Currently, perf-tar*-src-pkg only uses 'git archive', but it is better to make it work without relying on git. The file, HEAD, which saves the commit hash, will be included in the tarball only when the source tree is managed by git. The git tree is more precisely checked; it has been copied from scripts/setlocalversion. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
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.
