#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# headers_check.pl execute a number of trivial consistency checks
#
# Usage: headers_check.pl dir [files...]
# dir:   dir to look for included files
# arch:  architecture
# files: list of files to check
#
# The script reads the supplied files line by line and:
#
# 1) for each include statement it checks if the
#    included file actually exists.
#    Only include files located in asm* and linux* are checked.
#    The rest are assumed to be system include files.
#
# 2) It is checked that prototypes does not use "extern"
#
# 3) TODO: check for leaked CONFIG_ symbols
