Linus Torvalds 8a02ec8f35 Have bootconfig size and checksum be little endian
In case the bootconfig is created on one kind of endian machine, and then
 read on the other kind of endian kernel, the size and checksum will be
 incorrect. Instead, have both the size and checksum always be little
 endian and have the tool and the kernel convert it from little endian to
 or from the host endian.

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.
