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.

When passing compiler variables like CC=$(HOSTCC) to a submake we must ensure the variable is quoted in order to handle cases where $(HOSTCC) may be multiple binaries. For example when using ccache $HOSTCC may be: "/usr/bin/ccache /usr/bin/gcc" If we pass CC without quotes like CC=$(HOSTCC) only the first "/usr/bin/ccache" part will be assigned to the CC variable which will cause an error due to dropping the "/usr/bin/gcc" part of the variable in the submake invocation. This fixes errors such as: /usr/bin/ccache: invalid option -- 'd' Signed-off-by:James Hilliard <james.hilliard1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
