Merge tag 'docs-5.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a moderately busy cycle for documentation; some of the
  highlights are:

   - Numerous PDF-generation improvements

   - Kees's new document with guidelines for researchers studying the
     development community.

   - The ongoing stream of Chinese translations

   - Thorsten's new document on regression handling

   - A major reworking of the internal documentation for the kernel-doc
     script.

  Plus the usual stream of typo fixes and such"

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
 
 Read C language source or header FILEs, extract embedded documentation comments,
 and print formatted documentation to standard output.
 
-The documentation comments are identified by "/**" opening comment mark. See
-Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst for the documentation comment syntax.
-
-Output format selection (mutually exclusive):
-  -man			Output troff manual page format. This is the default.
-  -rst			Output reStructuredText format.
-  -none			Do not output documentation, only warnings.
-
-Output format selection modifier (affects only ReST output):
-
-  -sphinx-version	Use the ReST C domain dialect compatible with an
-			specific Sphinx Version.
-			If not specified, kernel-doc will auto-detect using
-			the sphinx-build version found on PATH.
-
-Output selection (mutually exclusive):
-  -export		Only output documentation for symbols that have been
-			exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL() or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
-                        in any input FILE or -export-file FILE.
-  -internal		Only output documentation for symbols that have NOT been
-			exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL() or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
-                        in any input FILE or -export-file FILE.
-  -function NAME	Only output documentation for the given function(s)
-			or DOC: section title(s). All other functions and DOC:
-			sections are ignored. May be specified multiple times.
-  -nosymbol NAME	Exclude the specified symbols from the output
-		        documentation. May be specified multiple times.
-
-Output selection modifiers:
-  -no-doc-sections	Do not output DOC: sections.
-  -enable-lineno        Enable output of #define LINENO lines. Only works with
-                        reStructuredText format.
-  -export-file FILE     Specify an additional FILE in which to look for
-                        EXPORT_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). To be used with
-                        -export or -internal. May be specified multiple times.
-
-Other parameters:
-  -v			Verbose output, more warnings and other information.
-  -h			Print this help.
-  -Werror		Treat warnings as errors.
-

-    print $message;
-    exit 1;

+The documentation comments are identified by the "/**" opening comment mark.
 
-#
-# format of comments.
-# In the following table, (...)? signifies optional structure.
-#                         (...)* signifies 0 or more structure elements
-# /**
-#  * function_name(:)? (- short description)?
-# (* @parameterx: (description of parameter x)?)*
-# (* a blank line)?
-#  * (Description:)? (Description of function)?
-#  * (section header: (section description)? )*
-#  (*)?*/
-#
-# So .. the trivial example would be:
-#
-# /**
-#  * my_function
-#  */
-#
-# If the Description: header tag is omitted, then there must be a blank line
-# after the last parameter specification.
-# e.g.
-# /**
-#  * my_function - does my stuff
-#  * @my_arg: its mine damnit
-#  *
-#  * Does my stuff explained.
-#  */
-#
-#  or, could also use:
-# /**
-#  * my_function - does my stuff
-#  * @my_arg: its mine damnit
-#  * Description: Does my stuff explained.
-#  */
-# etc.
-#
-# Besides functions you can also write documentation for structs, unions,
-# enums and typedefs. Instead of the function name you must write the name
-# of the declaration;  the struct/union/enum/typedef must always precede
-# the name. Nesting of declarations is not supported.
-# Use the argument mechanism to document members or constants.
-# e.g.
-# /**
-#  * struct my_struct - short description
-#  * @a: first member
-#  * @b: second member
-#  *
-#  * Longer description
-#  */
-# struct my_struct {
-#     int a;
-#     int b;
-# /* private: */
-#     int c;
-# };
-#
-# All descriptions can be multiline, except the short function description.
-#
-# For really longs structs, you can also describe arguments inside the
-# body of the struct.
-# eg.
-# /**
-#  * struct my_struct - short description
-#  * @a: first member
-#  * @b: second member
-#  *
-#  * Longer description
-#  */
-# struct my_struct {
-#     int a;
-#     int b;
-#     /**
-#      * @c: This is longer description of C
-#      *
-#      * You can use paragraphs to describe arguments
-#      * using this method.
-#      */
-#     int c;
-# };
-#
-# This should be use only for struct/enum members.
-#
-# You can also add additional sections. When documenting kernel functions you
-# should document the "Context:" of the function, e.g. whether the functions
-# can be called form interrupts. Unlike other sections you can end it with an
-# empty line.
-# A non-void function should have a "Return:" section describing the return
-# value(s).
-# Example-sections should contain the string EXAMPLE so that they are marked
-# appropriately in DocBook.
-#
-# Example:
-# /**
-#  * user_function - function that can only be called in user context
-#  * @a: some argument
-#  * Context: !in_interrupt()
-#  *
-#  * Some description
-#  * Example:
-#  *    user_function(22);
-#  */
-# ...
-#
-#
-# All descriptive text is further processed, scanning for the following special
-# patterns, which are highlighted appropriately.
-#
-# 'funcname()' - function
-# '$ENVVAR' - environmental variable
-# '&struct_name' - name of a structure (up to two words including 'struct')
-# '&struct_name.member' - name of a structure member
-# '@parameter' - name of a parameter
-# '%CONST' - name of a constant.
-# '``LITERAL``' - literal string without any spaces on it.
+See Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst for the documentation comment syntax.
