kbuild: rpm-pkg: simplify installkernel %post

2025-07-06T09:00:16+00:00

commit 358de8b4f201bc05712484b15f0109b1ae3516a8 upstream. The new installkernel application that is now included in systemd-udev package allows installation although destination files are already present in the boot directory of the kernel package, but is failing with the implemented workaround for the old installkernel application from grubby package. For the new installkernel application, as Davide says: <> But we need to keep the old behavior as well, because the old installkernel application from grubby package, does not allow this simplification and we need to be backward compatible to avoid issues with the different packages. Mimic Fedora shipping process and store vmlinuz, config amd System.map in the module directory instead of the boot directory. In this way, we will avoid the commented problem for all the cases, because the new destination files are not going to exist in the boot directory of the kernel package. Replace installkernel tool with kernel-install tool, because the latter is more complete. Besides, after installkernel tool execution, check to complete if the correct package files vmlinuz, System.map and config files are present in /boot directory, and if necessary, copy manually for install operation. In this way, take into account if files were not previously copied from /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/* scripts and if the suitable files for the requested package are present (it could be others if the rpm files were replace with a new pacakge with the same release and a different build). Tested with Fedora 38, Fedora 39, RHEL 9, Oracle Linux 9.3, openSUSE Tumbleweed and openMandrive ROME, using dnf/zypper and rpm tools. cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Co-Developed-by: Davide Cavalca Signed-off-by: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kbuild: remove stale code for 'source' symlink in packaging scripts

2023-10-01T14:06:06+00:00

Since commit d8131c2965d5 ("kbuild: remove $(MODLIB)/source symlink"), modules_install does not create the 'source' symlink. Remove the stale code from builddeb and kernel.spec. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: fix kernel-devel RPM package and linux-headers Deb package

2023-09-14T17:39:24+00:00

Since commit fe66b5d2ae72 ("kbuild: refactor kernel-devel RPM package and linux-headers Deb package"), the kernel-devel RPM package and linux-headers Deb package are broken. I double-quoted the $(find ... -type d), which resulted in newlines being included in the argument to the outer find comment. find: 'arch/arm64/include\narch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include': No such file or directory The outer find command is unneeded.

kbuild: deb-pkg: support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=N in debian/rules

2023-08-29T13:29:35+00:00

'make srcdeb-pkg' generates a source package, which you can build later by using dpkg-buildpackage. In older dpkg versions, 'dpkg-buildpackage --jobs=N' sets not only DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS but also MAKEFLAGS. Hence, passing -j or --jobs to dpkg-buildpackage was enough for kicking the parallel execution. The behavior was changed by commit 1d0ea9b2ba3f ("dpkg-buildpackage: Change -j, --jobs semantics to non-force mode") of dpkg project. [1] Since then, 'dpkg-buildpackage --jobs=N' sets only DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, which is not parsed by the current debian/rules. To build the package in parallel, you need to pass the alternative --jobs-force option or set the MAKEFLAGS environment variable. Debian policy [2] suggests the following code snippet for debian/rules. ifneq (,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) NUMJOBS = $(patsubst parallel=%,%,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) MAKEFLAGS += -j$(NUMJOBS) endif I tweaked the code to filter out parallel=1 and passed --jobs=1 to dpkg-buildpackage from scripts/Makefile.package. It is needed to force 'make deb-pkg' without the -j option to run in serial. Please note that dpkg-buildpackage sets parallel= in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS by default (that is, --jobs=auto is the default) and --jobs=1 is needed to restore the serial execution. When dpkg-buildpackage is invoked from Kbuild, the number of jobs is inherited from the top level Makefile. Passing --jobs=1 to dpkg-buildpackage allows debian/rules to skip parsing DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

kbuild: deb-pkg: split debian/rules

2023-08-07T16:08:54+00:00

debian/rules is generated by shell, but the escape sequence (\$) is unreadable. debian/rules embeds only two variables (ARCH and KERNELRELEASE). Split them out to debian/rules.vars, and check-in the rest of Makefile code to scripts/package/debian/rules. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier

kbuild: deb-pkg: use Debian compliant shebang for debian/rules

2023-08-07T16:08:54+00:00

Debian Policy "4.9. Main building script: debian/rules" requires "debian/rules must start with the line #!/usr/bin/make -f". [1] Currently, Kbuild does not follow this policy. When Kbuild generates debian/rules, "#!$(command -v $MAKE) -f" is expanded by shell. The resuling string may not be "#!/usr/bin/make -f". There was a reason to opt out the Debian policy. If you run '/path/to/my/custom/make deb-pkg', debian/rules must also be invoked by the same Make program. If #!/usr/bin/make were hard-coded in debian/rules, the sub-make would be executed by a possibly different Make version. This is problematic due to the MAKEFLAGS incompatibility, especially the job server flag. Old Make versions used --jobserver-fds to propagate job server file descriptors, but Make >= 4.2 uses --jobserver-auth. The flag disagreement between the parent/child Makes would result in a process fork explosion. However, having a non-standard path in the shebang causes another issue; the generated source package is not portable as such a path does not exist in other build environments. This commit solves those conflicting demands. Hard-code '#!/usr/bin/make -f' in debian/rules to create a portable and Debian-compliant source package. Pass '--rules-file=$(MAKE) -f debian/rules' when dpkg-buildpackage is invoked from Makefile so that debian/rules is executed by the same Make program as used to start Kbuild.

kbuild: rpm-pkg: refactor *rpm-pkg targets

2023-07-24T15:59:33+00:00

Merge the similar build targets. Also, make the output location consistent. Previously, source packages were created in the build directory, while binary packages under ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/. Now, Kbuild creates the rpmbuild/ directory in the build directory, and saves all packages under it. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
