=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers



The kernel include a set of headers that is exported to userspace.

Many headers can be exported as-is but other headers requires  a

minimal pre-processing before they are ready for user-space.

The pre-processing does:

- drop kernel specific annotations

- drop include of compiler.h

- drop all sections that is kernel internat (guarded by ifdef __KERNEL__)



Each relevant directory contain a file name "Kbuild" which specify the

headers to be exported.

See subsequent chapter for the syntax of the Kbuild file.



	--- 7.1 header-y



	header-y specify header files to be exported.



		Example:

			#include/linux/Kbuild

			header-y += usb/

			header-y += aio_abi.h



	The convention is to list one file per line and

	preferably in alphabetic order.



	header-y also specify which subdirectories to visit.

	A subdirectory is identified by a trailing '/' which

	can be seen in the example above for the usb subdirectory.



	Subdirectories are visited before their parent directories.



	--- 7.2 objhdr-y



	objhdr-y specifies generated files to be exported.

	Generated files are special as they need to be looked

	up in another directory when doing 'make O=...' builds.



		Example:

			#include/linux/Kbuild

			objhdr-y += version.h



	--- 7.3 destination-y



	When an architecture have a set of exported headers that needs to be

	exported to a different directory destination-y is used.

	destination-y specify the destination directory for all exported

	headers in the file where it is present.



		Example:

			#arch/xtensa/platforms/s6105/include/platform/Kbuild

			destination-y := include/linux



	In the example above all exported headers in the Kbuild file

	will be located in the directory "include/linux" when exported.





	--- 7.4 unifdef-y (deprecated)



	unifdef-y is deprecated. A direct replacement is header-y.

is mostly warning-free and is supposed to stay that way.  Warnings will

be generated without __CHECK_ENDIAN__.



__bitwise - noisy stuff; in particular, __le*/__be* are that.  We really
