kbuild: modules-cpio-pkg: Respect INSTALL_MOD_PATH

2026-03-30T05:38:26Z

The modules-cpio-pkg target added in commit 2a9c8c0b59d3 ("kbuild: add target to build a cpio containing modules") is incompatible with initramfs with merged /lib and /usr/lib directories [1]. "/lib" cannot be a link and directory at the same time. Respect a non-empty INSTALL_MOD_PATH in the modules-cpio-pkg target so that `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules-cpio-pkg` results in the same module install location as `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules_install`. Tested with Fedora distribution initramfs produced by dracut.

kbuild: Add top-level target for building gen_init_cpio

2025-12-19T21:58:11Z

Add a top-level target for building gen_init_cpio to prevent re-entering kbuild for 'modules-cpio-pkg'. The recently introduced target 'modules-cpio-pkg' depends on gen_init_cpio but there is no simple way to add this dependency as a prerequisite that can be built in parallel to other recipes. Introducing the top-level target, enables fixing this and also prepares a possible move of gen_init_cpio from usr/ to scripts/.

kbuild: add target to build a cpio containing modules

2025-11-26T20:56:14Z

Add a new package target to build a cpio archive containing the kernel modules. This is particularly useful to supplement an existing initramfs with the kernel modules so that the root filesystem can be started with all needed kernel modules without modifying it.

kbuild: rpm-pkg: disable kernel-devel package when cross-compiling

2024-10-31T12:40:46Z

Since commit f1d87664b82a ("kbuild: cross-compile linux-headers package when possible"), 'make binrpm-pkg' may attempt to cross-compile the kernel-devel package, but it fails under certain circumstances. For example, when CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is enabled on openSUSE Tumbleweed, the following command fails: $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-suse-linux- binrpm-pkg [ snip ] Rebuilding host programs with aarch64-suse-linux-gcc... HOSTCC /home/masahiro/ref/linux/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-6.12.0_rc4-1.aarch64/usr/src/kernels/6.12.0-rc4/scripts/kallsyms HOSTCC /home/masahiro/ref/linux/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-6.12.0_rc4-1.aarch64/usr/src/kernels/6.12.0-rc4/scripts/sorttable HOSTCC /home/masahiro/ref/linux/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-6.12.0_rc4-1.aarch64/usr/src/kernels/6.12.0-rc4/scripts/asn1_compiler HOSTCC /home/masahiro/ref/linux/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-6.12.0_rc4-1.aarch64/usr/src/kernels/6.12.0-rc4/scripts/sign-file /home/masahiro/ref/linux/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-6.12.0_rc4-1.aarch64/usr/src/kernels/6.12.0-rc4/scripts/sign-file.c:25:10: fatal error: openssl/opensslv.h: No such file or directory 25 | #include | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. I believe this issue is less common on Fedora because the disto's cross- compilier cannot link user-space programs. Hence, CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK is unset. On Fedora 40, the package information explains this limitation clearly: $ dnf info gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu [ snip ] Description : Cross-build GNU C compiler. : : Only building kernels is currently supported. Support for cross-building : user space programs is not currently provided as that would massively multiply : the number of packages. Anyway, cross-compiling RPM packages is somewhat challenging. This commit disables the kernel-devel package when cross-compiling because I did not come up with a better solution.

kbuild: pacman-pkg: do not override objtree

objtree is defined and exported by the top-level Makefile. I prefer not to override it. There is no need to pass the absolute path of objtree. PKGBUILD can detect it by itself. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Thomas Weißschuh Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor Reviewed-by: Christian Heusel

kbuild: add script and target to generate pacman package

2024-07-21T16:24:22Z

pacman is the package manager used by Arch Linux and its derivates. Creating native packages from the kernel tree has multiple advantages: * The package triggers the correct hooks for initramfs generation and bootloader configuration * Uninstallation is complete and also invokes the relevant hooks * New UAPI headers can be installed without any manual bookkeeping The PKGBUILD file is a modified version of the one used for the downstream Arch Linux "linux" package. Extra steps that should not be necessary for a development kernel have been removed and an UAPI header package has been added.

kbuild: Fix build target deb-pkg: ln: failed to create hard link

2024-06-25T15:18:57Z

The make deb-pkg target calls debian-orig which attempts to either hard link the source .tar to the build-output location or copy the source .tar to the build-output location. The test to determine whether to ln or cp is incorrectly expanded by Make and consequently always attempts to ln the source .tar. This fix corrects the escaping of '$' so that the test is expanded by the shell rather than by Make and appropriately selects between ln and cp.

kbuild: unexport abs_srctree and abs_objtree

2024-03-10T08:27:17Z

Commit 25b146c5b8ce ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory") exported abs_srctree and abs_objtree to avoid recomputation after the sub-make. However, this approach turned out to be fragile. Commit 5fa94ceb793e ("kbuild: set correct abs_srctree and abs_objtree for package builds") moved them above "ifneq ($(sub_make_done),1)", eliminating the need for exporting them. These are only needed in the top Makefile. If an absolute path is required in sub-directories, you can use $(abspath ) or $(realpath ) as needed.

kbuild: remove the last use of old cmd_src_tar rule in packaging

2023-11-28T02:38:32Z

The rpm-pkg and deb-pkg targets have transitioned to using 'git archive' for tarball creation. Although the old cmd_src_tar is still used by snap-pkg, there is no need to pack and unpack a tarball solely for passing the source to snapcraft. Instead, you can use 'source-type: local' to tell the source location to snapcraft. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
