2025-11-21Documentation/sphinx/kernel_feat.py: use class directlyMauro Carvalho Chehab
Now that get_feat is in Python, we don't need to use subprocess to fork an executable file: we can use the feature classes directly.

2025-11-21tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to PythonMauro Carvalho Chehab
As we want to call Python code directly at the Sphinx extension, convert get_feat.pl to Python. The code was made to be (almost) bug-compatible with the Perl version, with two exceptions: 1. Currently, Perl script outputs a wrong table if arch is set to a non-existing value; 2. the ReST table output when --feat is used without --arch has an invalid format, as the number of characters for the table delimiters are wrong. Those two bugs were fixed while testing the conversion. Additionally, another caveat was solved: the output when --feat is used without arch and the feature doesn't exist doesn't contain an empty table anymore.

2025-10-28docs: Move the "features" tools to tools/docsJonathan Corbet
The scripts for managing the features docs are found in three different directories; unite them all under tools/docs and update references as needed.

2025-09-15docs: kdoc: handle the obsolescensce of docutils.ErrorString()Jonathan Corbet
The ErrorString() and SafeString() docutils functions were helpers meant to ease the handling of encodings during the Python 3 transition. There is no real need for them after Python 3.6, and docutils 0.22 removes them, breaking the docs build Handle this by just injecting our own one-liner version of ErrorString(), and removing the sole SafeString() call entirely.

2025-02-13docs: extensions: don't use utf-8 syntax for descriptionsMauro Carvalho Chehab
None of the descriptions at the Sphinx extensions are using non-ascii characters, so no need to place them under u""" notation. Also, according with: https://docs.python.org/3/deprecations/pending-removal-in-3.16.html the 'u' format code is scheduled to be removed in Python 3.16. So, let's just use """.

2024-02-08docs: kernel_feat.py: fix build error for missing filesVegard Nossum
If the directory passed to the '.. kernel-feat::' directive does not exist or the get_feat.pl script does not find any files to extract features from, Sphinx will report the following error: Sphinx parallel build error: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'fname' referenced before assignment make[2]: *** [Documentation/Makefile:102: htmldocs] Error 2 This is due to how I changed the script in c48a7c44a1d0 ("docs: kernel_feat.py: fix potential command injection"). Before that, the filename passed along to self.nestedParse() in this case was weirdly just the whole get_feat.pl invocation. We can fix it by doing what kernel_abi.py does -- just pass self.arguments[0] as 'fname'.

2024-01-11docs: kernel_feat.py: fix potential command injectionVegard Nossum
The kernel-feat directive passes its argument straight to the shell. This is unfortunate and unnecessary. Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True). This also makes the code shorter. This is analogous to commit 3231dd586277 ("docs: kernel_abi.py: fix command injection") where we did exactly the same thing for kernel_abi.py, somehow I completely missed this one.

2023-09-12Documentation/sphinx: fix Python string escapesBenjamin Gray
Python 3.6 introduced a DeprecationWarning for invalid escape sequences. This is upgraded to a SyntaxWarning in Python 3.12, and will eventually be a syntax error. Fix these now to get ahead of it before it's an error.
