More and more functionality from the early boot phase gets carried over to the decompressor. With this the complexity of the code and thus the chance to introduce bugs increases. In order to be able to debug these early boot bugs the distributions have to package the decompressors vmlinux together with the other debuginfos. However for that the distributions require the vmlinux to contain a build-id. Per default the section containing the build-id is placed first in the section table. So make sure to move it behind the .text section otherwise the image would be unbootable. Signed-off-by: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com>
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.
