commit 0df8e97085946dd79c06720678a845778b6d6bf8 upstream.

A little more janitorial work after commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove
Itanium (IA-64) architecture").

kbuild: deb-pkg: split debian/rules

2023-08-07T16:08:54+00:00

debian/rules is generated by shell, but the escape sequence (\$) is
unreadable.

debian/rules embeds only two variables (ARCH and KERNELRELEASE).

Split them out to debian/rules.vars, and check-in the rest of Makefile
code to scripts/package/debian/rules.

kbuild: deb-pkg: use Debian compliant shebang for debian/rules

2023-08-07T16:08:54+00:00

Debian Policy "4.9. Main building script: debian/rules" requires
"debian/rules must start with the line #!/usr/bin/make -f". [1]

Currently, Kbuild does not follow this policy.

When Kbuild generates debian/rules, "#!$(command -v $MAKE) -f" is
expanded by shell. The resuling string may not be "#!/usr/bin/make -f".

There was a reason to opt out the Debian policy.

If you run '/path/to/my/custom/make deb-pkg', debian/rules must also be
invoked by the same Make program. If #!/usr/bin/make were hard-coded in
debian/rules, the sub-make would be executed by a possibly different
Make version.

This is problematic due to the MAKEFLAGS incompatibility, especially the
job server flag. Old Make versions used --jobserver-fds to propagate job
server file descriptors, but Make >= 4.2 uses --jobserver-auth. The flag
disagreement between the parent/child Makes would result in a process
fork explosion.

However, having a non-standard path in the shebang causes another issue;
the generated source package is not portable as such a path does not
exist in other build environments.

This commit solves those conflicting demands.

Hard-code '#!/usr/bin/make -f' in debian/rules to create a portable and
Debian-compliant source package.

Pass '--rules-file=$(MAKE) -f debian/rules' when dpkg-buildpackage is
invoked from Makefile so that debian/rules is executed by the same Make
program as used to start Kbuild.

kbuild: add a phony target to run a command with Kbuild env vars

2023-07-24T15:59:32+00:00

There are some cases where we want to run a command with the same
environment variables as Kbuild uses. For example, 'make coccicheck'
invokes scripts/coccicheck from the top Makefile so that the script can
reference to ${LINUXINCLUDE}, ${KBUILD_EXTMOD}, etc. The top Makefile
defines several phony targets that run a script.

We do it also for an internally used script, which results in a somewhat
complex call graph.

One example:

 debian/rules binary-arch
   -> make intdeb-pkg
      -> scripts/package/builddeb

It is also tedious to add a dedicated target like 'intdeb-pkg' for each
use case.

Add a generic target 'run-command' to run an arbitrary command in an
environment with all Kbuild variables set.

The usage is:

  $ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND=

The concept is similar to:

  $ dpkg-architecture -c 

This executes  in an environment which has all DEB_* variables
defined.

Convert the existing 'make intdeb-pkg'.

Another possible usage is to interrogate a Make variable.

  $ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND='echo $(KBUILD_CFLAGS)'

might be useful to see KBUILD_CFLAGS set by the top Makefile.

kbuild: give up untracked files for source package builds

2023-04-10T23:58:45+00:00

When the source tree is dirty and contains untracked files, package
builds may fail, for example, when a broken symlink exists, a file
path contains whitespaces, etc.

Since commit 05e96e96a315 ("kbuild: use git-archive for source package
creation"), the source tarball only contains committed files because
it is created by 'git archive'. scripts/package/gen-diff-patch tries
to address the diff from HEAD, but including untracked files by the
hand-crafted script introduces more complexity. I wrote a patch [1] to
make it work in most cases, but still wonder if this is what we should
aim for.

To simplify the code, this patch just gives up untracked files. Going
forward, it is your responsibility to do 'git add' for what you want in
the source package. The script shows a warning just in case you forgot
to do so. It should be checked only when building source packages.

kbuild: use git-archive for source package creation

2023-03-16T13:46:12+00:00

Commit 5c3d1d0abb12 ("kbuild: add a tool to list files ignored by git")
added a new tool, scripts/list-gitignored. My intention was to create
source packages without cleaning the source tree, without relying on git.

Linus strongly objected to it, and suggested using 'git archive' instead.
[1] [2] [3]

This commit goes in that direction - Remove scripts/list-gitignored.c
and rewrites Makefiles and scripts to use 'git archive' for building
Debian and RPM source packages. It also makes 'make perf-tar*-src-pkg'
use 'git archive' again.

Going forward, building source packages is only possible in a git-managed
tree. Building binary packages does not require git.

kbuild: deb-pkg: use dh_listpackages to know enabled packages

2023-03-15T06:15:07+00:00

Use dh_listpackages to get a list of all binary packages.

With this, debian/control lists which binary packages will be produced.
Previously, ARCH=um listed linux-libc-dev in debian/control, but it
was not generated because each of mkdebian and builddeb independently
maintained the if-conditionals.

Another motivation is to allow scripts/package/builddeb to get the
package name (linux-image-*, etc.) dynamically from debian/control.

This will also allow the BuildProfile to control the generation of
the binary packages.
