    kbuild: unconditionally clobber include/linux/version.h on distclean · 9c8cdb71
    Paul Gortmaker 提交于
    As of v3.7, the UAPI changes relocated headers around such that the
    kernel version header lived in a new place.
    
    If a person is bisecting and if you go back to pre-UAPI days,
    you will create an include/linux/version.h  -- then if you checkout a
    post-UAPI kernel, and even run "make distclean" it still won't delete
    that old version file.  So you get a situation like this:
    
    $ grep -R LINUX_VERSION_CODE include/
    include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 200192
    include/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132646
    
    The value in that second line is representative of a v2.6.38 version.
    And it will be sourced/used, hence leading to strange behaviours, such
    as drivers/staging content (which typically hasn't been purged of version
    ifdefs) failing to build.
    
    Since it is a subtle mode of failure, lets always clobber the old
    file when doing a distclean.
