Make Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst point to the newly created document about regressions (Documentation/admin-guide/regressions-regressions.rst). This allows to shorten a few explanations the new document describes better and in more detail. While at it move the copyright hint to the end of the file and remove quotes around links to other places in the documentation. Both issues came up during the review of the new documents about regressions.

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series is EOLed for real, users that face a regression might be left with only three options: (1) continue running an outdated and thus potentially insecure kernel version from an abandoned stable series (2) run the kernel with the regression (3) downgrade to an earlier longterm series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.".

Create two documents explaining various aspects around regression handling and tracking; one is aimed at users, the other targets developers. The texts among others describes the first rule of Linux kernel development and what it means in practice. They also explain what a regression actually is and how to report one properly. Both texts additionally provide a brief introduction to the bot the kernel's regression tracker uses to facilitate the work, but mention the use is optional. To sum things up, provide a few quotes from Linus in the document for developers to show how serious we take regressions.

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 3b4c9632 ("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: - f7ebe6b7 ("docs: Activate exCJK only in CJK chapters") - 0afd4df0 ("docs: pdfdocs: Prevent column squeezing by tabulary") - 659653c9 ("docs: pdfdocs: Refactor config for CJK document") - e291ff6f ("docs: pdfdocs: Add CJK-language-specific font settings") - 7eb368cc ("docs: pdfdocs: Choose Serif font as CJK mainfont if possible") - 35382965 ("docs: pdfdocs: Preserve inter-phrase space in Korean translations") - 77abc2c2 ("docs: pdfdocs: One-half spacing for CJK translations") - 788d28a2 ("docs: pdfdocs: Permit AutoFakeSlant for CJK fonts") - 29ac9822 ("docs: pdfdocs: Teach xeCJK about character classes of quotation marks") - 7c5c18bd ("docs: pdfdocs: Fix typo in CJK-language specific font settings") - aa872e06 ("docs: pdfdocs: Adjust \headheight for fancyhdr") - 8716ef41 ("docs: pdfdocs: Tweak width params of TOC") - 66939df5 ("docs: pdfdocs: Switch default CJK font to KR variants") - 7b686a2e ("docs: pdfdocs: Enable CJKspace in TOC for Korean titles") - 5d9158e3 ("docs/translations: Skip CJK contents if suitable fonts not found") - b774cc46 ("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.comSigned-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

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()).

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.

The NAME section provides the doc title, while SYNOPSIS contains the basic syntax and usage description, which will be printed in the help document and in the error output produced on wrong script usage. The rationale is to give users simple and succinct enlightment, at the same time structuring the script internally for the maintainers. In the synopsis, Rst-only options are grouped around rst, and the rest is arranged as in the OPTIONS subsections (yet to be translated into POD, check at the end of the series). The third of the basic sections, DESCRIPTION, is added separately.

Akira says: This series resolves issues listed below: 1. Some of chapter and section counts in Table of Contents (TOC) in large PDF docs collide with chapter/section titles, e.g., Chapters 10, 11, 12, and 13 and Section 10.10 in userspace-api.pdf. 2. In docs of more than 99 pages, page counts in TOC are not aligned properly when maxdepth >= 2 is specified in toctree, e.g., Chapters 10, 12, and 13 in userspace-api.pdf 3. In TOC of Latin-script docs, quotation and apostrophe symbols look too wide, e.g., Section 2.2 in userspace-api.pdf. 4. In TOC of translations, Korean chapter titles lose inter-phrase spaces. 5. On systems without "Noto Sans CJK" fonts, CJK chapters in translations results in full of "TOFU" boxes, with a long build time and a large log file containing lots of missing-font warnings. 6. In translations.pdf built by "make pdfdocs", ascii-art diagrams in CJK are not aligned properly.

As LaTeX macros for CJK font settings can have Latin-script font settings as well, settings under Documentation/translations/ can be moved to the main conf.py. By this change, translations.pdf built by top-level "make pdfdocs" can have properly aligned ascii-art diagrams except for Korean ones. For the reason of remaining misalignment in Korean diagrams, see changelog of commit a90dad8f ("docs: pdfdocs: Add conf.py local to translations for ascii-art alignment").

