Some files seem missing when trying to use scripts/generate_binding.py

[MouriNaruto]

In the latest scripts/generate_binding.py, we know we need the following files in Linux kernel source code to generate the bindings.

• include/hyperv/hvgdk_mini.h
• include/hyperv/hvgdk.h
• include/hyperv/hvhdk_mini.h
• include/hyperv/hvhdk.h
• include/linux/mshv.h

I am confused because I cannot find these files in the latest mainline Linux kernel source code. So, I need some help.

We're still in the process of usptreaming our code.

Thanks, I have found them in the link you provided successfully. The original hvgdk and hvhdk headers in the link is MIT licensed. I am really excited about that because I am planning a book which talks about how to develop UEFI applications and Unikernel style OS for Hyper-V Gen 2 VMs.

But I also hope standalone version of hvgdk and hvhdk headers can be existed. (For example, use something portable headers like stdint.h to define integers, and keep the original Hyper-V header coding style instead of Linux kernel coding style.) I think it will help more Hyper-V users.
