Problem: When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the kernel, that information is not available. Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases: 1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be passed to the kernel at boot time. 2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image. Proposal: The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate modules, we are not creating a new API. It can be easily read in the userspace: $ tr '\0' '\n' < modules.builtin.modinfo ext4.softdep=pre: crc32c ext4.license=GPL ext4.description=Fourth Extended Filesystem ext4.author=Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others ext4.alias=fs-ext4 ext4.alias=ext3 ext4.alias=fs-ext3 ext4.alias=ext2 ext4.alias=fs-ext2 md_mod.alias=block-major-9-* md_mod.alias=md md_mod.description=MD RAID framework md_mod.license=GPL md_mod.parmtype=create_on_open:bool md_mod.parmtype=start_dirty_degraded:int ...

modules.order
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
This file records the order in which modules appear in Makefiles. This
|
|
is used by modprobe to deterministically resolve aliases that match
|
|
multiple modules.
|
|
|
|
modules.builtin
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
This file lists all modules that are built into the kernel. This is used
|
|
by modprobe to not fail when trying to load something builtin.
|
|
|
|
modules.builtin.modinfo
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
This file contains modinfo from all modules that are built into the kernel.
|
|
Unlike modinfo of a separate module, all fields are prefixed with module name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Environment variables

|
|
|
|
KBUILD_KCONFIG
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Set the top-level Kconfig file to the value of this environment
|
|
variable. The default name is "Kconfig".
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_VERBOSE
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Set the kbuild verbosity. Can be assigned same values as "V=...".
|
|
See make help for the full list.
|
|
Setting "V=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_VERBOSE.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_EXTMOD
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Set the directory to look for the kernel source when building external
|
|
modules.
|
|
Setting "M=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_EXTMOD.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_OUTPUT
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Specify the output directory when building the kernel.
|
|
The output directory can also be specified using "O=...".
|
|
Setting "O=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_OUTPUT.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_DEBARCH
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
For the deb-pkg target, allows overriding the normal heuristics deployed by
|
|
deb-pkg. Normally deb-pkg attempts to guess the right architecture based on
|
|
the UTS_MACHINE variable, and on some architectures also the kernel config.
|
|
The value of KBUILD_DEBARCH is assumed (not checked) to be a valid Debian
|
|
architecture.
|
|
|
|
ARCH
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Set ARCH to the architecture to be built.
|
|
In most cases the name of the architecture is the same as the
|
|
directory name found in the arch/ directory.
|
|
But some architectures such as x86 and sparc have aliases.
|
|
x86: i386 for 32 bit, x86_64 for 64 bit
|
|
sh: sh for 32 bit, sh64 for 64 bit
|
|
sparc: sparc32 for 32 bit, sparc64 for 64 bit
|
|
|
|
CROSS_COMPILE
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Specify an optional fixed part of the binutils filename.
|
|
CROSS_COMPILE can be a part of the filename or the full path.
|
|
|
|
CROSS_COMPILE is also used for ccache in some setups.
|
|
|
|
CF
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Additional options for sparse.
|
|
CF is often used on the command-line like this:
|
|
|
|
make CF=-Wbitwise C=2
|
|
|
|
INSTALL_PATH
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map
|
|
images. Default is /boot, but you can set it to other values.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLKERNEL
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Install script called when using "make install".
|
|
The default name is "installkernel".
|
|
|
|
The script will be called with the following arguments:
|
|
$1 - kernel version
|
|
$2 - kernel image file
|
|
$3 - kernel map file
|
|
$4 - default install path (use root directory if blank)
|
|
|
|
The implementation of "make install" is architecture specific
|
|
and it may differ from the above.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLKERNEL is provided to enable the possibility to
|
|
specify a custom installer when cross compiling a kernel.
|
|
|
|
MODLIB
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Specify where to install modules.
|
|
The default value is:
|
|
|
|
$(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)
|
|
|
|
The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
|
|
|
|
INSTALL_MOD_PATH
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
INSTALL_MOD_PATH specifies a prefix to MODLIB for module directory
|
|
relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the
|
|
makefile but the argument can be passed to make if needed.
|
|
|
|
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP, if defined, will cause modules to be
|
|
stripped after they are installed. If INSTALL_MOD_STRIP is '1', then
|
|
the default option --strip-debug will be used. Otherwise,
|
|
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP value will be used as the options to the strip command.
|
|
|
|
INSTALL_HDR_PATH
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
INSTALL_HDR_PATH specifies where to install user space headers when
|
|
executing "make headers_*".
|
|
The default value is:
|
|
|
|
$(objtree)/usr
|
|
|
|
$(objtree) is the directory where output files are saved.
|
|
The output directory is often set using "O=..." on the commandline.
|
|
|
|
The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_SIGN_PIN
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
This variable allows a passphrase or PIN to be passed to the sign-file
|
|
utility when signing kernel modules, if the private key requires such.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid errors in case of undefined
|
|
symbols in the final module linking stage. It changes such errors
|
|
into warnings.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
|
|
This is solely useful to speed up test compiles.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
For modules that use symbols from other modules.
|
|
See more details in modules.txt.
|
|
|
|
ALLSOURCE_ARCHS
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
For tags/TAGS/cscope targets, you can specify more than one arch
|
|
to be included in the databases, separated by blank space. E.g.:
|
|
|
|
$ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags
|
|
|
|
To get all available archs you can also specify all. E.g.:
|
|
|
|
$ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS=all tags
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
If enabled over the make command line with "W=1", it turns on additional
|
|
gcc -W... options for more extensive build-time checking.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Setting this to a date string overrides the timestamp used in the
|
|
UTS_VERSION definition (uname -v in the running kernel). The value has to
|
|
be a string that can be passed to date -d. The default value
|
|
is the output of the date command at one point during build.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_BUILD_USER, KBUILD_BUILD_HOST
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
These two variables allow to override the user@host string displayed during
|
|
boot and in /proc/version. The default value is the output of the commands
|
|
whoami and host, respectively.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_LDS
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
The linker script with full path. Assigned by the top-level Makefile.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
All object files for vmlinux. They are linked to vmlinux in the same
|
|
order as listed in KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS.
|
|
|
|
KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
All .a "lib" files for vmlinux. KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS and KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
|
|
together specify all the object files used to link vmlinux.
