V7 is https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230717151624.3470714-1-carlos.bilbao@amd.com/T/#m5dcab9c7775e85331c0d067d411fe246ed39af1e
Changes since V7:
 - Use lowercase for rustdoc_output and define it with `:=`.
 - Remove messages that would be printed when skipping Rust documentation.

V6 is https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230127165728.119507-1-carl...
Changes since V6:
 - Skip Rust document generation entirely if .config doesn't exist.

Changes since V5:
 - Continue executing htmldocs even if rustdoc fails.

Changes since V4:
 - Limit rustdoc note only to html outputs.

Changes since V3:
 - Added Reviewed-Bys from Akira Yokosawa.
 - PATCH 1/2: Avoid error 404 adding tag `rustdoc` for Sphinx.
 - PATCH 1/2: Don't use "here" as link text, describe destination instead.
 - PATCH 2/2: Check CONFIG_RUST in a way that allows us to skip generation.
 - PATCH 2/2: Reoder Sphinx runs so they complete even if rustdoc fails.

Changes since V2:
 - Split v2 into two-patch series.
 - Add "only:: html" directive in Documentation/rust/index.rst reference

Changes since V1:
 - Work on top of v6.1-rc1.
 - Don't use rustdoc.rst, instead add link to Documentation/rust/index.rst.
 - In Documentation/Makefile, replace @make rustdoc for $(Q)$(MAKE) rustdoc.
 - Don't do LLVM=1 for all rustdoc generation within `make htmldocs`.
 - Add spaces on definition of RUSTDOC_OUTPUT, for consistency.

So I've been messing with this a bit, trying the various combinations.

- With no .config file, it behaves as it always did - thanks.

- With CONFIG_RUST=y I get the rustdocs, as expected.  There is a time
  penalty of about 5%, which is unfortunate, but that's the cost of
  progress, I guess.

- Setting CONFIG_RUST=n led to a crash with make complaining:
  "No rule to make target 'rustdoc'".  That isn't something I have been
  able to reproduce, though, so I have no idea what happened there; have
  you ever seen this?

Other than that one bit of strangeness, I think this is about ready to
be applied.

Thanks,

jon

I have not been able to reproduce this error either. If anyone comes across
this error in the future, please reach out to the list.

...and I've just gone ahead and done that - thanks for doing this and
sticking with it!
