    kheaders: Have cpio unconditionally replace files · 1e8ca62b
    Daniel Mentz authored
    For out-of-tree builds, this script invokes cpio twice to copy header
    files from the srctree and subsequently from the objtree. According to a
    comment in the script, there might be situations in which certain files
    already exist in the destination directory when header files are copied
    from the objtree:
    
    "The second CPIO can complain if files already exist which can happen
    with out of tree builds having stale headers in srctree. Just silence
    CPIO for now."
    
    GNU cpio might simply print a warning like "newer or same age version
    exists", but toybox cpio exits with a non-zero exit code unless the
    command line option "-u" is specified.
    
    To improve compatibility with toybox cpio, add the command line option
    "-u" to unconditionally replace existing files in the destination
    directory.
