docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python

2025-11-18T16:22:40Z

"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. We already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries there, and update the users accordingly. While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".

scripts/get_abi.py: add support for undefined ABIs

2025-02-10T18:19:57Z

The undefined logic is complex and has lots of magic on it. Implement it, using the same algorithm we have at get_abi.pl. Yet, some tweaks to optimize performance and to make the code simpler were added here: - at the perl version, the tree graph had loops, so we had to use BFS to traverse it. On this version, the graph is a tree, so, it simplifies the what group for sysfs aliases; - the logic which splits regular expressions into subgroups was re-written to make it faster; - it may optionally use multiple processes to search for symbol matches; - it has some additional debug levels.
