On python3, Popen() universal_newlines=True converts the subprocess
stdout to unicode text using a codec based on user preferences. Given
LANG indicating ascii and utf-8 stdout from the subprocess, you'd get:
WARNING: kernel-doc '../scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno
../drivers/media/dvb-core/demux.h' processing failed with: 'ascii' codec can't
decode byte 0xe2 in position 6368: ordinal not in range(128)
Fix this by dropping universal_newlines=True and replacing the implicit
LANG specific decode with an explicit utf-8 decode. This also gets rid
of the annoying conditional code for python 2 vs. 3.
Fixes: ba3501859354 ("Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc extension on python3")

Genalloc/genpool has kerneldoc comments, but nothing has ever been pulled

Reported by Johannes Berg [1]. Problem here: function
process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration
without any whitespace. A one-liner of::
struct something {
struct foo
bar;
};
has to be::
struct something {struct foo bar;};
Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space
between 'foo' and 'bar'::
struct something {struct foobar;};
Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines
between enum declaration::
warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo'
Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from
the concatenated string (with the new additional space from
process_proto_type).

The rtmutex remove a pending owner bit in in rt_mutex::owner, in
commit 8161239a8bcc ("rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock")
But the document was changed accordingly. Updating it to a meaningful
state.
BTW, as 'Steven Rostedt' mentioned:
There is still technically a "Pending Owner", it's just not called
that anymore. The pending owner happens to be the top_waiter of a lock
that has no owner and has been woken up to grab the lock.

The rt-mutex-design documents didn't gotten meaningful update from its
first version. Even after owner's pending bit was removed in commit 8161239a8bcc
("rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock")
and priority list 'plist' changed to rbtree. And Peter Zijlstra did some

So update it to latest code and make it meaningful.

Currently, on Sphinx up to version 1.4, pdf output uses a vertical
margin of 1 inch. For upper versions, it uses a margin of 0.5 inches.
That causes both page headers and footers to be very close to the margin
of the sheet. Not all printers support writing like that.
Also, there's no reason why the layout for newer versions would be
different than for previous ones.
So, standardize it, by always setting to 1 inch.

RHEL 7.x and clone distros are shipped with Sphinx 1.1.x,
with is incompatible with Kernel ReST markups.
So, on those systems, the only alternative is to install
it via a Python virtual environment.
While seeking for "pip" on CentOS 7.3, I noticed that it
is not really needed, as python-virtualenv has its version
packaged there already. So, remove this from the list of
requirements for all distributions.
With regards to PDF, we need at least texlive-tabulary
extension, but that is not shipped there (at least on
CentOS). So, disable PDF packages as a whole.
Please notice, however, that texlive + amsmath is needed for
ReST to properly handle ReST ".. math::" tags. Yet, Sphinx
fall back to display the LaTeX math expressions as-is, if
such extension is not available.
So, let's just disable all texlive packages as a whole.

Sphinx installation is not trivial, as not all versions are supported,
