=== 6 Architecture Makefiles
--- 6.1 Set variables to tweak the build to the architecture
- --- 6.2 Add prerequisites to prepare:
+ --- 6.2 Add prerequisites to archprepare:
--- 6.3 List directories to visit when descending
--- 6.4 Architecture specific boot images
--- 6.5 Building non-kbuild targets
for loadable kernel modules.
---- 6.2 Add prerequisites to prepare:
+--- 6.2 Add prerequisites to archprepare:
- The prepare: rule is used to list prerequisites that needs to be
+ The archprepare: rule is used to list prerequisites that needs to be
built before starting to descend down in the subdirectories.
This is usual header files containing assembler constants.
Example:
- #arch/s390/Makefile
- prepare: include/asm-$(ARCH)/offsets.h
+ #arch/arm/Makefile
+ archprepare: maketools
- In this example the file include/asm-$(ARCH)/offsets.h will
- be built before descending down in the subdirectories.
+ In this example the file target maketools will be processed
+ before descending down in the subdirectories.

generating offset header files.
