Untangle some of the $is_macro logic and the nested conditionals. This makes it easier to see where and how the signature is actually printed. No functional change. Signed-off-by:

Format the entire function signature and place it in a separate variable; this both makes it easier to understand what these lines of code are doing and will allow us to simplify the code further in the following patch. No functional change. Signed-off-by:

Set 'softtabstop' to 4 spaces, which will hopefully help keep the indentation in this file consistent going forwards. This mirrors the modeline in scripts such as recordmcount.pl, ktest.pl, and others. Emacs seems to use 4 spaces to indent by default, so it doesn't require anything special here. No functional change. Signed-off-by:

This file is using an ungodly mixture of 4 spaces, 2-wide tabs, 4-wide tabs, _and_ 8-wide tabs, making it really hard to find good editor settings for working with this file. Bite the bullet and reindent it by hand. I tried using both perltidy and vim, but neither of them were up to the task without changing too much or getting confused about what they were supposed to be doing. I did change a few instances of } else into } else (and same for elsif); the file is again written using both styles, and I left functions which already seemed self-consistent alone. You can verify that this commit only changes whitespace using e.g.: git diff --ignore-all-space --word-diff or to see (only) the instances where newlines were added/removed: git diff --ignore-all-space You can also see the delta from what perltidy would have wanted to do to this file (when asked to only indent it), which isn't that much in the end: perltidy -io -fnl scripts/kernel-doc git diff --no-index scripts/kernel-doc{,.tdy} Signed-off-by: -

The Python module pyyaml is required to build the docs, but it is only listed in Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt and is therefore missing when Sphinx is installed as a package and not via pip/pypi. Add pyyaml as an optional package for multiple distros to fix building the docs if you prefer to install Sphinx as a package. Signed-off-by:

The number of possible CPUs is set be kernel in early boot time through some discovery mechanisms, like ACPI in x86. We have a parameter both in x86 and S390 to override that - there are some cases of BIOSes exposing more possible CPUs than the available ones, so this parameter is a good testing mechanism, but for some reason wasn't mentioned so far in the kernel parameters guide - let's fix that.

The kernel subsystem APIs front page currently has four top-level groupings with headers, and then everything else that isn't grouped. But in the table-of-contents, ungrouped subsystems are indented as if they were part of the preceding grouping (currently "Storage interfaces"), which is confusing. Fix this by adding an "Other subsystems" header for the ungrouped subsystems. Fixes: 3c591cc9 ("docs: consolidate human interface subsystems") Signed-off-by:

In the Linux perf tool, the ring buffer serves not only as a medium for transferring PMU event data but also as a vital mechanism for hardware tracing using technologies like Intel PT and Arm CoreSight, etc. Consequently, the ring buffer mechanism plays a crucial role by ensuring high throughput for data transfer between the kernel and user space while avoiding excessive overhead caused by the ring buffer itself. This commit documents the ring buffer mechanism in detail. It explains the implementation of both the regular ring buffer and the AUX ring buffer. Additionally, it covers how these ring buffers support various tracing modes and explains the synchronization with memory barriers. Signed-off-by:

Since 2014 kernel-doc has supported describing object-like macros but it is not documented anywhere. I should have required some documentation for it when I merged the patch. :( There are currently only 3 uses of this (all in DRM headers, in include/drm/*.h). Add object-like macro kernel-doc documentation now so that more may know about it and use it. Fixes: cbb4d3e6 ("scripts/kernel-doc: handle object-like macros") Signed-off-by:

It's good to be clear about who the intended target audience for any given piece of documentation is, as this will help us put new text in the correct place. Let's encourage submitters to state it explicitly rather than relying on where they placed it in the directory hierarchy as there isn't necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between them. Target audience: documentation contributors and reviewers. Signed-off-by:

Commit 1db9d06aaa55 ("mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLAB from all Kconfig and Makefile") removes the config SLAB and makes the SLUB allocator the only default allocator in the kernel. Hence, the advice on reducing OS jitter due to kworker kernel threads to build with CONFIG_SLUB instead of CONFIG_SLAB is obsolete. Remove the obsolete advice to build with SLUB instead of SLAB.
