Subject[RFC PATCH] kbuild: AFTER_LINK
Date
In kernel builds for packaging systems, we want to do some magic diddling
of linked binaries before they get embedded in load images. This means the
vDSO images before they get embedded inside vmlinux, and the vmlinux image
itself before it gets embedded inside bzImage or suchlike.

In Fedora's RPM builds, we have been doing this with a kludge using an
override for cmd_objcopy on the make command line. This is fragile at
best, and broke down due to the excessive levels of make magic involved.

I'm trying to find a relatively clean way of doing this. What I've come up
with so far is maybe not so hot, but it's a start. This patch lets me set
AFTER_LINK for the make run, to a command line to run right after these
final links. For context, this is how I set it:

# This override tweaks the kernel makefiles so that we run debugedit on an
# object before embedding it. When we later run find-debuginfo.sh, it will
# run debugedit again. The edits it does change the build ID bits embedded
# in the stripped object, but repeating debugedit is a no-op. We do it
# beforehand to get the proper final build ID bits into the embedded image.
# This affects the vDSO images in vmlinux, and the vmlinux image in bzImage.
export AFTER_LINK=\
'sh -xc "/usr/lib/rpm/debugedit -b $$RPM_BUILD_DIR -d /usr/src/debug -i $@"'

Sam, what do you think would be the clean way to enable packaging builds to
do a hack like this?


Thanks,
Roland

If the make variable AFTER_LINK is set, it is a command line to run
after each final link. This includes vmlinux itself and vDSO images.
