Linus Torvalds 208c6772d3 - This is basically PeterZ's idea to nest the alternative macros to avoid the
need to "spell out" the number of alternates in an ALTERNATIVE_n() macro and
   thus have an ever-increasing complexity in those definitions.
 
   For ease of bisection, the old macros are converted to the new, nested
   variants in a step-by-step manner so that in case an issue is encountered
   during testing, one can pinpoint the place where it fails easier. Because
   debugging alternatives is a serious pain.

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 reStructuredText 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.
