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.

When preprocessing arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S, the target triple is
not passed to $(CPP) because we add it only to KBUILD_{C,A}FLAGS.
As a result, the linker script is preprocessed with predefined macros
for the build host instead of the target.
Assuming you use an x86 build machine, compare the following:
$ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null
$ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null -target aarch64-linux-gnu
There is no actual problem presumably because our linker scripts do not
rely on such predefined macros, but it is better to define correct ones.
Move $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, so that all *.c, *.S, *.lds.S
will be processed with the proper target triple.
[Note]
After the patch submission, we got an actual problem that needs this
commit. (CBL issue 1859)
