linux: properly install all images in the initramfs case

2016-04-25T19:40:47+00:00

The target "$(LINUX_DIR)/.stamp_initramfs_rebuilt" uses its own 'cp' command, instead of LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE/LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGES_CMDS provided by (or updated with) commit 055e6162bba7 ("linux: don't build appended DTB image in place and support multiple images") and thus is not operating properly when APPENDED_DTB is used. Indeed, it copies a single image, and does not copy the one with the DTB appended. This patch replaces the 'cp' command with LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE which handles APPENDED_DTB.

linux: explicit latest kernel version

2016-04-20T15:35:18+00:00

When setting BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_LATEST_VERSION, it is hard for the user to know that this version is subject to change in the future. Explicit this in the Kconfig entry text. Signed-off-by: Vivien Didelot Acked-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

linux: use zImage by default on ARM

2016-04-05T20:23:54+00:00

Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed, since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address, except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format on ARM. All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.

linux: build and install kernel selftests

2016-03-20T21:04:47+00:00

This patch adds the ability to compile and install the kernel selftests into the target at /usr/lib/kselftests. The rationale behind /usr/lib is that the selftests have subdirectories where they are installed which makes them unsuitable to be placed in /usr/sbin as this would result in /usr/sbin/kselftests/x/y/z. While the selftests aren't libraries either, they don't achieve much as a standalone binary so they can be considered to be a 'library of tests' making /usr/lib sensible. The selftests require that the kernel headers be installed into the kernel build tree as some of the selftests have a hardcoded CFLAGS to include kernel headers (CFLAGS += -I../../../../usr/include/). This is most easily achieved by using the make ... headers_install inside the kernel build dir. This is likely to be a rarely used debugging/performance feature for development and unlikely to be used in a production configuration. Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur Reviewed-by: "Yann E.
