sphinx.util.pycompat.execfile_() has been deprecated since Sphinx 4.0 and has been removed in Sphinx 6.0:

This breaks kernel builds that include building the kernel documentation. Excerpt from build run for a customized linux-hardened package:




Configuration error:
There is a programmable error in your configuration file:

The package version in the bug title should have been 6.0.0-1, not 6.0-1.

What if you patch the kernel to provide its own implementation of execfile_?

Thanks @loqs! So this needs fixing on the kernel side? Adding kernel PM.
