Subject: [PATCH trivial v2] UAPI: Kbuild: add/modify comments for "uapi/Kbuild" and "uapi/linux/Kbuild"
Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2013 08:46:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5227D472.1010100@asianux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <52257A3E.7040001@asianux.com>
"include/uapi/" is the whole Linux kernel API, it is important enough
to get more global explanations by comments.
In "include/uapi/Kbuild", "Makefile..." and "non-arch..." comments are
meaningless for current 'Kbuild', so delete them.
And add more explanations for "include/uapi/" in "include/uapi/Kbuild",
