2016-05-14docproc: print a comment about autogeneration for rst outputJani Nikula
Leave a hint to folks which file to edit instead. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-05-14docproc: add support for reStructuredText format via --rst optionJani Nikula
Expect reStructuredText input and have kernel-doc produce reStructuredText output with the new --rst option. Also add --docbook option for completeness. If no option is given, default to reStructuredText if the input file has ".rst" extension, DocBook otherwise. Directives for reStructuredText use .. ! instead of just !, to make them reStructuredText comments. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-05-14docproc: abstract terminating lines at first spaceJani Nikula

2016-05-14kernel-doc: use rst C domain directives and references for typesJani Nikula
First, the headings for structs, enums and typedefs will be similar to functions. Second, this provides a kind of namespace for cross references. Third, and most importantly, the return and parameter types from .. c:function:: definitions will automagically become cross references to the documented types.

2016-05-14kernel-doc: produce RestructuredText outputJonathan Corbet
If given the -rst flag, output will now be in RestructuredText. Various glitches to be worked out yet. In the end I decided not to use RST section headings within the kerneldoc comments. gpu.tmpl already has headings five levels deep; adding more is not going to bring clarity. This is really just Jani Nikula's asciidoc change with the serial numbers filed off. It's a hack job that doubtless needs a lot of cleaning up.

2016-05-14kernel-doc: rewrite usage description, remove duplicated commentsJani Nikula
Instead of having the kernel-doc usage in both comments and in output to the user, merge them all to one here document. While at it, imrove the text and make it pretty. Give shoemaker's children some shoes. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2016-04-28samples: v4l: from Documentation to samples directoryArnd Bergmann
A small bug with the new autoksyms support showed that there are two kernel modules in the Documentation directory that qualify as samples, while all other samples are in the samples/ directory. This patch was originally meant as a workaround for that bug, but it has now been solved in a different way. However, I still think it makes sense as a cleanup to consolidate all sample code in one place.
