The three ones I have it handy all have it: Fedora 42: $ grep CONFIG_EXPERT /boot/config* /boot/config-6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64:CONFIG_EXPERT=y /boot/config-6.15.3-200.fc42.x86_64:CONFIG_EXPERT=y /boot/config-6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64:CONFIG_EXPERT=y Ubuntu 24.10: $ grep CONFIG_EXPERT /boot/config* /boot/config-6.11.0-26-generic:CONFIG_EXPERT=y /boot/config-6.8.0-60-generic:CONFIG_EXPERT=y Debian 12: $ grep CONFIG_EXPERT /boot/config* /boot/config-6.1.0-34-amd64:CONFIG_EXPERT=y /boot/config-6.1.0-37-amd64:CONFIG_EXPERT=y /boot/config-6.1.0-37-rt-amd64:CONFIG_EXPERT=y So, expert on distros seem quite common those days. Fedora has it enabled for a long time. On Fedora 42: $ grep CONFIG_DRM_WERROR /boot/config* /boot/config-6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64:CONFIG_DRM_WERROR=y /boot/config-6.15.3-200.fc42.x86_64:CONFIG_DRM_WERROR=y /boot/config-6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64:CONFIG_DRM_WERROR=y I would expect to have it enabled on other distros as well. > Is there something else in DRM that invokes kernel-doc ? > > > --- > > Documentation/process/changes.rst | 9 ++++++++- > > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/Documentation/process/changes.rst b/Documentation/process/changes.rst > > index bccfa19b45df..6a7d7c1ee274 100644 > > --- a/Documentation/process/changes.rst > > +++ b/Documentation/process/changes.rst > > @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ Sphinx\ [#f1]_ 3.4.3 sphinx-build --version > > GNU tar 1.28 tar --version > > gtags (optional) 6.6.5 gtags --version > > mkimage (optional) 2017.01 mkimage --version > > -Python (optional) 3.9.x python3 --version > > +Python 3.9.x python3 --version > > GNU AWK (optional) 5.1.0 gawk --version > > ====================== =============== ======================================== > > > > @@ -154,6 +154,13 @@ Perl > > You will need perl 5 and the following modules: ``Getopt::Long``, > > ``Getopt::Std``, ``File::Basename``, and ``File::Find`` to build the kernel. > > > > +Python > > +------ > > + > > +At least Python 2.7 or 3.4 is required if CONFIG_DRM is selected to avoid > > +breaking compilation.
