The 'alabaster' theme dropped support for Sphinx < v3.4:
0.7.14 – 2024-01-08
* Dropped support for Python 3.8 and earlier.
* Dropped support for Sphinx 3.3 and earlier.
[...]
(Source: https://alabaster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html)
This manifests as an error when running 'make htmldocs' in a virtualenv
constructed from Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt:
Sphinx version error:
The alabaster extension used by this project needs at least Sphinx v3.4; it therefore cannot be built with this version.
Raising the Sphinx version is not really a good option at this point,
since 3.x through 6.x have horrible performance regressions (7.x still
does, but not quite as bad).
Instead, constrain the 'alabaster' package to versions that still support
Sphinx 2.4.4.

There are two MAINTAINERS entries which snuck in during the previous
merge window which use spaces instead of tabs for indent. The rest
of the file uses tabs. Fix CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTING THREAT MODEL FOR
X86 VIRTUALIZATION (SNP/TDX).
Given the prevalence of using tabs some scripts (AKA my scripts)
assume tabs when parsing.
The faulty entry was added in commit 1f597b1a6e ("docs: security:
Confidential computing intro and threat model for x86 virtualization")

Since util-linux commit 13b26e3c36d1
("fdformat: remove command from default build")
the fdformat tool is not built anymore by default.
As a result it is not packaged anymore by distributions and therefore
not usable by users.
Instead mention the "mount" command as more likely to be present
alternative.
Also drop the reference to fdformat from the list of features of new
versions of util-linux.

When there are filenames of the form ".orig" or ".rej" in
the Documenatation/ABI/ subdirectories, there can be confusing or
erroneous output generated. Example: the file
Documenation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-papr-pmem.orig causes this
warning message:
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-papr-pmem:2: WARNING: unknown document: '/powerpc/papr_hcalls'
Prevent this by skipping over filenames that may be created by
patch/diff tools etc.

Add a new Sphinx extension that knows about the translations of kernel
documentation and can insert links to the translations at the top of
the document.
It basically works like this:
1. Register a new node type, LanguagesNode.
2. Register a new transform, TranslationsTransform, that inserts a new
LanguageNode at the top of every document. The LanguageNode contains
"pending references" to translations of the document. The key here
is that these are pending (i.e. unresolved) references that may or
may not actually exist.
3. Register a 'doctree-resolved' event that iterates over all the
LanguageNode nodes. Any unresolved references are filtered out; the
list of resolved references is passed to the 'translations.html'
template and rendered as an HTML node (if HTML output is selected).
Testing: make htmldocs, make latexdocs with Sphinx v4.3.2 and Firefox.
v2:
- changed bar into a drop-down menu
- fixed language labels
- fixed hysteresis reported by Akira Yokosawa

kernel-doc appeared to ignore __counted_by, but appearances can be
deceiving; it caused member names to not be recognized, which manifested as
a number of spurious "Excess struct member" warnings. Filter that
attribute out and reduce the warning onslaught slightly.
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
The warning for Excess struct or union member description was
removed when the $nested parameter of check_sections() was removed.
This causes some kernel-doc notation warnings to be missed.
Recently the kernel test robot somehow reported an Excess member. The
code in kernel-doc has not issued that warning since kernel v4.16, so I
don't know how the robot did it. (See the Link for the report.)
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/dbg.c:86: warning: Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'trans_len' description in 'iwl_fw_dump_ptrs'
I patched that warning away even though I could not reproduce the
warning from kernel-doc. The warning should be issued for extraneous
struct member or union member description, so restore it.

The docs currently have <h3> and <h4> set to the same font size which
makes headings hard to distinguish. <h1> to <h3> already have entries in
sphinx-static/custom.css to shrink their size a bit from the alabaster
theme.
Add <h4> to custom.css and set it to be smaller than <h3>.

Commit 31abfdda65 (docs: Deprecate use of Sphinx < 2.4.x) in 6.2 added a
warning that support for older versions of Sphinx would be going away.
There have been no complaints, so the time has come. Raise the minimum
Sphinx version to 2.4.4 and clean out some compatibility code that we no
longer need.

Add a separate documentation directory for TEE subsystem since it is a
standalone subsystem which already offers devices consumed by multiple
different subsystem drivers.
Split overall TEE subsystem documentation modularly where:
- The userspace API has been moved to Documentation/userspace-api/tee.rst.
- The driver API has been moved to Documentation/driver-api/tee.rst.
- The first module covers the overview of TEE subsystem.
- The further modules are dedicated to different TEE implementations like:
- OP-TEE
- AMD-TEE
- and so on for future TEE implementation support.

After receiving a second patchset this week without knowing which tree
it applies on and trying to apply it on the obvious ones and failing,
make sure the base tree information which needs to be supplied in the
0th message of the patchset is spelled out more explicitly.
Also, make the formulations stronger as this really is a requirement and
not only a useful thing anymore.

There aren't a ton of references to commits in the documentation, but
they do exist, and we can use automarkup to linkify them to make them
easier to follow.
Use something like this to find references to commits:
git grep -P 'commit.*[0-9a-f]{8,}' Documentation/
Also fix a few of these to standardize on the exact format that is
already used in changelogs.

This patch series replaces some instances of 'class:: toc-title' with
toctree's :caption: attribute, see the last patch in the series for some
more rationale/explanation.
The "toc-title" class was introduced in commit ef88f10eb8
("[media] doc-rst: backward compatibility with older Sphinx versions")
as a workaround for Sphinx versions older than 1.4.x. However, these
old versions have been deprecated since commit 31abfdda65
("docs: Deprecate use of Sphinx < 2.4.x").
Having now changed all the toc-title users to use the :caption:
attribute, we can also remove the custom style.
Note that the toc-title class is separate from the "kernel-toc"
logic that was introduced in commit c404f5d4f0 ("docs: Add more
information to the HTML sidebar").
