Linux kernel source tree
21b136cc63
David Laight pointed out that we should deal with the min3() and max3() mess too, which still does excessive expansion. And our current macros are actually rather broken. In particular, the macros did this: #define min3(x, y, z) min((typeof(x))min(x, y), z) #define max3(x, y, z) max((typeof(x))max(x, y), z) and that not only is a nested expansion of possibly very complex arguments with all that involves, the typing with that "typeof()" cast is completely wrong. For example, imagine what happens in max3() if 'x' happens to be a 'unsigned char', but 'y' and 'z' are 'unsigned long'. The types are compatible, and there's no warning - but the result is just random garbage. No, I don't think we've ever hit that issue in practice, but since we now have sane infrastructure for doing this right, let's just use it. It fixes any excessive expansion, and also avoids these kinds of broken type issues.

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.
