2025-04-09scripts/kernel_doc.py: better handle exported symbolsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Change the logic which detects internal/external symbols in a way that we can re-use it when calling via Sphinx extension. While here, remove an unused self.config var and let it clearer that self.config variables are read-only. This helps to allow handling multiple times in parallel if ever needed.

2025-04-09scripts/kernel-doc.py: Properly handle Werror and exit codesMauro Carvalho Chehab
The original kernel-doc script has a logic to return warnings as errors, and to report the number of warnings found, if in verbose mode. Implement it to be fully compatible with the original script.

2025-04-09scripts/kernel-doc.py: implement support for -no-doc-sectionsMauro Carvalho Chehab
The venerable kernel-doc Perl script has a number of options that aren't properly documented. Among them, there is -no-doc-sections, which is used by the Sphinx extension. Implement support for it.

2025-04-09scripts/kernel-doc.py: move file lists to the parser functionMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of setting file lists at __init__ time, move it to the actual parsing function. This allows adding more files to be parsed in real time, by calling parse function multiple times. With the new way, the export_files logic was rewritten to avoid parsing twice EXPORT_SYMBOL for partial matches. Please notice that, with this logic, it can still read the same file twice when export_file is used.

2025-04-09scripts/kernel-doc.py: convert message output to an interactorMauro Carvalho Chehab

2025-04-09scripts/kernel-doc.py: properly handle struct_group macrosMauro Carvalho Chehab
Handing nested parenthesis with regular expressions is not an easy task. It is even harder with Python's re module, as it has a limited subset of regular expressions, missing more advanced features. We might use instead Python regex module, but still the regular expressions are very hard to understand. So, instead, add a logic to properly match delimiters.

2025-04-09scripts/kernel-doc.py: better handle empty sectionsMauro Carvalho Chehab
While doing the conversion, we opted to skip empty sections (description, return), but this makes harder to see the differences between kernel-doc (Perl) and kernel-doc.py. Also, the logic doesn't always work properly. So, change the way this is done by adding an extra step to remove such sections, doing it only for Return and Description.

2025-04-09scripts/kernel-doc.py: add a Python parserMauro Carvalho Chehab
Maintaining kernel-doc has been a challenge, as there aren't many perl developers among maintainers. Also, the logic there is too complex. Having lots of global variables and using pure functions doesn't help. Rewrite the script in Python, placing most global variables inside classes. This should help maintaining the script in long term. It also allows a better integration with kernel-doc Sphinx extension in the future. I opted to keep this version as close as possible to what we have already in Perl. There are some differences though: 1. There is one regular expression that required a rewrite: /\bSTRUCT_GROUP(\(((?:(?>[^)(]+)|(?1))*)\))[^;]*;/ As this one uses two features that aren't available by the native Python regular expression module (re): - recursive patterns: ?1 - atomic grouping (?>...) Rewrite it to use a much simpler regular expression: /\bSTRUCT_GROUP\(([^\)]+)\)[^;]*;/ Extra care should be taken when validating this script, as such replacement might cause some regressions. 2. The filters are now applied only during output generation. In particular, "nosymbol" argument is only handled there. It means that, if the same file is processed twice for different symbols, the warnings will be duplicated. I opted to use this behavior as it allows the Sphinx extension to read the file(s) only once, and apply the filtering only when producing the ReST output. This hopefully will help to speed up doc generation 3. This version can handle multiple files and multiple directories. So, if one just wants to produce a big output with everything inside a file, this could be done with $ time ./scripts/kernel-doc.py -man . 2>/dev/null >new real 0m54.592s user 0m53.345s sys 0m0.997s 4. I tried to replicate as much as possible the same arguments from kernel-doc, with about the same behavior, for the command line parameters starting with a single dash (-parameter). I also added one letter aliases for each parameter, and a --parameter (sometimes with a better name). 5. There are some sutile nuances between how Perl handles certain regular expressions. In special, the qr operatior, which compiles a regular expression also works as a non-capturing group. It means that some regexes like this one: my $type1 = qr{[\w\s]+}; needs to be mapped as: type1 = r'(?:[\w\s]+)?'
