Commit ef5da59f12 ("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. So until the number of warnings goes
sufficiently down, the check is only performed in verbose mode.

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.

It was messy to follow the primary flow of code execution with the

from drivers/scsi/scsi_netlink.c:
/**

kernel-doc treated the " * " line as a Description: section with only a

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

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.

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).

Fix kernel-doc function prototype parsing which was exposed by vunmap() by
allowing more than one '*' before the function name.
Error(linux-2.6.24-mm1//mm/vmalloc.c:438): cannot understand prototype: 'struct page **vunmap(const void *addr) '

This flag is necessary for the next patch for docproc to output
only the functions and not DOC: sections when a function list
is requested.

Currently, DOC: sections are always output even if only a single
function is requested, fix this and also make it possible to just
output a single DOC: section by giving its title as the function
name to output.
Also fixes docbook XML well-formedness for sections with examples.

The kernel-doc script triggers a perl warning when invoked
without KERNELVERSION in the environment, rather make it use
the string "unknown kernel version" instead.
