Better implement support for RHEL-based distros. While here,
get rid of a Fedora 28 support which cause troubles with

suppords dnf, and this is not the minimal version we may

When is_optional was added in Perl, it was a boolean. With
time, it ended becoming a sort of enum, which makes the
module harder to maintain.

Currently, if Python < 3.7, package install will fail. That happens
with OpenSuse Leap and RHEL-based ver 8 distros.
OpenSuse allows installing Sphinx with Python 3.11, but RHEL-based
distros don't.
Prepare to recomend only venv on such cases. For now, just split
the recomendation on a new function that will check for a
paramtere to be called.

It took me a lot of time, but I guess understand now what it
takes to install a package on Gentoo.
Handling dependencies is a nightmare, as Gentoo refuses to emerge
some packages if there's no package.use file describing them.
To make it worse, compilation flags shall also be present there
for some packages. If USE is not perfect, error/warning messages
like those are shown:
gnome-base/librsvg dev-texlive/texlive-xetex media-fonts/dejavu dev-python/pyyaml
...
!!! The following binary packages have been ignored due to non matching USE:
=media-gfx/graphviz-12.2.1-r1 X pdf -python_single_target_python3_13 qt6 svg
=media-gfx/graphviz-12.2.1-r1 X pdf python_single_target_python3_12 -python_single_target_python3_13 qt6 svg
=media-gfx/graphviz-12.2.1-r1 X pdf qt6 svg
=media-gfx/graphviz-12.2.1-r1 X pdf -python_single_target_python3_10 qt6 svg
=media-gfx/graphviz-12.2.1-r1 X pdf -python_single_target_python3_10 python_single_target_python3_12 -python_single_target_python3_13 qt6 svg
=media-fonts/noto-cjk-20190416 X
=app-text/texlive-core-2024-r1 X cjk -xetex
=app-text/texlive-core-2024-r1 X -xetex
=app-text/texlive-core-2024-r1 -xetex
=dev-libs/zziplib-0.13.79-r1 sdl
If emerge is allowed, it will simply ignore the above packages,
creating an incomplete installation, which will later fail when
one tries to build docs with images or build PDFs.
After the fix, command line commands to produce the needed USE
chain will be emitted, if they don't exist yet.
sudo su -c 'echo "media-gfx/graphviz" > /etc/portage/package.use/graphviz'
sudo su -c 'echo "media-gfx/imagemagick" > /etc/portage/package.use/imagemagick'
sudo su -c 'echo "media-libs/harfbuzz icu" > /etc/portage/package.use/media-libs'
sudo su -c 'echo "media-fonts/noto-cjk" > /etc/portage/package.use/media-fonts'

sudo su -c 'echo "dev-libs/zziplib sdl" > /etc/portage/package.use/zziblib'
The new logic tries to be smart enough to detect for missing files
and missing arguments. Yet, as Gentoo seems to require users to
manage those package.use files by hand, the logic isn't perfect:
users may still need to verify for conflicts on different use
files.

I forgot one f-string marker, with turned to be affecting 3
lines, because of cut-and-paste ;-)
Use the proper f-string marker to print Sphinx version at
the hint lines. Yet, we don't want to print as a tuple, so
call ver_str() for it.
Ideally, we would be placing it directly at the f-string, but
Python 3.6 f-string support was pretty much limited. Only
3.12 (PEP 701) makes it similar to Perl, allowing expressions
inside it. It sounds that function call itself was introduced
on 3.7.
As we explicitly want this one to run on 3.6, as latest Leap
comes with it, we can't use function calls on f-string.

On openSUSE Leap 15.6, which is the current LTS version, has two
Sphinx packages. The normal one requires Python 3.6, which we
don't support anymore. However, it also has Python 3.11 with a
newer Sphinx version (7.2.6).
Suggest the newer version:
Detected OS: openSUSE Leap 15.6.
ERROR: at least python 3.7 is required to build the kernel docs
Warning: python version is not supported.
Warning: better to also install "convert".
Warning: better to also install "dot".
ERROR: please install "yaml", otherwise, build won't work.
You should run:
sudo zypper install --no-recommends ImageMagick graphviz python311-pyyaml
Sphinx needs to be installed either:
1) via pip/pypi with:
Currently not possible.
Please upgrade Python to a newer version and run this script again
2) As a package with:
sudo zypper install --no-recommends python311-Sphinx
Please note that Sphinx >= 3.0 will currently produce false-positive
warning when the same name is used for more than one type (functions,
structs, enums,...). This is known Sphinx bug. For more details, see:

