I thought commit8e9b466799("kbuild: use $(abspath ...) instead of $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd)") was a safe conversion, but it changed the behavior. $(abspath ...) / $(realpath ...) does not expand shell special characters, such as '~'. Here is a simple Makefile example: ---------------->8---------------- $(info /bin/pwd: $(shell cd ~/; /bin/pwd)) $(info abspath: $(abspath ~/)) $(info realpath: $(realpath ~/)) all: @: ---------------->8---------------- $ make /bin/pwd: /home/masahiro abspath: /home/masahiro/workspace/~ realpath: This can be a real problem if 'make O=~/foo' is invoked from another Makefile or primitive shell like dash.

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.
