Linux kernel source tree
9b82f13e7e
Right now if SUBLEVEL becomes larger than 255 it will overflow into the territory of PATCHLEVEL, causing havoc in userspace that tests for specific kernel version. While userspace code tests for MAJOR and PATCHLEVEL, it doesn't test SUBLEVEL at any point as ABI changes don't happen in the context of stable tree. Thus, to avoid overflows, simply clamp SUBLEVEL to it's maximum value in the context of LINUX_VERSION_CODE. This does not affect "make kernelversion" and such.

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.
