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.

Commit c4617318 ("MIPS: Add NUMA support for Loongson-3") has increased .bss size of the Octeon kernel from 16k to 16M. Providing the conditions for SPARSEMEM_EXTREME avoids the waste of memory. Thomas has tested the loogsoon64 kernel, where .bss is being reduced by this patch from 16.5M to 515k.
