kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing them

2006-06-24T21:16:45Z

Add option for stripping modules while installing them. This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being installed. CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so. Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install", but that may not work for people who are installing directly into /lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules, so the "make modules_install" never succeeds. This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the modules as they are installed. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior

2006-03-05T23:09:51Z

The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make. Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time, even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make. For more details on the incorrect behavior, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html Changes in this patch: - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY. - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly. - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether targets are up-to-date or not.

kbuild: introduce Kbuild.include

2005-07-25T20:10:36Z

Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build. There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg ---

kbuild: Install external modules in a path relative to their own path

2005-03-10T23:38:55Z

When an external module is being built in down in a directory structure keep the relative directory when installing the module. Example: fs/ contains a Makefile used to build both modules: obj-y := myfs/ oldfs/ Install directories fs/myfs/myfs.ko => Will be installed in /lib/modules//extra/fs/myfs/ fs/oldfs/oldfs.o => Will be installed in /lib/modules//extra/fs/oldfs/ Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: Allow install of external modules to custom path

2004-10-17T01:48:22Z

Currently, a ``make modules_install'' for an external module will install that module into /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra. Allow to override this default by specifying INSTALL_MOD_DIR. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: Fix modules_install

modules_install failed for modules with 'ko' in their name. Fixes this. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: Solaris fixes in various kbuild Makfiles's

2004-08-29T11:32:19Z

Additional Makefile fixes for Solaris 2.8 On Solaris, 'head' doesn't take a -q argument. But we can use 'grep -h' instead, so do that in Makefile.mod{inst,post}. The built-in test to /bin/sh doesn't like 'if ! cmd' syntax, so when determining if we need to do modversion stuff, invert the if/else cases. The built-in test also doesn't understand -ef, so invoke a real version of test which does. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] kbuild: Create .tmp_versions when building external modules

2004-04-13T02:21:59Z

From: Sam Ravnborg When building external modules the $PWD/.tmp_versions directory is used. The .tmp_versions directory in the kernel tree cannot be used because this would clutter up the kernel tree especially when more than one external module is being build for the same kernel tree. This patch make sure to create $PWD/.tmp_versions, and to delete it during make clean. It also removes warning about 'messed with SUBDIRS', this is no longer relevant when .tmp_versions is made outside the kernel tree.
