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.

For ARM, modpost fails to detect some types of section mismatches.
[test code]
.section .init.data,"aw"
bar:
.long 0
.section .data,"aw"
.globl foo
foo:
.long bar - .
It is apparently a bad reference, but modpost does not report anything.
The test code above produces the following relocations.
Relocation section '.rel.data' at offset 0xe8 contains 1 entry:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000000 00000403 R_ARM_REL32 00000000 .init.data
Currently, R_ARM_REL32 is just skipped.
Handle it like R_ARM_ABS32.
