Since commit ba05b39d54 ("s390/expoline: Make modules use kernel
expolines"), there is no longer any reason not to use
CONFIG_EXPOLINE_EXTERN when supported by the compiler.
On the positive side:
- there is only a single set of expolines generated and used by both the
kernel code and modules,
- it eliminates expolines "comdat" sections, which can confuse tools
like kpatch.
Always enable EXPOLINE_EXTERN if supported by the compiler.

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 reStructuredText 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.
