commit690d9163bfupstream. Some versions of GCC suboptimally generate calls to the __multi3() intrinsic for MIPS64r6 builds, resulting in link failures due to the missing function: LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o kernel/bpf/verifier.o: In function `kmalloc_array': include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3' fs/select.o: In function `kmalloc_array': include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3' ... We already have a workaround for this in which we provide the instrinsic, but we do so selectively for GCC 7 only. Unfortunately the issue occurs with older GCC versions too - it has been observed with both GCC 5.4.0 & GCC 6.4.0. MIPSr6 support was introduced in GCC 5, so all major GCC versions prior to GCC 8 are affected and we extend our workaround accordingly to all MIPS64r6 builds using GCC versions older than GCC 8.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
