Currently, when kernel-doc encounters a macro with a named variable
argument[1], such as this:
#define hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(pos, head, member, cond...)
... it expects the variable argument to be documented as `cond...`,
rather than `cond`. This is semantically wrong, because the name (as
used in the macro body) is actually `cond`.
With this patch, kernel-doc will accept the name without dots (`cond`
in the example above) in doc comments, and warn if the name with dots
(`cond...`) is used and verbose mode[2] is enabled.
The support for the `cond...` syntax can be removed later, when the
documentation of all such macros has been switched to the new syntax.
Testing this patch on top of v5.4-rc6, `make htmldocs` shows a few
changes in log output and HTML output:
1) The following warnings[3] are eliminated:
./include/linux/rculist.h:374: warning:
Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'list_for_each_entry_rcu'
./include/linux/rculist.h:651: warning:
Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'hlist_for_each_entry_rcu'
2) For list_for_each_entry_rcu and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, the
correct description is shown
3) Named variable arguments are shown without dots

Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for
output. `____cacheline_aligned_in_smp` is an attribute that is
not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.

The current regular expression for strip attributes of structs (and
for nested ones as well) also removes all whitespaces that may
surround the attribute. After that, the code will split structs and
iterate for each symbol separated by comma at the end of struct
definition (e.g. "} alias1, alias2;"). However, if the nested struct
does not have any alias and has an attribute, it will result in a
empty string at the closing bracket (e.g "};"). This will make the
split return nothing and $newmember will keep uninitialized. Fix
that, by ensuring that the attribute substitution will leave at least
one whitespace.

The kerneldoc script currently emits Sphinx markup for a macro with
arguments that uses the c:function directive. This is correct for
Sphinx versions earlier than Sphinx 3, where c:macro doesn't allow
documentation of macros with arguments and c:function is not picky
about the syntax of what it is passed. However, in Sphinx 3 the
c:macro directive was enhanced to support macros with arguments,
and c:function was made more picky about what syntax it accepted.
When kerneldoc is told that it needs to produce output for Sphinx
3 or later, make it emit c:function only for functions and c:macro
for macros with arguments. We assume that anything with a return
type is a function and anything without is a macro.
This fixes the Sphinx error:

The $decl_type='type name' hack makes it impossible to document
macros with uppercase names (e.g. most of the macros in
object.h).
Now that we have explicitly tagged the struct and typedef doc
comments in memory.h and object.h, we don't need that hack
anymore. This will make the documentation for the macros in
object.h finally be rendered as expected.

clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)
Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.
This patch was generated using:
$ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \
sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers
$ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do
sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \
$(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>")
done
I manually fixed line-wrap issues and misaligned rST tables.

The kernel-doc Sphinx plugin and associated script currently emit
'c:type' directives for "struct foo" documentation.
Sphinx 3.0 warns about this:

because it wants us to use the new-in-3.0 'c:struct' instead.
Plumb the Sphinx version through to the kernel-doc script
and use it to select 'c:struct' for newer versions than 3.0.

When kernel-doc generates a 'c:function' directive for a function
one of whose arguments is a function pointer, it fails to print
the close-paren after the argument list of the function pointer
argument, for instance in the memory API documentation:
.. c:function:: void memory_region_init_resizeable_ram (MemoryRegion * mr, struct Object * owner, const char * name, uint64_t size, uint64_t max_size, void (*resized) (const char*, uint64_t length, void *host, Error ** errp)
which should have a ')' after the 'void *host' which is the
last argument to 'resized'.
Older versions of Sphinx don't try to parse the argumnet
to c:function, but Sphinx 3.0 does do this and will complain:
/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/docs/../include/exec/memory.h:834: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expecting "," or ")" in parameters, got "EOF". [error at 208]

Surprisingly, QEMU does have a pretty consistent doc comment style and
it is not very different from the Linux kernel's. Of the documentation
"sigils", only "#" separates the QEMU doc comment style from Linux's,
and it has 200+ instances vs. 6 for the kernel's '&struct foo' (all in
accel/tcg/translate-all.c), so it's clear that the two standards are
different in this respect. In addition, our structs are typedefed and
recognized by CamelCase names.
Adjust kernel-doc's parser for these two aspects of the QEMU coding
standards. The patch has been valid, with hardly any change, for over
two years, so it should not be an issue to keep kernel-doc in sync with
the Linux copy.

Import Linux's kernel-doc script as of commit 15e2544ed38a1e, as well
as the Sphinx extension to call kernel-doc according to the arguments
and parameters given to a reStructuredText directive.
The kernel-doc extension accepts a filename, which is relative to
the QEMU source tree root. The extension also notifies Sphinx about the
document dependency on the file, causing the document to be rebuilt when
the file has been changed.
