Subject: [PATCH] Add CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK option to automatically run 'make headers_check'
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0f836e5fecf59d0d0353e9af11fd14a32a3001ae;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] Add CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK option to automatically run 'make headers_check'

In order to encourage people to notice when they break the exported
headers, add a config option which automatically runs the sanity checks
when building vmlinux.  That way, those who use allyesconfig will notice
failures.
