So we are going to be staring at those in the next years, let's make them more succinct. In particular: - change "address = " to "address: " - "-privileged" reads funny. It should be simply "kernel" or "user" - "from kernel code" reads funny too. "kernel mode" or "user mode" is more natural. An actual example says more than 1000 words, of course: [ 0.248370] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000005b8 [ 0.249120] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 0.249717] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: dave.hansen@linux.intel.com Cc: luto@kernel.org Cc: riel@surriel.com Cc: sean.j.christopherson@intel.com Cc: yu-cheng.yu@intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190421183524.GC6048@zn.tnic Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.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.
