When the user explicitly specifies SPHINXDIRS to build a specific

docs: kdoc: remove support for an external kernel-doc from sphinx
The ability to build the docs with an external kernel-doc program involves
some truly confusing logic and complicates the task of moving kernel-doc
out of scripts/. But this feature is not useful for normal documentation
builds, and the external kernel-doc can always be run by hand when it needs
debugging. So just remove that feature and make life easier.
There is still a bunch of logic to build a command line that we never use;
the idea is to be able to output it, but I'm not sure if that is worth
keeping.
There are some typos and English errors in the comments of kernel‑doc.py.
Locate them with the help of an LLM (gpt‑oss 14B), executed locally
with this prompt:
review English grammar and syntax at the comments on the code below:
<cat scripts/kernel-doc.py>
While LLM worked fine for the task of doing an English grammar review
for strings, being able to distinguish them from the actual code, it
was not is perfect: some things required manual work to fix.

While here, replace:
"/**" with: ``/**``
As, if we ever rename this script to kernel_doc.py and add it to
Sphinx ext autodoc, we want to avoid this warning:
scripts/kernel_doc.py:docstring of kernel_doc:10: WARNING: Inline strong start-string without end-string. [docutils]
Changeset 469c1c9eb6c9 ("kernel-doc: Issue warnings that were silently discarded")
didn't properly addressed the missing messages behavior, as
it was calling directly python logger low-level function,
instead of using the expected method to emit warnings.
Basically, there are two methods to log messages:
- self.config.log.warning() - This is the raw level to emit a
warning. It just writes the a message at stderr, via python
logging, as it is initialized as:
self.config.log = logging.getLogger("kernel-doc")
- self.config.warning() - This is where we actually consider a
message as a warning, properly incrementing error count.
Due to that, several parsing error messages are internally considered
as success, causing -Werror to not work on such messages.
While here, ensure that the last ignored entry will also be handled
by adding an extra check at the end of the parse handler.

While it is true that the driver-core keeps track of all the devices

In fact, it is even misleading, since it could be read as if it were
valid for driver implementations to keep track of all the devices bound
to it.
Instead, drivers operate on a per-device basis, with a separate
per-device instance created when the driver is bound to a device.
Hence, remove the mention of a driver's list of devices and instead add

tools: jobserver: Prevent deadlock caused by incorrect jobserver configuration and enhance error reporting
When using GNU Make's jobserver feature in kernel builds, a bug in MAKEFLAGS
propagation caused "--jobserver-auth=r,w" to reference an unintended file
descriptor. This led to infinite loops in jobserver-exec's os.read() calls
due to empty token.
My shell opened /etc/passwd for some reason without closing it, and as a
result, all child processes inherited this fd 3.
$ ls -l /proc/self/fd
total 0
lrwx------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 0 -> /dev/pts/1
lrwx------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 1 -> /dev/pts/1

lr-x------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 3 -> /etc/passwd
lr-x------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 4 -> /proc/1421383/fd
In this case, the `make` should open a new file descriptor for jobserver
control, but clearly, it did not do so and instead still passed fd 3 as
"--jobserver-auth=3,4" in MAKEFLAGS. (The version of my gnu make is 4.3)
This update ensures robustness against invalid jobserver configurations,
even when `make` incorrectly pass non-pipe file descriptors.
* Rejecting empty reads to prevent infinite loops on EOF.
* Clearing `self.jobs` to avoid writing to incorrect files if invalid tokens
are detected.
* Printing detailed error messages to stderr to inform the user.

docs: admin: devices: /dev/sr<N> for SCSI CD-ROM
Don't claim that /dev/sr<N> device names for SCSI CD-ROM drives are
deprecated and don't recommend /dev/scd<N> alternate names for them.
/dev/scd<N> device names for SCSI CD-ROM drives are not in use for more
than a decade, see commit [1] that was a part of udev release 174.
Earlier, related rules were volatile, sometimes /dev/scd<N> were syminks
to /dev/sr<N>, sometimes vice versa.
Recognizing of root=/dev/scd<N> kernel command line argument was removed
in kernel 2.5.45 [2].
In the docs /dev/scd<N> became recommended names in 2.6.9 [3].
Mention of these names appeared much earlier in 1.3.22 [4].

As suggested and discussed with Randy, this small series add support
for documenting variables using kernel-doc.
- patch 1: add support for the new feature;
- patch 2: extends to support DEFINE_*;
- patch 3: document two media vars;
- patch 4: fix an issue on kernel-doc.rst markups and automarkup;
- patch 5: document it;
- patch 6: better handle DEFINE_ macros when they don't have static/type;
Since version 5, I'm using "c:macro" to describe variables, as it
avoids Sphinx C domain to try parse the variable. This makes it more
flexible and easier to maintain in long term.
kernel-doc: add support for handling global variables
Specially on kAPI, sometimes it is desirable to be able to
describe global variables that are part of kAPI.
Documenting vars with Sphinx is simple, as we don't need
to parse a data struct. All we need is the variable
declaration and use native C domain ::c:var: to format it
for us.

scripts: coccicheck: filter *.cocci files by MODE
Enhance the coccicheck script to filter *.cocci files based on the
specified MODE (e.g., report, patch). This ensures that only compatible
semantic patch files are executed, preventing errors such as:
"virtual rule report not supported"
This error occurs when a .cocci file does not define a 'virtual <MODE>'
rule, yet is executed in that mode.
For example:
make coccicheck M=drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ MODE=report
In this case, running "secs_to_jiffies.cocci" would trigger the error
because it lacks support for 'report' mode. With this change, such files
are skipped automatically, improving robustness and developer
experience.
