The linux kernel's exported header files describe the API for user space
|
||
|
|
programs attempting to use kernel services. These kernel header files are used
|
||
|
|
by the system's C library (such as glibc or uClibc) to define available system
|
||
|
|
calls, as well as constants and structures to be used with these system calls.
|
||
|
|
The C library's header files include the kernel header files from the "linux"
|
||
|
|
subdirectory. The system's libc headers are usually installed at the default
|
||
|
|
location /usr/include and the kernel headers in subdirectories under that
|
||
|
|
(most notably /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm). [0]

--[003] The Headers Do Not Match My Kernel Version -----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The kernel headers in KISS are pinned to an LTS kernel version and are only
|
||
|
|
updated when there are changes of interest in the kernel or headers themselves
|
||
|
|
(usually by users requesting new features available in the newer headers).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The headers are backwards compatible and are fully usable with a matching or
|
||
|
|
_newer_ kernel version. There are two cases where you'd be required to update
|
||
|
|
the headers yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. To run a kernel _older_ than the default headers.
|
||
|
|
2. To make use of features in your _newer_ kernel version.
