Quentin Monnet 507e590da3 tools: bpftool: unify installation directories
Programs and documentation not managed by package manager are generally
installed under /usr/local/, instead of the user's home directory. In
particular, `man` is generally able to find manual pages under
`/usr/local/share/man`.

bpftool generally follows perf's example, and perf installs to home
directory. However bpftool requires root credentials, so it seems
sensible to follow the more common convention of installing files under
/usr/local instead. So, make /usr/local the default prefix for
installing the binary with `make install`, and the documentation with
`make doc-install`. Also, create /usr/local/sbin if it does not exist.

Note that the bash-completion file, however, is still installed under
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions, as the default setup for bash
does not attempt to load completion files under /usr/local/.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
