kernel: Fix depmod for multilib

2015-01-29T15:35:47+00:00

Using populate_sysroot for this data was a nice idea but flawed as it
doesn't work in multilib builds. Instead we can use PKGDATA_DIR since
this is consistent over multilib builds. It also turns out to be
slightly neater code too. Hopefully this resolves the problem once and
for all.

kmod: new PACKAGECONFIG debug and logging to help reduce binary size.

2015-01-28T21:22:22+00:00

debug and logging will make kmod and its library bigger than expected
due many strings in the resulting binaries. While these are useful for
development, they are of no use for deployment.

With them enabled kmod is 154Kb, libkmod is 99Kb. Disabling reduces to
kmod 139Kb (10%) and libkmod 83Kb (19%) on i586 stripped.

kernel/image/depmodwrapper: Fixups for depmod

2015-01-23T14:31:56+00:00

With the rpm package backend enabled, running:

bitbake 
bitbake virtual/kernel -c clean
bitbake  -c rootfs -f

results in an image with incorrect kernel module dependency information.
The problem is that the System.map and kernel-abiversion files are needed
for depmod and after the recent kernel changes, these are no longer in
sstate.

Its reasonable to require the kernel to unpack/build if you're
about to build a module against it. It is not reasonable to require this
just to build a rootfs.

Therefore stash the needed files specifically for depmod.

Also fix some STAGING_KERNEL_DIR references which were incorrect, found
whilst sorting through his change.

kmod: fix debuginfo is missing in shared library

2014-11-04T10:19:56+00:00

INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP variable will make debuginfo lose in shared library.
The test cases of kmod contain kernel modules for many different architectures,
strip and arch gets confused and throws errors. Pack kernel modules in test
cases to avoid strip command failed.

Globally replace 'base_contains' calls with 'bb.utils.contains'

2014-04-25T16:10:58+00:00

The base_contains is kept as a compatibility method and we ought to
not use it in OE-Core so we can remove it from base metadata in
future.
