* arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinuxRobert Richter2013-10-021-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Install targets (install, zinstall, uinstall) on arm have a dependency to vmlinux. This may cause parts of the kernel to be rebuilt during installation. We must avoid this since this may run as root. Install targets "ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT MODIFY THE SOURCE TREE." as Linus emphasized this in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/10/600 So on arm and maybe other archs we need the same as for x86: 1648e4f8 x86, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux This patch fixes this for arm. Dependencies are removed and instead a check to install.sh is added for the files that are needed. This issue was uncovered by this build error where the -j option is used in conjunction with install targets: $ make <makeflags> $ make <makeflags> zinstall ... DEPMOD Usage: .../scripts/depmod.sh /sbin/depmod <kernelrelease> (INSTALL_MOD_PATH and INSTALL_PATH variables set, so no root perms required in this case.) The problem is that zinstall on arm due to its dependency to vmlinux does a prepare/prepare3 and finally does a forced rewrite of kernel.release even if it exists already. Rebuilding kernel.release removes it first and then recreates it. This might race with another parallel make job running depmod. So this patch should fix this one too. Also quoting $(KERNELRELEASE) arg for install.sh as this messes argument order in case it is empty (which is the case if the kernel was not built yet).

* kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel scriptSam Ravnborg2009-09-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

* [PATCH] use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.shIan Campbell2005-06-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch causes the various arch specific install.sh scripts to look for ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel rather than just installkernel (in both /sbin/ and ~/bin/ where the script already did this). This allows you to have e.g. arm-linux-installkernel as a handy way to install on your cross target. It also prevents the script picking up on the host /sbin/installkernel which causes the script to fall through and do the install itself (which is what I actually use myself, with $INSTALL_PATH set). I don't believe it causes back-compatibility problems since calling the host installkernel was never likely to work or be what you wanted when cross compiling anyway. If $CROSS_COMPILE isn't set then nothing changes. I only use ARM and i386 myself but I figured it couldn't hurt to do the whole lot. I've cc'd those who I hope are the arch maintainers for files that I've touched.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-171-0/+52
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
