Add some basic .gitignore files This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone, but gets rid of the bulk of the "generic" generated files that we should ignore. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 2005-10-18 23:26:15 +08:00			`#`

kbuild: generate modules.builtin To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y' or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in obj-Y.

Fix up .gitignore for top-level file patterns Some of the gitignore file patters were explicitly meant to be only for the top level, but weren't marked that way, so they would trigger recursively in subdirectories too. Normally that was harmless, but at least "linux" happened to trigger elsewhere too. Fix it up. And other patterns in that section weren't necessarily top-level at all.

kbuild: support include/generated We need a location for generated files. Today they are spread over several places and bringing them together to a common place makes it obvious hat is generated and what isreal files. Al Viro originally suggested: include/gen Linus suggested to spell it out. This patch implement support for include/generated All files in include/generated are ignored by git. include/generated is removed during "make mrproper". With this we are ready to implement support for include/generated in the various architctures and in the base kernel.

kbuild: asm-generic support There is an increasing amount of header files shared between individual architectures in asm-generic. To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide some basic support in kbuild for this. With the following patch an architecture can maintain a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild To use a generic file just add: generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h> For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm. When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created. The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32 patchset - although a different method is used. The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann. Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.
