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.

Fix the following build error from "make TARGETS=kvm kselftest": libkvm.a(assert.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC This error is seen when build is done from the main Makefile using kselftest target. In this case KBUILD_CPPFLAGS and CC_OPTION_CFLAGS are defined. When build is invoked using: "make -C tools/testing/selftests/kvm" KBUILD_CPPFLAGS and CC_OPTION_CFLAGS aren't defined. There is no need to pass in KBUILD_CPPFLAGS and CC_OPTION_CFLAGS for the check to determine if --no-pie is necessary, which is the case when these two aren't defined when "make -C tools/testing/selftests/kvm" runs. Fix it by simplifying the no-pie-option logic. With this change, both build variations work. "make TARGETS=kvm kselftest" "make -C tools/testing/selftests/kvm" Signed-off-by:Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by:
