Both warn/error and weird output. From my side, the only reason
for writing this patch is to fix the warnings that would otherwise
be produced without it:

./kernel/futex.c:492: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
./kernel/futex.c:1264: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
./kernel/futex.c:1721: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
./kernel/futex.c:2338: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
./kernel/futex.c:2426: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
./kernel/futex.c:2899: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
./kernel/futex.c:2972: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
