Build selftests, bpftool, and libbpf in debug mode with DWARF data to facilitate easier debugging. In terms of impact on building and running selftests. Build is actually faster now: BEFORE: make -j60 380.21s user 37.87s system 1466% cpu 28.503 total AFTER: make -j60 345.47s user 37.37s system 1599% cpu 23.939 total test_progs runtime seems to be the same: BEFORE: real 1m5.139s user 0m1.600s sys 0m43.977s AFTER: real 1m3.799s user 0m1.721s sys 0m42.420s Huge difference is being able to debug issues throughout test_progs, bpftool, and libbpf without constantly updating 3 Makefiles by hand (including GDB seeing the source code without any extra incantations).

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.
