      kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory · b1992c37
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
      checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
      difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
      in scripts/Makefile.build:
      
          src := $(obj)
      
      When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
      not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
      resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
      source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
      header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
      passed to the compiler.
      
      This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
      because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
      
      To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
      $(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
      
      Going forward, the variables used ...
