package-infra: add helper to build kernel modules
The Linux kernel offers a nice and easy-to-use infra to build
out-of-tree kernel modules.
Currently, we have quite a few packages that build kernel modules, and
most duplicate (or rewrite) the same code over-and-over again.
Introduce a new infrastructure that provides helpers to build kernel
modules, so packages do not have to duplicate/rewrite that.
The infrastructure, unlike any other package infra, is not standalone.
It needs another package infra to be used. This is so that packages that
provide both userland and kernel modules can be built easily. So, this
infra only defines post-build and post-install hooks, that will build
the kernel modules after the rest of the package.
We need to override PWD, because some packages will use it to find their
own includes (and other helper files). PWD is inherited from the
environment, so it gets whatever value it had when make was launched,
which happens to be Buildroot's own top source tree. So, we just force
PWD to the proper value, rather than cd-ing first.
Also, no host version is provided, since it does not make sense to build
kernel modules for the host.

# kernel module infrastructure for building Linux kernel modules
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of package
|
|
|
|
# .mk files for out-of-tree Linux kernel modules. It should be used for all
|
|
|
|
# packages that build a Linux kernel module using the kernel's out-of-tree
|
|
|
|
# buildsystem, unless they use a complex custom buildsystem.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# The kernel-module infrastructure requires the packages that use it to also
|
|
|
|
# use another package infrastructure. kernel-module only defines post-build
|
|
|
|
# and post-install hooks. This allows the package to build both kernel
|
|
|
|
# modules and/or user-space components (with any of the other *-package
|
|
|
|
# infra).
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# As such, it is to be used in conjunction with another *-package infra,
|
|
|
|
# like so:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# $(eval $(kernel-module))
|
|
|
|
# $(eval $(generic-package))
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Note: if the caller needs access to the kernel modules (either after they
|
|
|
|
# are built or after they are installed), it will have to define its own
|
|
|
|
# post-build/install hooks *after* calling kernel-module, but *before*
|
|
|
|
# calling the other *-package infra, like so:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# $(eval $(kernel-module))
|
|
|
|
# define FOO_MOD_TWEAK
|
|
|
|
# # do something
|
|
|
|
# endef
|
|
|
|
# FOO_POST_BUILD_HOOKS += FOO_MOD_TWEAK
|
|
|
|
# $(eval $(generic-package))
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Note: this infra does not check that the kernel is enabled; it is expected
|
|
|
|
# to be enforced at the Kconfig level with proper 'depends on'.
