Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually detected after the release is out. In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's useless to have an exhaustive list. After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now exported (with make headers_install_all):... snip ...quoted
linux/genwqe/.install linux/genwqe/..install.cmd linux/cifs/.install linux/cifs/..install.cmdI'm pretty sure these should not be exported!Those files are created in every directory: $ find usr/include/ -name '\.\.install.cmd' | wc -l 71
That still does not mean they should be exported. Anything but headers (and directories as a skeleton structure) is maximally suspicious.
