• f8fa70f39   arm64: localise Image objcopy flags ... Browse Code »

  We currently define OBJCOPYFLAGS in the top-level arm64 Makefile, and
  thus these flags will be passed to all uses of objcopy, kernel-wide, for
  which they are not explicitly overridden. The flags we set are intended
  for converting vmlinux (and ELF) into Image (a raw binary), and thus the
  flags chosen are problematic for some other uses which do not expect a
  raw binary result, e.g. the upcoming lkdtm rodata test:

  http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2016/06/08/2

  This patch localises the objcopy flags such that they are only used for
  the vmlinux -> Image conversion.

  For the same reason as commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make "make
  install" not depend on vmlinux"), the install targets should never
  trigger the rebuild of the kernel.

• 0723c05fb   arm64: enable more compressed Image formats ... Browse Code »

  Plumb up Makefile arguments for the already supported formats in the kbuild
  system: lz4, bzip2, lzma, and lzo.

  Note that just as with Image.gz, these images are not self-decompressing and
  the booting firmware still needs to handle decompression before launching the
  kernel image.

• da4cbc6d5   arm64: use new common dtc rule ... Browse Code »

  The current rules have the .dtb files build in a different directory
  from the .dts files. This patch changes arm64 to use the generic dtb
  rule which builds .dtb files in the same directory as the source .dts.

  This requires moving parts of arch/arm64/boot/Makefile into newly created
  arch/arm64/boot/dts/Makefile, and updating arch/arm64/Makefile to call the
  new Makefile.
