Hi Jon,
This series does a major cleanup at docs Makefile by moving the
actual doc build logic to a helper script (scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper).
Such script was written in a way that it can be called either
directly or via a makefile. When running via makefile, it will
use GNU jobserver to ensure that, when sphinx-build is
called, the number of jobs will match at most what it is
specified by the "-j" parameter.
The first 3 patches do a cleanup at scripts/jobserver-exec
and moves the actual code to a library. Such library is used
by both the jobserver-exec command line and by sphinx-build-wrappper.
The change also gets rid of parallel-wrapper.sh, whose
functions are now part of the wrapper code.
---
v5:
- merged comments with the script;
- placed n_jobs on a separate function;
- nitpick: dropped a for loop used instead of list append.
v4:
- updated references for sphinx-pre-install after its rename;
- added some extra patches to add more options to python_version,
allowing it to bail out and suggest alternatives;
- added a patch at the end to explicitly break doc builds when
python3 points to python3.6 or older.
v3:
- rebased on the top of docs-next;
- added two patches to build man files that were on a separate
patch series.
v2:
- there's no generic exception handler anymore;
- it moves sphinx-pre-install to tools/docs;
- the logic which ensures a minimal Python version got moved
to a library, which is now used by both pre-install and wrapper;
- The first wrapper (05/13) doesn't contain comments (except for
shebang and SPDX). The goal is to help showing the size increase
when moving from Makefile to Python. Some file increase is
unavoidable, as Makefile is more compact: no includes, multple
statements per line, no argparse, etc;
- The second patch adds docstrings and comments. It has almost
the same size of the code itself;
- I moved the venv logic to a third wrapper patch;
- I fixed an issue at the paraller build logic;
- There are no generic except blocks anymore.

Convert the code inside jobserver-exec to a class and
properly document it.
Using a class allows reusing the jobserver logic on other
scripts.
While the main code remains unchanged, being compatible with
Python 2.6 and 3.0+, its coding style now follows a more
modern standard, having tabs replaced by a 4-spaces
indent, passing autopep8, black and pylint.
The code now allows allows using a pythonic way to
enter/exit a python code, e.g. it now supports:
with JobserverExec() as jobserver:
jobserver.run(sys.argv[1:])
With the new code, the __exit__() function should ensure
that the jobserver slot will be closed at the end, even if
something bad happens somewhere.

Currently, calling it without an argument shows an ugly error

The sphinx-pre-install code has some logic to deal with Python
version, which ensures that a minimal version will be enforced
for documentation build logic.
Move it to a separate library to allow re-using its code.
No functional changes.

The caller script may not want an automatic execution of the new
version. Add two parameters to allow showing alternatives and to
bail out if version is incompatible.

There are too much magic inside docs Makefile to properly run
sphinx-build. Create an ancillary script that contains all
kernel-related sphinx-build call logic currently at Makefile.
Such script is designed to work both as an standalone command
and as part of a Makefile. As such, it properly handles POSIX
jobserver used by GNU make.
On a side note, there was a line number increase due to the
conversion (ignoring comments) is:
Documentation/Makefile | 131 +++----------

2 files changed, 323 insertions(+), 101 deletions(-)
Comments and descriptions adds:
tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper | 261 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-
So, about half of the script are comments/descriptions.
This is because some things are more verbosed on Python and because
it requires reading env vars from Makefile. Besides it, this script
has some extra features that don't exist at the Makefile:
- It can be called directly from command line;
- It properly return PDF build errors.
When running the script alone, it will only take handle sphinx-build
targets. On other words, it won't runn make rustdoc after building
htmlfiles, nor it will run the extra check scripts.

Sometimes, it is desired to run Sphinx from a virtual environment.
Add a command line parameter to automatically build Sphinx from
such environment.

an error happens, the build fails. This is good for normal builds,
but when debugging problems with pdf generation, the best is to
use interactive mode.
We already support it via LATEXOPTS, but having a command line
argument makes it easier:
Interactive mode:
./scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper pdfdocs --sphinxdirs peci -v -i
...
Running 'xelatex --no-pdf -no-pdf -recorder ".../Documentation/output/peci/latex/peci.tex"'
...
Default batch mode:
./scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper pdfdocs --sphinxdirs peci -v
...
Running 'xelatex --no-pdf -no-pdf -interaction=batchmode -no-shell-escape -recorder ".../Documentation/output/peci/latex/peci.tex"'
...

On a properly set system, LANG and LC_ALL is always defined.
However, some distros like Debian, Gentoo and their variants
start with those undefioned.
When Sphinx tries to set a locale with:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
It raises an exception, making Sphinx fail. This is more likely
to happen with test containers.
Add a logic to detect and workaround such issue by setting
locale to C.

