Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE when building a kernel

I have tested this locally - but it would
be good if someone with different habits than me try it
out before it hits -next.

So far it works for me.

Last time I tries this it failed in strange ways in different setups.
But I think I have addressed this by postponing the settings to *config
time _after_ including the arch specific makefile.

This patch is a prerequisite for a small serie of patches to clean up
how we handle generated files.

Sam

Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE when building a kernel

When building a kernel for a different architecture
kbuild requires the user always to specify ARCH and
CROSS_COMPILE on the command-line.

We use the asm symlink to detect if user forgets to
specify the correct ARCH value - but that symlink
is about to die. And we do now want to loose this check.

This patch save the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
in a file named ".kbuild".
The settings are saved during "make *config" time
and always read.

If user try to change the settings we error out.

This works both for plain builds and for O=...
builds.
So now you can do:
$ mkdir sparc64
$ make O=sparc64 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- defconfig
$ cd sparc64
$ make

Notice that you no longer need to tell kbuild
the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE when you type make
in the output directory.
Likewise for plain builds where you do not use O=...

If I were to do:

$ make O=foo-build INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install install

after that, would that still use the CROSS_COMPILE setting used before?

If so, that would break my build. Because arch/x86/boot/install.sh does:

if [ -x ~/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel ]; then exec ~/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel "$@"; fi

Which will not match my:

make CROSS_COMPILE="distcc ${ARCH}-linux-" -j $DISTCC_SLOTS "$@"

even when $ARCH is the right one for the machine in question.

You are right that this would fail.....
And we would not be able to override the value of CROSS_COMPILE as kbuild
will error out is we try to change that.

We have 5 archs that does the above so this needs to be addressed somehow.

The best solution I can come up with right now would be
to fall back to the native version if the CROSS_COMPILE version
does not exist.

Then the only situation where this would not work is if you use
distcc/ccache to build your kernel for another architecture and you
want to use the kbuild supplied install.sh script to install it.
Because you cannot override the old CROSS_COMPILE setting.

Maybe the right solution would be to add specific support for distcc/ccache
to overcome this if it turns out to be a real issue.

Suggested patch for x86 below.

Patch is only RFC for now. If we can agree on this I will patch all relevant archs.

Won't that still get upset if CROSS_COMPILE has whitespace in it, which
would form weird filenames etc.. or worse, it might match ~/bin/distcc

The root cause of this is the use of CROSS_COMPILE for the installkernel
script.
We know that the CROSS_COMPILE prefix changes with the toolcahin and
likely is a very personal thing.
So rather than using CROSS_COMPILE we should let the user override
the installkernel script used.

The simplest replacement is the following patch which solves this and
only people relying on the use of CROSS_COMPILE for installkernel
needs to change anything.

Needs to change the other ~20 uses of installkernel if we agree on
this change.

This is the patch I have cooked up.
I will push that to kbuild-next soon if there is no futher comments.

Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built -
it would no longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter for this hint]

This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 - but all changes
looks obvious.
