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.

Add an empty libperf.a under tools/perf/lib and link it with perf.
It can also be built separately with:
$ cd tools/perf/lib && make
CC core.o
LD libperf-in.o
AR libperf.a
LINK libperf.so
Committer testing:
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf/lib/
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/lib'
LINK /tmp/build/perf/libperf.so
make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/lib'

Committer notes:
Need to add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi
-I$(srctree)/tools/include/uapi to tools/perf/lib/Makefile's INCLUDE
variable to pick up the latest versions of kernel headers, even in older
systems, this is in line with what is in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile.
