Linus Torvalds 7ecb59a566 Peter Zijlstra says:
Address KCOV vs noinstr. There is no function attribute to selectively
 suppress KCOV instrumentation, instead teach objtool to NOP out the
 calls in noinstr functions.
 
 This cures a bunch of KCOV crashes (as used by syzcaller).

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.
