[nn@nndl.org: linux kernel headers]

["Nikolay N. Ivanov" <nn@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I played with macroses from version.h (UTS_RELEASE, LINUX_VERSION_CODE
and KERNEL_VERSION()) and I didn't found UTS_RELEASE in
KERNELSOURCE/include/linux/version.h. But with google's help I've found
that UTS_RELEASE is now in the utsrelease.h. But it's not a question.

My current kernel version is 2.6.22.5 and my sacrifical distro is 
Slackware 11. When I open the /usr/include/linux/version.h file, 
I see the following:

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.33.3"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132129
/* ... */

But in KERNELSOURCE/include/linux/version.h i see:

#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132630
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

And I really can't find include/linux/version.h file while browsing kernel
code in http://lxr.linux.no/source/. And I come to the conclusion, that
this file automatically generates while kernel build.

So, because my attempt to compile module with UTS_RELEASE failed, I
determine that kernel include directory is KERNELSOURCE/include. But my
question is: what difference between KERNELSOURCE/include/linux
directory and /usr/include/linux directory?

Thanx in advance.
