As Peter has put it all sound and complete for the cause, I simply quote: "It (check_redundant) was added for cross-release (which has since been reverted) which would generate a lot of redundant links (IIRC) but having it makes the reports more convoluted -- basically, if we had an A-B-C relation, then A-C will not be added to the graph because it is already covered. This then means any report will include B, even though a shorter cycle might have been possible." This would increase the number of direct dependencies. For a simple workload (make clean; reboot; make vmlinux -j8), the data looks like this: CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL: direct dependencies: 6926 !CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL: direct dependencies: 9052 (+30.7%) Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Yuyang Du <duyuyang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: bvanassche@acm.org Cc: frederic@kernel.org Cc: ming.lei@redhat.com Cc: will.deacon@arm.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190506081939.74287-21-duyuyang@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
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.
