5c5c32d7ab scripts/kernel-doc.py: don't create *.pyc files
As reported by Andy, kernel-doc.py is creating a __pycache__
directory at build time.

Disable creation of __pycache__ for the libraries used by
kernel-doc.py, when excecuted via the build system or via
scripts/find-unused-docs.sh.

Despite its name, what's there is a set of Sphinx arguments that
are passed to sphinx/kerneldoc.py:

- kerneldoc_srctree: location of the source tree;

Drop it, and just place the values at the already-existing

f9cdbc5781 scripts/lib/kdoc/kdoc_parser.py: move states to a separate class
States are really enums. on Python, enums are actually classes,
as can be seen at:

Yet, I can't see any advantage of derivating the class from
enum class here. So, just place the states on a separate class.

allow "known identities".

3fa3b20ba1 docs: Disambiguate a pair of rST labels
According to the reStructuredText documentation, internal hyperlink
targets[1] are intended to resolve within the current document.

Sphinx has a bug that causes internal hyperlinks declared with
duplicate names to resolve nondeterministically, producing incorrect
documentation. Sphinx does not yet emit a warning when these
duplicate target names are declared.

To improve the reproducibility and correctness of the HTML
documentation, disambiguate two labels both previously titled
"submit_improvements".

9f488ccd0f Merge branch 'mauro' into docs-mw
Mauro says:

This changeset contains the kernel-doc.py script to replace the verable
kernel-doc originally written in Perl. It replaces the first version and the
second series I sent on the top of it.

I tried to stay as close as possible of the original Perl implementation
on the first patch introducing kernel-doc.py, as it helps to double check
if each function was  properly translated to Python.  This have been
helpful debugging troubles that happened during the conversion.

I worked hard to make it bug-compatible with the original one. Still, its
output has a couple of differences from the original one:

- The tab expansion works better with the Python script. With that, some
  outputs that contain tabs at kernel-doc markups are now different;

- The new script  works better stripping blank lines. So, there are a couple
  of empty new lines that are now stripped with this version;

- There is a buggy logic at kernel-doc to strip empty description and
  return sections. I was not able to replicate the exact behavior. So, I ended
  adding an extra logic to strip empty sections with a different algorithm.

Yet, on my tests, the results are compatible with the venerable script
output for all .. kernel-doc tags found in Documentation/. I double-checked
this by adding support to output the kernel-doc commands when V=1, and
then I ran a diff between kernel-doc.pl and kernel-doc.py for the same
command lines.

The only patch that doesn't belong to this series is a patch dropping
kernel-doc.pl. I opted to keep it for now, as it can help to better
test the new tools.

With such changes, if one wants to build docs with the old script,
all it is needed is to use KERNELDOC parameter, e.g.:

	$ make KERNELDOC=scripts/kernel-doc.pl htmldocs

de258fa8ca scripts: kernel-doc: fix parsing function-like typedefs (again)
Typedefs like

    typedef struct phylink_pcs *(*pcs_xlate_t)(const u64 *args);

have a typedef_type that ends with a * and therefore has no word
boundary. Add an extra clause for the final group of the typedef_type so
we only require a word boundary if we match a word.

01c4335525 docs: sphinx: kerneldoc: ignore "\" characters from options
Documentation/driver-api/infiniband.rst has a kernel-doc tag
with "\" characters at the end:

	.. kernel-doc:: drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c
	   :functions: iscsi_iser_pdu_alloc iser_initialize_task_headers \
	        iscsi_iser_task_init iscsi_iser_mtask_xmit iscsi_iser_task_xmit \
	        iscsi_iser_cleanup_task iscsi_iser_check_protection \
	        iscsi_iser_conn_create iscsi_iser_conn_bind \
	        iscsi_iser_conn_start iscsi_iser_conn_stop \
	        iscsi_iser_session_destroy iscsi_iser_session_create \
	        iscsi_iser_set_param iscsi_iser_ep_connect iscsi_iser_ep_poll \
	        iscsi_iser_ep_disconnect

This is not handled well, as the "\" strings will be just stored inside
Sphinx options.

While the actual problem deserves being fixed, better to relax the
keneldoc.py extension to silently strip "\" from the end of strings,
as otherwise this may cause troubles when preparing arguments to
be executed by kernel-doc.

02df8e3b33 docs: add a .pylintrc file with sys path for docs scripts
The docs scripts that are used by Documentation/sphinx are
using scripts/lib/* directories to place classes that will
be used by both extensions and scripts.

When pylint is used, it needs to identify the path where
such scripts are, otherwise it will bail out. Add a simple
RC file placing the location of such files.

408269ae35 scripts/kernel-doc.py: fix handling of doc output check
The filtering logic was seeking for the DOC name to check for
symbols, but such data is stored only inside a section. Add it
to the output_declaration, as it is quicker/easier to check
the declaration name than to check inside each section.

While here, make sure that the output for both ReST and man
after filtering will be similar to what kernel-doc Perl
version does.

799b0d2a2a scripts/kernel-doc.py: move file lists to the parser function
Instead of setting file lists at __init__ time, move it to
the actual parsing function. This allows adding more files
to be parsed in real time, by calling parse function multiple
times.

With the new way, the export_files logic was rewritten to
avoid parsing twice EXPORT_SYMBOL for partial matches.

Please notice that, with this logic, it can still read the
same file twice when export_file is used.

01d3235dde scripts/kernel-doc.py: properly handle struct_group macros
Handing nested parenthesis with regular expressions is not an
easy task. It is even harder with Python's re module, as it
has a limited subset of regular expressions, missing more
advanced features.

We might use instead Python regex module, but still the
regular expressions are very hard to understand. So, instead,
add a logic to properly match delimiters.

between kernel-doc (Perl) and kernel-doc.py.

Also, the logic doesn't always work properly. So, change the
way this is done by adding an extra step to remove such
sections, doing it only for Return and Description.
