- raise minimum supported binutils version to 2.23
- remove old CONFIG_AS_* macros that we know binutils >= 2.23 supports
- move remaining CONFIG_AS_* tests to Kconfig from Makefile
- enable -Wtautological-compare warnings to catch more issues
- do not support GCC plugins for GCC <= 4.7
- fix various breakages of 'make xconfig'
- include the linker version used for linking the kernel into
LINUX_COMPILER, which is used for the banner, and also exposed to
/proc/version
- link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y,
which allows us to remove the lib-ksyms.o workaround, and to
solve the last known issue of the LLVM linker
- add dummy tools in scripts/dummy-tools/ to enable all compiler
tests in Kconfig, which will be useful for distro maintainers
- support the single switch, LLVM=1 to use Clang and all LLVM utilities
instead of GCC and Binutils.
- support LLVM_IAS=1 to enable the integrated assembler, which is still
experimental

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.
