[PATCH] samples: run headers_install for host arch instead of target arch

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Fri Sep 28 2018 - 02:51:16 EST


Some samples search headers in $(objtree)/usr/include, which is made
available by "make headers_install". It is not kernel-space code but
host programs that need this header search path.

Commit 3fca1700c4c3 ("kbuild: make samples really depend on
headers_install") is wrong because it installs headers of the target
architecture. Besides, UML fails to build with CONFIG_SAMPLES=y
because UML does not support headers_install.

Invoke "make headers_install" for the _host_ architecture in the
prepare stage. Introduce CONFIG_HOST_HEADERS_INSTALL so that this
happens only for samples that need it.

I also removed 'Documentation/: headers_install', which I guess is
stale code.

Fixes: 3fca1700c4c3 ("kbuild: make samples really depend on headers_install")
