx releases, along with a lot of the cruft that was required to make that support work. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: ABI: make it parse ABI/stable as ReST-compatible files

2020-10-30T12:07:02+00:00

Now that the stable ABI files are compatible with ReST, parse them without converting complex descriptions as literal blocks nor escaping special characters. Please notice that escaping special characters will probably be needed at descriptions, at least for the asterisk character.

docs: kernel_abi.py: Handle with a lazy Sphinx parser

2020-10-30T12:02:26+00:00

The Sphinx docutils parser is lazy: if the content is bigger than a certain number of lines, it silenlty stops parsing it, producing an incomplete content. This seems to be worse on newer Sphinx versions, like 2.0. So, change the logic to parse the contents per input file.

docs: kernel_abi.py: use --enable-lineno for get_abi.pl

2020-10-30T12:02:26+00:00

Just like kernel-doc extension, we need to be able to identify what part of an imported document has issues, as reporting them as: get_abi.pl rest --dir $srctree/Documentation/ABI/obsolete --rst-source:1689: ERROR: Unexpected indentation. Makes a lot harder for someone to fix. It should be noticed that it the line which will be reported is the line where the "What:" definition is, and not the line with actually has an error.
