-Output files
-
-modules.order
---------------------------------------------------
-This file records the order in which modules appear in Makefiles. This
-is used by modprobe to deterministically resolve aliases that match
-multiple modules.
-
-modules.builtin
---------------------------------------------------
-This file lists all modules that are built into the kernel. This is used
-by modprobe to not fail when trying to load something builtin.
-
-modules.builtin.modinfo
---------------------------------------------------
-This file contains modinfo from all modules that are built into the kernel.
-Unlike modinfo of a separate module, all fields are prefixed with module name.
-
-
-Environment variables
-
-KCPPFLAGS
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional options to pass when preprocessing. The preprocessing options
-will be used in all cases where kbuild does preprocessing including
-building C files and assembler files.
-
-KAFLAGS
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional options to the assembler (for built-in and modules).
-
-AFLAGS_MODULE
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional module specific options to use for $(AS).
-
-AFLAGS_KERNEL
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional options for $(AS) when used for assembler
-code for code that is compiled as built-in.
-
-KCFLAGS
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional options to the C compiler (for built-in and modules).
-
-CFLAGS_KERNEL
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional options for $(CC) when used to compile
-code that is compiled as built-in.
-
-CFLAGS_MODULE
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional module specific options to use for $(CC).
-
-LDFLAGS_MODULE
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional options used for $(LD) when linking modules.
-
-HOSTCFLAGS
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional flags to be passed to $(HOSTCC) when building host programs.
-
-HOSTCXXFLAGS
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional flags to be passed to $(HOSTCXX) when building host programs.
-
-HOSTLDFLAGS
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional flags to be passed when linking host programs.
-
-HOSTLDLIBS
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional libraries to link against when building host programs.
-
-KBUILD_KCONFIG
---------------------------------------------------
-Set the top-level Kconfig file to the value of this environment
-variable. The default name is "Kconfig".
-
-KBUILD_VERBOSE
---------------------------------------------------
-Set the kbuild verbosity. Can be assigned same values as "V=...".
-See make help for the full list.
-Setting "V=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_VERBOSE.
-
-KBUILD_EXTMOD
---------------------------------------------------
-Set the directory to look for the kernel source when building external
-modules.
-Setting "M=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_EXTMOD.
-
-KBUILD_OUTPUT
---------------------------------------------------
-Specify the output directory when building the kernel.
-The output directory can also be specified using "O=...".
-Setting "O=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_OUTPUT.
-
-KBUILD_DEBARCH
---------------------------------------------------
-For the deb-pkg target, allows overriding the normal heuristics deployed by
-deb-pkg. Normally deb-pkg attempts to guess the right architecture based on
-the UTS_MACHINE variable, and on some architectures also the kernel config.
-The value of KBUILD_DEBARCH is assumed (not checked) to be a valid Debian
-architecture.
-
-ARCH
---------------------------------------------------
-Set ARCH to the architecture to be built.
-In most cases the name of the architecture is the same as the
-directory name found in the arch/ directory.
-But some architectures such as x86 and sparc have aliases.
-x86: i386 for 32 bit, x86_64 for 64 bit
-sh: sh for 32 bit, sh64 for 64 bit
-sparc: sparc32 for 32 bit, sparc64 for 64 bit
-
-CROSS_COMPILE
---------------------------------------------------
-Specify an optional fixed part of the binutils filename.
-CROSS_COMPILE can be a part of the filename or the full path.
-
-CROSS_COMPILE is also used for ccache in some setups.
-
-CF
---------------------------------------------------
-Additional options for sparse.
-CF is often used on the command-line like this:
-
- make CF=-Wbitwise C=2
-
-INSTALL_PATH
---------------------------------------------------
-INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map
-images. Default is /boot, but you can set it to other values.
-
-INSTALLKERNEL
---------------------------------------------------
-Install script called when using "make install".
-The default name is "installkernel".
-
-The script will be called with the following arguments:
- $1 - kernel version
- $2 - kernel image file
- $3 - kernel map file
- $4 - default install path (use root directory if blank)
-
-The implementation of "make install" is architecture specific
-and it may differ from the above.
-
-INSTALLKERNEL is provided to enable the possibility to
-specify a custom installer when cross compiling a kernel.
-
-MODLIB
---------------------------------------------------
-Specify where to install modules.
-The default value is:
-
- $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)
-
-The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
-
-INSTALL_MOD_PATH
---------------------------------------------------
-INSTALL_MOD_PATH specifies a prefix to MODLIB for module directory
-relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the
-makefile but the argument can be passed to make if needed.
-
-INSTALL_MOD_STRIP
---------------------------------------------------
-INSTALL_MOD_STRIP, if defined, will cause modules to be
-stripped after they are installed. If INSTALL_MOD_STRIP is '1', then
-the default option --strip-debug will be used. Otherwise,
-INSTALL_MOD_STRIP value will be used as the options to the strip command.
-
-INSTALL_HDR_PATH
---------------------------------------------------
-INSTALL_HDR_PATH specifies where to install user space headers when
-executing "make headers_*".
-The default value is:
-
- $(objtree)/usr
-
-$(objtree) is the directory where output files are saved.
-The output directory is often set using "O=..." on the commandline.
-
-The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
-
-KBUILD_SIGN_PIN
---------------------------------------------------
-This variable allows a passphrase or PIN to be passed to the sign-file
-utility when signing kernel modules, if the private key requires such.
-
-KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN
---------------------------------------------------
-KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid errors in case of undefined
-symbols in the final module linking stage. It changes such errors
-into warnings.
-
-KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL
---------------------------------------------------
-KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
-This is solely useful to speed up test compiles.
-
-KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
---------------------------------------------------
-For modules that use symbols from other modules.
-See more details in modules.txt.
-
-ALLSOURCE_ARCHS
---------------------------------------------------
-For tags/TAGS/cscope targets, you can specify more than one arch
-to be included in the databases, separated by blank space. E.g.:
-
- $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags
-
-To get all available archs you can also specify all. E.g.:
-
- $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS=all tags
-
-KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS
---------------------------------------------------
-If enabled over the make command line with "W=1", it turns on additional
-gcc -W... options for more extensive build-time checking.
-
-KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP
---------------------------------------------------
-Setting this to a date string overrides the timestamp used in the
-UTS_VERSION definition (uname -v in the running kernel). The value has to
-be a string that can be passed to date -d. The default value
-is the output of the date command at one point during build.
-
-KBUILD_BUILD_USER, KBUILD_BUILD_HOST
---------------------------------------------------
-These two variables allow to override the user@host string displayed during
-boot and in /proc/version. The default value is the output of the commands
-whoami and host, respectively.
-
-KBUILD_LDS
---------------------------------------------------
-The linker script with full path. Assigned by the top-level Makefile.
-
-KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS
---------------------------------------------------
-All object files for vmlinux. They are linked to vmlinux in the same
-order as listed in KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS.
-
-KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
---------------------------------------------------
-All .a "lib" files for vmlinux. KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS and KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
-together specify all the object files used to link vmlinux.