On systems without "Noto Sans CJK" fonts, CJK chapters in translations.pdf are full of "TOFU" boxes, with a long build time and a large log file containing lots of missing-font warnings. Avoid such waste of time and resources by skipping CJK chapters when CJK fonts are not available. To skip whole chapters, change the definition of \kerneldocBegin{SC|TC|KR|JP} commands so that they can have an argument to be ignored. This works as far as the argument (#1) is not used in the command. In place of skipped contents, put a note on skipped contents at the beginning of the PDF. Change the call sites in index.rst of CJK translations accordingly. When CJK fonts are available, existing command definitions with no argument just work. LaTeX engine will see additional pairs of "{" and "}", which add a level of grouping without having any effect on typesetting.

xeCJK is enabled in Table of Contents (TOC) so that translations.pdf built by top-level "make pdfdocs" can have its TOC typeset properly. This causes quotation marks and apostrophe symbols appear too wide in Latin-script docs. This is because (1) Sphinx converts ASCII symbols into multi-byte UTF-8 ones in LaTeX and (2) in the SC variant of "Noto CJK" font families, those UTF-8 symbols have full-width glyph. The KR variant of the font families has half-width glyph for those symbols and TOC pages should look nicer when it is used instead. Switch the default CJK font families to the KR variant and teach xeCJK of those symbols' widths. To compensate the switch, teach xeCJK of the width in the SC and TC variants.

Sphinx has its own set of width parameters of Table of Contents (TOC) for LaTeX defined in its class definition of sphinxmanual.cls. It also inherits parameters for chapter entries from report.cls of original LaTeX base. However, they are optimized assuming small documents with tens of pages and chapters/sections of less than 10. To cope with some of kernel-doc documents with more than 1000 pages and several tens of chapters/sections, definitions of those parameters need to be adjusted. Unfortunately, those parameters are hard coded in the class definitions and need low-level LaTeX coding tricks to redefine. As Sphinx 1.7.9 does not have \sphinxtableofcontentshook, which defines those parameters in later Sphinx versions, for compatibility with both pre-1.8 and later Sphinx versions, empty the hook altogether and redefine \@pnumwidth, \l@chapter, \l@section, and \@subsection commands originally defined in report.cls. Summary of parameter changes: Width of page number (\@pnumwidth): 1.55em -> 2.7em Width of chapter number: 1.5em -> 1.8em Indent of section number: 1.5em -> 1.8em Width of section number: 2.6em -> 3.2em Indent of subsection number: 4.1em -> 5em Width of subsection number: 3.5em -> 4.3em Notes: 1. Parameters for subsection become relevant only when ":maxdepth: 3" is specified under "toctree::" (e.g., RCU/index.rst). They can hold subsection numbers up to 5 digits such as "18.7.13" (in RCU.pdf). 2. Number of chapters in driver-api.pdf is getting closer to 100. When it reaches 100, another set of tweaks will be necessary. 3.

It turns out that LaTeX enables \write18, which allows (some) shell commands to be executed from the document source, by default. This the often-seen warning during a pdfdocs build: restricted \write18 enabled That is a potential security problem and is entirely unnecessary; nothing in the kernel PDF docs build needs that capability. So disable \write18 explicitly.

