  • 5399eb9b3   dtbsinstall: don't move target directory out of the way ... Browse Code »

    No other kernel installation target moves the target directory out of
    the way, even deleting an old version of it. These are destructive
    operations, ones which the kernel build system should not be making.

    This behaviour prevents being able to do:

    make install INSTALL_PATH=/some/path/boot
    make dtbs_install INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/some/path/boot

    As it causes the boot directory containing the kernel installed in
    step 1 to be moved to /some/path/boot.old. Things get even more fun
    if you do:

    make install dtbs_install INSTALL_PATH=/some/path/boot INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/some/path/boot

    The kernel gets installed into /some/path/boot, then the directory gets
    renamed to /some/path/boot.old, and a new directory created to hold the
    dtbs. Even more fun if you supply -j2 when we end up with races in
    make.

    Remove this behaviour.

    If this behaviour is required at installation time, this should be
    done by the installation external to the kernel makefiles, just like
    it would be done for 'make modules_install'.

  • 323a028d3   dts, kbuild: Implement support for dtb vendor subdirs ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds support of vendor sub directories for dtb files.
    Subdirectories can be specified in $(dts-dirs). Kbuild traverses over
    all directories while building and installing dtb files. The directory
    tree is also reflected in the install path.

  • 9fb5e5372   dts, kbuild: Factor out dtbs install rules to Makefile.dtbinst ... Browse Code »

    Move dtbs install rules to Makefile.dtbinst. This change is needed to
    implement support for dts vendor subdirs. The change makes Makefiles
    easier and smaller as no longer the dtbs_install rule needs to be
    defined. Another advantage is that install goals are not encoded in
    targets anymore (%.dtb_dtbinst_).
