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.

Objtool throws unannotated intra-function call warnings in the following assembly files: arch/powerpc/kernel/vector.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x53c: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x60: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x124: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x5d4: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x5dc: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0xcb8: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0xd0c: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x1030: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x358: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x728: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x4d94: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x4ec4: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_interrupts.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x6c: unannotated intra-function call arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x64: unannotated intra-function call Objtool does not add STT_NOTYPE symbols with size 0 to the rbtree, which is why find_call_destination() function is not able to find the destination symbol for 'bl' instruction. For such symbols, objtool is throwing unannotated intra-function call warnings in assembly files. Fix these warnings by annotating those symbols with SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL and SYM_FUNC_END macros, inorder to set symbol type to STT_FUNC and symbol size accordingly. Tested-by:Naveen N.
