Adding cross-references for +userspace API files has an additional advantage: Sphinx will generate warnings +if a symbol is not found at the documentation. That helps to keep the +uAPI documentation in sync with the Kernel changes. +The :ref:`parse_headers.py ` provides a way to generate such +cross-references. It has to be called via Makefile, while building the +documentation.
