Linux kernel source tree
The values stored in the length and condition fields of the alternative tables fit into 16 bits, so we can save 4 bytes per alternative table entry. Since a typical 32-bit kernel has more than 3000 entries this saves > 12k of storage on disc. bloat-o-meter shows a reduction of -0.01% by this change: Total: Before=10196505, After=10195529, chg -0.01% $ ls -la vmlinux vmlinux.before -rwxr-xr-x 14437324 vmlinux -rwxr-xr-x 14449512 vmlinux.before Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> |

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.
