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.

After the SPDX license tags were added a number of tooling headers got out of
sync with their kernel variants, generating lots of build warnings.
Sync them:
- tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h,
tools/arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h,
tools/include/linux/hash.h:
Remove the SPDX tag where the kernel version does not have it.
- tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/__fls.h,
tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/arch_hweight.h,
tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h,
tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls.h,
tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls64.h,
tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctls.h,
tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h,
tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/vhost.h,
tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h:
Add the SPDX tag of the respective kernel header.
- tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h,
Change the tag to the kernel header version:
-/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
+/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */
Also sync other header details:
- include/uapi/sound/asound.h:
Fix pointless end of line whitespace noise the header grew in this cycle.
- tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:
Sync the code and add tools/include/asm/export.h with dummy wrappers
to support building the kernel side code in a tooling header environment.
- tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:
Sync other details that don't impact tooling's use of the ABIs.
