kernel: Rearrange for 1.8
In 1.8 we want to streamline the kernel build process. Basically we
currently have multiple copies of the kernel source floating around
and the copying/compression/decompression is painful.
Lets assume we have a kernel source per machine since in most cases
this is true (and we have a sysroot per machine anyway). Basically,
instead of extracting a source into WORKDIR, then copying to a sysroot,
we now set S to point straight at STAGING_DIR_KERNEL.
Anything using kernel source can then just point at it and use:
do_configure[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_patch"
to depend on the kernel source being present. Note this is different
behaviour to DEPENDS += "virtual/kernel" which equates to
do_configure[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_populate_sysroot".
Once we do this, we no longer need the copy operation in
do_populate_sysroot, in fact there is nothing to do there (yay).
The remaining part of the challenge is to kill off the horrible
do_install. This patch splits it off to a different class, the idea here
is to have a separate recipe which depends on the virtual/kernel:do_patch
and just installs and packages the source needed to build modules on
target into a specific package.
Right now this code is proof of concept. It builds kernels and kernel
modules. perf blows up in do_package with issues on finding the kernel
version which can probably be fixed by adding back the right bit of do_install,
and adding a dependency of do_package[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_install"
to perf. The whole thing needs a good write up, the corner cases testing
and probably a good dose of cleanup to the remaining code.
