| |
Since commit 7ecaf069da52 ("kbuild: move headers_check rule to usr/include/Makefile"), the headers_check target is no-op.
This stub target is remaining here in case some scripts still invoke 'make headers_check'. In order to prompt people to remove stale code, show a noisy warning message if used. The stub will be really removed after the Linux 5.15 release.
