2013-11-13kernel-doc: improve "no structured comments found" errorJohannes Berg1-0/+6
When using '!Ffile function' in a docbook template, and the function no longer exists, you get a "no structured comments found" error from the kernel-doc processing script. It's useful to know which functions it was looking for, so print them out in this case. Also do the same for '!Pfile doc-section' The same error also happens when using '!Efile' when some exported functions aren't documented (in the same file.) There's a very large number of such functions though, so don't print the message in this case -- right now it would give ~850 messages.

2013-11-07scripts/kernel-doc: make unknown function prototype a Warning instead of an ↵Randy Dunlap1-2/+1
Error When scripts/kernel-doc cannot understand a function prototype, it had been generating a fatal error and stopping immediately. Make this a Warning instead of an Error and keep going. Note that this can happen if the kernel-doc notation that is being parsed is not actually a function prototype; maybe it's a struct or something else, so I added "function" to the warning message to try to make it clearer that scripts/kernel-doc is looking for a function prototype here.

2013-02-28scripts/kernel-doc: handle struct member __aligned without numbersNishanth Menon1-1/+1
Commit ef5da59f1260 ("scripts/kernel-doc: handle struct member __aligned") permits "char something [123] __aligned(8);". However, by using \d we constraint ourselves with integers. This is not always the case. In fact, it might be better to do char something[123] __aligned(sizeof(u16)); For example, With wireless_dev defining: u8 address[ETH_ALEN] __aligned(sizeof(u16)); With \d, scripts/kernel-doc erroneously says: Warning(include/net/cfg80211.h:2618): Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'address' description in 'wireless_dev' This is because the regex __aligned\s*\(\d+\) fails match at \d as sizeof is used. So replace \d with . to indicate "something" in kernel-doc to ignore __aligned(SOMETHING) in structs. With this change, we can use integers OR sizeof() or macros as we please.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the last of the __dev* markings from the kernel from a variety of different, tiny, places. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

If a function has a return value, but its kernel-doc comment doesn't contain a "Return" section, then emit the following warning: Warning(file.h:129): No description found for return value of 'fct' Note: This check emits a lot of warnings at the moment, because many functions don't have a 'Return' doc section.

2012-10-05kernel-doc: don't mangle whitespace in Example sectionDaniel Santos1-2/+7
A section with the name "Example" (case-insensitive) has a special meaning to kernel-doc. These sections are output using mono-type fonts. However, leading whitespace is stripped, thus robbing a lot of meaning from this, as indented code examples will be mangled. This patch preserves the leading whitespace for "Example" sections. More accurately, it preserves it for all sections, but removes it later if the section isn't an "Example" section.

Move 'main' code vs. subroutines around so that they are not so intermixed, for better readability/understanding (relative to Perl). It was messy to follow the primary flow of code execution with the code being mixed. Now the code begins with data initialization, followed by all subroutines, then ends with the main code execution.

To help finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as warnings.

The problem is that $. keeps track of the current record number (which is line number by default).

2009-12-02tracing: Add DEFINE_EVENT(), DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT() support to docbookJason Baron1-3/+12
The introduction of the new 'DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()' obviates the need for the 'TRACE_EVENT()' macro in some cases. Thus, docbook style comments that used to live with 'TRACE_EVENT()' are now moved to 'DEFINE_EVENT()'. Thus, we need to make the docbook system understand the new 'DEFINE_EVENT()' macro. In addition I've tried to futureproof the patch, by also adding support for 'DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT()', since there has been discussion about renaming: TRACE_EVENT() -> DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(). Without this patch the tracepoint docbook fails to build. I've verified that this patch correctly builds the tracepoint docbook which currently covers signals, and irqs.

2008-08-06kernel-doc: skip nested struct/union cleanlyRandy Dunlap1-1/+1
Fix handling of nested structs or unions. The regex to strip (eliminate) nested structs or unions was limited to only 0 or 1 matches. This can cause an uneven number of left/right braces to be stripped, which causes this: Warning(linux-2.6.27-rc1-git2//include/net/mac80211.h:336): No description found for parameter '}' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Handle __init in functions with kernel-doc notation by stripping the __init away from the output doc. This is already being done for "__devinit".

2008-04-28kernel-doc: detect/prevent duplicate doc section namesRandy Dunlap1-7/+13
I saw this problem recently. With this kernel-doc: * Note: some important info * * Note: other important info kernel-doc uses the "section name" (preceding the ':', like "Note") as a hash key for storing the descriptive text ("blah important info"). It is (was) possible to have duplicate (colliding) section names, without any kind of warning or error. kernel-doc happily used the latter descriptive text for all instances of printing the <section-name> descriptive text and the former important info was lost. One way to "fix" this is to modify the kernel-doc comments, e.g.: * Note1: foo bar * * Note.2: blah zay For now, kernel-doc will signal an error when it sees colliding section names like this.

2008-02-24kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsingRichard Kennedy1-3/+3
When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c. The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..." in combination with: Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter '' The function pointers are defined without a * i.e. int (drv_callback)(struct request *) The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't. This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ? The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c. However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't normally. I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it should not be used and will removed at some point).
