Michał Górny 73d210e9fa kheaders: make it possible to override TAR 
Commit 86cdd2fdc4 ("kheaders: make headers archive reproducible")
introduced a number of options specific to GNU tar to the `tar`
invocation in `gen_kheaders.sh` script. This causes the script to fail
to work on systems where `tar` is not GNU tar. This can occur e.g.
on recent Gentoo Linux installations that support using bsdtar from
libarchive instead.

Add a `TAR` make variable to make it possible to override the tar
executable used, e.g. by specifying:

  make TAR=gtar

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
