更新Linux内核头文件(linux headers)

一般来说，如果不是自己编译kernel，那么更新头文件是比较容易的事情，在Ubuntu/Fedora等操作系统上，可以直接安装相应的linux-headers软件包，下面就演示了在Ubuntu上安装内核头文件的过程。

master@jay-intel:~/workspace/c-study$ uname -r
3.2.0-33-generic
master@jay-intel:~/workspace/c-study$ apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

linux-headers-3.2.0-33-generic is already the newest version.
linux-headers-3.2.0-33-generic set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 331 not upgraded.

然而，如果自己编译Linux kernel并用它启动了系统，然后为了让本地程序基于当前kernel的headers来编译，就需要自己手动更新内核的头文件了。手动更新linux headers的步骤如下：
1. 在Linux kernel目录中，执行“make headers_install”命令，将headers安装到当前目录的usr/include/下面。
2. 将以前的headers备份：包括/usr/include/目录下的asm，asm-generic,linux等目录。
3. 将刚才生成的当前编译内核目录下的usr/include/中的asm，asm-generic,linux等目录复制到/usr/include/目录下即可。
（当然如果还需要更新其他的目录的头文件，也都可以一起复制过去。）

操作演示如下：

[root@jay-linux kvm.git]# make headers_install
