Linus Torvalds 32d43270ca - Adjust objtool to handle a recent binutils change to not generate unused
symbols anymore.
 
  - Revert the fail-the-build-on-fatal-errors objtool strategy for now due to the
  ever-increasing matrix of supported toolchains/plugins and them causing too
  many such fatal errors currently.
 
  - Do not add empty symbols to objdump's rbtree to accommodate clang removing
  section symbols.

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.
