the literal block using the alternate ``FOO`` syntax.
docs: Makefile: place final pdf docs on a separate dir
The Sphinx build system for PDF is too complex and generate
lots of ancillary files, including one PDF file for each
image.
So, at the end, the main latex dir has 156 pdf files, instead
of the 71 ones that would match each generated book. That's
confusing and it makes harder to identify when something didn't
work.
So, instead, let's move the final PDF output(s) to a separate
dir. This way, the latex/ dir will have the temporary and the
final *.tex files, while the final pdf files that built ok
will be under the pdf/ directory.
When generating the PDF output, the Documentation/i2c dir
will generate an i2c.pdf. The same happens with i2c.svg:
it will also produce a file with the same name, at the same dir.
This causes errors when building the PDF output. So, rename the
image to i2c_bus.svg.
docs: mm: userfaultfd.rst: use a cross-reference for a section
Instead of using "foo", let's use `foo`_, with is a ReST way of

building the docs, an hyperlink is generated.
docs: mm: userfaultfd.rst: use ``foo`` for literals
Several parts of this document define literals: ioctl names,
function calls, directory patches, etc. Mark those as literal
blocks, in order to improve its readability (both at text mode
and after parsed by Sphinx.
This fixes those two warnings:

mapped into csrows.

split Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/sunxi/sun4i-drm.txt
into several files. Yet, it kept the old place at MAINTAINERS.
The building system can auto-generate a list of documents since
commit: 9d42afbe6bd4 ("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.
There are some docs that have nested tables. While this was
always part of the spec, only Sphinx version 2.4.x can
translate it to LaTeX.
In other words, if someone is using a Sphinx version < 2.4,
the LaTeX and PDF output won't work for some of the docs.
So, it seems that it is time to raise the bar again
for the recommented version.
The Sphinx check script is already smart enough to keep
working, with older versions, warning the users that
an upgrade is recommended (and explaining how):
Sphinx version 1.7.9

scripts: kernel-doc: accept blank lines on parameter description
Sphinx is very pedantic with respect to blank lines. Sometimes,
in order to make it to properly handle something, we need to
add a blank line. However, currently, any blank line inside a
kernel-doc comment like:
/*
* @foo: bar
*
* foobar
*
* some description
will be considered as if "foobar" was part of the description.
This patch changes kernel-doc behavior. After it, foobar will
be considered as part of the parameter text. The description
will only be considered as such if it starts with:
The pattern @foo->bar() is valid, as it can be used by a
function pointer inside a struct passed as a parameter.
Right now, it causes a warning:
./drivers/firewire/core-transaction.c:606: WARNING: Inline strong start-string without end-string.
In this specific case, the kernel-doc markup is:
/**
* fw_core_remove_address_handler() - unregister an address handler
* @handler: callback
*
* To be called in process context.
*
* When fw_core_remove_address_handler() returns, @handler->callback() is
* guaranteed to not run on any CPU anymore.
*/
With seems valid on my eyes. So, instead of trying to hack
the kernel-doc markup, let's teach it about how to handle
such things. This should likely remove lots of other similar
warnings as well.
scripts: sphinx-pre-install: add support for python -m venv
Since python 3.3, the recommended way to setup a virtual env is
via "python -m venv".
Set this as a default, if python version is compatible with
such feature.
While here, add more comments to it, as the script is
getting more complex. So, better to add more things, to avoid
accidentally breaking it while improving it.
scripts: sphinx-pre-install: add support for OpenMandriva
It seems that Mageia and OpenMandriva will reunite on a single
distribution. In any case, both came from Mandriva. So, it is
close enough to use the same logic.
scripts: sphinx-pre-install: address some issues with Gentoo
There are some small misdetections with Gentoo. While they
don't cause too much trouble, it keeps recomending to
install things that are already there.
The Arch-linux detection is hit by catting /etc/issue, whose
contents is (nowadays):
Arch Linux \r (\l)
It sounds a little ackward to print such string, so,
instead, let's use the /etc/os-release file, with exists
on lots of distributions and should provide a more reliable
result.
We'll keep the old tests before it, in order to avoid possible
regressions with the other distros, although the new way should
probably work on all the currently supported distributions.

fs/seq_file.c: seq_read(): add info message about buggy .next functions
Patch series "seq_file .next functions should increase position index".
In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c:
simplify seq_file iteration code and interface")
"Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL...
Note that such ->next functions are buggy and should be fixed. A simple
demonstration is dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1 Choose any block size
larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will always show the whole
last line of /proc/swaps"
Described problem is still actual. If you make lseek into middle of
last output line following read will output end of last line and whole
last line once again.
$ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1 # usual output

There are lot of other affected files, I've found 30+ including
/proc/net/ip_tables_matches and /proc/sysvipc/*
I've sent patches into maillists of affected subsystems already, this
patch-set fixes the problem in files related to pstore, tracing, gcov,
sysvipc and other subsystems processed via linux-kernel@ mailing list
