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.

Since commit 73267498 ("arm64: unwind: reference pt_regs via embedded stack frame") arm64 has not used the __exception annotation to dump the pt_regs during stack tracing. in_exception_text() has no callers. This annotation is only used to blacklist kprobes, it means the same as __kprobes. Section annotations like this require the functions to be grouped together between the start/end markers, and placed according to the linker script. For kprobes we also have NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() which logs the symbol address in a section that kprobes parses and blacklists at boot. Using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead lets kprobes publish the list of blacklisted symbols, and saves us from having an arm64 specific spelling of __kprobes. do_debug_exception() already has a NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() annotation.
