Miroslav Benes 5720acf4bf livepatch: Make livepatch dependent on !TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
If TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, all unneeded exported symbols are made
unexported. Two-pass build of the kernel is done to find out which
symbols are needed based on a configuration. This effectively
complicates things for out-of-tree modules.

Livepatch exports functions to (un)register and enable/disable a live
patch. The only in-tree module which uses these functions is a sample in
samples/livepatch/. If the sample is disabled, the functions are
trimmed and out-of-tree live patches cannot be built.

Note that live patches are intended to be built out-of-tree.

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.
