kbuild: deb-pkg: use debian/ for tmpdir

2024-01-10T11:39:47Z

Use debian/ for tmpdir, which is the default of debhelper. This simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier

kbuild: deb-pkg: move 'make headers' to build-arch

2024-01-10T11:39:06Z

Strictly speaking, 'make headers' should be a part of build-arch instead of binary-arch. 'make headers' constructs ready-to-copy UAPI headers in the kernel directory. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier

kbuild: deb-pkg: use build ID instead of debug link for dbg package

2024-01-05T10:35:38Z

There are two ways of managing separate debug info files: [1] The executable contains the .gnu_debuglink section, which specifies the name and the CRC of the separate debug info file. [2] The executable contains a build ID, and the corresponding debug info file is placed in the .build-id directory. We could do both, but the former, which 'make deb-pkg' currently does, results in complicated installation steps because we need to manually strip the debug sections, create debug links, and re-sign the modules. Besides, it is not working with module compression. This commit abandons the approach [1], and instead opts for [2]. Debian kernel commit de26137e2a9f ("Drop not needed extra step to add debug links") also stopped adding debug links. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: deb-pkg: use more debhelper commands in builddeb

2024-01-05T10:35:38Z

Commit 36862e14e316 ("kbuild: deb-pkg: use dh_listpackages to know enabled packages") started to require the debhelper tool suite. Use more dh_* commands in create_package(): - dh_installdocs to install copyright - dh_installchangelogs to install changelog - dh_compress to compress changelog - dh_fixperms to replace the raw chmod command - dh_gencontrol to replace the raw dpkg-gencontrol command - dh_md5sums to record the md5sum of included files - dh_builddeb to replace the raw dpkg-deb command Set DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT to 'no' in case debian/rules is executed directly.

kbuild: deb-pkg: set DEB_* variables if debian/rules is directly executed

2024-01-05T10:35:30Z

Since commit 491b146d4c13 ("kbuild: builddeb: Eliminate debian/arch use"), direct execution of debian/rules results in the following error: dpkg-architecture: error: unknown option 'DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH' The current code: dpkg-architecture -a$DEB_HOST_ARCH -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH ... does not look sensible because: - For this code to work correctly, DEB_HOST_ARCH must be pre-defined, which is true when the packages are built via dpkg-buildpackage. In this case, DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is also likely defined, hence there is no need to query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in the first place. - If DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is undefined, DEB_HOST_ARCH is likely undefined too. So, you cannot query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in this way. This is mostly the case where debian/rules is directly executed. When debian/rules is directly executed, querying DEB_HOST_MUCHARCH is not enough because we need to know DEB_{BUILD,HOST}_GNU_TYPE as well. All DEB_* variables are defined when the package build is initiated by dpkg-buildpackage, but otherwise, let's call dpkg-architecture to set all DEB_* environment variables. This requires dpkg 1.20.6 or newer because --print-format option was added in dpkg commit 7c54fa2b232e ("dpkg-architecture: Add a --print-format option").

kbuild: deb-pkg: remove the fakeroot builds support

2023-12-10T06:34:37Z

In 2017, the dpkg suite introduced the rootless builds support with the following commits: - 2436807c87b0 ("dpkg-deb: Add support for rootless builds") - fca1bfe84068 ("dpkg-buildpackage: Add support for rootless builds") This feature is available in the default dpkg on Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.

kbuild: refactor kernel-devel RPM package and linux-headers Deb package

2023-07-24T15:59:32Z

The kernel-devel RPM package and the linux-headers Debian package provide headers and scripts needed for building external modules. They copy the necessary files in slightly different ways - the RPM copies almost everything except some exclude patterns, while the Debian copies less number of files. There is no need to maintain different code to do the same thing. Split the Debian code out to scripts/package/install-extmod-build, which is called from both of the packages.

kbuild: deb-pkg: remove the CONFIG_MODULES check in buildeb

2023-06-26T23:31:27Z

When CONFIG_MODULES is disabled for ARCH=um, 'make (bin)deb-pkg' fails with an error like follows: cp: cannot create regular file 'debian/linux-image/usr/lib/uml/modules/6.4.0-rc2+/System.map': No such file or directory Remove the CONFIG_MODULES check completely so ${pdir}/usr/lib/uml/modules will always be created and modules.builtin.(modinfo) will be installed under it for ARCH=um.

kbuild: builddeb: always make modules_install, to install modules.builtin*

2023-06-26T23:31:26Z

Even for a non-modular kernel, the kernel builds modules.builtin and modules.builtin.modinfo, with information about the built-in modules. Tools such as initramfs-tools need these files to build a working initramfs on some systems, such as those requiring firmware. Now that `make modules_install` works even in non-modular kernels and installs these files, unconditionally invoke it when building a Debian package.
