docs-rst: doc-guide: split the kernel-documentation.rst contents

Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't
allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder
to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir.

+DocBook XML [DEPRECATED]
+========================
+
+.. attention::
+
+   This section describes the deprecated DocBook XML toolchain. Please do not
+   create new DocBook XML template files. Please consider converting existing
+   DocBook XML templates files to Sphinx/reStructuredText.
+
+Converting DocBook to Sphinx
+----------------------------
+
+Over time, we expect all of the documents under ``Documentation/DocBook`` to be
+converted to Sphinx and reStructuredText. For most DocBook XML documents, a good
+enough solution is to use the simple ``Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt`` script,
+which uses ``pandoc`` under the hood. For example::
+
+  $ cd Documentation/sphinx
+  $ ./tmplcvt ../DocBook/in.tmpl ../out.rst
+
+Then edit the resulting rst files to fix any remaining issues, and add the
+document in the ``toctree`` in ``Documentation/index.rst``.
+
+Components of the kernel-doc system
+-----------------------------------
+
+Many places in the source tree have extractable documentation in the form of
+block comments above functions. The components of this system are:
+
+- ``scripts/kernel-doc``
+
+  This is a perl script that hunts for the block comments and can mark them up
+  directly into reStructuredText, DocBook, man, text, and HTML. (No, not
+  texinfo.)
+
+- ``Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl``
+
+  These are XML template files, which are normal XML files with special
+  place-holders for where the extracted documentation should go.
+
+- ``scripts/docproc.c``
+
+  This is a program for converting XML template files into XML files. When a
+  file is referenced it is searched for symbols exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL), to be
+  able to distinguish between internal and external functions.
+
+  It invokes kernel-doc, giving it the list of functions that are to be
+  documented.
+
+  Additionally it is used to scan the XML template files to locate all the files
+  referenced herein. This is used to generate dependency information as used by
+  make.
+
+- ``Makefile``
+
+  The targets 'xmldocs', 'psdocs', 'pdfdocs', and 'htmldocs' are used to build
+  DocBook XML files, PostScript files, PDF files, and html files in
+  Documentation/DocBook. The older target 'sgmldocs' is equivalent to 'xmldocs'.
+
+- ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``
+
+  This is where C files are associated with SGML templates.
+
+How to use kernel-doc comments in DocBook XML template files
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+DocBook XML template files (\*.tmpl) are like normal XML files, except that they
+can contain escape sequences where extracted documentation should be inserted.
+
+``!E<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation, in ``<filename>``, for
+functions that are exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``: the function list is
+collected from files listed in ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``.
+
+``!I<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation for functions that are **not**
+exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
+
+``!D<filename>`` is used to name additional files to search for functions
+exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
+
+``!F<filename> <function [functions...]>`` is replaced by the documentation, in
+``<filename>``, for the functions listed.
+
+``!P<filename> <section title>`` is replaced by the contents of the ``DOC:``
+section titled ``<section title>`` from ``<filename>``. Spaces are allowed in
+``<section title>``; do not quote the ``<section title>``.
+
+``!C<filename>`` is replaced by nothing, but makes the tools check that all DOC:
+sections and documented functions, symbols, etc. are used. This makes sense to
+use when you use ``!F`` or ``!P`` only and want to verify that all documentation
+is included.

