Mauro Carvalho ChehabandJonathan Corbet ff8b091864 docs: maintainers_include: keep the last entry at the end
The last maintainer's entry ("THE REST") is meant to be at the
end. Ensure that.

While here, use a case-insensitive sort to avoid placing "iSCSI"
near the end.

Mauro Carvalho ChehabandJonathan Corbet 84a9658e84 docs: maintainers_include: better handle directories
The TOC tree needs to use paths relative to the document containing
the maintainers-profile-toc directive. Fix it.

While here, address a warning from sashiko-bot, which points
that using partition can be problematic if the root Linux path
ends being something like:

    foo/Documentation/linux/

causing the documentation dir to be at:

    foo/Documentation/linux/Documentation

Very unlikely, but fixing it is trivial: just use regex to
pick the last one.

Notice that I dropped the comment about using os.fspath() as
the logic already uses os.path.abspath() which should work
equally well.

Mauro Carvalho ChehabandJonathan Corbet 247cb381a5 docs: maintainers_include: don't ignore invalid profile entries
Currently, there is a "P" entry for Rust pin-init that is
neither a valid ReST file inside Documentation nor an URL.

A proper fix is to either convert/move the file or point to
a URL. Yet, the parser should be able to pick what's there and
show on its output.

Add a logic to produce a warning when this happens.

Mauro Carvalho ChehabandJonathan Corbet 4cd160e4ea docs: maintainers_include: split state machine on multiple funcs
Instead of one big __init__ code, split the MaintainersParser
code in a way that the state machine remains on __init__, but
the actual parser for descriptions and subsystems are moved
to separate functions.

To make parser easier, instead storing parsed results on a list,
place them directly on a string.

That granted 15% of performance increase(*) with Python 3.14 and
made the logic simpler.

(*) measured by creating a new directory under Documentation/,
    and placing justmaintainers.rst and an index file there,
    building it via sphinx-build-wrapper.

os.path.relpath() will do the wrong thing with O=dir, as the build
system uses "cd <dir>" internally.

Solve it by using app.srcdir, which, on normal cases, point to
Documentation/, or, when SPHINXDIRS=process, it will be set with
Documentation/process.

While here, remove a dead code while writing maintainer profiles,
as now all entries should have both profile and entry.

Mauro Carvalho ChehabandJonathan Corbet 237abdfaa6 docs: maintainers_include: improve its output
There are three "types" of profiles:
1. Profiles already included inside subsystem-specific documentation.
   This is the most common case;
2. Profiles that are hosted externally;
3. Profiles that are at the same location as maintainer-handbooks.rst.

For (3), we need to create a TOC, as they don't exist elsewhere.

Change the logic to create TOC just for (3), prepending the
content of maintainer-handbooks with a sorted entry of all types,
before the TOC.

With such change, we can have an unique sorted list of profiles,
having the subsystem names used there listed.

When a maintainer's profile is stored outside process, they're

However, files directly placed together with maintainers-handbooks.rst

aren't placed anywhere, so we can keep using their own names,
letting Sphinx do his thing.

The ability to build the docs with an external kernel-doc program involves
some truly confusing logic and complicates the task of moving kernel-doc
out of scripts/.  But this feature is not useful for normal documentation
builds, and the external kernel-doc can always be run by hand when it needs
debugging.  So just remove that feature and make life easier.

There is still a bunch of logic to build a command line that we never use;
the idea is to be able to output it, but I'm not sure if that is worth
keeping.
