Jonathan Corbet 778b8ebe51 docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python
"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules.  We
already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries
there, and update the users accordingly.

While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib.  Rather than make another
directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".

Mauro Carvalho Chehab a84a5d0b5a scripts/jobserver-exec: add a help message
Currently, calling it without an argument shows an ugly error
message. Instead, print a message using pythondoc as description.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab fce6df7e73 scripts/jobserver-exec: move its class to the lib directory
To make it easier to be re-used, move the JobserverExec class
to the library directory.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 2a14f02121 scripts/jobserver-exec: move the code to a class
Convert the code inside jobserver-exec to a class and
properly document it.

Using a class allows reusing the jobserver logic on other
scripts.

While the main code remains unchanged, being compatible with
Python 2.6 and 3.0+, its coding style now follows a more
modern standard, having tabs replaced by a 4-spaces
indent, passing autopep8, black and pylint.

The code allows using a pythonic way to enter/exit a python
code, e.g. it now supports:

	with JobserverExec() as jobserver:
	    jobserver.run(sys.argv[1:])

With the new code, the __exit__() function should ensure
that the jobserver slot will be closed at the end, even if
something bad happens somewhere.

Martin Liska 8c0089882a scripts: support GNU make 4.4 in jobserver-exec
Starting with GNU make 4.4, --jobserver-auth newly uses named
pipe (fifo) instead of part of opened file descriptors:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/POSIX-Jobserver.html

Support also the new format.

Masahiro Yamada f8f4dc7685 scripts/jobserver-exec: parse the last --jobserver-auth= option
In the GNU Make manual, the section "Sharing Job Slots with GNU make"
says:

    Be aware that the MAKEFLAGS variable may contain multiple instances
    of the --jobserver-auth= option. Only the last instance is relevant.

Take the last element of the array, not the first.

Masahiro Yamada d8d2d38275 kbuild: remove PYTHON variable
Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the
'python' command any more.

As in commit 51839e29cb ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"),
we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they
are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3.

This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing
users to 'PYTHON3'.

BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful
material.

Kees Cook 51e46c7a40 docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are made
Rasmus correctly observed that the existing jobserver reservation only
worked if no other build targets were specified. The correct approach
is to hold the jobserver slots until sphinx has finished. To fix this,
the following changes are made:

- refactor (and rename) scripts/jobserver-exec to set an environment
  variable for the maximally reserved jobserver slots and exec a
  child, to release the slots on exit.

- create Documentation/scripts/parallel-wrapper.sh which examines both
  $PARALLELISM and the detected "-jauto" logic from Documentation/Makefile
  to decide sphinx's final -j argument.

- chain these together in Documentation/Makefile
