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.

Relocatable kernel builds produce a warning about .gnu.hash being an
orphan section:
ld: warning: orphan section `.gnu.hash' from `linker stubs' being placed in section `.gnu.hash'
If we try to discard it the build fails:
ld -EL -m elf64lppc -pie --orphan-handling=warn --build-id -o
.tmp_vmlinux1 -T ./arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds --whole-archive
arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.o
...
sound/built-in.a net/built-in.a virt/built-in.a --no-whole-archive
--start-group lib/lib.a --end-group
ld: could not find section .gnu.hash
So add an entry to explicitly retain it, as we do for .hash.
