Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6): $ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py - FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in <module> parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-') File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore') AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and the line can be dropped. /usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3. So this would indeed be worth going into 4.19.

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.
