kbuild: doc: fix 'List directories to visit when descending' section
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix stale information:

 - Fix the section number in the reference from 6.4 to 7.4.

 - Remove init-y and net-y. They were removed by commit 23febe3
   ("kbuild: merge init-y into core-y") and commit 95fb631
   ("kbuild: merge net-y and virt-y into drivers-y"), respectively.

 - Update the example because arch/sparc64/Makefile does not exit.

Use of lib-y is normally restricted to `lib/` and `arch/*/lib`.

machinery is all architecture-independent.


head-y, init-y, core-y, libs-y, drivers-y, net-y
head-y, core-y, libs-y, drivers-y
$(head-y) lists objects to be linked first in vmlinux.

$(libs-y) lists directories where a lib.a archive can be located.

The rest list directories where a built-in.a object file can be
located.

$(init-y) objects will be located after $(head-y).

Then the rest follows in this order:

$(core-y), $(libs-y), $(drivers-y) and $(net-y).
$(core-y), $(libs-y), $(drivers-y)

The top level Makefile defines values for all generic directories,
and arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile only adds architecture-specific
directories.

Example::

#arch/sparc64/Makefile
core-y += arch/sparc64/kernel/
libs-y += arch/sparc64/prom/ arch/sparc64/lib/
drivers-$(CONFIG_OPROFILE) += arch/sparc64/oprofile/
# arch/sparc/Makefile
core-y += arch/sparc/

libs-y += arch/sparc/prom/
libs-y += arch/sparc/lib/

drivers-$(CONFIG_PM) += arch/sparc/power/
drivers-$(CONFIG_OPROFILE) += arch/sparc/oprofile/
