This warning is for the declaration of a static array, and it is recommended to declare it as type "static const char * const" instead of "static const char *". an array pointer declared as type "static const char *" can point to a different character constant because the pointer is mutable. However, if it is declared as type "static const char * const", the pointer will point to an immutable character constant, preventing it from being modified which can better ensure the safety and stability of the program. Fixes the below: WARNING: static const char * array should probably be static const char * const Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Cc: "Pan, Xinhui" <Xinhui.Pan@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Srinivasan Shanmugam <srinivasan.shanmugam@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.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.
