The is_maintained_obsolete function can be called twice using the same filename. This function spawns a process using get_maintainer.pl. Store the status of each filename when spawned and use the stored result to eliminate the spawning of unnecessary duplicate child processes. Example: old: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl hp100-Move-to-staging.patch > /dev/null real 0m1.767s user 0m1.634s sys 0m0.141s new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl hp100-Move-to-staging.patch > /dev/null real 0m1.184s user 0m1.085s sys 0m0.103s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b982566a2b9b4825badce36fdfc3032bd0005151.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
