After upgrading mypy and pytype from pip, we see 2 new errors when running ./tools/testing/kunit/run_checks.py. Error #1: mypy and pytype They now deduce that importlib.util.spec_from_file_location() can return None and note that we're not checking for this. We validate that the arch is valid (i.e. the file exists) beforehand. Add in an `asssert spec is not None` to appease the checkers. Error #2: pytype bug https://github.com/google/pytype/issues/1057 It doesn't like `from datetime import datetime`, specifically that a type shares a name with a module. We can workaround this by either * renaming the import or just using `import datetime` * passing the new `--fix-module-collisions` flag to pytype. We pick the first option for now because * the flag is quite new, only in the 2021.11.29 release. * I'd prefer if people can just run `pytype <file>` Signed-off-by: Daniel Latypov <dlatypov@google.com> Reviewed-by: Brendan Higgins <brendanhiggins@google.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.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.
