I see the following warnings when I open this document with a ReST viewer, retext: /home/masahiro/ref/linux/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst:1142: (WARNING/2) Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. /home/masahiro/ref/linux/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst:1152: (WARNING/2) Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. /home/masahiro/ref/linux/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst:1154: (WARNING/2) Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. These hunks were added by commit e846f0dc57f4 ("kbuild: add support for ensuring headers are self-contained") and commit 1e21cbfada87 ("kbuild: support header-test-pattern-y"), respectively. They were written not for ReST but for the plain text, and merged via the kbuild tree. In the same development cycle, this document was converted to ReST by commit cd238effefa2 ("docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst"), and merged via the doc sub-system. Merging them together into Linus' tree resulted in the current situation. To fix the syntax, surround the asterisks with back-quotes, and use :: for the code sample.
