The uAPI stddef header includes compiler_types.h, a kernel-only header, to make sure that kernel definitions of annotations like __counted_by() take precedence. There is a hack in scripts/headers_install.sh which strips includes of compiler.h and compiler_types.h when installing uAPI headers. While explicit handling makes sense for compiler.h, which is included all over the uAPI, compiler_types.h is only included by stddef.h (within the uAPI, obviously it's included in kernel code a lot). Remove the stripping from scripts/headers_install.sh and wrap the include of compiler_types.h in #ifdef __KERNEL__ instead. This should be equivalent functionally, but is easier to understand to a casual reader of the code. It also makes it easier to work with kernel headers directly from under tools/ Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250825201828.2370083-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
