Add support for building selftests with -O2 level of optimization, which allows more compiler warnings detection (like lots of potentially uninitialized usage), but also is useful to have a faster-running test for some CPU-intensive tests. One can build optimized versions of libbpf and selftests by running: $ make RELEASE=1 There is a measurable speed up of about 10 seconds for me locally, though it's mostly capped by non-parallelized serial tests. User CPU time goes down by total 40 seconds, from 1m10s to 0m28s.

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.
