docs: ABI: move README contents to the top

2025-02-13T16:47:44+00:00

The ABI documentation looks a little bit better if it starts with the contents of the README is placed at the beginning. Move it to the beginning of the ABI chapter. While here, improve the README text and change the title that will be shown at the html/pdf output to be coherent with both ABI file contents and with the generated documentation output.

scripts/lib/abi/abi_parser.py: make it backward-compatible with Python 3.6

2025-02-10T18:19:57+00:00

Despite being introduced on Python 3.6, the original implementation was too limited: it doesn't accept anything but the argument. Even on python 3.10.12, support was still limited, as more complex operations cause SyntaxError: Exception occurred: File ".../linux/Documentation/sphinx/kernel_abi.py", line 48, in from get_abi import AbiParser File ".../linux/scripts/lib/abi/abi_parser.py", line 525 msg += f"{part}\n{"-" * len(part)}\n\n" ^ SyntaxError: f-string: expecting '}' Replace f-strings by normal string concatenation when it doesn't work on Python 3.6.

scripts/lib/abi/abi_parser.py: Rename title name for ABI files

This makes them look better when generating cross-references. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/e44574cb2796861d6acbce839068ed3ef385d16c.1739182025.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org

docs: sphinx/automarkup: add cross-references for ABI

2025-02-10T18:19:57+00:00

Now that all ABI files are handled together, we can add a feature at automarkup for it to generate cross-references for ABI symbols. The cross-reference logic can produce references for all existing files, except for README (as this is not parsed). For symbols, they need to be an exact match of what it is described at the docs, which is not always true due to wildcards. If symbols at /sys /proc and /config are identical, a cross-reference will be used.

docs: sphinx/kernel_abi: parse ABI files only once

2025-02-10T18:19:57+00:00

Right now, the logic parses ABI files on 4 steps, one for each directory. While this is fine in principle, by doing that, not all symbol cross-references will be created. Change the logic to do the parsing only once in order to get a global dictionary to be used when creating ABI cross-references.

scripts/get_abi.pl: add support to parse ABI README file

2025-02-10T18:19:57+00:00

The Documentation/ABI/README file is currently outside the documentation tree. Yet, it may still provide some useful information. Add it to the documentation parsing. As a plus, this avoids a warning when detecting missing cross-references.

scripts/get_abi.pl: Add filtering capabilities to rest output

docs: sphinx/kernel_abi: reduce buffer usage for ABI messages

2025-02-10T18:19:57+00:00

Instead of producing a big message with all ABI contents and then parse as a whole, simplify the code by handling each ABI symbol in separate. As an additional benefit, there's no need to place file/line nubers inlined at the data and use a regex to convert them.

docs: sphinx/kernel_abi: use AbiParser directly

2025-02-10T18:19:57+00:00

Instead of running get_abi.py script, import AbiParser class and handle messages directly there using an interactor. This shold save some memory, as there's no need to exec python inside the Sphinx python extension.

scripts/lib/abi/abi_parser.py: use an interactor for ReST output

2025-02-10T18:19:56+00:00

Instead of printing all results line per line, use an interactor to return each variable as a separate message. This won't change much when using it via command line, but it will help Sphinx integration by providing an interactor that could be used there to handle ABI symbol by symbol.
