 ----------------------------------------------
 
-	Same as "When host programs are actually built".
+	Kbuild builds userspace programs only when told to do so.
+	There are two ways to do this.
+
+	(1) Add it as the prerequisite of another file
+
+	Example::
+
+		#net/bpfilter/Makefile
+		userprogs := bpfilter_umh
+		$(obj)/bpfilter_umh_blob.o: $(obj)/bpfilter_umh
+
+	$(obj)/bpfilter_umh is built before $(obj)/bpfilter_umh_blob.o
+
+	(2) Use always-y
+
+	Example::
+
+		userprogs := binderfs_example
+		always-y := $(userprogs)
+
+	Kbuild provides the following shorthand for this:
+
+		userprogs-always-y := binderfs_example
+
+	This will tell Kbuild to build binderfs_example when it visits this
+	Makefile.
