2014-08-27kbuild: handle module compression while running 'make modules_install'.Bertrand Jacquin
Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic. This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz. Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that way we can save some more bytes. On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config : | time | +-------------+-----------------+ | manual .ko | make | size | percent | compression | modules_install | | gain +-------------+-----------------+------+-------- - | | 18.61s | 378M | GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41% XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83% The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module, that is generally done only once. This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

2012-10-19kbuild: sign the modules at install timeRusty Russell
Linus deleted the old code and put signing on the install command, I fixed it to extract the keyid and signer-name within sign-file and cleaned up that script now it always signs in-place. Some enthusiast should convert sign-key to perl and pull x509keyid into it. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-08-31scripts/Makefile.modpost: error in finding modules from .mod files.이건호
This error may happen when the user's id or path includes .ko string. For example, user's id is xxx.ko and building test.ko module, the test.mod file lists ko name and all object files. /home/xxx.ko/kernel_dev/device/drivers/test.ko /home/xxx.ko/kernel_dev/device/drivers/test_main.o /home/xxx.ko/kernel_dev/device/drivers/test_io.o ... Current Makefile.modpost and Makefile.modinst find and list up not only test.ko but also other object files. because all of object file's path includes .ko string. This is a patch to fix it.

2008-12-19kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.koJan Beulich
This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation. One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object: passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.

2008-01-28kbuild: fix installing external modulesSam Ravnborg
Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> reported: Installing external modules is supposed to put them in some path under /lib/modules/<version>/extra/subdir/, but this change: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/?PAGE=cset&REV=1.1982.9.23 makes them go under /lib/modules/<version>/extrasubdir (for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in /lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko) This was the case only when specifying a trailing slash to M=.. Fixed by removing trailing slash if present so we correctly match dir part of target. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>
2006-06-24kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing themTheodore Ts'o
Add option for stripping modules while installing them. This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being installed. CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so. Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install", but that may not work for people who are installing directly into /lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules, so the "make modules_install" never succeeds. This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the modules as they are installed. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-03-05kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behaviorPaul Smith
The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make. Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time, even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make. For more details on the incorrect behavior, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html Changes in this patch: - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY. - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly. - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether targets are up-to-date or not.

2005-07-25kbuild: introduce Kbuild.includeSam Ravnborg
Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build. There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> ---

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
