From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The kernel-doc script currently reports a number of issues
only in "verbose" mode, but that's initialized from V=1
(via KBUILD_VERBOSE), so if you use KDOC_WERROR=1 then
adding V=1 might actually break the build. This is rather
unexpected.

Change kernel-doc to not change its behaviour wrt. errors
(or warnings) when verbose mode is enabled, but rather add
separate warning flags (and -Wall) for it. Allow enabling
those flags via environment/make variables in the kernel's
build system for easier user use, but to not have to parse
them in the script itself.

Sorry, I misunderstood your intention.
(I just thought existing env variables would be moved to Makefile)


I do not want to proliferate env variables any more.

If you need per-flag control, maybe we can do like this?

cmd_checkdoc = $(srctree)/scripts/kernel-doc -none \
              $(KDOCFLAGS)


Then, users can do

  $ make KDOCFLAGS=-Wall
  $ make KDOCFLAGS=-Wreturn

etc.

Oh, ok, sure.

Well honestly, I myself just want to pass -Wall, but not necessarily W=2
since that adds more stuff from the C compiler.

I'd rather call it KDOC_FLAGS if you don't mind to align with
KDOC_WERROR which we have already, but sure, can do.

I just tried to be consistent with
CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, AFLAGS, CHECKFLAGS etc.
(CHECKFLAGS is for sparse) because
you apparently mimick compiler flags in kernel-doc.



BTW, kernel-doc is invoked from Documentation/Makefile too.

Do we need to pass the same flags to both of them?

So this change seems fine to me; Masahiro, if you want to take these,
feel free to add:

OK, sure, works for me. I made it mimic compiler flags because it was
already doing it for -Werror :)

It doesn't look like we _can_ in that case, at least not from the build
system, it'd have to be in kerneldoc.py or something. I also didn't
think it was that important, so I left it.
