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.

The LLVM linker (ld.lld) defaults to removing local relocations, which causes KASLR boot failures. ld.bfd and ld.gold already handle this correctly. This adds the explicit instruction "--discard-none" during the link phase. There is no change in output for ld.bfd and ld.gold, but ld.lld now produces an image with all the needed relocations.
