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.

With some specific kernel configuration and Clang, the kernel fails
to like with something like:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __compiletime_assert_200
>>> referenced by arch_timer.h:156 (./arch/arm64/include/asm/arch_timer.h:156)
>>> clocksource/arm_arch_timer.o:(erratum_set_next_event_generic) in archive drivers/built-in.a
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __compiletime_assert_197
>>> referenced by arch_timer.h:133 (./arch/arm64/include/asm/arch_timer.h:133)
>>> clocksource/arm_arch_timer.o:(erratum_set_next_event_generic) in archive drivers/built-in.a
make: *** [Makefile:1161: vmlinux] Error 1
These are due to the BUILD_BUG() macros contained in the low-level
accessors (arch_timer_reg_{write,read}_cp15) being emitted, as the
access type wasn't known at compile time.
Fix this by making erratum_set_next_event_generic() __force_inline,
resulting in the 'access' parameter to be resolved at compile time,
similarly to what is already done for set_next_event().
Fixes: 4775bc63 ("Add build-time guards for unhandled register accesses")
