mainlining shenanigans
f143c11bb7
Pulling header files directly out of the kernel sources for inclusion in userspace programs is highly error prone, not least because it bypasses the kbuild infrastructure entirely and so may end up referencing other header files that have not been generated. Subsequent patches will cause compiler.h to pull in the ungenerated asm/rwonce.h file via filter.h, breaking the build for tools/bpf: | $ make -C tools/bpf | make: Entering directory '/linux/tools/bpf' | CC bpf_jit_disasm.o | LINK bpf_jit_disasm | CC bpf_dbg.o | In file included from /linux/include/uapi/linux/filter.h:9, | from /linux/tools/bpf/bpf_dbg.c:41: | /linux/include/linux/compiler.h:247:10: fatal error: asm/rwonce.h: No such file or directory | #include <asm/rwonce.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | compilation terminated. | make: *** [Makefile:61: bpf_dbg.o] Error 1 | make: Leaving directory '/linux/tools/bpf' Take a copy of the installed version of linux/filter.h (i.e. the one created by the 'headers_install' target) into tools/include/uapi/linux/ and adjust the BPF tool Makefile to reference the local include directories instead of those in the main source tree.

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.
