respectively.
Note: cc-option-yn uses KBUILD_CFLAGS for $(CC) options
- cc-option-align
- gcc versions >= 3.0 changed the type of options used to specify
- alignment of functions, loops etc. $(cc-option-align), when used
- as prefix to the align options, will select the right prefix:
- gcc < 3.00
- cc-option-align = -malign
- gcc >= 3.00
- cc-option-align = -falign
-
- Example:
- KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(cc-option-align)-functions=4
-
- In the above example, the option -falign-functions=4 is used for
- gcc >= 3.00. For gcc < 3.00, -malign-functions=4 is used.
- Note: cc-option-align uses KBUILD_CFLAGS for $(CC) options
-
cc-disable-warning
cc-disable-warning checks if gcc supports a given warning and returns
the commandline switch to disable it. This special function is needed,
avoid exporting specific headers (e.g. kvm.h) on architectures that do
not support it. It should be avoided as much as possible.
- --- 7.2 genhdr-y
-
- genhdr-y specifies asm files to be generated.
-
- Example:
- #arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild
- genhdr-y += unistd_32.h
- genhdr-y += unistd_64.h
- genhdr-y += unistd_x32.h

-
- --- 7.3 generic-y
+ --- 7.2 generic-y
If an architecture uses a verbatim copy of a header from
include/asm-generic then this is listed in the file
Example: termios.h
#include <asm-generic/termios.h>
- --- 7.4 generated-y
+ --- 7.3 generated-y
If an architecture generates other header files alongside generic-y
- wrappers, and not included in genhdr-y, then generated-y specifies
- them.
+ wrappers, generated-y specifies them.
This prevents them being treated as stale asm-generic wrappers and
removed.
