• 3b1ec9fb8   kbuild: gen_init_cpio expands shell variables in file names ... Browse Code »

  Modify gen_init_cpio so that lines that specify files can contain
  what looks like a shell variable that's expanded during processing.

  For example:

  file /sbin/kinit ${RFS_BASE}/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0

  given RFS_BASE is "/some/directory" in the environment

  would be expanded to

  file /sbin/kinit /some/directory/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0

  If several environment variables appear in a line, they are all expanded
  with processing happening from left to right.
  Undefined variables expand to a null string.
  Syntax errors stop processing, letting the existing error handling
  show the user offending line.

  This patch helps embedded folks who frequently create several
  RFS directories and then switch between them as they're tuning
  an initramfs.

  Treat an argument of "-" as meaning "read stdin for cpio files" so
  gen_init_cpio can be piped into.

• 24fa50961   [PATCH] usr/gen_init_cpio.c: support for hard links ... Browse Code »

  Extend usr/gen_init_cpio.c "file" entry, adding support for hard links.

  Previous format:
  file

  New format:
  file []

  The hard links specification is optional, keeping the previous
  behaviour.

  All hard links are defined sequentially in the resulting cpio and the
  file data is present only in the last link. This is the behaviour of
  GNU's cpio and is supported by the kernel initramfs extractor.

  Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio.c spotted by coverity
  checker. This fixes coverity bug #86

  Without this patch we risk dereferencing a NULL `type' in the
  "if ('\n' == *type) {" line.

  Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
  even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
  archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
  3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
  git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
  infrastructure for it.

  Let it rip!
