kernel-doc: Issue warnings that were silently discarded
When kernel-doc parses the sections for the documentation some errors
may occur. In many cases the warning is simply stored to the current

discarded and there is no way for the output engine to even know about
that. To avoid that, check if the "entry" is going to be discarded and
if there warnings have been collected, issue them to the current logger
as is and then flush the "entry". This fixes the problem that original

KernelEntry class, which looks like:
self.emit_msg(self.new_start_line, f"duplicate section name '{name}'\n")
This looks like all the other emit_msg calls. Unfortunately, the definition
within the KernelEntry class takes only a message parameter and not a line
number. The intended message is passed as the warning!
Pass the filename to the KernelEntry class, and use this to build the log
message in the same way as the KernelDoc class does.
To avoid future errors, mark the warning parameter for both emit_msg
definitions as a keyword-only argument. This will prevent accidentally
passing a string as the warning parameter in the future.
Also fix the call in dump_section to avoid an unnecessary additional
newline.

Merge branch 'build-script' into docs-mw
Quoth Mauro:
This series should probably be called:
"Move the trick-or-treat build hacks accumulated over time
into a single place and document them."
as this reflects its main goal. As such:
- it places the jobserver logic on a library;
- it removes sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh;
- the code now properly implements a jobserver-aware logic
to do the parallelism when called via GNU make, failing back to
"-j" when there's no jobserver;
- converts check-variable-fonts.sh to Python and uses it via
function call;
- drops an extra script to generate man pages, adding a makefile
target for it;
- ensures that return code is 0 when PDF successfully builds;
- about half of the script is comments and documentation.
I tried to do my best to document all tricks that are inside the
script. This way, the docs build steps is now documented.
It should be noticed that it is out of the scope of this series
to change the implementation. Surely the process can be improved,
but first let's consolidate and document everything on a single
place.
Such script was written in a way that it can be called either
directly or via a Makefile. Running outside Makefile is
interesting specially when debug is needed. The command line
interface replaces the need of having lots of env vars before
calling sphinx-build:
positional arguments:
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Documentation target to build
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]
Specific directories to build
--conf CONF Sphinx configuration file
--builddir BUILDDIR Sphinx configuration file
--theme THEME Sphinx theme to use
--css CSS Custom CSS file for HTML/EPUB
--paper {,a4,letter} Paper size for LaTeX/PDF output
-v, --verbose place build in verbose mode
-j, --jobs JOBS Sets number of jobs to use with sphinx-build
-i, --interactive Change latex default to run in interactive mode
-V, --venv [VENV] If used, run Sphinx from a venv dir (default dir: sphinx_latest)
the only mandatory argument is the target, which is identical with
"make" targets.
The call inside Makefile doesn't use the last four arguments. They're
there to help identifying problems at the build:
-v makes the output verbose;
-j helps to test parallelism;
-i runs latexmk in interactive mode, allowing to debug PDF
build issues;
-V is useful when testing it with different venvs.
When used with GNU make (or some other make which implements jobserver),
a call like:
make -j <targets> htmldocs
will make the wrapper to automatically use POSIX jobserver to claim
the number of available job slots, calling sphinx-build with a
"-j" parameter reflecting it. ON such case, the default can be
overriden via SPHINXDIRS argument.
Visiable changes when compared with the old behavior:
When V=0, the only visible difference is that:
- pdfdocs target now returns 0 on success, 1 on failures.
This addresses an issue over the current process where we
it always return success even on failures;
- it will now print the name of PDF files that failed to build,
if any.
In verbose mode, sphinx-build-wrapper and sphinx-build command lines
are now displayed.

