kbuild: introduce destination-y for exported headers
xtensa and arm have asked for a possibility to export headers and locate them in a specific directory when exported. Introduce destiantion-y to support this. This patch in additiona adds some limited documentation for the variables used for exported headers.

=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
|
||||
|
||||
=== 7 Kbuild Variables
|
||||
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.
