linux: Fix URL for release candidate versions

2017-08-11T10:35:16+00:00

Starting with 4.12-rc1, tarballs are generated by cgit directly from Linus's tree. This also implies that no .tar.xz can be used for them. This method also applies to older release candidates.

linux: apply xtensa overlay

2017-07-09T15:03:37+00:00

Xtensa core configuration must be added to linux before it can be built for that xtensa CPU variant. Extract configuration files from the xtensa overlay as is done for other packages that need to be configured for a specific xtensa core. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Globally replace $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin with $(HOST_DIR)/bin

2017-07-05T13:19:29+00:00

Since things are no longer installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr, the callers should also not refer to it. This is a mechanical change with git grep -l '$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin' | xargs sed -i 's%$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin%$(HOST_DIR)/bin%g' Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

linux: exclude from hash check except for latest version

2017-06-11T12:13:59+00:00

We don't have a hash for any linux version. We currently also don't have a hash for the latest version, but if we ever add a hash, it will only be for the latest version. This simplifies the code a little because soon we will add hash checks for git as well, so we also need an exclusion in that case. It's much easier to always exclude except in the single case where we do have a hash. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

linux: fix name of config variable

2017-06-08T14:48:53+00:00

In 4c10eedc1 (systemd: enable required kernel features), we added setting a few required kernel features to ensure systemd works. However, there was a typo for one of the variables: CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR was written as CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_XATTR, which does not exist (and never ever existed, at least not since 2.6.12)...

linux: select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS instead of BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE

2017-04-12T19:42:52+00:00

A long time ago, the blind config option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE was introduced to be able to trigger the linux -> host-uboot-tools dependency. Back in those days, there was no user-configurable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS. Now, however, it is possible to select a custom kernel image name that needs uboot-tools, and manually enable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS. In this case, however, the linux -> host-uboot-tools is missed and the build is not reproducible. An example of such a situation is the upcoming CI40 defconfig. As a solution, remove BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE entirely. Instead, just select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS and add the dependency if it is selected. Note that this may introduce a redundant dependency in case the user selected BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS for some other reason (e.g. to be able to generate a U-Boot environment to include in the image, while the kernel is built as a zImage). However, the redundant dependency shouldn't hurt much. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Cc: Abhimanyu Vishwakarma Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

linux: Add CIP SLTS selection option

2017-04-06T20:24:18+00:00

This patch adds an easy way to select the CIP project SLTS kernel within the kernel menu. Signed-off-by: Angelo Compagnucci [Thomas: remove BR2_CIP_KERNEL_REPO_URL option.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

boot, linux, package: use SPDX short identifier for GPLv2/GPLv2+

2017-04-01T13:16:38+00:00

We want to use SPDX identifier for license strings as much as possible. SPDX short identifier for GPLv2/GPLv2+ is GPL-2.0/GPL-2.0+. This change is done by using following command. find . -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -ri '/LICENSE( )?[\+:]?=/s/\/GPL-2.0/g' Signed-off-by: Rahul Bedarkar Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

arch, linux, package: remove whitespaces

2017-03-29T21:30:37+00:00

Whitespaces were searched using the following regex: [ ]{1,}\t and then manually removed in most of the cases. For xserver_xorg-server.mk, tabs before backslashes were removed. Signed-off-by: Bernd Kuhls Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

linux: check that a repo and version is defined when using a custom repo

2016-12-17T14:55:32+00:00

If not set the system will use an empty string which will result in download errors for 'linux-.tar.gz' packages. This patch makes it obvious to the user that the variable needs to be set. Signed-off-by: Christian Kellermann Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
