2021-12-23Documentation: livepatch: Add livepatch API pageDavid Vernet1-2/+2
The livepatch subsystem has several exported functions and objects with kerneldoc comments. Though the livepatch documentation contains handwritten descriptions of all of these exported functions, they are currently not pulled into the docs build using the kernel-doc directive. In order to allow readers of the documentation to see the full kerneldoc comments in the generated documentation files, this change adds a new Documentation/livepatch/api.rst page which contains kernel-doc directives to link the kerneldoc comments directly in the documentation. With this, all of the hand-written descriptions of the APIs now cross-reference the kerneldoc comments on the new Livepatching APIs page, and running ./scripts/find-unused-docs.sh on kernel/livepatch no longer shows any files as missing documentation. Note that all of the handwritten API descriptions were left alone with the exception of Documentation/livepatch/system-state.rst, which was updated to allow the cross-referencing to work correctly. The file now follows the cross-referencing formatting guidance specified in Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst. Furthermore, some comments around klp_shadow_free_all() were updated to say <_, id> rather than <*, id> to match the rest of the file, and to prevent the docs build from emitting an "Inline emphasis start-string without end string" error.

2019-05-08docs: livepatch: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+226
Convert livepatch documentation to ReST format. The changes are mostly trivial, as the documents are already on a good shape. Just a few markup changes are needed for Sphinx to properly parse the docs. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - The in-file TOC becomes a comment, in order to skip it from the output, as Sphinx already generates an index there. - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