-=================================
-How to write kernel documentation
-=================================
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-The Linux kernel uses `Sphinx`_ to generate pretty documentation from
-`reStructuredText`_ files under ``Documentation``. To build the documentation in
-HTML or PDF formats, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The generated
-documentation is placed in ``Documentation/output``.
-
-.. _Sphinx: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/
-.. _reStructuredText: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
-
-The reStructuredText files may contain directives to include structured
-documentation comments, or kernel-doc comments, from source files. Usually these
-are used to describe the functions and types and design of the code. The
-kernel-doc comments have some special structure and formatting, but beyond that
-they are also treated as reStructuredText.
-
-There is also the deprecated DocBook toolchain to generate documentation from
-DocBook XML template files under ``Documentation/DocBook``. The DocBook files
-are to be converted to reStructuredText, and the toolchain is slated to be
-removed.
-
-Finally, there are thousands of plain text documentation files scattered around
-``Documentation``. Some of these will likely be converted to reStructuredText
-over time, but the bulk of them will remain in plain text.
-
-Sphinx Build
-============
-
-The usual way to generate the documentation is to run ``make htmldocs`` or
-``make pdfdocs``. There are also other formats available, see the documentation
-section of ``make help``. The generated documentation is placed in
-format-specific subdirectories under ``Documentation/output``.
-
-To generate documentation, Sphinx (``sphinx-build``) must obviously be
-installed. For prettier HTML output, the Read the Docs Sphinx theme
-(``sphinx_rtd_theme``) is used if available. For PDF output, ``rst2pdf`` is also
-needed. All of these are widely available and packaged in distributions.
-
-To pass extra options to Sphinx, you can use the ``SPHINXOPTS`` make
-variable. For example, use ``make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs`` to get more verbose
-output.
-
-To remove the generated documentation, run ``make cleandocs``.
-
-Writing Documentation
-=====================
-
-Adding new documentation can be as simple as:
-
-1. Add a new ``.rst`` file somewhere under ``Documentation``.
-2. Refer to it from the Sphinx main `TOC tree`_ in ``Documentation/index.rst``.
-
-.. _TOC tree: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
-
-This is usually good enough for simple documentation (like the one you're
-reading right now), but for larger documents it may be advisable to create a
-subdirectory (or use an existing one). For example, the graphics subsystem
-documentation is under ``Documentation/gpu``, split to several ``.rst`` files,
-and has a separate ``index.rst`` (with a ``toctree`` of its own) referenced from
-the main index.
-
-See the documentation for `Sphinx`_ and `reStructuredText`_ on what you can do
-with them. In particular, the Sphinx `reStructuredText Primer`_ is a good place
-to get started with reStructuredText. There are also some `Sphinx specific
-markup constructs`_.
-
-.. _reStructuredText Primer: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html
-.. _Sphinx specific markup constructs: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/index.html
-
-Specific guidelines for the kernel documentation
-------------------------------------------------
-
-Here are some specific guidelines for the kernel documentation:
-
-* Please don't go overboard with reStructuredText markup. Keep it simple.
-
-* Please stick to this order of heading adornments:
-
-  1. ``=`` with overline for document title::
-
-       ==============
-       Document title
-       ==============
-
-  2. ``=`` for chapters::
-
-       Chapters
-       ========
-
-  3. ``-`` for sections::
-
-       Section
-       -------
-
-  4. ``~`` for subsections::
-
-       Subsection
-       ~~~~~~~~~~
-
-  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.
-
-
-the C domain
-------------
-
-The `Sphinx C Domain`_ (name c) is suited for documentation of C API. E.g. a
-function prototype:
-
-.. code-block:: rst
-
-    .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request )
-
-The C domain of the kernel-doc has some additional features. E.g. you can
-*rename* the reference name of a function with a common name like ``open`` or
-``ioctl``:
-
-.. code-block:: rst
-
-     .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request )
-        :name: VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS
-
-The func-name (e.g. ioctl) remains in the output but the ref-name changed from
-``ioctl`` to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS``. The index entry for this function is also
-changed to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`` and the function can now referenced by:
-
-.. code-block:: rst
-
-     :c:func:`VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`
-
-
-list tables
------------
-
-We recommend the use of *list table* formats. The *list table* formats are
-double-stage lists. Compared to the ASCII-art they might not be as
-comfortable for 
-readers of the text files. Their advantage is that they are easy to
-create or modify and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningful,
-because it is limited to the modified content.
-
-The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with
-some additional features:
-
-* column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
-  additional columns
-
-* row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
-  additional rows
-
-* auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right
-  side of that table-row.  With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can
-  changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automatically inserts (empty)
-  cells instead of spanning the last cell.
-
-options:
-
-* ``:header-rows:``   [int] count of header rows
-* ``:stub-columns:``  [int] count of stub columns
-* ``:widths:``        [[int] [int] ... ] widths of columns
-* ``:fill-cells:``    instead of auto-spanning missing cells, insert missing cells
-
-roles:
-
-* ``:cspan:`` [int] additional columns (*morecols*)
-* ``:rspan:`` [int] additional rows (*morerows*)
-
-The example below shows how to use this markup.  The first level of the staged
-list is the *table-row*. In the *table-row* there is only one markup allowed,
-the list of the cells in this *table-row*. Exceptions are *comments* ( ``..`` )
-and *targets* (e.g. a ref to ``:ref:`last row <last row>``` / :ref:`last row
-<last row>`).
-
-.. code-block:: rst
-
-   .. flat-table:: table title
-      :widths: 2 1 1 3
-
-      * - head col 1
-        - head col 2
