gendwarfksyms: Document build dependencies

[PATCH v2 0/2] gendwarfksyms: Document build dependencies

Posted by Jihan LIN via B4 Relay 3 weeks, 3 days ago

Hi,

I found there is no documentation for build dependencies in gendwarfksyms
while digging into Rust drivers. Though Yuli added libdw-dev to the build
dependencies for packaging [1], it seems that there is no documentation
about it.

This series documents the build dependencies of gendwarfksyms, adds a few
examples for installing these dependencies on some distributions and
introduces indentation style cleanup as suggested.

Please look out for regression or issue reports or other follow up
comments, as they may result in the patch/series getting dropped or
reverted. Patches applied to an "unstable" branch are accepted pending
wider testing in -next and any post-commit review; they will generally
be moved to the main branch in a week if no issues are found.
