why is there still so much __KERNEL__ testing in include/uapi/?

continuing down this road of exporting kernel headers, under include/uapi/ (and mostly further under linux/), there's still a *ton* of testing of the __KERNEL__ preprocessor check. now, i realize that when one does "make headers_install", all those files are run through "unifdef" to sanitize

Hi Greg, Nothing wrong, I was looking if we have such channel(in case I am not aware of) for any quick discussion of some topic/queries. But ya, mailing list could be used as well. Thanks Ritesh On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 7:54 AM, Greg KH wrote: > On Tue, May 24, 2016 at

exporting kernel headers via the include/uapi directory

next question about exporting kernel headers, this one related to the content placed under include/uapi/. is there any rationale for header files to be living under include/uapi/ if they're not listed in the corresponding Kbuild file for export? for example, in include/uapi/drm, there are

some simple(?) questions about Kbuild and installing kernel headers

for various reasons, i'm poring over the grotty details of the installation of kernel headers, so a couple questions before i get any further into the code. first, is there any value to a Kbuild file with no content? for example, here's the entirety of arch/cris/include/arch-v10/arch/Kbuild:
