@ -18,9 +18,9 @@ Preparation before the kernel compilation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many things to prepare before the kernel compilation can be started. The main point here is to find and configure
The type of compilation, to parse command line arguments that are passed to `make`, etc... So let's dive into the top `Makefile` of the Linux kernel.
the type of compilation, to parse command line arguments that are passed to `make`, etc... So let's dive into the top `Makefile` of Linux kernel.
The Linux kernel top `Makefile` is responsible for building two major products: [vmlinux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vmlinux) (the resident kernel image) and the modules (any module files). The [Makefile](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Makefile) of the Linux kernel starts with the definition of the following variables:

These variables determine the current version of the Linux kernel and are used in the different places, for example in the forming of the `KERNELVERSION` variable:
These variables determine the current version of Linux kernel and are used in different places, for example in the forming of the `KERNELVERSION` variable in the same `Makefile`:
```Makefile
KERNELVERSION = $(VERSION)$(if $(PATCHLEVEL),.$(PATCHLEVEL)$(if $(SUBLEVEL),.$(SUBLEVEL)))$(EXTRAVERSION)
```
After this we can see a couple of `ifeq` conditionals that check some of the parameters passed to `make`. The Linux kernel `makefiles` provides a special `make help` target that prints all available targets and some of the command line arguments that can be passed to `make`. For example: `make V=1` - provides verbose builds. The first `ifeq` checks if the `V=n` option is passed to make:
