"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. We
already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries
there, and update the users accordingly.
While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another
directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".

Our documentation-related tools are spread out over various directories;
several are buried in the scripts/ dumping ground. That makes them harder
to discover and harder to maintain.
Recent work has started accumulating our documentation-related tools in
/tools/docs. This series nearly completes that task, moving most of the
rest of our various utilities there, hopefully fixing up all of the
relevant references in the process.
The one exception is scripts/kernel-doc; that move turned up some other
problems, so I have dropped it until those are ironed out.
At the end, rather than move the old, Perl kernel-doc, I simply removed it.
Move this tool out of scripts/ to join the other documentation tools; fix
up a couple of erroneous references in the process.
It's worth noting that this script will fail badly unless one has a
PYTHONPATH referencing scripts/lib/abi.

Quoth Mauro:
This series should probably be called:
"Move the trick-or-treat build hacks accumulated over time
into a single place and document them."
as this reflects its main goal. As such:
- it places the jobserver logic on a library;
- it removes sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh;
- the code now properly implements a jobserver-aware logic
to do the parallelism when called via GNU make, failing back to
"-j" when there's no jobserver;
- converts check-variable-fonts.sh to Python and uses it via
function call;
- drops an extra script to generate man pages, adding a makefile
target for it;
- ensures that return code is 0 when PDF successfully builds;
- about half of the script is comments and documentation.
I tried to do my best to document all tricks that are inside the
script. This way, the docs build steps is now documented.
It should be noticed that it is out of the scope of this series
to change the implementation. Surely the process can be improved,
but first let's consolidate and document everything on a single
place.
Such script was written in a way that it can be called either
directly or via a Makefile. Running outside Makefile is
interesting specially when debug is needed. The command line
interface replaces the need of having lots of env vars before
calling sphinx-build:
$ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --help
usage: sphinx-build-wrapper [-h]
[--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]] [--conf CONF]
[--builddir BUILDDIR] [--theme THEME] [--css CSS] [--paper {,a4,letter}] [-v]
[-j JOBS] [-i] [-V [VENV]]
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Kernel documentation builder
positional arguments:
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Documentation target to build
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]
Specific directories to build
--conf CONF Sphinx configuration file
--builddir BUILDDIR Sphinx configuration file
--theme THEME Sphinx theme to use
--css CSS Custom CSS file for HTML/EPUB
--paper {,a4,letter} Paper size for LaTeX/PDF output
-v, --verbose place build in verbose mode
-j, --jobs JOBS Sets number of jobs to use with sphinx-build
-i, --interactive Change latex default to run in interactive mode
-V, --venv [VENV] If used, run Sphinx from a venv dir (default dir: sphinx_latest)
the only mandatory argument is the target, which is identical with
"make" targets.
The call inside Makefile doesn't use the last four arguments. They're
there to help identifying problems at the build:
-v makes the output verbose;
-j helps to test parallelism;
-i runs latexmk in interactive mode, allowing to debug PDF
build issues;
-V is useful when testing it with different venvs.
When used with GNU make (or some other make which implements jobserver),
a call like:
make -j <targets> htmldocs
will make the wrapper to automatically use POSIX jobserver to claim
the number of available job slots, calling sphinx-build with a
"-j" parameter reflecting it. ON such case, the default can be
overriden via SPHINXDIRS argument.
Visiable changes when compared with the old behavior:
When V=0, the only visible difference is that:
- pdfdocs target now returns 0 on success, 1 on failures.
This addresses an issue over the current process where we
it always return success even on failures;
- it will now print the name of PDF files that failed to build,
if any.
In verbose mode, sphinx-build-wrapper and sphinx-build command lines
are now displayed.
C domain supports a ".. c:namespace::" tag that allows setting a
symbol namespace. This is used within the kernel to avoid warnings
about duplicated symbols. This is specially important for syscalls,
as each subsystem may have their own documentation for them.
This is specially true for ioctl.
When such tag is used, all C domain symbols have c++ style,
e.g. they'll become "{namespace}.{reference}".
Allow specifying C namespace at the exception files, avoiding
the need of override rules for every symbol.

Each subtest (timer_prealloc and timer_no_prealloc) can trigger the

Lower the expected level of traffic in the pp_alloc_fail test
and calculate failure counter thresholds based on the traffic
rather than using a fixed constant.
We only have "QEMU HW" in NIPA right now, and the test (due to
debug dependencies) only works on debug kernels in the first place.
We need some place for it to pass otherwise it seems to be bit
rotting. So lower the traffic threshold so that it passes on QEMU
and with a debug kernel...

Jakub reported this self test flaking occasionally (fails, but passes on
re-run) on debug kernels.
This is because the test checks for elapsed time to determine if both
connections were established in parallel.
Rework this to no longer depend on timing.
Use busywait helper to check that both sockets have moved to established
state and then query the conntrack engine for the two entries.

Jakub reports spurious failure of nft_fib.sh test.
This is caused by a subtle bug inherited when i moved faulty ping
from one test case to another.
nft_fib.sh not only checks that the fib expression matched, it also
records the number of matches and then validates we have the expected
count. When I did this it was under the assumption that we would
have 0 to n matching packets. In case of the failure, the entry has
n+1 matching packets.
This happens because ping_unreachable helper uses "ping -c 1 -w 1",
instead of the intended "-W". -w alters the meaning of -c (count),
namely, its then treated as number of wanted *replies* instead of
"number of packets to send".
So, in some cases, ping -c 1 -w 1 ends up sending two packets which then
makes the test fail due to the higher-than-expected packet count.
Fix the actual bug (s/-w/-W) and also change the error handling:
1. Show the number of expected packets in the error message
2. Always try to delete the key from the set.
Else, later test that makes sure we don't have unexpected keys
in there will always fail as well.

Linters are still not very happy with our __init__ files,
which was pointed out in recent review (see Link).
We have previously started importing things one by one to
make linters happy with the test files (which import from __init__).
But __init__ file itself still makes linters unhappy.
To clean it up I believe we must completely remove the wildcard
imports, and assign the imported modules to __all__.
hds.py needs to be fixed because it seems to be importing
the Python standard random from lib.net.
We can't use ksft_pr() / ktap_result() in case importing
from net.lib fails. Linters complain that those helpers

Since commit 22f72088ff ("tools headers: Update the syscall table with
the kernel sources") the arm64 syscall header is generated at build
time. Later, commit bfb713ea53 ("perf tools: Fix arm64 build by
generating unistd_64.h") added a dependency to libperf to guarantee that
this header was created before building libperf or perf itself.
However, libjvmti also requires this header but does not depend on
libperf, leading to build failures such as:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/syscall.h:24,
from /usr/include/syscall.h:1,
from jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:36:
tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:2:10: fatal error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <asm/unistd_64.h>
Fix this by ensuring that libperf is built before libjvmti, so that
unistd_64.h is always available.
