kbuild: Fix make rpm

2010-07-21T14:06:05+00:00

make rpm was broken by commit 0915512:
make clean
set -e; cd ..; ln -sf /usr/src/iwlwifi-2.6 kernel-2.6.35rc4wl
/bin/sh /usr/src/iwlwifi-2.6/scripts/setlocalversion --scm-only >
/usr/src/iwlwifi-2.6/.scmversion
cat: .scmversion: input file is output file
make[1]: *** [rpm] Error 1

kbuild: Clean up and speed up the localversion logic

2010-06-18T12:23:21+00:00

Now that we run scripts/setlocalversion during every build, it makes
sense to move all the localversion logic there. This cleans up the
toplevel Makefile and also makes sure that the script is called only
once in 'make prepare' (previously, it would be called every time due to
a variable expansion in an ifneq statement). No user-visible change is
intended, unless one runs the setlocalversion script directly.

This patch creates the standard md5sums file for 'make deb-pkg' just
like the dh_md5sums debhelper script.

scripts: use %_tmppath in "make rpm-pkg"

2010-02-02T13:33:56+00:00

The mkspec script hardcodes "/var/tmp" into the generated rpm spec file's
BuildRoot. The user, however, may have a custom setting for %_tmppath,
which should be used in BuildRoot.  This patch changes mkspec's
BuildRoot output to appropriately use %_tmppath.

scripts/package: deb-pkg: use fakeroot if available

2009-12-12T12:08:16+00:00

Running "make deb-pkg" requires setting KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD or
becoming root oneself or it errors out.  Unless already running
as root or KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD is already set, use fakeroot as a
good default.

With this patch applied, you can run "make oldconfig deb-pkg" as
an ordinary user to build a binary package for an updated kernel
tree and it should just work.

fakeroot is too zealous by default in treating files as owned by
root.  Its wrapped stat() sets st_uid and st_gid to 0 for all
files, which causes Git to go on a wild goose chase if
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set, checking if any file's content
has changed along with its stat information.  Avoid this by
telling fakeroot to use the actual owner and group for
preexisting files, by passing it the -u option.

scripts/package: add KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD variable

2009-12-12T12:08:15+00:00

Let the deb-pkg target acquire (fake) root privileges before
running commands that need them.  Without such privileges,
deb-pkg errors out because chown fails.

The new KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD variable, if defined, is used as a
command to run other commands with possibly fake elevated
privileges.  Since this is not needed for the tar-pkg and rpm-pkg
targets, it is only used by deb-pkg.  If it is not defined, the
behavior is as before, and the user will have to rerun make as
root.

In other words, as a shortcut, instead of running 'make oldconfig &&
make && fakeroot -u make deb-pkg', one can use the single command
'make oldconfig deb-pkg KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD="fakeroot -u"'.

scripts/package: tar-pkg: use tar --owner=root

2009-12-12T12:08:15+00:00

Use the --owner= and --group= options to make sure the entries in
the built tar file are owned by root.  Without this change, a
careless sysadmin using the tar-pkg target can easily end up
installing a kernel that is writable by the unprivileged user
account used to build the kernel.

Test that these options are understood before using them so that
non-GNU versions of tar can still be used if the operator is
appropriately cautious.
