Some documents are refering to others without links. With this
patch I add those missing links.
This patch affects only documents under process/ and labels where
necessary.

In the Function documentation Section of kernel-doc.rst
there is a function_name() function as an example for
how to make a comment about a function.
But at the end of that example there is a reference to foobar
instead of function_name.
I think that should rather be function_name, because that
was the placeholder the whole example was using.

When kernel-doc:: specified in .rst document without explicit directives,
it outputs both comment and DOC: sections. If a DOC: section was explicitly
included in the same document it will be duplicated. For example, the
output generated for Documentation/core-api/idr.rst [1] has "IDA
description" in the "IDA usage" section and in the middle of the API
reference.
This patch enables using "functions" directive without parameters to output
all the documentation excluding DOC: sections.

The description speaks about the option ``--man`` but it
does not exist. Instead, there is the option ``--usage``
$ ./Documentation/sphinx/parse-headers.pl --man
Unknown option: man
Usage:
parse_headers.pl [<options>] <C_FILE> <OUT_FILE> [<EXCEPTIONS_FILE>]
Where <options> can be: --debug, --help or --man.

From now on, I'll start using my @kernel.org as my development e-mail.
As such, let's remove the entries that point to the old
mchehab@s-opensource.com at MAINTAINERS file.
For the files written with a copyright with mchehab@s-opensource,
let's keep Samsung on their names, using mchehab+samsung@kernel.org,
in order to keep pointing to my employer, with sponsors the work.
For the files written before I join Samsung (on July, 4 2013),
let's just use mchehab@kernel.org.
For bug reports, we can simply point to just kernel.org, as
this will reach my mchehab+samsung inbox anyway.

There's a missing */ at the end of Kernel docs example.
Even adding it, it will still produce 3 warnings:
example:33: warning: Function parameter or member 'bar' not described in 'nested_foobar'
example:33: warning: Function parameter or member 'bar.st1' not described in 'nested_foobar'
example:33: warning: Function parameter or member 'bar.st2' not described in 'nested_foobar'
So, make the example more complete and add the missing end
of comment there.

I found the layout confusing with multiple introductions to what
kernel-doc is and how to use it.
I made the following changes:
- Moved the 'Including kernel-doc comments' section to the end of
the document -- we should explain what it *is* before we explain
how to integrate it.
- Moved the 'Recommendations' subsection to the top. We want people
to know what to document before telling them how to do it.
- Rewrite the 'Writing kernel-doc comments' section, integrating
the 'Recommendations' subsection and a paragraph from 'How to format
kernel-doc comments'.
- Remove the paragraph about the kernel-doc script; we're supposed to
be teaching people how to use punctuation to write pretty documentation,
not documenting the build tooling.
- Split the 'Parameters and member arguments' section into 'Function
parameters' and 'Members'. Structure members are not commonly
referred to as arguments.
- Integrate the 'private:' and 'public:' tag descriptions into the
'Members' section.
- Move the 'In-line member documentation comments' subsection up to be
with the 'Members' section.

This section is mentioned in scripts/kernel-doc, so we should mention it
in doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst. There are close to 500 comments using the
Context section already, and almost 300 using a Locking section which
fulfills much the same purpose (and should probably be converted for
consistency).

There are several places within the Kernel tree with nested
structs/unions, like this one:
struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
const char *name;
enum {
CGU_CLK_NONE = 0,
CGU_CLK_EXT = BIT(0),
CGU_CLK_PLL = BIT(1),
CGU_CLK_GATE = BIT(2),
CGU_CLK_MUX = BIT(3),
CGU_CLK_MUX_GLITCHFREE = BIT(4),
CGU_CLK_DIV = BIT(5),
CGU_CLK_FIXDIV = BIT(6),
CGU_CLK_CUSTOM = BIT(7),
} type;
int parents[4];
union {
struct ingenic_cgu_pll_info pll;
struct {
struct ingenic_cgu_gate_info gate;
struct ingenic_cgu_mux_info mux;
struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div;
struct ingenic_cgu_fixdiv_info fixdiv;
};
struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom;
};
};
Currently, such struct is documented as:
**Definition**
::
struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
const char * name;
};
**Members**
``name``
name of the clock
With is obvioulsy wrong. It also generates an error:
drivers/clk/ingenic/cgu.h:169: warning: No description found for parameter 'enum'
However, there's nothing wrong with this kernel-doc markup: everything
is documented there.
It makes sense to document all fields there. So, add a
way for the core to parse those structs.
With this patch, all documented fields will properly generate
documentation.

This patch brings scalable figure, image handling and a concept to
embed *render* markups:
* DOT (http://www.graphviz.org)
* SVG
For image handling use the 'image' replacement::
.. kernel-image:: svg_image.svg
:alt: simple SVG image
For figure handling use the 'figure' replacement::
.. kernel-figure:: svg_image.svg
:alt: simple SVG image
SVG image example
Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is
provided by the *render* directive.::
.. kernel-render:: DOT
:alt: foobar digraph
:caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.
digraph foo {
"bar" -> "baz";
}
The *render* directive is a concept to integrate *render* markups and
languages, yet supported markups:
* DOT: render embedded Graphviz's **DOT**
* SVG: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**)

approach to converting existing .txt files to .rst. Make sure this is

Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh.
So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum,
and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation.
This way, a quick help is still available at the command line,
while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format.
As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST
file.
