kernel.bbclass: Find the kernel consistently.

2011-08-29T12:48:07+00:00

Use KERNEL_OUTPUT variable to find the generated kernel image rather than duplicating the existing path. This also means it can be overridden simply. (From OE-Core rev: de5b502330ded38c0efe2c4e30967ef12dbad72a) Signed-off-by: Mike Crowe Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: support kernel image type of vmlinux.gz

2011-08-29T12:48:02+00:00

Add support for a gzipped vmlinux kernel by specifying: KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "vmlinux.gz" (From OE-Core rev: cb17b6c2a72f260c61b0ec46887c2a04ac5b3f80) Signed-off-by: Mike Crowe Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

image.bbclass, kernel.bbclass: remove non-standard -n option from cp command

2011-08-24T01:32:39+00:00

-n is not a POSIX option and does not work on some systems (e.g. Debian Lenny); in any case it is not strictly necessary here, so remove it. (From OE-Core rev: 13e14763f14b5b84051ecb158404dcef937cc4e0) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: save kernel image name into $kerneldir

2011-08-24T01:23:34+00:00

Save the kernel image name into sysroot so it can be used during image build if need. This is used by O.S. Systems products and probably useful to others. (From OE-Core rev: 19a587cb98a20f0e659483541fc8cec874f6afa9) Signed-off-by: Otavio Salvador Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

image.bbclass, kernel.bbclass: create warning file about deleting deploydir files

2011-08-19T16:29:18+00:00

New users sometimes delete files in tmp/deploy/images assuming they will be re-created just by re-running the build, and then are confused when this doesn't work. To discourage people from doing this, create a file called README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt in tmp/deploy/images containing an explanation of what needs to be done to re-create files there. Fixes [YOCTO #1315] and [YOCTO #1346]. (From OE-Core rev: 4316c5e9eec67d71f4699102a63a5f968bd8d1d9) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel: restore crtsavres.o to enable building external modules on powerpc

2011-08-17T14:56:07+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #1276] As of Linux kernel version 3.0.1, and much earlier, the make clean target removes arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o. As this object is present in KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE, it is required to build external modules, and should therefor not be removed by make clean. While I do not advocate fixing buggy kernels in the generic kernel classes, we should probably account for this one in kernel.bbclass as it affects such a long list of kernel versions.

kernel,module-base.bbclass: Improve KERNEL_LD & KERNEL_AR variables

2011-08-05T16:16:03+00:00

KERNEL_LD was using ${LD} in it's definition, which is not correct for different ABIs such as x32 or i386 on x86_64 machine. This brings it into sync with the corresponding gcc settings, likewise the same with the KERNEL_AR variable.

kernel: copy defconfig to {B} vs {S}

2011-07-22T10:51:03+00:00

For kernel's that use a split source/object build the copy of defconfig to {S} in the base kernel class is problematic. The previous solution for this was to override the do_configure of the base kernel class in a subclass. While this is still a viable/valid option, it does mean that changes to the base do_configure will be missed. The solution to this is to copy a defconfig to {B} which is typically the same as {S}, so most kernel recipes won't see or care about this change. With this change in place, linux-yocto.bbclass can drop its override of do_configure. Tested with linux-yocto and oe linux recipes.
