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

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.

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

[ jc: fixed perl magic to determine sphinx version ]
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
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.

In the past, Sphinx was generating a LaTex Makefile that would
run xelatex 3 times. Running it multiple times is needed in order
to make the indexes right.
However, newer versions of it runs it just once, as it expects
the machine to use the "latexmk" build, with automatically
detects the need for rebuilds.
So, add a logic at the Makefile in order to detect if latexmk
is installed. If so, it will call it.
As an additional bonus, the output of latexmk is a little bit
better, making easier to identify build problems.

This adds the build infrastructure for checking DT binding schema
documents and validating dts files using the binding schema.
Check DT binding schema documents:
make dt_binding_check
Build dts files and check using DT binding schema:
make dtbs_check
Optionally, DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be passed in with a schema file(s) to
use for validation. This makes it easier to find and fix errors
generated by a specific schema.
Currently, the validation targets are separate from a normal build to
avoid a hard dependency on the external DT schema project and because
there are lots of warnings generated.

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.
Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.
Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).
