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.

Kconfig updates the .config when it exits even if its content is exactly the same as before. Since its timestamp becomes newer than that of other build artifacts, additional processing is invoked, which is annoying. - syncconfig is invoked to update include/config/auto.conf, etc. - kernel/configs.o is recompiled if CONFIG_IKCONFIG is enabled, then vmlinux is relinked as well. If the .config is not changed at all, we do not have to even touch it. Just bail out showing "No change to .config". $ make allmodconfig scripts/kconfig/conf --allmodconfig Kconfig # # configuration written to .config # $ make allmodconfig scripts/kconfig/conf --allmodconfig Kconfig # # No change to .config # Reported-by:Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by:
