  3. This directory provides support for the two-pass build. Its primary
  4. purpose is to incorporate source logic generated by applications into the
  5. kernel phase of the build.
  6. In the two pass build, the application logic is built during the first
  7. phase, pass 1. In that phase, the application may generate and install
  8. source files into the pass1/ directory.
  9. The operating system is built during phase 2 of the build. At that time,
  10. those source files in the pass1/ directory will be built and incorporated
  11. into the kernel address space.
  12. The primary purpose of the pass1/ directory is to such application-
  13. generated kernel symbol tables. For an example of the use of this
  14. feature, look at apps/examples/module/drivers/Makefile. Kernel symbol
  15. tables are needed to support kernel modules.
  16. Of course, addition board-specific logic in, say, at
  17. boards/<arch>/<chip>/<board>/src would have to be included to make use of
  18. the application-installed symbol tables.
