Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Arnd Bergmann reported: "When ftrace is enabled and we build with gcc-4.7 or older, we get a warning for each file on architectures that select CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION: warning: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible [enabled by default] " Since commit c3f0d0bc ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to cc-option to support clang"), warnings are treated as errors in cc-option checks. CC_FLAGS_FTRACE is blindly added to KBUILD_CFLAGS, so $(call cc-option,-ffunction-sections,) should be moved below it in order to detect the conflict between the two options.
