git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild Pull kbuild changes from Michal Marek: "The main part of kbuild for v3.7 contains: - Fix for scripts/Makefile.modpost to not choke on a '.ko' substring in the build directory path - Two warning fixes (modpost and main Makefile) - __compiletime_error works also with gcc 4.3 - make tar{gz,bz2,xz}-pkg uses default compression settings instead of saving as many bytes as possible (this should actually be in the misc branch, I don't know why I applied it here)." * 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: compiler-gcc4.h: correct verion check for __compiletime_error modpost: Permit .GCC.command.line sections Kbuild: use normal compression settings for tar*-pkg scripts/Makefile.modpost: error in finding modules from .mod files. kbuild: Remove useless warning while appending KCFLAGS
2012-09-27Kbuild: use normal compression settings for tar*-pkgAndi Kleen
For large kernel configurations (like a distribution kernel) targz-pkg takes a quite long time to just do the compression. I clocked it at 15+mins for a SUSE kernel like config on a fast system. And tarxz and bzip2 are even slower. The main reason is that the script that is doing the taring sets the highest compression level (-9). When I change it to just use the defaults the gzip time for the same kernel goes down to ~3 mins. I haven't tested xz and bzip, but I expect those to be much faster too. I'm not willing to wait that long for a small compression gain. So just change the script to use the defaults.

Instead of creating the debian package for the compiling userland, create it for a userland matching the kernel thats being compiled. This patch supports all Lenny release architectures, and Linux-based architecture candidates for Squeeze. If it can't find a proper Debian userspace it displays a warning, and fallback to let deb-gencontrol use the host's userspace arch. Eg. with this patch the following make command: make ARCH=i386 deb-pkg will output an i386 Debian package instead of an amd64 one, when run on an amd64 machine.

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.

2009-12-12scripts/package: deb-pkg: use fakeroot if availableJonathan Nieder
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.

2009-12-12scripts/package: add KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD variableJonathan Nieder
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"'.

2009-12-12scripts/package: tar-pkg: use tar --owner=rootMichal Marek
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.
