It is possible to build MMU-less kernels for Cortex-M base microcrontrollers as well as a couple of older platforms that have not been converted to CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, specifically ep93xx, footbridge, dove, sa1100 and s3c24xx. It seems unlikely that anybody has tested those configurations in recent years, as even building them is frequently broken. A patch I submitted caused another build time regression in this configuration. I sent a patch for that, but it seems better to also remove the option entirely, leaving ARMv7-M as the only supported Arm NOMMU target for simplicity. A couple of platforms have dependencies on CONFIG_MMU, those can all be removed now. Notably, mach-integrator tries to support MMU-less CPU cores, but those have not actually been selectable for a long time. This addresses several build failures in randconfig builds that have accumulated over the years.

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.
