Stephen Rothwell reported that the objtool cross-build breaks on non-x86 hosts: > tools/arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h:185:24: error: invalid register name for 'current_stack_pointer' > 185 | register unsigned long current_stack_pointer asm(_ASM_SP); > | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The PowerPC host obviously doesn't know much about x86 register names. Protect the kernel-specific bits of <asm/asm.h>, so that it can be included by tooling and cross-built. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Reviewed-by: H.

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.
