kernel.bbclass: Find the kernel consistently.

2011-08-26T19:34:12+00:00

Use KERNEL_OUTPUT variable to find the generated kernel image rather than
duplicating the existing path. This also means it can be overridden simply.

kernel.bbclass: support kernel image type of vmlinux.gz

2011-08-26T19:34:02+00:00

Add support for a gzipped vmlinux kernel by specifying:

  KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "vmlinux.gz"

image.bbclass, kernel.bbclass: remove non-standard -n option from cp command

2011-08-24T01:32:24+00:00

-n is not a POSIX option and does not work on some systems (e.g. Debian
Lenny); in any case it is not strictly necessary here, so remove it.

kernel.bbclass: save kernel image name into $kerneldir

2011-08-24T01:23:16+00:00

Save the kernel image name into sysroot so it can be used during image
build if need. This is used by O.S. Systems products and probably
useful to others.

image.bbclass, kernel.bbclass: create warning file about deleting deploydir files

2011-08-18T20:45:43+00:00

New users sometimes delete files in tmp/deploy/images assuming they will
be re-created just by re-running the build, and then are confused when
this doesn't work. To discourage people from doing this, create a file
called README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt in
tmp/deploy/images containing an explanation of what needs to be done to
re-create files there.

Fixes [YOCTO #1315] and [YOCTO #1346].

kernel: restore crtsavres.o to enable building external modules on powerpc

2011-08-17T14:46:16+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #1276]

As of Linux kernel version 3.0.1, and much earlier, the make clean target
removes arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o. As this object is present in
KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE, it is required to build external modules, and should
therefor not be removed by make clean.

While I do not advocate fixing buggy kernels in the generic kernel classes,
we should probably account for this one in kernel.bbclass as it affects
such a long list of kernel versions.

kernel,module-base.bbclass: Improve KERNEL_LD & KERNEL_AR variables

2011-08-05T16:15:39+00:00

KERNEL_LD was using ${LD} in it's definition, which is not correct for
different ABIs such as x32 or i386 on x86_64 machine. This brings it
into sync with the corresponding gcc settings, likewise the same with
the KERNEL_AR variable.

kernel: copy defconfig to {B} vs {S}

2011-07-22T10:47:44+00:00

For kernel's that use a split source/object build the copy
of defconfig to {S} in the base kernel class is problematic.
The previous solution for this was to override the do_configure
of the base kernel class in a subclass. While this is still
a viable/valid option, it does mean that changes to the base
do_configure will be missed.

The solution to this is to copy a defconfig to {B} which is
typically the same as {S}, so most kernel recipes won't see or
care about this change.

With this change in place, linux-yocto.bbclass can drop its
override of do_configure.

Tested with linux-yocto and oe linux recipes.
