Hi Greg,
Arch Linux recently enabled building the kernel documentation in their PKGBUILD, which turned my normally peaceful build into a spamfest of unescaped braces warnings from Perl.
These are fixed upstream with the following two patches:
701b3a3c0ac4 ("PATCH scripts/kernel-doc") 673bb2dfc364 ("scripts/kernel-doc: Escape all literal braces in regexes")
Could they please be applied to 4.18? They should be clean cherry-picks.
Thanks! Nathan

I hadn't thought of those as -stable fodder, but I can see how that would be helpful. Certainly I have no objection to including them.

All now queued up, thanks.
