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.

Add selftests for kernel behavior with regard to various classes of unallocated/reserved IPv4 addresses, checking whether or not these addresses can be assigned as unicast addresses on links and used in routing. Expect the current kernel behavior at the time of this patch. That is: * 0/8 and 240/4 may be used as unicast, with the exceptions of 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255; * the lowest address in a subnet may only be used as a broadcast address; * 127/8 may not be used as unicast (the route_localnet option, which is disabled by default, still leaves it treated slightly specially); * 224/4 may not be used as unicast.
