Where is the version.h?
Hi, According to LDD3, the linux/module.h automatically includes the linux/version, which define some macros to help test the kernel version. But I search the source tree, and can not find version.h in include/linux. Where can I find it? Thanks!

It lives in include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h If you've never built a kernel in your tree you won't find it though, because it's created from the Makefile. Look for version_h and filechk_version.h. Regards, Kristof

Accroding to LDD3, version.h is included with the path "linux/version.h", therefore I think the "include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h" might be symbolic linked to "include/linux/version.h" during compilation. Is this the case?

No, the build gets done with a -Iinclude/generated/uapi

It's auto-generated. You need to run at least a 'make prepare' in the kernel tree (though you'll probably want to go ahead and actually build and boot a kernel to develop against).
