Visual Studio Code project template for Linux kernel

Visual Studio Code project template for Linux kernel source development and navigation.

Preparation

Install C/C++ extension for Visual Studio Code (In VSCode, Ctrl+Shift+X, search "C/C++")

Build your kernel first (important, it will generate some files that VSCode needed)

make <your-defconfig> # usually in the arch/<arch>/configs/ folder
make -j$(nproc)

Copy .vscode to the linux kernel folder

Alternatively, you could use existing templates x86_64.vscode or arm64.vscode

Modify .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json to make IntelliSense work

Change <arch> to target architecture, for examples:
- arm for ARM 32bit
- arm64 for ARM 64bit
- x86 for both x86 32bit and 64bit
Change <gcc-compile-path> to your gcc compile path, for examples:
- /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc for ARM 64bit
- /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc for x86 64bit
Change <IntelliSenseMode> to the one of following:
- linux-gcc-arm
- linux-gcc-arm64
- linux-gcc-x86
- linux-gcc-x64

Modify .vscode/tasks.json to make build tasks work (Optional)

Change <arch> to target architecture, for examples:
- arm for ARM 32bit
- arm64 for ARM 64bit
- x86 for both x86 32bit and 64bit
Change <cross-compile> to your cross compile path, for examples:
- aarch64-linux-gnu- for ARM 64bit
- x86_64-linux-gnu- for x86 64bit
Change defconfig to your own kernel config

Open with Visual Stdio Code

code .

Show kernel build commands and defines
```
make V=1
```
Specific kernel build output directory
```
make O=<output-dir> [extra_args] ...
```

Change to kernel directory

make -C <kernel-src-dir> [extra_args] ...

Ctrl+P: Search files by name
Ctrl+Shift+F: Search text in files
F1, type Restart IntelliSense For Active File (type Restart and it should autosuggest)
