Rasmus Villemoes e0b2475a3f bloat-o-meter: ignore __addressable_ symbols
Since __LINE__ is part of the symbol created by __ADDRESSABLE, almost
any change causes those symbols to disappear and get reincarnated, e.g.

add/remove: 4/4 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 32/-171 (-139)
Function                                     old     new   delta

They're small and in .discard, so ignore them, leading to more useful

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-139 (-139)

README

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.
