Newer binutils (>= 2.36) refuse to assemble lmw/stmw when building in little endian mode. That breaks compilation of our alignment handler test: /tmp/cco4l14N.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cco4l14N.s:1440: Error: `lmw' invalid when little-endian /tmp/cco4l14N.s:1814: Error: `stmw' invalid when little-endian make[2]: *** [../../lib.mk:139: /output/kselftest/powerpc/alignment/alignment_handler] Error 1 These tests do pass on little endian machines, as the kernel will still emulate those instructions even when running little endian (which is arguably a kernel bug). But we don't really need to test that case, so ifdef those instructions out to get the alignment test building again.

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.
