Nicolas Pitre 825d487583 kbuild: make scripts/adjust_autoksyms.sh robust against timestamp races
Some filesystems have timestamps with coarse precision that may allow
for a recently built object file to have the same timestamp as the
updated time on one of its dependency files. When that happens, the
object file doesn't get rebuilt as it should.

This is especially the case on filesystems that don't have sub-second
time precision, such as ext3 or Ext4 with 128B inodes.

Let's prevent that by making sure updated dependency files have a newer
timestamp than the first file we created (i.e. autoksyms.h.tmpnew).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
