Vasily Gorbik 6cf4ecf5c5 perf build: Allow nested externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage
Currently BUILD_BUG() macro is expanded to smth like the following:

   do {
           extern void __compiletime_assert_0(void)
                   __attribute__((error("BUILD_BUG failed")));
           if (!(!(1)))
                   __compiletime_assert_0();
   } while (0);

If used in a function body this obviously would produce build errors
with -Wnested-externs and -Werror.

To enable BUILD_BUG() usage in tools/arch/x86/lib/insn.c which perf
includes in intel-pt-decoder, build perf without -Wnested-externs.

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.
