Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
06bd48b6cd
You can build a user-space test program for the raid6 library code,
like this:
$ cd lib/raid6/test
$ make
The command in $(shell ...) function is evaluated by /bin/sh by default.
(or, you can specify the shell by passing SHELL=<shell> from command line)
Currently '>&/dev/null' is used to sink both stdout and stderr. Because
this code is bash-ism, it only works when /bin/sh is a symbolic link to
bash (this is the case on RHEL etc.)
This does not work on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash.
I see lots of
/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number
and
warning "your version of binutils lacks ... support"
Replace it with portable '>/dev/null 2>&1'.

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.
