The 'alabaster' theme dropped support for Sphinx < v3.4:
0.7.14 – 2024-01-08
* Dropped support for Python 3.8 and earlier.
* Dropped support for Sphinx 3.3 and earlier.
[...]
(Source: https://alabaster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html)
This manifests as an error when running 'make htmldocs' in a virtualenv
constructed from Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt:
Sphinx version error:
The alabaster extension used by this project needs at least Sphinx v3.4; it therefore cannot be built with this version.
Raising the Sphinx version is not really a good option at this point,
since 3.x through 6.x have horrible performance regressions (7.x still
does, but not quite as bad).
Instead, constrain the 'alabaster' package to versions that still support
Sphinx 2.4.4.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
