[RFC] Consistently use the name asm-offsets.h

From: Sam Ravnborg
Date: Thu Sep 08 2005 - 16:14:51 EST


Today all architectures expect 3 generate an asm-offsets.h file.
The exceptions are: frv, m32r, sparc64

Most architectures uses a name similar to asm_offsets.h with small
differences. A few uses asm-consts.h and a few uses '-' instead of '_'.

I suggest moving all the logic required to build the asm-offsets.h file
to a common places and do proper search&replace in architectures to make
the naming consitent. For frv, m32r and sparc64 we will need to create a
dummy file until they start using asm-offsets.h

The input file is consistently named asm-offsets.c so I plan to use the
name asm-offsets.h all over the place.

Sample patch for i386 (without renaming) below.
Notice that the chunk deleted from arch/i386/Makefile will be the same
for all architectures.

And as an added bonus introducing the below we finally get all
dependencies automatically tracked for the asm-offsets.h file.
This had slipped my mind for a long time but I was remineded when
I thougt about what dependencies could have been missed when using
bisect support in git.

If there is no objections I will see if I can have it ready before -rc1.
It's the dependency thing that want me to have is added soon.

The Kbuild file in the top-level directory is planned to be extended over
time. For now it contains only the asm-offsets stuff.
