61d221b735 docs: Fix "make help" suggestion for SPHINXDIR
Commit 9fc3a18a94 ("docs: remove extra conf.py files") broke the setting
of _SPHINXDIRS in Documentation/Makefile.  Let's just have it look for an
index.rst file instead.

29efbb24d9 docs: Use make invocation's -j argument for parallelism
While sphinx 1.7 and later supports "-jauto" for parallelism, this
effectively ignores the "-j" flag used in the "make" invocation, which
may cause confusion for build systems. Instead, extract the available
parallelism from "make"'s job server (since it is not exposed in any
special variables) and use that for the "sphinx-build" run. Now things
work correctly for builds where -j is specified at the top-level:

	make -j16 htmldocs

If -j is not specified, continue to fallback to "-jauto" if available.

6c01edd395 docs: look for sphinx-pre-install in the source tree
Recent makefile changes included an invocation of
./scripts/sphinx-pre-install.  Unfortunately, that fails when a separate
build directory is in use with:

  /bin/bash: ./scripts/sphinx-pre-install: No such file or directory

Use $(srctree) to fully specify the location of this script.

cf08508d21 docs: by default, build docs a lot faster with Sphinx >= 1.7
Since Sphinx version 1.7, it is possible to use "-jauto" in
order to speedup documentation builds. On older versions,
while -j was already supported, one would need to set the
number of threads manually.

So, if SPHINXOPTS is not provided, add -jauto, in order to
speed up the build. That makes it *a lot* times faster than
without -j.

If one really wants to slow things down, it can just use:

	make SPHINXOPTS=-j1 htmldocs

9b88ad5464 scripts/sphinx-pre-install: always check if version is compatible with build
Call the script every time a make docs target is selected, on
a simplified check mode.

With this change, the script will set two vars:

$min_version - obtained from `needs_sphinx` var inside
	       conf.py (currently, '1.3')

$rec_version - obtained from sphinx/requirements.txt.

With those changes, a target like "make htmldocs" will do:

1) If no sphinx-build/sphinx-build3 is found, it will run
   the script on normal mode as before, checking for all
   system dependencies and providing install hints for the
   needed programs and will abort the build;

2) If no sphinx-build/sphinx-build3 is found, but there is
   a sphinx_${VER}/bin/activate file, and if
   ${VER} >= $min_version (string comparation), it will
   run in full mode, and will recommend to activate the
   virtualenv. If there are multiple virtualenvs, it
   will string sort the versions, recommending the
   highest version and will abort the build;

3) If Sphinx is detected but has a version lower than
   $min_version, it will run in full mode - with will
   recommend creating a virtual env using sphinx/requirements.txt,
   and will abort the build.

4) If Sphinx is detected and version is lower than
   $rec_version, it will run in full mode and will
   recommend creating a virtual env using sphinx/requirements.txt.

   In this case, it **won't** abort the build.

5) If Sphinx is detected and version is equal or righer than
   $rec_version it will return just after detecting the
   version ("quick mode"), not checking if are there any
   missing dependencies.

Just like before, if one wants to install Sphinx from the
distro, it has to call the script manually and use `--no-virtualenv`
argument to get the hints for his OS:

    You should run:

	sudo dnf install -y python3-sphinx python3-sphinx_rtd_theme

While here, add a small help for the three optional arguments
for the script.

28f7c99425 docs: Makefile: use latexmk if available
In the past, Sphinx was generating a LaTex Makefile that would
run xelatex 3 times. Running it multiple times is needed in order
to make the indexes right.

However, newer versions of it runs it just once, as it expects
the machine to use the "latexmk" build, with automatically
detects the need for rebuilds.

So, add a logic at the Makefile in order to detect if latexmk
is installed. If so, it will call it.

As an additional bonus, the output of latexmk is a little bit
better, making easier to identify build problems.

4f0e3a57d6 kbuild: Add support for DT binding schema checks
This adds the build infrastructure for checking DT binding schema
documents and validating dts files using the binding schema.

Check DT binding schema documents:
make dt_binding_check

Build dts files and check using DT binding schema:
make dtbs_check

Optionally, DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be passed in with a schema file(s) to
use for validation. This makes it easier to find and fix errors
generated by a specific schema.

Currently, the validation targets are separate from a normal build to
avoid a hard dependency on the external DT schema project and because
there are lots of warnings generated.

e8939222dc Documentation: add script and build target to check for broken file references
Add a simple script and build target to do a treewide grep for
references to files under Documentation, and report the non-existing
file in stderr. It tries to take into account punctuation not part of
the filename, and wildcards, but there are bound to be false positives
too. Mostly seems accurate though.

We've moved files around enough to make having this worthwhile.

Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this.  They all need firstly
setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs.
So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the
three test programs and check the return value of them.

a. add run_vmtests script
b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes.

to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible.

Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
they should be removed.

3794f3e812 docsrc: build Documentation/ sources
Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them.  This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.

Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources.  Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.
