-                       Linux kernel ABI/API checker
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-I. Introduction
-===============
-
-   "abi-checker" is a simple set of tools to:
-- test changes in Linux kernel API/ABI.
-- test compatibility kernel module wth kernel
-- creates dump for external kernel modules with list of kernel symbols
-  used by the module.
-
-
-II. Application/scripts
-=======================
-
-1. abi-checker
-
-   The application can be run in the following modes:
-   - "test-kernel" - in the mode compares two Module.symvers files.
-                   In case if some changes have been detected the
-                   application creates report containg list of changed symbols
-                   (added/changed/removed). Additionally summary ireport with
-                   total number symbols, itotal number changed/modified/removed
-                   symbols is created.
-
-                   Usage:
-                     abi-checker test-kernel file1 file2
-
-                   Return values:
-                     0 - if Module.symvers are identical
-                     1 - if some changes have been detected.
-
-   - "build-list" - in the mode the applications creates file containing linux kernel
-                   symbols uses by the module.
-                   As input the application expect:
-                   - kernel Module.symvers file
-                   - module symbols file - each line of the file has
-                     name of the module symbol.
-
-                   As output the application creates file in format like "Modules.symvers".
-
-                   Usage:
-                     abi-checker build-list Module.symvers kernel_symbols_file output_file
-
-                   Return:
-                     0 - success
-                     1 - any error
-
-   - "dump-module" - in the mode the application directly extracts from *.ko file
-                   symbols and creates file in format like Module.symvers containing list
-                   of kernel symbols used by the module.
-
-                   Usage:
-                     abi-checker dump-module Module.symvers module_ko_file output_file
-
-                   Return:
-                     0 - success
-                     1 - any error
-
-   - "test-module" - in the mode the application compares kernel "Module.symvers" file
-                   with external module "Module.symvers" file. In case of any differences
-                   list of changed/removed symbols is reported. Additionally summary info
-                   with numer total number symbols, total number changed/modified/removed
-                   symbols is created also.
-
-                   Usage:
-                     abi-checker test-module kernel_Module.symvers module_Module.symvers
-
-                   Return:
-                     0 - if all module symbols are identical with kernel symbols
-                     1 - if some changes have been detected.
-
-2. abi-module-checker - helper script. It simplify API/API checks for kernel module. Internally
-                  the script call abi-checker in "test-module" mode. The script assumes that in
-                  /boot/abi directory is present ABI/API repository for linux kernel.
-
-                  Usage:
-                    abi-module-checker kernel_module_abi_file
-
-                  Return:
-                    0 - if module API/ABI file is compatible with current kernel
-                    1 - in case if module is not compatible with current kernel or error
-
-3. abi-module-dumper - helper script. It simplify ABI/API module dump file creation. The script
-                  assumes that in /boot/abi directory is present ABI/API repository for linux kernel.
-
-                  Usage:
-                    abi-module-dumper _module_ko_file_ _output_file_
-
-                  Return:
-                    0 - success
-                    1 - any error
-
-4. abi-module-kernels-list - helper script. The script reporst all kernel version compatible
-                  with the given kernel module. The script assumes that in /boot/abi directory
-                  is present ABI/API repository for linux kernel.
-
-                  Usage:
-                    abi-module-kernels-list _module_abi_file_
-
-                  Return:
-                    0 - success
-                    1 - any error
-
-III. Module.symvers file format
-===============================
-
-   Each line of the Module.symvers file has the folloing format:
-
-	symbol_name<tab>symbol_crc<tab>module_name<tab>additiona_info
-
-Example:
-	...
-	0x27e1a049      printk  vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL
-	0xf85bebf9      dev_printk_emit vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL
-	...
-
-IV. Kernel ABI/API repository
-=============================
-
-   The ABI/API repository is located in /boot/abi direcotry. The repository contains list of all
-ABI/API versions (also for historical kernel versions).
-   The repository contains list of files which names are in format abi_${KERNELVERSION}_${ABIVERSION}.
-ABI/API file for current kernel version is marked by current symbolic link.
-
-V. Kernel ABI/API repository
-============================
-
-   Directory tools/abi-checker/data ABI/API Module.symvers for current and older kernel version.
-Module.symvers for current kernel version is indicated by current symbolic link.
