docs: kdoc_parser: move transform lists to a separate file Over the time, most of the changes at kernel-doc are related to maintaining a list of transforms to convert macros into pure C code. Place such transforms on a separate module, to cleanup the parser module. There is an advantage on that: QEMU also uses our own kernel-doc, but the xforms list there is different. By placing it on a separate module, we can minimize the differences and make it easier to keep QEMU in sync with Kernel upstream. No functional changes.

docs: kdoc: replace NestedMatch with CMatch Our previous approach to solve nested structs were to use NestedMatch. It works well, but adding support to parse delimiters is very complex. Instead, use CMatch, which uses a C tokenizer, making the code more reliable and simpler.

docs: kernel-doc: python: strip __counted_by_ptr macro The `__counted_by_ptr` macro was recently introduced [1] to extend bounds checking semantics to standard dynamically allocated pointers. However, the new Python implementation of kernel-doc does not currently recognize it as a compiler attribute. When kernel-doc encounters a struct member annotated with this macro, it fails to parse the variable name correctly, resulting in false-positive warnings like: Warning: ... struct member '__counted_by_ptr(cmdcnt' not described Add `__counted_by_ptr` to the `struct_xforms` regex list so it gets safely stripped out during the parsing phase, mirroring the existing behavior for `__counted_by`. Update the corresponding unit tests.

docs: xforms_lists: better evaluate struct_group macros The previous approach were to unwind nested structs/unions. Now that we have a logic that can handle it well, use it to ensure that struct_group macros will properly reflect the actual struct. Note that the replacemend logic still simplifies the code a little bit, as the basic build block for struct group is: union { \ struct { MEMBERS } ATTRS; \ struct __struct_group_tag(TAG) { MEMBERS } ATTRS NAME; \ } ATTRS There: - ATTRS is meant to add extra macro attributes like __packed which we already discard, as they aren't relevant to document struct members; - TAG is used only when built with __cplusplus. So, instead, convert them into just: struct { MEMBERS }; Please notice that here, we're using the greedy version of the backrefs, as MEMBERS is actually MEMBERS... on all such macros.

kdoc: xforms: move context attrs to function_xforms list The context analysis macros are function attributes that should be in the function_xforms list. Somewhere along the way they were inserted into the struct_xforms list instead. This causes docs build warnings to continue to be emitted for context macros. Move the context analysis macros to the function_xforms list where they should be to eliminate these warnings.

Place such transforms on a separate module, to cleanup the parser module. There is an advantage on that: QEMU also uses our own kernel-doc, but the xforms list there is different. By placing it on a separate module, we can minimize the differences and make it easier to keep QEMU in sync with Kernel upstream. No functional changes.

docs: kdoc_parser: avoid tokenizing structs everytime Most of the rules inside CTransforms are of the type CMatch. Don't re-parse the source code every time. Doing this doesn't change the output, but makes kdoc almost as fast as before the tokenizer patches: # Before tokenizer patches $ time ./scripts/kernel-doc . -man >original 2>&1 real 0m42.933s user 0m36.523s sys 0m1.145s # After tokenizer patches $ time ./scripts/kernel-doc . -man >before 2>&1 real 1m29.853s user 1m23.974s sys 0m1.237s # After this patch $ time ./scripts/kernel-doc . -man >after 2>&1 real 0m48.579s user 0m45.938s sys 0m0.988s $ diff -s before after Files before and after are identical Manually checked the differences between original and after with: $ diff -U0 -prBw original after|grep -v Warning|grep -v "@@"|less They're due: - whitespace fixes; - struct_group are now better handled; - several badly-generated man pages from broken inline kernel-doc markups are now fixed.
