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.

If CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS is enabled, "make ARCH=arm64 dtbs" compiles each DTB twice; one from arch/arm64/boot/dts/*/Makefile and the other from the dtb-$(CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS) line in arch/arm64/boot/dts/Makefile. It could be a race problem when building DTBS in parallel. Another minor issue is CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS covers only *.dts in vendor sub-directories, so this broke when Broadcom added one more hierarchy in arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/<soc>/. One idea to fix the issues in a clean way is to move DTB handling to Kbuild core scripts. Makefile.dtbinst already recognizes dtb-y natively, so it should not hurt to do so. Add $(dtb-y) to extra-y, and $(dtb-) as well if CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS is enabled. All clutter things in Makefiles go away. As a bonus clean-up, I also removed dts-dirs. Just use subdir-y directly to traverse sub-directories. Signed-off-by:Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Acked-by:
