Recent versions of checkpatch have a new warning based on a documented preference of Linus to not use bool in structures due to wasted space and the size of bool is implementation dependent. For more information, see the email thread at https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/21/384 fix checkpatch --strict issues: -CHECK: Avoid using bool structure members because of possible alignment issues - see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/21/384 -WARNING: Avoid using bool as bitfield. Prefer bool bitfields as unsigned int or u<8|16|32> Signed-off-by: Ludovic Barre <ludovic.barre@st.com> Signed-off-by: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org> |

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
