=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
The kernel include a set of headers that is exported to userspace.

In the example above all exported headers in the Kbuild file
will be located in the directory "include/linux" when exported.
+ --- 7.4 generic-y
+
+ If an architecture uses a verbatim copy of a header from
+ include/asm-generic then this is listed in the file
+ arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild like this:
+
+ Example:
+ #arch/x86/include/asm/Kbuild
+ generic-y += termios.h
+ generic-y += rtc.h
+
+ During the prepare phase of the build a wrapper include
+ file is generated in the directory:
+
+ arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm
+
+ When a header is exported where the architecture uses
+ the generic header a similar wrapper is generated as part
+ of the set of exported headers in the directory:
+
+ usr/include/asm
+
+ The generated wrapper will in both cases look like the following:
+
+ Example: termios.h
+ #include <asm-generic/termios.h>
