kbuild: doc: replace arch/$(ARCH)/ with arch/$(SRCARCH)/
Precisely speaking, the arch directory is specified by $(SRCARCH), not $(ARCH). In old days, $(ARCH) actually matched to the arch directory because 32-bit and 64-bit were supported as separate architectures. Most architectures (except arm/arm64) were unified like follows: arch/i386, arch/x86_64 -> arch/x86 arch/sh, arch/sh64 -> arch/sh arch/sparc, arch/sparc64 -> arch/sparc To not break the user interface, commit 6752ed90da03 ("Kbuild: allow arch/xxx to use a different source path") introduced SRCARCH to point to the arch directory, still allowing to pass in the former ARCH=i386 or ARCH=x86_64. Update the documents for preciseness, and add the explanation of SRCARCH. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
