Currently, some sanity checks for uapi headers are done by scripts/headers_check.pl, which is wired up to the 'headers_check' target in the top Makefile. It is true compiling headers has better test coverage, but there are still several headers excluded from the compile test. I like to keep headers_check.pl for a while, but we can delete a lot of code by moving the build rule to usr/include/Makefile. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.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.
