14ebc28e07 errseq: Add to documentation tree
- Move errseq.rst into core-api
 - Add errseq to the core-api index
 - Promote the header to a more prominent header type, otherwise we get three
   entries in the table of contents.
 - Reformat the table to look nicer and be a little more proportional in
   terms of horizontal width per bit (the SF bit is still disproportionately
   large, but there's no way to fix that).
 - Include errseq kernel-doc in the errseq.rst
 - Neaten some kernel-doc markup

2defb27292 scripts: kernel-doc: apply filtering rules to warnings
When kernel-doc is called with output selection filters,
it will be called lots of time for a single file. If
there is a warning present there, it means that it may
print hundreds of identical warnings.

Worse than that, the -function NAME actually filters only
functions. So, it makes no sense at all to print warnings
for structs or enums.

84ce5b9877 scripts: kernel-doc: improve nested logic to handle multiple identifiers
It is possible to use nested structs like:

struct {
	struct {
		void *arg1;
	} st1, st2, *st3, st4;
};

Handling it requires to split each parameter. Change the logic
to allow such definitions.

In order to test the new nested logic, the following file
was used to test

<code>
struct foo { int a; }; /* Just to avoid errors if compiled */

/**
 * struct my_struct - a struct with nested unions and structs
 * @arg1: first argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
 * @arg2: second argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
 * @arg1b: first argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
 * @arg2b: second argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
 * @arg3: third argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
 * @arg4: fourth argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
 * @bar.st1.arg1: first argument of struct st1 on union bar
 * @bar.st1.arg2: second argument of struct st1 on union bar
 * @bar.st1.bar1: bar1 at st1
 * @bar.st1.bar2: bar2 at st1
 * @bar.st2.arg1: first argument of struct st2 on union bar
 * @bar.st2.arg2: second argument of struct st2 on union bar
 * @bar.st3.arg2: second argument of struct st3 on union bar
 * @f1: nested function on anonimous union/struct
 * @bar.st2.f2: nested function on named union/struct
 */
struct my_struct {
   /* Anonymous union/struct*/
   union {
	struct {
	    char arg1 : 1;
	    char arg2 : 3;
	};
       struct {
           int arg1b;
           int arg2b;
       };
       struct {
           void *arg3;
           int arg4;
           int (*f1)(char foo, int bar);
       };
   };
   union {
       struct {
           int arg1;
           int arg2;
	   struct foo bar1, *bar2;
       } st1;           /* bar.st1 is undocumented, cause a warning */
       struct {
           void *arg1;  /* bar.st3.arg1 is undocumented, cause a warning */
	    int arg2;
          int (*f2)(char foo, int bar); /* bar.st3.fn2 is undocumented, cause a warning */
       } st2, st3, *st4;
       int (*f3)(char foo, int bar); /* f3 is undocumented, cause a warning */
   } bar;               /* bar is undocumented, cause a warning */

   /* private: */
   int undoc_privat;    /* is undocumented but private, no warning */

   /* public: */
   int undoc_public;    /* is undocumented, cause a warning */
};
</code>

It produces the following warnings, as expected:

test2.h:57: warning: Function parameter or member 'bar' not described in 'my_struct'
test2.h:57: warning: Function parameter or member 'bar.st1' not described in 'my_struct'

151c468b44 scripts: kernel-doc: print the declaration name on warnings
The logic at create_parameterlist()'s ancillary push_parameter()
function has already a way to output the declaration name, with
would help to discover what declaration is missing.

However, currently, the logic is utterly broken, as it uses
the var $type with a wrong meaning. With the current code,
it will never print anything. I suspect that originally
it was using the second argument of output_declaration().

I opted to not rely on a globally defined $declaration_name,
but, instead, to pass it explicitly as a parameter.

While here, I removed a unaligned check for !$anon_struct_union.
This is not needed, as, if $anon_struct_union is not zero,
$parameterdescs{$param} will be defined.

