The automarkup code tries to create a lot of cross-references that don't exist. Cross-reference lookups are expensive, especially in later versions of Sphinx, so there is value in avoiding unnecessary ones. Remember attempts that failed and do not retry them. This improves the htmldocs build time by 5-10% depending on the phase of the moon and other factors.

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.
