I intended to SLIB be a generic one, not only for the arch/lib, as we discussed during v2 patch. but, you're right: for the moment, no one uses SLIB, we don't visit init/Kconfig, I dropped config SLIB entry from init/Kconfig. > > +source "net/Kconfig" > > + > > +source "drivers/base/Kconfig" > > + > > +source "crypto/Kconfig" > > + > > +source "lib/Kconfig" > > + > > + > > Trailing empty lines. deleted. thanks. > > diff --git a/arch/lib/Makefile b/arch/lib/Makefile > > new file mode 100644 > > index 0000000..d8a0bf9 > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/arch/lib/Makefile > > @@ -0,0 +1,251 @@ > > +ARCH_DIR := arch/lib > > +SRCDIR=$(dir $(firstword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))) > > Do you use SRCDIR? no. deleted the line. > > +DCE_TESTDIR=$(srctree)/tools/testing/libos/ > > +KBUILD_KCONFIG := arch/$(ARCH)/Kconfig > > I think you copied this from arch/um/Makefile.

I think a cleaner way is to follow the way of arch/um, like below: I deleted processor.mk and PROCESSOR_SIZE variable. ifeq ($(SUBARCH),x86) ifeq ($(shell uname -m),x86_64) CFLAGS+= -DCONFIG_64BIT endif though it's not able to cross-compile yet. again, thank you so much.