Merge branch 'media-uapi' into docs-mw
Mauro says:
In the past, media used Docbook to generate documentation, together
with some logic to ensure that cross-references would match the
actual defined uAPI.
The rationale is that we wanted to automatically check for uAPI
documentation gaps.
The same logic was migrated to Sphinx. Back then, broken links
were reported. However, recent versions of it and/or changes at
conf.py disabled such checks.
The result is that several symbols are now not cross-referenced,
and we don't get warnings anymore when something breaks.
This series consist on 2 parts:
Part 1: extra patches to parse_data_structs.py and kernel_include.py;
Part 2: media documentation fixes.
docs: cec: show broken xrefs and show TOC instead of cec.h content
Enable xref broken warnings. While here, change the output to
only show cross-references, as there's no need to show the entire cec.h
header at the docs.
docs: media: add missing c namespace to V4L headers
Media references belong to V4L namespace. Fix a lot of broken
links when including videodev2.h and probably fixing several
other broken cross-references between different files inside
media docs.
docs: kernel_include.py: use get_close_matches() to propose alternatives
Improve the suggestions algorithm by using get_close_matches() if
no suggestions with the same name are found. As we're now building
a dict, when the name is identical, but on a different domain,
the search is O(1), making it a lot faster.
The get_close_matches is also fast, as there is just one loop,
instead of 3.
This can be useful to detect typos on references, with could
be the base of a futuere extension that will handle ref unmatches
for the entire build, allowing someone to find typos and fix them.
As difflib and get_close_matches are there since the early
Python 3.x days, we don't need to handle any extra dependencies
to use it.
We're keeping the default values for the search, e.g. n=3, cutoff=0.6.
With that, we now have things like:
At the first example, it was not a typo, but a symbol that doesn't
seem to be properly documented. The second example points to
v4l2-queryctrl, which is a close match for the symbol.
docs: media: mediactl: use TOC instead of file contents
All we wanted were to have a way to link the comprehensive
documentation with the actual symbols parsed from the header
file, as this helps to identify any broken references.
Use the new :toc: flag for media controller and enable warnings.
Here, we need to adjust the exceptions file to setup the C
namespace accordingly.
docs: media: rc: use TOC instead of file contents for LIRC header
All we wanted were to have a way to link the comprehensive
documentation with the actual symbols parsed from the header
file, as this helps to identify any broken references.
Use the new :toc: flag for LIRC and enable warnings.
docs: media: dvb: enable warnings for most headers
Except for two exception rules and dmx.h, the other files
are already handling properly cross references.
Fix the two exception rules for frontend.h, as those are
false-positives:
include/uapi/linux/dvb/frontend.h:959: WARNING: can't link to: c:type:: FE_GET_PROPERTY
include/uapi/linux/dvb/frontend.h:933: WARNING: can't link to: c:func:: FE_SET_FRONTEND_TUNE_MODE
The dmx.h are actual issues that will require an extra
patch to fill gaps.
docs: media: dvb: use TOC instead of file contents at headers
All we wanted were to have a way to link the comprehensive
documentation with the actual symbols parsed from the header
file, as this helps to identify any broken references.
tools: docs: parse_data_structs.py: add namespace support
C domain supports a ".. c:namespace::" tag that allows setting a
symbol namespace. This is used within the kernel to avoid warnings
about duplicated symbols. This is specially important for syscalls,
as each subsystem may have their own documentation for them.
This is specially true for ioctl.
When such tag is used, all C domain symbols have c++ style,
e.g. they'll become "{namespace}.{reference}".
Allow specifying C namespace at the exception files, avoiding
the need of override rules for every symbol.
Specially when using c::namespace, it is not hard to break
a reference by forgetting to add a domain. Also, different
cases and using "-"/"_" the wrong way are typical cases that
people often gets wrong.
We might use a more complex logic here to also check for typos,
but let's keep it plain, simple.
This is enough to get thos exeptions from media controller:

Documentation: process: Arbitrarily bump kernel major version number
The big picture section of 2.Process.rst currently hardcodes major
version number to 5 since fb0e0ffe7fc8e0 ("Documentation: bring process
docs up to date"). As it can get outdated when it is actually
incremented (the recent is 6 and will be 7 in the near future),
arbitrarily bump it to 9, giving a headroom for a decade.
Note that the version number examples are kept to illustrate the
numbering scheme.

The mix of plain text and reST markup for ``git bisect`` is intentional to
align with the eventual reST conversion.
Since the Handover Protocol was deprecated, the recommended approach is
to provide an initrd using a UEFI boot service with the
LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path. Documentation for the new
approach has been no more than an admonition with a link to an existing
implementation.
Provide a short explanation of this functionality, to ease future
implementations without having to reverse engineer existing ones.

