From: Yann Droneaud
Date: Mon Sep 15 2014 - 08:36:44 EST


Documentation in kbuild/headers_install.txt is not up to date
regarding paths where the headers are installed.

This patch fixes the documention with the correct information.

kernel source code (or using a standard out-of-tree build). It takes two
optional arguments:

- make headers_install ARCH=i386 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include
+ make headers_install ARCH=i386 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr

ARCH indicates which architecture to produce headers for, and defaults to the
-current architecture. The linux/asm directory of the exported kernel headers
+current architecture. Note: the asm/ directory of the exported kernel headers
is platform-specific.

-INSTALL_HDR_PATH indicates where to install the headers. It defaults to
-"./usr/include".
+INSTALL_HDR_PATH indicates where to create include/ directory to install the
+headers. It defaults to "./usr/".

The command "make headers_install_all" exports headers for all architectures
simultaneously. (This is mostly of interest to distribution maintainers,
who create an architecture-independent tarball from the resulting include
directory.) You also can use HDR_ARCH_LIST to specify list of architectures.
