The --force-btf option is intended for debugging purposes and is currently undocumented. Add documentation for it. Committer notes: We need a follow up patch expanding on what can be done via BTF and what isn't possible and thus needs further work to convert kernel C source code into tables that can then be associated with syscall integer args and struct members, as discussed in: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241215190712.787847-3-howardchu95@gmail.com/T/#mcfbba653200775c59c730705229a49b34a153db7 Signed-off-by: Howard Chu <howardchu95@gmail.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241215190712.787847-3-howardchu95@gmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241215190712.787847-3-howardchu95@gmail.com/T/#mcfbba653200775c59c730705229a49b34a153db7 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
