Revision 054ea4ce0016bcb560a25e6e94de95538954a4a8 authored by Thomas Petazzoni on 18 May 2017, 08:07:38 UTC, committed by Marc Zyngier on 22 June 2017, 13:13:32 UTC
Since the overall logic of the driver to handle the global and per-CPU
masking of the interrupts is far from trivial, this commit adds a long
comment detailing how the hardware operates and what strategy the
driver implements on top of that.

#
# Kbuild for top-level directory of the kernel
# This file takes care of the following:
# 1) Generate bounds.h
# 2) Generate timeconst.h
# 3) Generate asm-offsets.h (may need bounds.h and timeconst.h)
# 4) Check for missing system calls
# 5) Generate constants.py (may need bounds.h)

#####
# 1) Generate bounds.h

	$(call if_changed_dep,cc_s_c)

# 2) Generate timeconst.h

# 3) Generate asm-offsets.h
#