PDF-generation improvements from Akira Yokasawa; Akira says: This patch set improves conversions of DOT -> PDF and SVG -> PDF for PDF docs. * DOT -> PDF conversion Current scheme uses "dot -Tpdf" (of graphviz). Cons: - openSUSE's dot(1) does not support -Tpdf. - Other distro's dot(1) generates PDFs with unnecessarily wide margins for inclusion into LaTeX docs. Patch 1/4 changes the route to the following two steps: 1. DOT -> SVG by "dot -Tsvg" 2. SVG -> PDF by "rsvg-convert -f pdf" with fallback to convert(1) Pros: - Improved portability across distros - Less space around graphs in final PDF documents Con: - On systems without rsvg-convert, generated PDF will be of raster image. Patch 2/4 avoids raster-image PDF by using "dot -Tpdf" on systems where the option is available. * SVG -> PDF conversion Current scheme uses convert(1) (of ImageMagick) Cons: - Generated PDFs are of raster image. Some of them look blurry. - Raster images tend to be large in size. - convert(1) delegates SVG decoding to rsvg-convert(1). It doesn't cover full range of Inkscape-specific SVG features and fails to convert some of SVG figures properly. Improper conversions are observed with SVGs listed below (incomplete, conversion quality depends on the version of rsvg-convert): - Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/selection.svg - Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_525.svg - Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_625.svg - Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_hsync.svg - Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/DRBD-8.3-data-packets.svg - Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/DRBD-data-packages.svg If you have Inkscape installed as well, convert(1) delegates SVG decoding to inkscape(1) rather than to rsvg-convert(1) and SVGs listed above can be rendered properly. So if Inkscape is required for converting those SVGs properly, why not use it directly in the first place? Patches 3/4 and 4/4 add code to utilize inkscape(1) for SVG -> PDF conversion when it is available. They don't modify any existing requirements for kernel-doc. Patch 3/4 adds the alternative route of SVG -> PDF conversion by inkscape(1). Patch 4/4 delegates warning messages from inkscape(1) to kernellog.verbose as they are likely harmless in command-line uses. Pros: - Generated PDFs are of vector graphics. - Vector graphics tends to be smaller in size and looks nicer when zoomed in. - SVGs drawn by Inkscape are fully supported. On systems without Inkscape, no regression is expected by these two patches.

Depending on its version, distro config, and system-setup type, inkscape(1) emits various warning messages which are harmless in command-line uses. List of such warning messages (incomplete, long ones wrapped): - Gtk-Message: hh:mm:ss.nnn: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" - Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused - Failed to get connection - ** (inkscape:xxx): CRITICAL **: hh:mm:ss.nnn: dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed - ** (inkscape:xxx): CRITICAL **: hh:mm:ss.nnn: dbus_g_proxy_call: assertion 'DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed - ** (inkscape:xxx): CRITICAL **: hh:mm:ss.nnn: dbus_g_connection_register_g_object: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed - ** (inkscape:xxx): WARNING **: hh:mm:ss.nnn: Fonts dir '/usr/share/inkscape/fonts' does not exist and will be ignored. To avoid unnecessary anxiety, capture the message and output it via kernellog.verbose or kernellog.warn depending on the exit code.

Using convert(1) of ImageMagick for SVG -> PDF conversion results in PDFs containing raster (bitmap) images which sometimes look blurry. Ideally speaking, SVG to PDF conversion should retain vector graphics in SVG. rsvg-convert(1) can do such conversions with regard to SVG files generated by dot(1). Unfortunately, rsvg-convert(1) does not cover some of SVG features specific to Inkscape. inkscape(1) of Inkscape naturally covers such SVG features. So add a route in svg2pdf() so that inkscape(1) is used when it is available. Note: After this change, if you have Inkscape installed, ImageMagick nor librsvg are not required.

To prevent any regression on existing build systems, limit the fallback of converting DOT -> raster PDF only when both of the following conditions are met. o dot(1) doesn't support -Tpdf o rsvg-convert(1) is not found While we are here, add kernellog.verbose messages related to rsvg-convert, 'dot -Tpdf', and 'dot -Tsvg' commands.

On openSUSE, dot(1) command does not support direct PDF output. On other distros, generated PDF images have unnecessarily wide margins, especially for small graphs. By using dot(1) for DOT -> SVG, then rsvg-convert(1) for SVG -> PDF, more optimal PDF images can be obtained, with the bonus of improved portability across various distros. Add rules in kfigure.py so that the above mentioned route is taken when rsvg-convert(1) is available. Note that rsvg-convert(1) is recommended by sphinx_pre_install. So it is most likely that existing systems for building pdfdocs have rsvg-convert(1) installed. Note: SVG features supported by rsvg-convert(1) vary depending on its version and distro config. For example, the one found on Ubuntu Bionic (version 2.40.20) does poor job in rendering some of SVG files drawn by Inkscape. SVG files generated by dot(1) are converted nicely even with such old versions of rsvg-convert. So this change does not affect the quality of such figures in any way.
