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.

This is easily reproducible via CC=clang + CONFIG_STAGING=y +
CONFIG_VT6656=m.
It turns out that if your config tickles __builtin_constant_p via
differences in choices to inline or not, these statements produce
invalid assembly:
$ cat foo.c
long a(long b, long c) {
asm("orb %1, %0" : "+q"(c): "r"(b));
return c;
}
$ gcc foo.c
foo.c: Assembler messages:
foo.c:2: Error: `%rax' not allowed with `orb'
Use the `%b` "x86 Operand Modifier" to instead force register allocation
to select a lower-8-bit GPR operand.
The "q" constraint only has meaning on -m32 otherwise is treated as
"r". Not all GPRs have low-8-bit aliases for -m32.
Fixes: 1651e700 ("x86: Fix bitops.h warning with a moved cast")
