[ Upstream commit cb708ab9f5 ]
It's slightly better to set _GNU_SOURCE in the source code, but if one
must do it via the compiler invocation, then the best way to do so is
this:
$(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE=
...because otherwise, if this form is used:
$(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE
...then that leads the compiler to set a value, as if you had passed in:
$(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE=1
That, in turn, leads to warnings under both gcc and clang, like this:
futex_requeue_pi.c:20: warning: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined
Fix this by using the "-D_GNU_SOURCE=" form.

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.
