+--- 6.9 Generic header files
+
+        The directory include/asm-generic contains the header files
+        that may be shared between individual architectures.
+        The recommended approach how to use a generic header file is
+        to list the file in the Kbuild file.

 === 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
 
 The kernel include a set of headers that is exported to userspace.
@@ -1270,6 +1280,32 @@ See subsequent chapter for the syntax of the Kbuild file.
         In the example above all exported headers in the Kbuild file
         will be located in the directory "include/linux" when exported.
 
+        --- 7.4 generic-y
+
+        If an architecture uses a verbatim copy of a header from
+        include/asm-generic then this is listed in the file
+        arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild like this:
+
+                Example:
+                        #arch/x86/include/asm/Kbuild
+                        generic-y += termios.h
+                        generic-y += rtc.h
+
+        During the prepare phase of the build a wrapper include
+        file is generated in the directory:
+
+                arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm
+
+        When a header is exported where the architecture uses
+        the generic header a similar wrapper is generated as part
+        of the set of exported headers in the directory:
+
+                usr/include/asm
+
+        The generated wrapper will in both cases look like the following:
+
+                Example: termios.h
+                        #include <asm-generic/termios.h>
