mainlining shenanigans

One problem of grab_file() is that it cannot distinguish the following two cases: - It cannot read the file (the file does not exist, or read permission is not set) - It can read the file, but the file size is zero This is because grab_file() calls mmap(), which requires the mapped length is greater than 0. Hence, grab_file() fails for both cases. If an empty header file were included for checksum calculation, the following warning would be printed: WARNING: modpost: could not open ...: Invalid argument An empty file is a valid source file, so it should not fail. Use read_text_file() instead. It can read a zero-length file. Then, parse_file() will succeed with doing nothing. Going forward, the first case (it cannot read the file) is a fatal error. If the source file from which an object was compiled is missing, something went wrong. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@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.
