2022-03-28docs: kfigure.py: Don't warn of missing PDF converter in 'make htmldocs'Akira Yokosawa
SVG -> PDF conversion is not required in "make htmldocs". It is pointless to always warn of a missing converter. Demote the log message in setupTools() to verbose. For "make pdfdocs" (or "make latexdocs"), promote the dynamic message of "include SVG raw" to a warn. Expand the message and recommend installing Inkscape or ImageMagick.

2022-02-24docs: *-regressions.rst: explain how quickly issues should be handledThorsten Leemhuis
Add a section with a few rules of thumb about how quickly developers should address regressions to Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst; additionally, add a short paragraph about this to the companion document Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-regressions.rst as well. The rules of thumb were written after studying the quotes from Linus found in handling-regressions.rst and especially influenced by statements like "Users are literally the _only_ thing that matters" and "without users, your program is not a program, it's a pointless piece of code that you might as well throw away". The author interpreted those in perspective to how the various Linux kernel series are maintained currently and what those practices might mean for users running into a regression on a small or big kernel update. That for example lead to the paragraph starting with "Aim to get fixes for regressions mainlined within one week after identifying the culprit, if the regression was introduced in a stable/longterm release or the devel cycle for the latest mainline release". Some might see this as pretty high bar, but on the other hand something like that is needed to not leave users out in the cold for too long -- which can quickly happen when updating to the latest stable series, as the previous one is normally stamped "End of Life" about three or four weeks after a new mainline release. This makes a lot of users switch during this timeframe. Any of them thus risk running into regressions not promptly fixed; even worse, once the previous stable series is EOLed for real, users that face a regression might be left with only three options: (1) continue running an outdated and thus potentially insecure kernel version from an abandoned stable series (2) run the kernel with the regression (3) downgrade to an earlier longterm series still supported This is better avoided, as (1) puts users and their data in danger, (2) will only be possible if it's a minor regression that doesn't interfere with booting or serious usage, and (3) might be regression itself or impossible on the particular machine, as the users might require drivers or features only introduced after the latest longterm series branched of. In the end this lead to the aforementioned "Aim to fix regression within one week" part. It's also the reason for the "Try to resolve any regressions introduced in the current development cycle before its end.".

2022-02-24docs: pdfdocs: Pull LaTeX preamble part out of conf.pyAkira Yokosawa
Quote from Jon's remark [1]: I do notice that Documentation/conf.py is getting large and unapproachable. At some future point, it might be nice to pull all of the latex stuff out into a separate file where it won't scare people who stumble into it by accident. Pull LaTeX preamble settings added since commit 3b4c963243b1 ("docs: conf.py: adjust the LaTeX document output") out into sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty. It will be copied to the build directory by the added "latex_additional_files" setting in conf.py. As a bonus, LaTeX/TeX code can be maintained without escaping backslashes. To compensate the loss of change history in sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty, here is a list of changes made in conf.py: - f7ebe6b76940 ("docs: Activate exCJK only in CJK chapters") - 0afd4df0d16a ("docs: pdfdocs: Prevent column squeezing by tabulary") - 659653c9e546 ("docs: pdfdocs: Refactor config for CJK document") - e291ff6f5a03 ("docs: pdfdocs: Add CJK-language-specific font settings") - 7eb368cc319b ("docs: pdfdocs: Choose Serif font as CJK mainfont if possible") - 35382965bdd2 ("docs: pdfdocs: Preserve inter-phrase space in Korean translations") - 77abc2c230b1 ("docs: pdfdocs: One-half spacing for CJK translations") - 788d28a25799 ("docs: pdfdocs: Permit AutoFakeSlant for CJK fonts") - 29ac9822358f ("docs: pdfdocs: Teach xeCJK about character classes of quotation marks") - 7c5c18bdb656 ("docs: pdfdocs: Fix typo in CJK-language specific font settings") - aa872e0647dc ("docs: pdfdocs: Adjust \headheight for fancyhdr") - 8716ef413aa5 ("docs: pdfdocs: Tweak width params of TOC") - 66939df53948 ("docs: pdfdocs: Switch default CJK font to KR variants") - 7b686a2ea1e4 ("docs: pdfdocs: Enable CJKspace in TOC for Korean titles") - 5d9158e3c762 ("docs/translations: Skip CJK contents if suitable fonts not found") - b774cc46313b ("docs: pdfdocs: Move CJK monospace font setting to main conf.py") [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/87zgmr66cn.fsf@meer.lwn.net/ Suggested-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/aaa9dca1-27c0-c414-77f3-c5587db0cc5b@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2022-02-24Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst: fix languageYixuan Cao
There are some words that need to be fixed. Thanks for Shuah Khan's constructive suggestions. The text has been fixed as follows. a. So, if you'd like to use it, you need to add "page_owner=on" into your boot cmdline. Here, "into" has been replaced with "to". b. ...page owner is disabled in runtime due to no enabling, boot option, runtime overhead is marginal. Here, "no" has been replaced with "not".

2022-02-24docs: scripts/kernel-doc: Detect absence of FILE argAkira Yokosawa
Currently, when there is no FILE argument following a switch such as -man, -rst, or -none, kernel-doc exits with a warning from perl (long msg folded): Use of uninitialized value $ARGV[0] in pattern match (m//) at ./scripts/kernel-doc line 438. , which is unhelpful. Improve the behavior by adding a check at the bottom of parsing loop. If the argument is absent, display help text and exit with the code of 1 (via usage()).

2022-02-24scripts: kernel-doc: Drop obsolete commentsTomasz Warniełło
What for? To improve the script maintainability. 1. License As stated by Jonathan Corbet in the reply to my version 1, the SPDX line is enough. 2. The to-do list comment As suggested by Jonathan Corbet in reply to my version 3, this section doesn't need to be transitioned. And so it is removed for clarity. 3. The historical changelog comments As suggested by Jonathan Corbet in a reply to v3, this section can go. I wanted to keep it, but since it doesn't contain copyright notices, let's just have it clean and simple. 4. The "format of comments" comment block As suggested by Jani Nikula in a reply to my first version of this transformation, Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst can serve as the information hub for comment formatting. The section DESCRIPTION already points there, so the original comment block can just be removed.

OPTIONS Another step in the direction of a uniform POD documentation, which will make users happier. Options land at the end of the script, not to clutter the file top. The default output format is corrected to rst. That's what it is now. A POD delimiting comment is added to the script head, which improves the script logical structure.
