  • Install targets (install, zinstall, uinstall) on parisc have a
    dependency to vmlinux. This may cause parts of the kernel to be rebuilt
    during installation. We must avoid this since this may run as root.
    Install targets "ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT MODIFY THE SOURCE TREE." as Linus
    emphasized this in:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/10/600

    So on parisc and maybe other archs we need the same as for x86:

    1648e4f8 x86, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux

    This parisc patch was inspired by:

    19514fc6 arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux

  • The latest PA-RISC Boot Loader (palo) allows loading of gzip compressed
    vmlinuz kernels. So let's now switch to build a vmlinuz file when we
    build a palo boot image.

    PALO version 1.9 (or higher) is required for this which is available at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/palo.git
