      kbuild: save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE when building a kernel · 57554334
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      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 two files named:
      
          include/generated/kernel.arch
          include/generated/kernel.cross
      
      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=...

      kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script · caa27b66
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      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 Z. for this hint]
      
      This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
      
        0f8e2d62
        ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
      
      The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
      looks obvious.
