[PATCH 00/17] ABI: update files to reduce the documentation gap

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On a recent work, "scripts/get_abi.pl" gained a command that
validates if the files under /sys are properly described inside
Documentation/ABI.

It does that by comparing the What: fields inside Documentation/ABI
with the entries under /sysfs.

This series addresses some of the most commonly missed nodes
(in terms of the number of reported occurencies).

This series is based on next-20210927. Most patches are
independent from the other patches on this series.

After this series, the number of warnings reduced a lot on my
desktop (a NUC8i7HNK):

  $  time ./scripts/get_abi.pl undefined |sort >undef && cat undef|perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if (m#.*/(\S+) not found#)'|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr >undefined_symbols &&  wc -l undef undefined_symbols
  real	0m6,583s
  user	0m5,841s
  sys	0m0,718s
    6663 undef
     774 undefined_symbols
    7437 total

Please notice that this script  runs millions of regular expressions
in order to do such match. So, while here is is running on 6 seconds,
it could take a lot more time on a bigger machine.