While we do need at least 3.6 for kernel-doc to work, and at least
3.7 for it to output functions and structs with parameters at the
right order, let the python binary be compatible with legacy
versions.
The rationale is that the Kernel build nowadays calls kernel-doc
with -none on some places. Better not to bail out when older
versions are found.
With that, potentially this will run with python 2.7 and 3.2+,
according with vermin:
$ vermin --no-tips -v ./scripts/kernel-doc
Detecting python files..
Analyzing using 24 processes..
2.7, 3.2 /new_devel/v4l/docs/scripts/kernel-doc
Minimum required versions: 2.7, 3.2
3.2 minimal requirement is due to argparse.
The minimal version I could check was version 3.4
(using anaconda). Anaconda doesn't support 3.2 or 3.3
anymore, and 3.2 doesn't even compile (I tested compiling
Python 3.2 on Fedora 42 and on Fedora 32 - no show).
With 3.4, the script didn't crash and emitted the right warning:
$ conda create -n py34 python=3.4
$ conda activate py34
python --version
Python 3.4.5
$ python ./scripts/kernel-doc --none include/media
Error: Python 3.6 or later is required by kernel-doc
$ conda deactivate
$ python --version
Python 3.13.5
$ python ./scripts/kernel-doc --none include/media
(no warnings and script ran properly)
Supporting 2.7 is out of scope, as it is EOL for 5 years, and
changing shebang to point to "python" instead of "python3"
would have a wider impact.
I did some extra checks about the differences from 3.2 and
3.4, and didn't find anything that would cause troubles:
grep -rE "yield from|asyncio|pathlib|async|await|enum" scripts/kernel-doc
Also, it doesn't use "@" operator. So, I'm confident that it
should run (producing the exit warning) since Python 3.2.

In my ongoing effort to truly understand our new kernel-doc, I continue to
make changes to improve the code, and to try to make the understanding task
easier for the next person. These patches focus on dump_struct() in
particular, which starts out at nearly 300 lines long - to much to fit into

"Significant patch series in this pull request:
- "squashfs: Remove page->mapping references" (Matthew Wilcox) gets
us closer to being able to remove page->mapping
- "relayfs: misc changes" (Jason Xing) does some maintenance and
minor feature addition work in relayfs
- "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA" (Jiri Bohac) switches
us from static preallocation of the kdump crashkernel's working
memory over to dynamic allocation. So the difficulty of a-priori
estimation of the second kernel's needs is removed and the first
kernel obtains extra memory

...
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and 'ref_as_ptr'.
These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator, which
are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less powerful
and thus should help to avoid mistakes.
- Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
plural one in the previous cycle.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
kernel parameters:
warn_on!(value == 42);
To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is followed
as for the static branch code in order to share the assembly between
both C and Rust. This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers
-- the existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus
no functional change expected there.
- 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a 'DelayedWork'
struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an 'enqueue_delayed'
method, e.g.:
/// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
/// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
fn print_later(value: Arc<MyStruct>) {
let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
}
- New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:
static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));
assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());
- 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which reads
NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'.
Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C, to
minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing them
up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add it to
the prelude, too.
- Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and some
other cleanups.
Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances.
- 'dma' module:
- Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature.
- Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'.
- Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'.
- Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add the
corresponding type invariants.
- Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'.
- 'time' module:
- Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the compiler
to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the 'Instant' use
'Instants' based on the same clock source.
- Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers take a
'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time, depending
on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can check the
type matches the timer mode.
- Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending on
the requested sleep time.
- Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
timestamps.
- Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types.
- Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'.
- 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove pointer
arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes 'impl_has_list_links!' or
'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other simplifications too.
- 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
require 'into_foreign' to return non-null.
Remove the 'Either<L, R>' type as well. It is unused, and we want to
encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases.
- 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
to allow them to be used in generic APIs.
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'.
- 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it.
- 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method.
- 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which we
want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment in
'static_lock_class'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'impl<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', so results are now
(pin-)initializers.
- Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'.
- New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'.
- Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for '"Rust"'
and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments.
- Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl<T, E>
[Pin]Init<T, E> for T' to 'impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> for T'.
- Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'.
- Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
'--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two '-next'
branches in upstream and the kernel.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Vlastimil Babka, Liam R. Howlett, Uladzislau Rezki and Lorenzo
Stoakes as reviewers (thanks everyone).
And a few other cleanups and improvements.

"mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.
"mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.
"use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
types.
"mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
code.
"mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.
"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.
"madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.
"madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.
"Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
on/offline notifier.
"Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
"selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.
"Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.
"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.
"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.
"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.
"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.
"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.
"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.
"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!
"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.
"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"
