docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:21:21+00:00

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents there are written at different times: some use markdown, some use their own peculiar logic to split sections. Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

kbuild: turn '/' into an alias of './'

2019-02-20T00:42:47+00:00

Commit 06300b21f4c7 ("kbuild: support building individual files for external modules") introduced the '/' target. It works only for external modules to build all .o files, but skip the modpost stage. However, 'make /' looks a bit weird to me. 'make ./' is more sensible if you want to build all objects under the current directory, and it works as expected. Let's change '/' into a phony target that is an alias of './', but I may feel like deprecating it in the future. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: fix typos (s/bin_shipped/bin.o_shipped/) in Documentation

2009-01-07T20:44:23+00:00

The text always mentions ...bin.o_shipped, just the example makefiles actually use ...bin_shipped. It was corrected in one place some time ago, these ones seem to have been forgotten. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS

2008-04-25T18:45:26+00:00

This patch adds a new (Kbuild) Makefile variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS. The space separated list of file names assigned to KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS is used when calling scripts/mod/modpost during stage 2 of the Kbuild process for non-kernel-tree modules.
