Over time, the use of the flag SYMBOL_AUTO changed from initially marking three automatically generated symbols ARCH, KERNELRELEASE and UNAME_RELEASE to today's effect of protecting symbols from being written out. Currently, only symbols of type CHOICE and those with option defconf_list set have that flag set. Reflect that change in semantics in the flag's name.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
