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.

scripts/mkutf8data is used only when regenerating utf8data.h, which never happens in the normal kernel build. However, it is irrespectively built if CONFIG_UNICODE is enabled. Moreover, there is no good reason for it to reside in the scripts/ directory since it is only used in fs/unicode/. Hence, move it from scripts/ to fs/unicode/. In some cases, we bypass build artifacts in the normal build. The conventional way to do so is to surround the code with ifdef REGENERATE_*. For example, - 7373f4f8 ("kbuild: add implicit rules for parser generation") - 6aaf49b4 ("crypto: arm,arm64 - Fix random regeneration of S_shipped") I rewrote the rule in a more kbuild'ish style. In the normal build, utf8data.h is just shipped from the check-in file. $ make [ snip ] SHIPPED fs/unicode/utf8data.h CC fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-core.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o AR fs/unicode/built-in.a If you want to generate utf8data.h based on UCD, put *.txt files into fs/unicode/, then pass REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 from the command line. The mkutf8data tool will be automatically compiled to generate the utf8data.h from the *.txt files. $ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 [ snip ] HOSTCC fs/unicode/mkutf8data GEN fs/unicode/utf8data.h CC fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-core.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o AR fs/unicode/built-in.a I renamed the check-in utf8data.h to utf8data.h_shipped so that this will work for the out-of-tree build. You can update it based on the latest UCD like this: $ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 fs/unicode/ $ cp fs/unicode/utf8data.h fs/unicode/utf8data.h_shipped Also, I added entries to .gitignore and dontdiff.
