Include HTML output generated with rustdoc into the Linux kernel

Changes since V1:
- Work on top of v6.1-rc1.
Thank you for the rebase.

- 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, this means "make htmldocs" will require kernel .config if CONFIG_RUST=y.
I'm not sure this new requirement is acceptable for kernel documentation
testers who just want to build kernel documentation.


This is already kind of the case for Rust-related business.



You are doing three things in this patch.

1) Change the destination of rustdoc to under Documentation/output/
2) Add a cross reference to the generated rustdoc in
Documentation/rust/index.rst.
3) Integrate rustdoc generation into htmldocs.

I'm OK with 1) and 2).
Can you separate 3) into another patch and respin?


Glad we can agree on 1) and 2). Why moving 3)? This is a small patch with
one overall purpose (Integrate rustdoc into website).



By the way, is rustdoc's requirement of .config only for CONFIG_RUST?
In other words, are contents of rustdoc affected by other config settings?

If not, I think rustdoc can be generated regardless of config settings as
far as necessary tools (rustc, bindgen, etc.) are available.


Yes, but someone with the tools may not want to use them. Keep in mind that
generating rustdoc takes a few extra seconds.

This cross reference will only make sense in htmldocs build.
Perhaps, you can use the "only::" directive [1] as follows:

.. only:: html


This I can gladly do on a V3. I will wait for an answer on issues above.
