Merge tag 'kbuild-uapi-v4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild UAPI updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "Improvement of headers_install by Nicolas Dichtel.

  It has been long since the introduction of uapi directories, but the
  de-coupling of exported headers has not been completed. Headers listed
  in header-y are exported whether they exist in uapi directories or
  not. His work fixes this inconsistency.

  All (and only) headers under uapi directories are now exported. The
  asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions, but this is a big step
  forward"

* tag 'kbuild-uapi-v4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
  arch/include: remove empty Kbuild files
  uapi: export all arch specifics directories
  uapi: export all headers under uapi directories
  smc_diag.h: fix include from userland
  btrfs_tree.h: fix include from userland
  uapi: includes linux/types.h before exporting files
  Makefile.headersinst: remove destination-y option
  Makefile.headersinst: cleanup input files
  x86: stop exporting msr-index.h to userland
  nios2: put setup.h in uapi
  h8300: put bitsperlong.h in uapi

Each relevant directory contains a file name "Kbuild" which specifies the

headers to be exported.

See subsequent chapter for the syntax of the Kbuild file.



	--- 7.1 header-y



	header-y specifies header files to be exported.



		Example:

			#include/linux/Kbuild

			header-y += usb/

			header-y += aio_abi.h

All headers under include/uapi/, include/generated/uapi/,

arch/<arch>/include/uapi/ and arch/<arch>/include/generated/uapi/

are exported.



	The convention is to list one file per line and

	preferably in alphabetic order.

A Kbuild file may be defined under arch/<arch>/include/uapi/asm/ and

arch/<arch>/include/asm/ to list asm files coming from asm-generic.

See subsequent chapter for the syntax of the Kbuild file.



	header-y also specifies which subdirectories to visit.

	A subdirectory is identified by a trailing '/' which

	can be seen in the example above for the usb subdirectory.

	--- 7.1 no-export-headers



	Subdirectories are visited before their parent directories.

	no-export-headers is essentially used by include/uapi/linux/Kbuild to

	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 generated files to be exported.

	Generated files are special as they need to be looked

	up in another directory when doing 'make O=...' builds.

	genhdr-y specifies asm files to be generated.



		Example:

			#include/linux/Kbuild

			genhdr-y += version.h

			#arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild

			genhdr-y += unistd_32.h

			genhdr-y += unistd_64.h

			genhdr-y += unistd_x32.h



	--- 7.3 destination-y



	When an architecture has a set of exported headers that needs to be

	exported to a different directory destination-y is used.

	destination-y specifies 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.

	mandatory-y is essentially used by include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

	to define the minimun set of headers that must be exported in

	include/asm.



	The convention is to list one subdir per line and

	preferably in alphabetic order.
