Since Sphinx 3.0, the C domain code was rewritten, but only after version 3.1 it got support for setting namespaces on C domains, with is something that it is required, in order to document system calls, like ioctl() and others. As part of changing the documentation subsystem to properly build with Sphinx 3.1+, add support for such new tag: .. c:namespace::" Such tag optionally replaces the optional "name" tag for functions, setting a single namespace domain for all C references found at the file. With that, it should be possible to convert existing documentation to be compatible with both Sphinx 1.x/2.x and 3.1+. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
