From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@...shcourse.ca>
To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>
cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org>
Subject: [PATCH] Drop the exporting of empty <linux/byteorder/generic.h>.
Fix up the contents of <linux/byteorder/> so that it doesn't export a
content-free generic.h to user space. This involves:
* Removing the __KERNEL__ tests from generic.h and dropping it from
Kbuild.
* Wrapping the inclusions of generic.h in both big_endian.h and
little_endian.h in __KERNEL__ tests.
* Shifting big_endian.h and little_endian.h from header-y to
unifdef-y in Kbuild.
Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@...shcourse.ca>