8ad7216316 scripts: kernel-doc: parse next structs/unions
There are several places within the Kernel tree with nested
structs/unions, like this one:

  struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
    const char *name;
    enum {
      CGU_CLK_NONE = 0,
      CGU_CLK_EXT = BIT(0),
      CGU_CLK_PLL = BIT(1),
      CGU_CLK_GATE = BIT(2),
      CGU_CLK_MUX = BIT(3),
      CGU_CLK_MUX_GLITCHFREE = BIT(4),
      CGU_CLK_DIV = BIT(5),
      CGU_CLK_FIXDIV = BIT(6),
      CGU_CLK_CUSTOM = BIT(7),
    } type;
    int parents[4];
    union {
      struct ingenic_cgu_pll_info pll;
      struct {
        struct ingenic_cgu_gate_info gate;
        struct ingenic_cgu_mux_info mux;
        struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div;
        struct ingenic_cgu_fixdiv_info fixdiv;
      };
      struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom;
    };
  };

Currently, such struct is documented as:

	**Definition**

	::
	struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
	    const char * name;
	};

	**Members**

	``name``
	  name of the clock

With is obvioulsy wrong. It also generates an error:
	drivers/clk/ingenic/cgu.h:169: warning: No description found for parameter 'enum'

However, there's nothing wrong with this kernel-doc markup: everything
is documented there.

It makes sense to document all fields there. So, add a
way for the core to parse those structs.

With this patch, all documented fields will properly generate
documentation.

bdfe2be34b scripts: kernel-doc: change default to ReST format
Right now, if kernel-doc is called without arguments, it

default to ReST, as this is the output that it is most

b051426753 scripts: kernel-doc: get rid of unused output formats
Since there isn't any docbook code anymore upstream,
we can get rid of several output formats:

- docbook/xml, html, html5 and list formats were used by

- As ReST is text, there's not much sense on outputting
  on a different text format.

After this patch, only man and rst output formats are
supported.

91b28aeb17 i2c: update i2c-dev.h warning in documentation
`Documentation/i2c/dev-interface` gives examples for accessing i2c from
userspace.

There's a note that warns developers about the two `i2c-dev.h` header
files which were shipped with the kernel and i2c-tools separately.

However, following i2c-tools commits suggest that the header files are now
identical (in functionality) and `i2c_*` helper functions are now defined
in a separate header called `i2c/smbus.h`, which is distributed with
i2c-tools:

commit 652619121974 ("Minimize differences with kernel flavor")
commit 93caf007f4cb ("Move SMBus helper functions to include/i2c/smbus.h")

Thus, I've converted the warning paragraph into a historical note and
updated the suggested header files.

9727a0144b doc: add maintainer book
There is currently very little documentation in the kernel on maintainer
level tasks. In particular there are no documents on creating pull
requests to submit to Linus.

Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman on LKML:

    Anyway, this actually came up at the kernel summit / maintainer
    meeting a few weeks ago, in that "how do I make a
    good pull request to Linus" is something we need to document.

    Here's what I do, and it seems to work well, so maybe we should turn
    it into the start of the documentation for how to do it.

(quote references: kernel summit, Europe 2017)

Create a new kernel documentation book 'how to be a maintainer'
(suggested by Jonathan Corbet). Add chapters on 'configuring git' and
'creating a pull request'.

Most of the content was written by Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman
in discussion on LKML. This is stated at the start of one of the
chapters and the original email thread is referenced in
'pull-requests.rst'.

45005b27c1 kernel-doc: parse DECLARE_KFIFO and DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR()
On media, we now have an struct declared with:

struct lirc_fh {
        struct list_head list;
        struct rc_dev *rc;
        int                             carrier_low;
        bool                            send_timeout_reports;
        DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR(rawir, unsigned int);
        DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR(scancodes, struct lirc_scancode);
        wait_queue_head_t               wait_poll;
        u8                              send_mode;
        u8                              rec_mode;
};

gpiolib.c has a similar declaration with DECLARE_KFIFO().

Currently, those produce the following error:

	./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: No description found for parameter 'int'
	./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: No description found for parameter 'lirc_scancode'
	./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: Excess struct member 'rawir' description in 'lirc_fh'
	./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: Excess struct member 'scancodes' description in 'lirc_fh'
	../drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:601: warning: No description found for parameter '16'
	../drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:601: warning: Excess struct member 'events' description in 'lineevent_state'

So, teach kernel-doc how to parse DECLARE_KFIFO() and DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR().

While here, relax at the past DECLARE_foo() macros, accepting a random
number of spaces after comma.

The addition of DECLARE_KFIFO() was

sign_extend32 counts the sign bit parameter from 0, not from 1.  So we
have to use "11" for 12th bit, not "12".

This mistake means we have not allowed negative op and cmp args since
commit 30d6e0a419 ("futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined
behaviour") till now.

  leads to overwriting first byte of an adjacent page with 0, out of
