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.

Sparse uses the same executable for all archs and uses flags like -m64, -mbig-endian or -D__arm__ for arch-specific parameters. But Sparse also uses value from the host machine used to build Sparse as default value for the target machine. This works, of course, well for native build but can create problems when cross-compiling, like defining both '__i386__' and '__arm__' when cross-compiling for arm on a x86-64 machine. Fix this by explicitely telling sparse the target architecture. Reported-by:Ben Dooks <ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by:
