# Building binaries on the host system
# Binaries are used during the compilation of the kernel, for example
# to preprocess a data file.
#
# Both C and C++ are supported, but preferred language is C for such utilities.
# Rust is also supported, but it may only be used in scenarios where a Rust
# toolchain is required to be available (e.g. when `CONFIG_RUST` is enabled).
#
# Sample syntax (see Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst for reference)
# hostprogs := bin2hex
# Will compile bin2hex.c and create an executable named bin2hex
#
# hostprogs := lxdialog
# lxdialog-objs := checklist.o lxdialog.o
# Will compile lxdialog.c and checklist.c, and then link the executable
# lxdialog, based on checklist.o and lxdialog.o
#
# hostprogs := qconf
# qconf-cxxobjs := qconf.o
# qconf-objs := menu.o
# Will compile qconf as a C++ program, and menu as a C program.
# They are linked as C++ code to the executable qconf
#
# hostprogs := target
# target-rust := y
# Will compile `target` as a Rust program, using `target.rs` as the crate root.
# The crate may consist of several source files.
# C code
# Executables compiled from a single .c file
host-csingle := $(foreach m,$(hostprogs), \
$(if $($(m)-objs)$($(m)-cxxobjs)$($(m)-rust),,$(m)))
# C executables linked based on several .o files
host-cmulti := $(foreach m,$(hostprogs),\
$(if $($(m)-cxxobjs)$($(m)-rust),,$(if $($(m)-objs),$(m))))
# Object (.o) files compiled from .c files
host-cobjs := $(sort $(foreach m,$(hostprogs),$($(m)-objs)))
# C++ code
# C++ executables compiled from at least one .cc file
# and zero or more .c files
host-cxxmulti := $(foreach m,$(hostprogs),$(if $($(m)-cxxobjs),$(m)))
# C++ Object (.o) files compiled from .cc files
host-cxxobjs := $(sort $(foreach m,$(host-cxxmulti),$($(m)-cxxobjs)))
# Rust code
# Executables compiled from a single Rust crate (which may consist of
# one or more .rs files)
Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / scripts.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
