Fix kernel-doc processing of SYSCALL wrappers.
The SYSCALL wrapper patches played havoc with kernel-doc for
syscalls. Syscalls that were scanned for DocBook processing
reported warnings like this one, for sys_tgkill:Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'tgkill'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int'because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
although they are not:/**
* sys_tgkill - send signal to one specific thread
* @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
* @pid: the PID of the thread
* @sig: signal to be sent
*
* This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
* exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
* method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.

The method for listing varargs in kernel-doc notation is:
* @...: these arguments are printed by the @fmt argumentbut scripts/kernel-doc is confused: it always lists varargs as:
... variable arguments

line after the list of function parameters as though it's
not part of the function parameters.This patch makes kernel-doc print the supplied @... description if it is

I saw this problem recently. With this kernel-doc:
* Note: some important info
*
* Note: other important infokernel-doc uses the "section name" (preceding the ':', like "Note") as a hash
key for storing the descriptive text ("blah important info"). It is (was)
possible to have duplicate (colliding) section names, without any kind of
warning or error.kernel-doc happily used the latter descriptive text for all instances of
printing the descriptive text and the former important info
was lost.One way to "fix" this is to modify the kernel-doc comments, e.g.:
* Note1: foo bar
*
* Note.2: blah zayFor now, kernel-doc will signal an error when it sees colliding section names
like this.Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap

When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused
by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c.The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..."
in combination with:
Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter ''The function pointers are defined without a * i.e.
int (drv_callback)(struct request *)The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't.
This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of
function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ?
The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c.However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter
description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't
normally.I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal
form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed
kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code
that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it
should not be used and will removed at some point).Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy

Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were. Fixed that.However, that left a problem with
($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to <p>, which isn't good for the
generated html output (theshould remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the
stream to its output file.Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any
output mode (text, man, html, xml).Also update copyright to include me.

In a different approach here's a patch that handles the special case of
composite arithmetic expressions in array size initializers. With it,
prior to pushing the split strings on the @first_arg array, I split the
keywords before the array name as before and then keep the array name along
with the subscript expression as a single whole element which gets pushed
last. In this manner, kernel-doc produces correct output without removing
whitespaces which makes the array subscripts unreadable in the docs.Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov
