>From your libc. Which ought to have its own copies, normally coming from make headers_install in kernel source. And yes, it had been that way for many years by now. Userland should *not* blindly grab the kernel headers. Incidentally, your 'asm' is obviously bogus - the headers that should end up there ought to come from arch/<whatever>/include/uapi/asm (and _not_ by pointing a symlink to it); yours points to the place where asm-generic ones ought to have been copied from. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