Merge tag 'trace-v6.18-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"The previous fix to trace_marker required updating trace_marker_raw as
well. The difference between trace_marker_raw from trace_marker is
that the raw version is for applications to write binary structures
directly into the ring buffer instead of writing ASCII strings. This
is for applications that will read the raw data from the ring buffer
and get the data structures directly. It's a bit quicker than using
the ASCII version.
Unfortunately, it appears that our test suite has several tests that
test writes to the trace_marker file, but lacks any tests to the
trace_marker_raw file (this needs to be remedied). Two issues came
about the update to the trace_marker_raw file that syzbot found:
- Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use per CPU buffer
The fix to use the per CPU buffer to copy from user space was
needed for both the trace_maker and trace_maker_raw file.
The fix for reading from user space into per CPU buffers properly
fixed the trace_marker write function, but the trace_marker_raw
file wasn't fixed properly. The user space data was correctly
written into the per CPU buffer, but the code that wrote into the
ring buffer still used the user space pointer and not the per CPU
buffer that had the user space data already written.
- Stop the fortify string warning from writing into trace_marker_raw
After converting the copy_from_user_nofault() into a memcpy(),
another issue appeared. As writes to the trace_marker_raw expects
binary data, the first entry is a 4 byte identifier. The entry
structure is defined as:
struct {
struct trace_entry ent;
int id;
char buf[];
};
The size of this structure is reserved on the ring buffer with:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
Then it is copied from the buffer into the ring buffer with:
memcpy(&entry->id, buf, cnt);
This use to be a copy_from_user_nofault(), but now converting it to
a memcpy() triggers the fortify-string code, and causes a warning.
The allocated space is actually more than what is copied, as the
cnt used also includes the entry->id portion. Allocating
sizeof(*entry) plus cnt is actually allocating 4 bytes more than
what is needed.

This is because fortify string sees that the size of entry->id is only 4
bytes, but it is writing more than that. But this is OK as the
dynamic_array is allocated to handle that copy.
The size allocated on the ring buffer was actually a bit too big:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
But cnt includes the 'id' and the buffer data, so adding cnt to the size
of *entry actually allocates too much on the ring buffer.

slab: fix barn NULL pointer dereference on memoryless nodes
Phil reported a boot failure once sheaves become used in commits 59faa4da7cd4 ("maple_tree: use percpu sheaves for maple_node_cache") and 3accabda4da1 ("mm, vma: use percpu sheaves for vm_area_struct cache"):
Linus decoded the stacktrace to get_barn() and get_node() and determined
that kmem_cache->node[numa_mem_id()] is NULL.
The problem is due to a wrong assumption that memoryless nodes only
exist on systems with CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES, where numa_mem_id()
points to the nearest node that has memory. SLUB has been allocating its
kmem_cache_node structures only on nodes with memory and so it does with
struct node_barn.
For kmem_cache_node, get_partial_node() checks if get_node() result is
not NULL, which I assumed was for protection from a bogus node id passed
to kmalloc_node() but apparently it's also for systems where
numa_mem_id() (used when no specific node is given) might return a
memoryless node.
Fix the sheaves code the same way by checking the result of get_node()
and bailing out if it's NULL. Note that cpus on such memoryless nodes
will have degraded sheaves performance, which can be improved later,
preferably by making numa_mem_id() work properly on such systems.

tracing: Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use buf and not ubuf
The fix to use a per CPU buffer to read user space tested only the writes
to trace_marker. But it appears that the selftests are missing tests to
the trace_maker_raw file. The trace_maker_raw file is used by applications
that writes data structures and not strings into the file, and the tools
read the raw ring buffer to process the structures it writes.
The fix that reads the per CPU buffers passes the new per CPU buffer to
the trace_marker file writes, but the update to the trace_marker_raw write
read the data from user space into the per CPU buffer, but then still used
then passed the user space address to the function that records the data.
Pass in the per CPU buffer and not the user space address.

kbuild: Use '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for removing module device table symbols
After commit 5ab23c7923a1 ("modpost: Create modalias for builtin
modules"), relocatable RISC-V kernels with CONFIG_KASAN=y start failing
when attempting to strip the module device table symbols:
riscv64-linux-objcopy: not stripping symbol `__mod_device_table__kmod_irq_starfive_jh8100_intc__of__starfive_intc_irqchip_match_table' because it is named in a relocation
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:97: vmlinux] Error 1
The relocation appears to come from .LASANLOC5 in .data.rel.local:
This section appears to come from GCC for including additional
information about global variables that may be protected by KASAN.
There appears to be no way to opt out of the generation of these symbols
through either a flag or attribute. Attempting to remove '.LASANLOC*'
with '--strip-symbol' results in the same error as above because these
symbols may refer to (thus have relocation between) each other.
Avoid this build breakage by switching to '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for
removing __mod_device_table__ symbols, as it will only remove the symbol
when there is no relocation pointing to it. While this may result in a
little more bloat in the symbol table in certain configurations, it is
not as bad as outright build failures.
