The host shared library rules are currently implemented in scripts/Makefile.host, but actually GCC-plugin is the only user of them. (The VDSO .so files are built for the target by different build rules) Hence, they do not need to be treewide available. Move all the relevant build rules to scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile. I also optimized the build steps so *.so is directly built from .c because every upstream plugin is compiled from a single source file. I am still keeping the multi-file plugin support, which Kees Cook mentioned might be needed by out-of-tree plugins. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/11/1107) If the plugin, foo.so, is compiled from two files foo.c and foo2.c, then you can do like follows: foo-objs := foo.o foo2.o Single-file plugins do not need the *-objs notation.

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.
