Callers of check_sections() join parameterlist into a single string, which
is then immediately split back into the original list. Rather than do all
that, just use parameterlist directly in check_sections().

The code goes out of its way to create a special list of parameters in
entry.struct_actual that is just like entry.parameterlist, but with extra
junk. The only use of that information, in check_sections(), promptly
strips all the extra junk back out. Drop all that extra work and just use
parameterlist.
No output changes.

The section list always comes directly from the under-construction entry
and is used uniformly. Formalize section handling in the KdocItem class,
and have output_declaration() load the sections directly from the entry,
eliminating a lot of duplicated, verbose parameters.

Python dicts (as of 3.7) are guaranteed to remember the insertion order of

This class is intended to replace the unstructured dict used to accumulate
an entry to pass to an output module. For now, it remains unstructured,
but it works well enough that the output classes don't notice the

process_proto_type() is using a complex regex and a "while True" loop to
split a declaration into chunks and, in the end, count brackets. Switch to
using a simpler regex to just do the split directly, and handle each chunk
as it comes. The result is, IMO, easier to understand and reason about.
The old algorithm would occasionally elide the space between function
parameters; see struct rng_alg->generate(), foe example. The only output
difference is to not elide that space, which is more correct.

process_proto_type() and process_proto_function() reinventing the strip()
string method with a whole series of separate regexes; take all that out
and just use strip().
The previous implementation also (in process_proto_type()) removed C++
comments *after* the above dance, leaving trailing whitespace in that case;
now we do the stripping afterward. This results in exactly one output
change: the removal of a spurious space in the definition of
BACKLIGHT_POWER_REDUCED - see
https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/backlight.html#c.backlight_properties.
I note that we are putting semicolons after #define lines that really
shouldn't be there - a task for another day.

Now that "inline_*" are just ordinary parser states, split them into two
separate functions, getting rid of some nested conditional logic.
The original process_inline() would simply ignore lines that didn't match
any of the regexes (those lacking the initial " * " marker). I have
preserved that behavior, but we should perhaps emit a warning instead.

Move the recognition of this state to when we enter it, rather than when we

Some changes in output do result from this shift, generally for kerneldoc

The state known as BODY_WITH_BLANK_LINE really, in a convoluted way,
indicates a "special section" that is terminated by a blank line or the
beginning of a new section. That is either "@param: desc" sections, or the

The regex in the BODY_WITH_BLANK_LINE case was looking for lines starting
with " * ", where exactly one space was allowed before the following text.
There are many kerneldoc comments where the authors have put multiple
spaces instead, leading to mis-formatting of the documentation.
Specifically, in this case, the description portion is associated with the
last of the parameters.
Allow multiple spaces in this context.
See, for example, synchronize_hardirq() and how its documentation is
formatted before and after the change.

process_name() looks for the first line of a kerneldoc comment. It

catches six cases in the kernel, all of the form:
define SOME_MACRO_NAME - description

and the code to remove it specially.
