Commit 701b3a3c0ac4 ("PATCH scripts/kernel-doc") fixed the two
instances of literal braces that Perl 5.28 warns about, but there are
still more than it doesn't warn about.Escape all left braces that are treated as literal characters. Also
escape literal right braces, for consistency and to avoid confusing
bracket-matching in text editors.Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

So once upon a time I set out to fix the problem reported by Tobin wherein
a literal block within a kerneldoc comment would be corrupted in
processing. On the way, though, I got annoyed at the way I have to learn
how kernel-doc works from the beginning every time I tear into it.As a result, seven of the following eight patches just get rid of some dead
code and reorganize the rest - mostly turning the 500-line process_file()
function into something a bit more rational. Sphinx output is unchanged
after these are applied. Then, at the end, there's a tweak to stop messing
with literal blocks.If anybody was unaware that I've not done any serious Perl since the
1990's, they will certainly understand that fact now. -
Add the SPDX header while I'm in the neighborhood. The source itself just

It can be useful to put code snippets into kerneldoc comments; that can be
done with the "::" operator at the end of a line like this::if (desperate)
run_in_circles();The ".. code-block::" directive can also be used to this end. kernel-doc
currently fails to understand these literal blocks and applies its normal
markup to them, which is then treated as literal by sphinx. The result is
unsightly markup instead of a useful code snippet.Apply a hack to the output code to recognize literal blocks and avoid
performing any special markup on them. It's ugly, but that means it fits
in well with the rest of the script.Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula

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.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

It is possible to use nested structs like:
struct {
struct {
void *arg1;
} st1, st2, *st3, st4;

was used to test
struct foo { int a; }; /* Just to avoid errors if compiled *//**
* struct my_struct - a struct with nested unions and structs

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.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

CGU_CLK_DIV = BIT(5),
CGU_CLK_FIXDIV = BIT(6),
CGU_CLK_CUSTOM = BIT(7),

struct ingenic_cgu_mux_info mux;
struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div;

struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom;

**Definition**

My bisect scripts starting running into build failures when trying to
compile 4.15-rc1 with the builds failing with things like:drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union!
The line in question is actually just a #define, but after some digging
it turns out that my scripts pass W=1 and since commit 3a025e1d1c2ea
("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") that results in
kernel-doc running on each source file. The file in question has a
badly formatted comment immediately before the #define:/**
* struct brcmf_skbuff_cb reserves first two bytes in sk_buff::cb for
* bus layer usage.
*/which causes the regex in dump_struct to fail (lack of braces following
struct declaration) and kernel-doc returns 1, which causes the build
to fail.Fix the issue by always returning 0 from kernel-doc when invoked with
-none. It successfully generates no documentation, and prints out any
issues.Cc: Matthew Wilcox

Implement a '-none' output mode for kernel-doc which will only output
warning messages, and suppresses the warning message about there being
no kernel-doc in the file.If the build has requested additional warnings, automatically check all
.c files. This patch does not check .h files. Enabling the warning
by default would add about 1300 warnings, so it's default off for now.
People who care can use this to check they didn't break the docs and
maybe we'll get all the warnings fixed and be able to enable this check
by default in the future.Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

Reported by Johannes Berg [1]. Problem here: function
process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration
without any whitespace. A one-liner of::struct something {
struct foo
bar;
};has to be::
struct something {struct foo bar;};
Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space
between 'foo' and 'bar'::struct something {struct foobar;};
Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines
between enum declaration::warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo'
Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from
the concatenated string (with the new additional space from
process_proto_type).[1] https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-doc@vger.kernel.org/msg12410.html

The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl
along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix.
The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the
Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl.This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's
the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody.
Perl's executable is detected automatically.This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more
modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the
default behavior.While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?).
