kbuild: search arch/$ARCH/include before include/
The namespace used in arch/$ARCH/include is different from what is used in include/ except for the include/asm directory. This patch gives the arch/$ARCH/include/asm directory priority over include/asm. When we add asm-offsets.h to arch/$ARCH/include/asm/ this patch makes sure we pick up the arch specific version and not the one we have in include/asm. The situation with an asm-offsets.h file located in both include/asm _and_ arch/$ARCH/include/asm will happen when we move more files over to include/generated. This happens because in some cases it is not practical to rename all users so we simply add a file in arch/$ARCH/include/asm that includes the generated version. This is the solution we use for asm-offsets.h as an example. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
