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.

The DMA code section of the decompressor must be compiled with expolines if Spectre V2 mitigation has been enabled for the decompressed kernel. This is required because although the decompressor's image contains the DMA code section, it is handed over to the decompressed kernel for use. Because the DMA code is already slow w/o expolines, use expolines always regardless whether the decompressed kernel is using them or not. This simplifies the DMA code by dropping the conditional compilation of expolines.
