Kernel developers often need to diagnose remote customer systems with the latest turbostat, yet customers are running binary distros with out-dated turbostat and the customer has no experience cloning linux kernel trees. Add a turbostat "snapshot" makefile target to create a standalone source snapshot from the developer's git tree, appropriately hacked so that the customer can build turbostat without a kernel tree. Include the turbostat binary in the snapshot, for convenience in those situations where the source and destination are trusted, (and have new enough glibc to execute). The snapshot is named with the date it was taken rather than the turbostat VERSION, as it could occur between VERSIONS... Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
