The clean target needs ARCH=${ARCH} to clean up the tree for the correct
architecture. 'make (bin)deb-pkg' skips cleaning, but the preclean hook
may be executed if dpkg-buildpackage is directly used.
The binary-arch target does not need KERNELRELEASE because it is not
updated during the installation. KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION is not needed
either because binary-arch does not build vmlinux.

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.
