![]() If the compiler supports C11's _Generic, use it to speed up compilation times of __unqual_scalar_typeof(). GCC version 4.9 or later and all supported versions of Clang support the feature (the oldest supported compiler that doesn't support _Generic is GCC 4.8, for which we use the slower alternative). The non-_Generic variant relies on multiple expansions of __pick_integer_type -> __pick_scalar_type -> __builtin_choose_expr, which increases pre-processed code size, and can cause compile times to increase in files with numerous expansions of READ_ONCE(), or other users of __unqual_scalar_typeof(). Summary of compile-time benchmarking done by Arnd Bergmann: <baseline normalized time> clang-11 gcc-9 this patch 0.78 0.91 ideal 0.76 0.86 See https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAK8P3a3UYQeXhiufUevz=rwe09WM_vSTCd9W+KvJHJcOeQyWVA@mail.gmail.com Further compile-testing done with: gcc 4.8, 4.9, 5.5, 6.4, 7.5, 8.4; clang 9, 10.

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.
