	The setup() function of a Sphinx-extension can return a dictionary. This is treated by Sphinx as metadata of the extension [1]. With metadata "parallel_read_safe = True" a extension is marked as save for "parallel reading of source". This is needed if you want build in parallel with N processes. E.g.: make SPHINXOPTS=-j4 htmldocs will no longer log warnings like: WARNING: the foobar extension does not declare if it is safe for parallel reading, assuming it isn't - please ask the extension author to check and make it explicit. Add metadata to extensions: * kernel-doc * flat-table * kernel-include [1] http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/extdev/#extension-metadata Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> Tested-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-07-08	doc-rst: add kernel-include directive	Markus Heiser
	The kernel-include directive is needed to include the auto generated rst content from a build (pre-) process. E.g. the linux_tv Makefile generates intermediate reST-files from header files. Since there is a O= option: make O=dir [targets] Locate all output files in "dir" We need to include intermediate reST files from arbitrary (O=/tmp/foo) locations: The 'kernel-include' reST-directive is a replacement for the 'include' directive. The 'kernel-include' directive expand environment variables in the path name and allows to include files from arbitrary locations. .. hint:: Including files from arbitrary locations (e.g. from '/etc') is a security risk for builders. This is why the 'include' directive from docutils prohibit pathnames pointing to locations above the filesystem tree where the reST document with the include directive is placed. Substrings of the form $name or ${name} are replaced by the value of environment variable name. Malformed variable names and references to non-existing variables are left unchanged.
