2007-07-16kbuild: add support for squashing uid/gid in gen_initramfs_list.shMike Frysinger
Sometimes it is useful to squash all uid's/gid's to 0:0 regardless of current owner. For example, in build systems that get run as arbitrary users (uClinux-dist). This adds a special "squash" keyword so you can do '-g squash -u squash' and have ownership squashed to root.

2007-05-02kbuild: propagate errors from find in scripts/gen_initramfs_list.shMichael Ellerman
If the find(1) in scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh generates any errors, it will cause gen_initramfs_list.sh to fail (because of "set -e"), however the errors from find are not printed to the user. This is rather confusing: ~/src/powerpc$ make O=~/build/powerpc-cell32/ make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make[1]: *** [usr] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. make: *** [_all] Error 2 It is much easier to work out what the problem is if we let the errors from find hit the console, eg: ~/src/powerpc$ make O=~/build/powerpc-cell32/ find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/home: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/lost+found: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/opt: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/root: Permission denied make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make[1]: *** [usr] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** wait: No child processes.

2007-05-02kbuild: handle compressed cpio initramfs-esAlex Landau
Make kbuild handle compressed cpio initramfs-es. An already compressed cpio is copied directly to usr/, while a non-compressed cpio is filtered through gzip (no changes here) on its way to usr/. If the user has created a compressed cpio by other means, this saves him from uncompressing it, just to be compressed again by kbuild.

2006-11-25[PATCH] initramfs: handle more than one source dir or file listThomas Chou
Fix bug 7401. Handle more than one source dir or file list to the initramfs gen scripts. The Kconfig help for INITRAMFS_SOURCE claims that you can specify multiple space-separated sources in order to allow unprivileged users to build an image. There are two bugs in the current implementation that prevent this from working. First, we pass "file1 dir2" to the gen_initramfs_list.sh script, which it obviously can't open. Second, gen_initramfs_list.sh -l outputs multiple definitions for deps_initramfs -- one for each argument.

2006-04-30kbuild: fix gen_initramfs_list.shSam Ravnborg
Create correct dependencies when specifying your own file with list of files etc. to include in initramfs. Reported by: Andre Noll <maan@skl-net.de> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-04-11kbuild: rebuild initramfs if content of initramfs changesSam Ravnborg
initramfs.cpio.gz being build in usr/ and included in the kernel was not rebuild when the included files changed. To fix this the following was done: - let gen_initramfs.sh generate a list of files and directories included in the initramfs - gen_initramfs generate the gzipped cpio archive so we could simplify the kbuild file (Makefile) - utilising the kbuild infrastructure so when uid/gid root mapping changes the initramfs will be rebuild With this change we have a much more robust initramfs generation.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
