As a whole, this series is amazing.  Thanks for your great work!


I added some comments, but they are trivial.




I wanted to leave comments/questions on 10/11,
but I could not find 10/11 in my mailbox.  I do not know why.


I am leaving comments on the cover-letter,
the following are related to 10/11.



[1]

>                ))

What is this actually checking?

If ARCH has its own (uapi/)asm/{kvm.h,kvm_para.h,a.out.h},
they are added to mandatory-y, then they are checked if they exist.
But, we know they exist.


This check reminds us only when we added asm/*.h
but forgot to add uapi/asm/*.h

$(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/uapi/asm/$(hdr) seems unneeded at least.
(perhaps, the whole hunk might be unneeded.)

This series intends all headers are exported from uapi/, correct?
Do we still need to check $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/*.h ?
(related to [1])

Going forward, header-y will be never used
because uapi/ is exported by default.

So, I wonder if we could rename this into something clearer.

Kbuild supports "no-clean-files".
(Please see ./Kbuild for its usage)
I guess this notation seems clearer
when we want to negate the default behavior.

Can you consider "no-export", "no-export-files", "no-export-headers"
or whatever you like?




Thanks!
