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.

When Make recurses to the top Makefile with sub-make-done unset, the code block surrounded by 'ifneq ($(sub-make-done),1) ... endif' is parsed multiple times. This happens for in-tree building of include/config/auto.conf, *-pkg, etc. with GNU Make 4.x. This is a slight regression by commit 688931a5 ("kbuild: skip sub-make for in-tree build with GNU Make 4.x") in terms of performance since that code block contains one $(shell ...) invocation. Fix it by exporting the variable irrespective of sub-make being run. I renamed it because GNU Make cannot properly export variables containing hyphens. This is probably a bug of GNU Make, and the issue in Kbuild had already been reported by commit 2bfbe788 ("kbuild: Do not use hyphen in exported variable name").
