docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are made

2019-11-22T17:35:18+00:00

Rasmus correctly observed that the existing jobserver reservation only worked if no other build targets were specified. The correct approach is to hold the jobserver slots until sphinx has finished. To fix this, the following changes are made: - refactor (and rename) scripts/jobserver-exec to set an environment variable for the maximally reserved jobserver slots and exec a child, to release the slots on exit. - create Documentation/scripts/parallel-wrapper.sh which examines both $PARALLELISM and the detected "-jauto" logic from Documentation/Makefile to decide sphinx's final -j argument. - chain these together in Documentation/Makefile Suggested-by: Rasmus Villemoes Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eb25959a-9ec4-3530-2031-d9d716b40b20@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191121205929.40371-4-keescook@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

kbuild: Wrap long "make help" text lines

Some "make help" text lines extend beyond 80 characters. Wrap them before an opening parenthesis, or before 80 characters. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

docs: Fix "make help" suggestion for SPHINXDIR

2019-10-10T17:20:54+00:00

Commit 9fc3a18a942f ("docs: remove extra conf.py files") broke the setting of _SPHINXDIRS in Documentation/Makefile. Let's just have it look for an index.rst file instead.

docs: Use make invocation's -j argument for parallelism

2019-10-01T12:24:27+00:00

While sphinx 1.7 and later supports "-jauto" for parallelism, this effectively ignores the "-j" flag used in the "make" invocation, which may cause confusion for build systems. Instead, extract the available parallelism from "make"'s job server (since it is not exposed in any special variables) and use that for the "sphinx-build" run. Now things work correctly for builds where -j is specified at the top-level: make -j16 htmldocs If -j is not specified, continue to fallback to "-jauto" if available.

docs: Kbuild/Makefile: allow check for missing docs at build time

2019-06-07T17:33:16+00:00

While this doesn't make sense for production Kernels, in order to avoid regressions when documents are touched, let's add a check target at the make file. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: Completely fix the remote build tree case

2019-06-04T13:55:49+00:00

My previous fix miserably failed to catch all of the invocations of "./scripts/sphinx-pre-install", so we got build errors. Try again with more caffeine. Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: look for sphinx-pre-install in the source tree

2019-05-31T16:02:11+00:00

Recent makefile changes included an invocation of ./scripts/sphinx-pre-install. Unfortunately, that fails when a separate build directory is in use with: /bin/bash: ./scripts/sphinx-pre-install: No such file or directory Use $(srctree) to fully specify the location of this script.

docs: by default, build docs a lot faster with Sphinx >= 1.7

2019-05-30T16:41:30+00:00

Since Sphinx version 1.7, it is possible to use "-jauto" in order to speedup documentation builds. On older versions, while -j was already supported, one would need to set the number of threads manually. So, if SPHINXOPTS is not provided, add -jauto, in order to speed up the build. That makes it *a lot* times faster than without -j. If one really wants to slow things down, it can just use: make SPHINXOPTS=-j1 htmldocs Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab [ jc: fixed perl magic to determine sphinx version ] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

scripts/sphinx-pre-install: always check if version is compatible with build

2019-05-30T16:40:24+00:00

Call the script every time a make docs target is selected, on a simplified check mode. With this change, the script will set two vars: $min_version - obtained from `needs_sphinx` var inside conf.py (currently, '1.3') $rec_version - obtained from sphinx/requirements.txt. With those changes, a target like "make htmldocs" will do: 1) If no sphinx-build/sphinx-build3 is found, it will run the script on normal mode as before, checking for all system dependencies and providing install hints for the needed programs and will abort the build; 2) If no sphinx-build/sphinx-build3 is found, but there is a sphinx_${VER}/bin/activate file, and if ${VER} >= $min_version (string comparation), it will run in full mode, and will recommend to activate the virtualenv. If there are multiple virtualenvs, it will string sort the versions, recommending the highest version and will abort the build; 3) If Sphinx is detected but has a version lower than $min_version, it will run in full mode - with will recommend creating a virtual env using sphinx/requirements.txt, and will abort the build. 4) If Sphinx is detected and version is lower than $rec_version, it will run in full mode and will recommend creating a virtual env using sphinx/requirements.txt. In this case, it **won't** abort the build. 5) If Sphinx is detected and version is equal or righer than $rec_version it will return just after detecting the version ("quick mode"), not checking if are there any missing dependencies. Just like before, if one wants to install Sphinx from the distro, it has to call the script manually and use `--no-virtualenv` argument to get the hints for his OS: You should run: sudo dnf install -y python3-sphinx python3-sphinx_rtd_theme While here, add a small help for the three optional arguments for the script.
