Create the infrastructure that allow ARCH maintainers to remove all
arch/ARCH/include/asm/XXX.h files or, depending on the architecture,
include/asm-ARCH/XXX.h (e.g. arch/x86/include/asm/errno.h) that only
include the _name equivalent_ include/asm-generic/XXX.h file
(e.g. include/asm-generic/errno.h) with _no_ changes. It was called
generic headers for short. Arnd Bergmann gave the original idea and
asked me to implement it.
To use it just two steps are necessary:
- Remove all the dummy arch/ARCH/include/asm/XXX.h files
(e.g. rm arch/x86/include/asm/errno.h)
- Add the variable generic-y with the names of the removed files
(e.g. generic-y += errno.h) in the arch/ARCH/include/asm/Kbuild
(e.g. arch/x86/include/asm/Kbuild)
The removed files will be automatically generated during the build
process by the script scripts/Makefile.genericheaders.
NOTE: the arch/ARCH/include/asm/XXX.h (or include/asm-ARCH/XXX.h)
file can only be removed if it has the _exact same name_ as the
include/asm-generic/XXX.h file and _no_ additional logic.
