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 asan instrumentation emits the following sequence to store frame pc
when the kernel is built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE:
debug/vsprintf.s:
.section .data.rel.ro.local,"aw"
.align 8
.LC3:
.quad .LASANPC4826@GOTOFF
.text
.align 8
.type number, @function
number:
.LASANPC4826:
and in case reloc is issued for LASANPC label it also gets into .symtab
with the same address as actual function symbol:
$ nm -n vmlinux | grep 0000000001397150
0000000001397150 t .LASANPC4826
0000000001397150 t number
In the end kernel backtraces are almost unreadable:
[ 143.748476] Call Trace:
[ 143.748484] ([<000000002da3e62c>] .LASANPC2671+0x114/0x190)

[ 143.748580] [<000000002dbffc4c>] .LASANPC3196+0x184/0x1b8
[ 143.748587] [<000000002ecdf2ec>] system_call+0xd8/0x2d8
Since LASANPC labels are not even unique and get into .symtab only due
to relocs filter them out in kallsyms.
