    kbuild: hardcode genksyms path and remove GENKSYMS variable · 88110713
    Masahiro Yamada 提交于
    The genksyms source was integrated into the kernel tree in 2003.
    
    I do not expect anybody still using the external /sbin/genksyms.
    Kbuild does not need to provide the ability to override GENKSYMS.
    
    Let's remove the GENKSYMS variable, and use the hardcoded path.
    
    Since it occurred in the pre-git era, I attached the commit message
    in case somebody is interested in the historical background.

      | kbuild: [PATCH] put genksyms in scripts dir
      |
      | This puts genksyms into scripts/genksyms/.
      |
      | genksyms used to be maintained externally, though the only possible user
      | was the kernel build. Moving it into the kernel sources makes it easier to
      | keep it uptodate, like for example updating it to generate linker scripts
      | directly instead of postprocessing the generated header file fragments
      | with sed, as we do currently.
      |
      | Also, genksyms does not handle __typeof__, which needs to be fixed since
      | some of the exported symbol in the kernel are defined using __typeof__.
