Linux kernel stable tree

KFENCE is not a security mitigation mechanism (due to sampling), but has the performance characteristics of unintrusive hardening techniques. When used at scale, however, it improves overall security by allowing kernel developers to detect heap memory-safety bugs cheaply.

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.
