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.

Building an arm64 allmodconfig kernel with clang results in over 140 warnings about overly large stack frames, the worst ones being: drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-sitronix-st7789v.c:196:12: error: stack frame size of 20224 bytes in function 'st7789v_prepare' drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/displays/panel-tpo-td028ttec1.c:196:12: error: stack frame size of 13120 bytes in function 'td028ttec1_panel_enable' drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c:1395:1: error: stack frame size of 10048 bytes in function 'max3421_spi_thread' drivers/net/wan/slic_ds26522.c:209:12: error: stack frame size of 9664 bytes in function 'slic_ds26522_probe' drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c:2434:5: error: stack frame size of 8832 bytes in function 'ccp_run_cmd' drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367.c:1005:12: error: stack frame size of 7840 bytes in function 'stv0367ter_algo' None of these happen with gcc today, and almost all of these are the result of a single known issue in llvm. Hopefully it will eventually get fixed with the clang-9 release. In the meantime, the best idea I have is to turn off asan-stack for clang-8 and earlier, so we can produce a kernel that is safe to run. I have posted three patches that address the frame overflow warnings that are not addressed by turning off asan-stack, so in combination with this change, we get much closer to a clean allmodconfig build, which in turn is necessary to do meaningful build regression testing. It is still possible to turn on the CONFIG_ASAN_STACK option on all versions of clang, and it's always enabled for gcc, but when CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is set, the option remains invisible, so allmodconfig and randconfig builds (which are normally done with a forced CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST) will still result in a mostly clean build.
