Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh. So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum, and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation. This way, a quick help is still available at the command line, while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format. As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST file.

bitmap images don't scale too well. So, replace it by a SVG image, written in inkscape. I'm using the 2009's temporary logo.svg image from 8032b526 ("linux.conf.au 2009: Tuz"), with a Tasmanian Devil wearing a tux mask.

The pipeline image was produced from some dot file that has long missed. Create a pipeline.dot with the graph and convert it to SVG. As we're planning to add future support for graphviz graphics, also store the .dot file on the tree, as this will make easier when we add such Sphinx extension.

Add the appropriate markup to get the kerneldoc comments out of lib/debugobjects.c that have never seen the light of day until now. A logical next step, left for the reader at the moment, is to move the function descriptions *out* of debug-objects.rst and into the kerneldoc comments themselves.

A couple of the most minor heading tweaks, otherwise no changes to the text itself beyond the mechanical conversion. Note that the inclusion of the kerneldoc comments from the source has never worked, since exported symbols were asked for and none of those functions are exported to modules. It doesn't work here either :) Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Jani Nikula authored
kernel-doc supports documenting struct members "inline" since a4c6ebed ("scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation in struct body"). This requires the inline kernel-doc comments to have the opening and closing comment markers (/** and */ respectively) on lines of their own, even for short comments. For example: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** * @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Add support for one line inline comments: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Note that mixing of the two in one doc comment is not allowed; either both comment markers must be on lines of their own, or both must be on the one line. This limitation keeps both the comments more uniform, and kernel-doc less complicated.

Mauro says: This series address a series of errors during PDF generation from media documentation. The first patch fixes the late redefinition of a LaTeX command at the Sphinx LaTeX style that causes build to break when some cross-references are used. The next two patches fix PDF output issues with subdev-formats.rst. The next 3 patches fix image includes and their output for PDF. It is aligned with Linus request of not having binary-generated images from their SVG source codes. I still intend to move the remaing PNG images to vectorial ones (SVG), as image scale works better, but this will require some additional work. When done, I'll submit as a separate patch series. It should also be noticed that the last patch violates the output dir, when make is used with "O=some_dir", as Sphinx doesn't accept image files outside the source directory. We'll likely need some Sphinx extension in order to fix it, but at least with this series (plus Jani Nikola's PDF fix series), the PDF output should work fine again. [jc: added a commit fixing up a "make cleandocs" warning]

The PDF files that contain media images were actually generated offline from their SVG or PNG source files. Sphinx can handle PNG sources automatially. So, let's just drop their PDF counterparts. For SVG, however, Sphinx doesn't produce the right tags to use the TexLive SVG support. Also, the SVG support is done via shell execution, with is not nice. So, while we don't have any support for SVG inside Sphinx core or as an extension, move the logic to build them to Makefile, producing the PDF images on runtime. NOTE: due to the way Sphinx works, the PDF images should be generated inside the Kernel source tree, as otherwise Sphinx won't find it, not obeying what's specified by "O=" makefile parameter.
