docs: conf.py: avoid thousands of duplicate label warning on Sphinx
The autosectionlabel extension is nice, as it allows to refer to a section by its name without requiring any extra tag to create a reference name. However, on its default, it has two serious problems: 1) the namespace is global. So, two files with different "introduction" section would create a label with the same name. This is easily solvable by forcing the extension to prepend the file name with: autosectionlabel_prefix_document = True 2) It doesn't work hierarchically. So, if there are two level 1 sessions (let's say, one labeled "open" and another one "ioctl") and both have a level 2 "synopsis" label, both section 2 will have the same identical name. Currently, there's no way to tell Sphinx to create an hierarchical reference like: open / synopsis ioctl / synopsis This causes around 800 warnings. So, the fix should be to not let autosectionlabel to produce references for anything that it is no...
