kernel.bbclass, module-base.bbclass: Use CC to form KERNEL_CC

2013-01-20T12:58:56+00:00

kernel compiler is not special and we currently have it so we want to pass -march and -mtune options as CFLAGS to kernel build so that compiler picks the right subarch flags when compiling assembly files in particular. Otherwise defaults are chosen which may not be right in many case e.g. when compiling kernel for collie machine we should use arch=armv4 but it uses toolchain/as defaults which is armv5te in some case e.g. thumb1 we know that kernel can not be compiled in thumb1 mode so we can provide that information e.g. -marm option through KERNEL_HOST_CC_ARCH variable as we do now (From OE-Core rev: c49f967384ccbfe131bbb33ee518014f3fc4b38f) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: remove references to update-modules

2013-01-18T13:28:08+00:00

Since update-modules is now obsolete, remove it from the bbclass. [YOCTO #3598] (From OE-Core rev: 323146c7fdf1c47241f3fd5adab2cb3c6d24b56c) Signed-off-by: Laurentiu Palcu Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: don't depend on DATETIME

2013-01-17T20:16:46+00:00

* http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=67e77cd948c69798695d5d5f34163ef89339b35a moved DATETIME dependency from MODULE_TARBALL_BASE_NAME to MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME but without copying that vardepsexclude (From OE-Core rev: 9a93866067253746a889bfe444b6036cf85944b4) Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: Define MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME for layer convenience.

2013-01-10T23:43:14+00:00

Define the additional variable MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME since some layers (like meta-ti) would find it handy for multi-kernel definitions in that they wouldn't have to define their own variable representing exactly the same thing.

kernel.bbclass: kernel_do_install fails with kernel <2.6.30

2013-01-10T23:43:09+00:00

* kernels <2.6.30 don't have $kerneldir/tools directory * so we got this error: * sed: can't read ...SNIP...linux/2.6.30-r0/image/usr/src/kernel/tools/perf/Makefile: No such file or directory * ERROR: Function failed: do_install (From OE-Core rev: 4dd39a23dfe069ad34a925e00407b4dde978cb01) Signed-off-by: Marco Cavallini Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: include PE in KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME

2013-01-07T11:09:38+00:00

* without this you it's harder to see which kernel is newer version e.g. after branch change LOCALCOUNT in SRCPV is reset to 0, so it needs PE bump for upgrade path but then it's clear why gitr1+HASH has newer DATETIME then gitrN+HASH, so include PE in name * it will sort alphabetically wrong in deploy dir for a while until old images are removed (From OE-Core rev: 3b5fe6d2cd58b5db70c3d319ffc66b1cbff1f43a) Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: Allow modules*.tar.gz generation to be inhibited

2012-12-19T17:54:51+00:00

The modules.tar.gz archive is sometimes of no value and it can take a noticeable time to build if many modules were enabled in the kernel configuration. The extraneous file also contributes to deploy/ clutter and is a waste of disk space. Allow it to be suppressed by setting MODULE_TARBALL_DEPLOY="0".

kernel.bbclass: use the same versioning schema for modules.tgz and provide link to latest

2012-12-19T17:54:51+00:00

* so it will work look KERNEL_IMAGE * also we were recreating modules.tgz with every kernel build, but overwritting the same output file (From OE-Core rev: 73f242a61f913a0b0cd88265cd9ff6bcf3924623) Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: Do not chdir to /boot before running update-alternatives

2012-10-22T13:59:30+00:00

The symlink from uImage-3... to uImage is not created at image creation time and not properly update on kernel upgrades. This is fixed by removing the chdir. The other users of update-alternative do not change the directory before calling it. (From OE-Core rev: c77ca9ee901468c93570b5264b226f7d17a41c16) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: add kernel-modules to PACKAGES

2012-10-19T22:06:26+00:00

* kernel-modules is always added to PACKAGES later in python code and needed to be defined as PACKAGES_DYNAMIC * add it to PACKAGES directly and set ALLOW_EMPTY_kernel-modules FILES_kernel-modules DESCRIPTION_kernel-modules outside populate_packages_prepend like for other packages and set only RDEPENDS_kernel-modules from python code (From OE-Core rev: 0884bdbbf39f2b3a8a342918812f29ddcd3b1e6f) Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