Use POSIX jobserver when available or -j<number> to run PDF
builds in parallel, restoring pdf build performance. Yet,
running it when debugging troubles is a bad idea, so, when
calling directly via command line, except if "-j" is splicitly
requested, it will serialize the build.
With such change, a PDF doc builds now takes around 5 minutes
on a Ryzen 9 machine with 32 cpu threads:
# Explicitly paralelize both Sphinx and LaTeX pdf builds
$ make cleandocs; time scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper pdfdocs -j 33

# Serializes PDF build, while keeping Sphinx parallelized.

Generating man files currently requires running a separate
script. The target also doesn't appear at the docs Makefile.
Add support for mandocs at the Makefile, adding the build
logic inside sphinx-build-wrapper, updating documentation
and dropping the ancillary script.

How to use kernel-doc to generate man pages
-------------------------------------------
-If you just want to use kernel-doc to generate man pages you can do this
-from the kernel git tree::
+To generate man pages for all files that contain kernel-doc markups, run::
- $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \
- $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- :^Documentation :^tools) \
- | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man
+ $ make mandocs
-Some older versions of git do not support some of the variants of syntax for
-path exclusion. One of the following commands may work for those versions::
+Or calling ``script-build-wrapper`` directly::
- $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \
- $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- . ':!Documentation' ':!tools') \
- | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man
+ $ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper mandocs
- $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \
- $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- . ":(exclude)Documentation" ":(exclude)tools") \
- | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man
+The output will be at ``/man`` directory inside the output directory
+(by default: ``Documentation/output``).
+
+Optionally, it is possible to generate a partial set of man pages by
+using SPHINXDIRS:
+
+ $ make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/media mandocs
+
+.. note::
+
+ When SPHINXDIRS={subdir} is used, it will only generate man pages for
+ the files explicitly inside a ``Documentation/{subdir}/.../*.rst`` file.

While cross-references are complex, as related ones can be on
different files, we can at least correlate the ones that belong
to the same file, adding a SEE ALSO section for them.
The result is not bad. See for instance:
$ tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --sphinxdirs driver-api/media -- mandocs
$ man Documentation/output/driver-api/man/edac_pci_add_device.9
edac_pci_add_device(9) Kernel Hacker's Manual edac_pci_add_device(9)
NAME
edac_pci_add_device - Insert the 'edac_dev' structure into the
edac_pci global list and create sysfs entries associated with
edac_pci structure.
SYNOPSIS
int edac_pci_add_device (struct edac_pci_ctl_info *pci , int
edac_idx );
ARGUMENTS
pci pointer to the edac_device structure to be added to
the list
edac_idx A unique numeric identifier to be assigned to the
RETURN
0 on Success, or an error code on failure
SEE ALSO
edac_pci_alloc_ctl_info(9), edac_pci_free_ctl_info(9),
edac_pci_alloc_index(9), edac_pci_del_device(9), edac_pci_cre\u2010

When running kernel-doc over multiple documents, it emits
one error message per file with is not what we want:
$ python3.6 scripts/kernel-doc.py . --none
...
Warning: ./include/trace/events/swiotlb.h:0 Python 3.7 or later is required for correct results
Warning: ./include/trace/events/iommu.h:0 Python 3.7 or later is required for correct results
Warning: ./include/trace/events/sock.h:0 Python 3.7 or later is required for correct results
...
Change the logic to warn it only once at the library:
$ python3.6 scripts/kernel-doc.py . --none
Warning: Python 3.7 or later is required for correct results
Warning: ./include/cxl/features.h:0 Python 3.7 or later is required for correct results
When running from command line, it warns twice, but that sounds
ok.

Before this patch, building htmldocs on opensuseLEAP works
fine:
# make htmldocs
Available Python versions:
/usr/bin/python3.11
Python 3.6.15 not supported. Changing to /usr/bin/python3.11
Python 3.6.15 not supported. Changing to /usr/bin/python3.11
Using alabaster theme
Using Python kernel-doc
...
As the logic detects that Python 3.6 is too old and recommends
intalling python311-Sphinx. If installed, documentation builds
work like a charm.
Yet, some develpers complained that running python3.11 instead
of python3 should not happen. So, let's break the build to make
them happier:
$ make htmldocs
Python 3.6.15 not supported. Bailing out
You could run, instead:
/usr/bin/python3.11 tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper htmldocs \
--sphinxdirs=. --conf=conf.py --builddir=Documentation/output --theme= --css= \
--paper=
Python 3.6.15 not supported. Bailing out
make[2]: *** [Documentation/Makefile:76: htmldocs] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1806: htmldocs] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
It should be noticed that:
1. after this change, sphinx-pre-install needs to be called
by hand:
$ /usr/bin/python3.11 tools/docs/sphinx-pre-install
Detected OS: openSUSE Leap 15.6.
Sphinx version: 7.2.6
All optional dependencies are met.
Needed package dependencies are met.
2. sphinx-build-wrapper will auto-detect python3.11 and
suggest a way to build the docs using the parameters passed
via make variables. In this specific example:
/usr/bin/python3.11 tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper htmldocs --sphinxdirs=. --conf=conf.py --theme= --css= --paper=
3. As this needs to be executed outside docs Makefile, it won't run
the validation check scripts nor build Rust documentation if
enabled, as the extra scripts are part of the docs Makefile.
