Kernel sphinx has learned how to do that in commit d74b0d31dddeac2b44c715588d53d9a1e5b1158e Author: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Date: Thu Apr 25 07:55:07 2019 -0600 Docs: An initial automarkup extension for sphinx Unfortunately it hasn't learned that yet for structures, so we're stuck with the :c:type: noise for now still.

Now that component has docs it's worth spending a few words and hyperlinks on recommended best practices in drm. v2: Add another item that component shouldn't be preferred over drm_bridge/panel and similar subsystems already providing specialized support for specific components (Laurent).

2017-06-20drm/doc: Improve ioctl/fops docs a bit moreDaniel Vetter
I spotted a markup issue, plus adding the descriptions in drm_driver. Plus a few more links while at it. I'm still mildly unhappy with the split between fops and ioctls, but I still think having the ioctls in the uapi chapter makes more sense.

2017-06-14drm: introduce sync objects (v4)Dave Airlie
Sync objects are new toplevel drm object, that contain a pointer to a fence. This fence can be updated via command submission ioctls via drivers. There is also a generic wait obj API modelled on the vulkan wait API (with code modelled on some amdgpu code). These objects can be converted to an opaque fd that can be passes between processes. v2: rename reference/unreference to put/get (Chris) fix leaked reference (David Zhou) drop mutex in favour of cmpxchg (Chris) v3: cleanups from danvet, rebase on drm_fops rename check fd_flags is 0 in ioctls. v4: export find/free, change replace fence to take a syncobj. In order to support lookup first, replace later semantics which seem in the end to be cleaner.

2017-04-04drm: document drm_ioctl.[hc]Daniel Vetter
Also unify/merge with the existing stuff. I was a bit torn where to put this, but in the end I decided to put all the ioctl/sysfs/debugfs stuff into drm-uapi.rst. That means we have a bit a split with the other uapi related stuff used internally, like drm_file.[hc], but I think overall this makes more sense. If it's too confusing we can always add more cross-links to make it more discoverable. But the auto-sprinkling of links kernel-doc already does seems sufficient. Also for prettier docs and more cross-links, switch the internal defines over to an enum, as usual. v2: Update kerneldoc fro drm_compat_ioctl too (caught by 0day), plus a bit more drive-by polish. v3: Fix typo, spotted by xerpi on irc (Sergi). v4: Add missing space in comment (Neil).

2017-03-14drm/doc: Consistent kerneldoc include orderDaniel Vetter
First overview text (if there is any), then headers (since generally you want to start out with the data structures), then all the other stuff with functions. Most of this is pre-shpinx, since with the old docbook only the overview stuff was pulled in directly. Everything else was put in a per-section index, so include order didn't really matter.

2017-03-14drm/doc: Document drm_file.[hc]Daniel Vetter
Well, mostly drm_file.h, and clean up all related things: - I didnt' figure out the difference between preclose and postclose. The existing explanation in drm-internals.rst didn't convince me, since it's also really outdated - we clean up pending DRM events in the core nowadays. I put a FIXME in for the future. - Another FIXME is to have a macro for default fops. - Lots of links all around, main areas are to tie the overview in drm_file.c more into the callbacks in struct drm_device, and the other is to link render/primary node code to the right sections in drm-uapi.rst. - Also moved the open/close stuff to drm_drv.h from drm-internals.rst, seems like the better place for that information. Since that section was rather outdated this amounted to full-on rewrite. A big missing piece here is some overview graph, but I think better to wait with that one until drm_device and drm_driver are also fully documented. v2: Nits from Sean.

2016-06-21Documentation/gpu: convert the KMS properties table to CSVJani Nikula
Pandoc really did a bad job of converting the big KMS properties table to RST. Instead, put the properties into a separate plain text CSV file, and include it in the RST file. The generated output isn't very pretty, but at least the information is there, and it's stored in a format that's easier to process and improve upon at a later time. The CSV file was generated by copy-pasting the table from the HTML generated by the DocBook toolchain into LibreOffice Calc, and then saved as CSV, unmodified.

2016-06-21Documentation/gpu: use recommended order of heading markersJani Nikula
While splitting the document up, the headings "shifted" from what pandoc generated. Use the following order for headings for consistency: ============== Document title ============== First ===== Second ------ Third ~~~~~ Leave the lower level headings as they are; I think those are less important. Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than imposing a fixed number and order of section title adornment styles, the order enforced will be the order as encountered."), having the higher levels the same overall makes it easier to follow the documents. [I'm sort of kind of writing the recommendation for docs-next in the mean time, but this order seems sensible, and is what I'm proposing.] Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/126f42734defac6cbb8496a481d58db7b38461dd.1466506505.git.jani.nikula@intel.com
