Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Previously, 'make run_tests -C cpu-hotplug' always PASS since cpu-on-off-test.sh
always exits 0 even though the test got some unexpected errors like below:
root@debian9:/home/lizhijian/chroot/linux/tools/testing/selftests/cpu-hotplug# make run_tests
pid 878's current affinity mask: 1
pid 878's new affinity mask: 1
CPU online/offline summary:
Cpus in online state: 0
Cpus in offline state: 0
Limited scope test: one hotplug cpu
(leaves cpu in the original state):
online to offline to online: cpu 0
./cpu-on-off-test.sh: line 83: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online: Permission denied
offline_cpu_expect_success 0: unexpected fail
./cpu-on-off-test.sh: line 78: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online: Permission denied
online_cpu_expect_success 0: unexpected fail
selftests: cpu-on-off-test.sh [PASS]
after this patch, the test will exit with failure once it occurs some unexpected behaviors
