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.

If CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and the kernel is built from a pristine state, the vmlinux is linked twice. Commit 3fdc7d3f ("kbuild: link vmlinux only once for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS") explains why this happens, but it did not fix the issue at all. Now I realized I had applied a wrong patch. In v1 patch [1], the autoksyms_recursive target correctly recurses to "$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile autoksyms_recursive". In v2 patch [2], I accidentally dropped the diff line, and it recurses to "$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile vmlinux". Restore the code I intended in v1.
