After the build fix patches, it is believed that the output

Sphinx C parser for the C domain is now more pedantic when
trying to identify the function types. That prevents scope
macros to be used as type defines.
Yet, since 3.0.2, it is possible to provide it a list of
such macros. Add them, in order to solve several Sphinx 3.x
warnings.

The building system can auto-generate a list of documents since
commit: 9d42afbe6b ("docs: pdf: add all Documentation/*/index.rst to PDF output").
The added logic there allows keeping the existing list, but
there's not real reason to keep it. Now, the media document
has gone (it was split into tree).
So, it sounds about time to get rid of the manual entries,
and let the script to generate it automatically instead.

The autosectionlabel extension is nice, as it allows to refer to
a section by its name without requiring any extra tag to create
a reference name.
However, on its default, it has two serious problems:
1) the namespace is global. So, two files with different
"introduction" section would create a label with the
same name. This is easily solvable by forcing the extension
to prepend the file name with:
autosectionlabel_prefix_document = True
2) It doesn't work hierarchically. So, if there are two level 1
sessions (let's say, one labeled "open" and another one "ioctl")
and both have a level 2 "synopsis" label, both section 2 will
have the same identical name.
Currently, there's no way to tell Sphinx to create an
hierarchical reference like:
open / synopsis
ioctl / synopsis
This causes around 800 warnings. So, the fix should be to
not let autosectionlabel to produce references for anything
that it is not at a chapter level within any doc, with:
autosectionlabel_maxdepth = 2

In order to have the MAINTAINERS file visible in the rendered ReST
output, this makes some small changes to the existing MAINTAINERS file
to allow for better machine processing, and adds a new Sphinx directive
"maintainers-include" to perform the rendering.
Features include:
- Per-subsystem reference links: subsystem maintainer entries can be
trivially linked to both internally and external. For example:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainers.html#secure-computing
- Internally referenced .rst files are linked so they can be followed
when browsing the resulting rendering. This allows, for example, the
future addition of maintainer profiles to be automatically linked.
- Field name expansion: instead of the short fields (e.g. "M", "F",
"K"), use the indicated inline "full names" for the fields (which are
marked with "*"s in MAINTAINERS) so that a rendered subsystem entry
is more human readable. Email lists are additionally comma-separated.
For example:

My eyesight is not in good shape, which means that I have difficulty
reading the online Linux documentation. Specifically, body text is
oddly small compared to list items and the contrast of various text
elements is too low for me to be able to see easily.
Therefore, alter the HTML theme overrides to make the text larger and
increase the contrast for better visibility, and trust the typeface
choices of the reader's browser.
For the PDF output, increase the text size, use a sans-serif typeface
for sans-serif text, and use a serif typeface for "roman" serif text.

Sphinx 1.5 added a new way to change backward colors for note

the old way stopped working, in favor of a new less hackish

Unfortunately, this is currently too buggy to be used, and
the old way doesn't work anymore. So, we have no option but
to stick with boring notice boxes.

Currently, on Sphinx up to version 1.4, pdf output uses a vertical

That causes both page headers and footers to be very close to the margin

Also, there's no reason why the layout for newer versions would be
different than for previous ones.
