Regarding: commit2b6783191d("dynamic_debug: add trim_prefix() to provide source-root relative paths") commita73619a845("kbuild: use -fmacro-prefix-map to make __FILE__ a relative path") 2nd commit broke dynamic-debug's "file $fullpath" query form, but nobody noticed because 1st commit had trimmed prefixes from control-file output, so the click-copy-pasting of fullpaths into new queries had ceased; that query form became unused. Removing the function is cleanest, but it could be useful in old-compiler corner cases, where __FILE__ still has /full/path, and it safely does nothing otherwize. So instead, quietly deprecate "file /full/path" query form, by removing all /full/paths examples in the docs. I skipped adding a back-compat note.

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.
