'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=&lt;nproc&gt; 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.

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

<id>urn:sha1:4b970e436523ed34da4ced74ad2b81e5a4f573f2</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &gt;= 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.

<title>kbuild: rpm-pkg: skip build dependency check on non-rpm systems</title>

Commit 8818039f959b ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable
using koji") added the BuildRequires: field.

Checking the build dependency is fine, but one annoyance is that
'make (bin)rpm-pkg' fails on non-rpm systems [1]. For example, Debian
provides rpmbuild via 'apt install rpm', but of course cannot meet the
requirement listed in the BuildRequires: field.

It is possible to pass RPMOPTS=--nodeps to work around it, but it is
reasonable to do it automatically.

If 'rpm -q rpm' fails, it is not an RPM-managed system. (The command
'rpm' is not installed at all, or was installed by other means.)

In that case, pass --nodeps to skip the build dependency check.

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.

Currently, 'make rpm-pkg' always builds the kernel from the pristine
source tree in the ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/ directory.

Build the kernel incrementally just like 'make binrpm-pkg'.

Use kernel.spec for binrpm-pkg as well.

scripts/package/mkspec preprocesses the spec file by sed, but it is
unreadable. This commit removes the last portion of the sed scripting.

Remove the $S$M prefixes from the conditionally generated lines.
Instead, surround the code with %if %{with_devel} ... %endif.

To reduce the preprocess of the spec file, invoke the kernel build
from rpmbuild.

Run init/build-version to increment the release number not only for
binrpm-pkg but also for srcrpm-pkg and rpm-pkg.

<title>kbuild: add a phony target to run a command with Kbuild env vars</title>

<id>urn:sha1:76a48b8ffbad5cb24ce3fab517a24f555b3c9616</id>

There are some cases where we want to run a command with the same
environment variables as Kbuild uses. For example, 'make coccicheck'
invokes scripts/coccicheck from the top Makefile so that the script can
reference to ${LINUXINCLUDE}, ${KBUILD_EXTMOD}, etc. The top Makefile
defines several phony targets that run a script.

We do it also for an internally used script, which results in a somewhat
complex call graph.

One example:

 debian/rules binary-arch
   -&gt; make intdeb-pkg
      -&gt; scripts/package/builddeb

It is also tedious to add a dedicated target like 'intdeb-pkg' for each
use case.

Add a generic target 'run-command' to run an arbitrary command in an
environment with all Kbuild variables set.

The usage is:

  $ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND=&lt;command&gt;

The concept is similar to:

  $ dpkg-architecture -c &lt;command&gt;

This executes &lt;command&gt; in an environment which has all DEB_* variables
defined.

Convert the existing 'make intdeb-pkg'.

Another possible usage is to interrogate a Make variable.

  $ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND='echo $(KBUILD_CFLAGS)'

might be useful to see KBUILD_CFLAGS set by the top Makefile.

<title>kbuild: rpm-pkg: do not hard-code $MAKE in spec file</title>

Currently, $MAKE will expand to the GNU Make program that created the
source RPM. This is problematic if you carry it to a different build
host to run 'rpmbuild' there.

Consider this command:

  $ /path/to/my/custom/make srcrpm-pkg

The spec file in the SRPM will record '/path/to/my/custom/make', which
exists only on that build environment.

To create a portable SRPM, the spec file should avoid hard-coding $MAKE.
