v2 cover Convert get_feat to Python

Hi Jon,

That's the final series to complete the migration of documentation
build: it converts get_feat from Perl to Python.

V2 is technically identical to v1: the only difference is that it now uses tools/lib/python/feat to store the library logic.

With that, no Sphinx in-kernel extensions use fork anymore to call ancillary scripts: everything is now importing Python methods directly from the libraries.

As we don't have a definition yet for the location of the Python libraries yet, I opted to place the parse features library inside tools/docs/lib. It shouldn't be hard to move it elsewhere once we define a better place for them.

There's nothing special on this conversion: it is a direct translation, almost bug-compatible with the original version (*).

(*) I did solve two or three caveats on patch 1.

Most of the complexity of the script relies at the logic to produce ReST tables. I do have here on my internal scripts a (somewhat) generic formatter for ReST tables in Python. I was tempted to convert the logic to use it, but, as this could cause regressions, I opted to not do it right now, mainly because the matrix table logic is complex. Also, I'm tempted to modify a little bit the output there, but extra tests are required to see if PDF output would work with complex tables (I remember I had a problem with that in the past). So, I'm postponing such extra cleanup.

PATCH v2 1/3 tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to Python

As we want to call Python code directly at the Sphinx extension, convert get_feat.pl to Python.

The code was made to be (almost) bug-compatible with the Perl version, with two exceptions:

1. Currently, Perl script outputs a wrong table if arch is set to a non-existing value;

2. the ReST table output when --feat is used without --arch has an invalid format, as the number of characters for the table delimiters are wrong.

Those two bugs were fixed while testing the conversion.

Additionally, another caveat was solved:
the output when --feat is used without arch and the feature doesn't exist doesn't contain an empty table anymore.

PATCH v2 2/3 Documentation/sphinx/kernel_feat.py: use class directly

In reply to Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Now that get_feat is in Python, we don't need to use subprocess to fork an executable file: we can use the feature classes directly.

PATCH v2 3/3 get_feat.pl: remove it, as it got replaced by get_feat.py

In reply to Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Now that this was rewritten in Python, we can remove the old tool.

-
-get_feat.pl - parse the Linux Feature files and produce a ReST book.
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<get_feat.pl> [--debug] [--man] [--help] [--dir=<dir>] [--arch=<arch>]
-	       [--feature=<feature>|--feat=<feature>] <COMAND> [<ARGUMENT>]
-
-Where <COMMAND> can be:
-
-=over 8
-
-B<current>               - output table in ReST compatible ASCII format
-			   with features for this machine's architecture
-
-B<rest>                  - output table(s)  in ReST compatible ASCII format
-			   with features in ReST markup language. The output
-			   is affected by --arch or --feat/--feature flags.
-
-B<validate>              - validate the contents of the files under
-			   Documentation/features.
-
-B<ls> or B<list>         - list features for this machine's architecture,
-			   using an easier to parse format.
-			   The output is affected by --arch flag.

-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 8
-
-=item B<--arch>
-
-Output features for an specific architecture, optionally filtering for
-a single specific feature.
-
-=item B<--feat> or B<--feature>
-
-Output features for a single specific feature.
-
-=item B<--dir>
-
-Changes the location of the Feature files. By default, it uses
-the Documentation/features directory.
-
-=item B<--enable-fname>
-
-Prints the file name of the feature files. This can be used in order to
-track dependencies during documentation build.
-
-=item B<--debug>
-
-Put the script in verbose mode, useful for debugging. Can be called multiple
-times, to increase verbosity.
-
-=item B<--help>
-
-Prints a brief help message and exits.
-
-=item B<--man>
-
-Prints the manual page and exits.

-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-Parse the Linux feature files from Documentation/features (by default),
-optionally producing results at ReST format.
-
-It supports output data per architecture, per feature or a
-feature x arch matrix.
-
-When used with B<rest> command, it will use either one of the tree formats:
-
-If neither B<--arch> or B<--feature> arguments are used, it will output a
-matrix with features per architecture.
-
-If B<--arch> argument is used, it will output the features availability for
-a given architecture.
-
-If B<--feat> argument is used, it will output the content of the feature
-file using ReStructured Text markup.

So you had me worried with this:

Quoted 4 lines

As we don't have a definition yet for the location of the Python libraries yet, I opted to place the parse features library inside tools/docs/lib. It shouldn't be hard to move it elsewhere once we define a better place for them.

But it seems that you did, in fact, update the library location. I've applied these, thanks.

Heh, forgot to update the description ;-)
