Linus Torvalds e6b0bd61a7 Merge tag 'docs-5.10-warnings' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation build warning fixes from Jonathan Corbet:
 "This contains a series of warning fixes from Mauro; once applied, the
  number of warnings from the once-noisy docs build process is nearly
  zero.

  Getting to this point has required a lot of work; once there,
  hopefully we can keep things that way.

  I have packaged this as a separate pull because it does a fair amount
  of reaching outside of Documentation/. The changes are all in comments
  and in code placement. It's all been in linux-next since last week"

Mauro Carvalho Chehab a7ee04b3ef docs: add ABI documentation to the admin-guide book
As we don't want a generic Sphinx extension to execute commands,
change the one proposed to Markus to call the abi_book.pl
script.

Use a script to parse the Documentation/ABI directory and output
it at the admin-guide.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 14059a38a4 docs: conf.py: change the Sphinx 3.x+ text
After the build fix patches, it is believed that the output
with Sphinx 3.x won't be a problem. Still, the C domain
support was re-written, and this can have caused hidden
issues.

So, let's keep the warning, changing it to a lighter
warning text.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab b34b86d7a4 docs: conf.py: fix c:function support with Sphinx 3.x
Sphinx C parser for the C domain is now more pedantic when
trying to identify the function types. That prevents scope
macros to be used as type defines.

Yet, since 3.0.2, it is possible to provide it a list of
such macros. Add them, in order to solve several Sphinx 3.x
warnings.

Alexander A. Klimov 93431e0607 Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
      For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
        If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
        return 200 OK and serve the same content:
          Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 25813cae1e docs: LaTeX/PDF: drop list of documents
The building system can auto-generate a list of documents since
commit: 9d42afbe6b ("docs: pdf: add all Documentation/*/index.rst to PDF output").

The added logic there allows keeping the existing list, but
there's not real reason to keep it. Now, the media document
has gone (it was split into tree).

So, it sounds about time to get rid of the manual entries,
and let the script to generate it automatically instead.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 4658b0eb94 docs: conf.py: avoid thousands of duplicate label warning on Sphinx
The autosectionlabel extension is nice, as it allows to refer to
a section by its name without requiring any extra tag to create
a reference name.

However, on its default, it has two serious problems:

1) the namespace is global. So, two files with different
   "introduction" section would create a label with the
   same name. This is easily solvable by forcing the extension
   to prepend the file name with:

	autosectionlabel_prefix_document = True

2) It doesn't work hierarchically. So, if there are two level 1
   sessions (let's say, one labeled "open" and another one "ioctl")
   and both have a level 2 "synopsis" label, both section 2 will
   have the same identical name.

   Currently, there's no way to tell Sphinx to create an
   hierarchical reference like:

		open / synopsis
		ioctl / synopsis

  This causes around 800 warnings. So, the fix should be to
  not let autosectionlabel to produce references for anything
  that it is not at a chapter level within any doc, with:

	autosectionlabel_maxdepth = 2

Kees Cook aa20485528 doc-rst: Programmatically render MAINTAINERS into ReST
In order to have the MAINTAINERS file visible in the rendered ReST
output, this makes some small changes to the existing MAINTAINERS file
to allow for better machine processing, and adds a new Sphinx directive
"maintainers-include" to perform the rendering.

Features include:
- Per-subsystem reference links: subsystem maintainer entries can be
  trivially linked to both internally and external. For example:
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainers.html#secure-computing

- Internally referenced .rst files are linked so they can be followed
  when browsing the resulting rendering. This allows, for example, the
  future addition of maintainer profiles to be automatically linked.

- Field name expansion: instead of the short fields (e.g. "M", "F",
  "K"), use the indicated inline "full names" for the fields (which are
  marked with "*"s in MAINTAINERS) so that a rendered subsystem entry
  is more human readable. Email lists are additionally comma-separated.
  For example:

    SECURE COMPUTING

	Reviewer: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>,

Mauro Carvalho Chehab e0de2b59e2 docs: conf.py: only use CJK if the font is available
If we try to build a book with asian characters with XeLaTeX
and the font is not available, it will produce an error.

So, instead, add a logic at conf.py to detect if the proper
font is installed.

This will avoid an error while building the document, although
the result may not be readable.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 9d42afbe6b docs: pdf: add all Documentation/*/index.rst to PDF output
Currently, all index files should be manually added to the
latex_documents array at conf.py.

While this allows fine-tuning some LaTeX specific things, like
the name of the output file and the name of the document, it
is not uncommon to forget adding new documents there.

So, add a logic that will seek for all Documentation/*/index.rst.
If the index is not yet at latex_documents, it includes using
a reasonable default.

Stephen Kitt 7282a93f4d Disable Sphinx SmartyPants in HTML output
The handling of dashes in particular results in confusing
documentation in a number of instances, since "--" becomes an
en-dash. This disables SmartyPants wholesale, losing smart quotes
along with smart dashes.

With Sphinx 1.6 we could fine-tune the conversion, using the new
smartquotes and smartquotes_action settings.

Darrick J. Wong 44ba0bb4f2 docs: improve readability for people with poorer eyesight
My eyesight is not in good shape, which means that I have difficulty
reading the online Linux documentation.  Specifically, body text is
oddly small compared to list items and the contrast of various text
elements is too low for me to be able to see easily.

Therefore, alter the HTML theme overrides to make the text larger and
increase the contrast for better visibility, and trust the typeface
choices of the reader's browser.

For the PDF output, increase the text size, use a sans-serif typeface
for sans-serif text, and use a serif typeface for "roman" serif text.
