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.

gcc 12 does not (always) optimize away code that should only be generated
if parameters are constant and within in a certain range. This depends on
various obscure kernel config options, however in particular
PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES can trigger this compile error:
In function ‘__atomic_add_const’,
inlined from ‘__preempt_count_add.part.0’ at ./arch/s390/include/asm/preempt.h:50:3:
./arch/s390/include/asm/atomic_ops.h:80:9: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’
80 | asm volatile( \
| ^~~
Workaround this by simply disabling the optimization for
PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES, since the kernel will be so slow, that this
optimization won't matter at all.
