6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miguel Ojeda ojeda@kernel.org
commit 252fea131e15aba2cd487119d1a8f546471199e2 upstream.
`rustdoc` can get confused when generating documentation into a folder that contains generated files from other `rustdoc` versions.
For instance, running something like:
rustup default 1.78.0 make LLVM=1 rustdoc rustup default 1.88.0 make LLVM=1 rustdoc
may generate errors like:
error: couldn't generate documentation: invalid template: last line expected to start with a comment | = note: failed to create or modify "./Documentation/output/rust/rustdoc/src-files.js"
Thus just always clean the output folder before generating the documentation -- we are anyway regenerating it every time the `rustdoc` target gets called, at least for the time being.
