creating packages in the armbian build system

In a clean system, only the script worked
compile.sh Reassembly, when the compiler cache is full, takes 9 minutes.


Build server host is Focal. Compilation stalls on bare metal too, on two Hirsute guest machines and on one Focal. It makes me crazy :(

Only major difference I see, is you appear to be using the builddeb/mkdebian files from 5.10.y,

These are scripts from kernel 5.11. and they are adapted to armbian.

Thanks for the link to the scripts, I saw that something needs to be checked.

For the sake of experiment, we will try to disable the creation of the kernel header module in the configuration for 5.12.
I have run out of ideas. Tomorrow I will make the scripts easier, as in the 5.4 kernel.
As just shown @Cornelius

Our problem of recompiling to a single thread was in the rules file.

Your link came in very handy.

I had to take a fascinating journey through Makefiles and scripts for building packages in kernel sources.

 

In the original:
After executing the mkdebian script, the debian/rules file looks like:

#!$(command -v $MAKE) -f

srctree ?= .

build-indep:
build-arch:
	$(MAKE) KERNELRELEASE=5.12.9-sunxi64 ARCH=arm64         KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=trunk -f $(srctree)/Makefile

build: build-arch

binary-indep:
binary-arch: build-arch
	$(MAKE) KERNELRELEASE=5.12.9-sunxi64 ARCH=arm64         KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=trunk -f $(srctree)/Makefile intdeb-pkg

clean:
	rm -rf debian/*tmp debian/files
	$(MAKE) clean

binary: binary-arch

This behavior causes the target to be collected at the package creation stage, if for some reason the target is considered not collected.
The possible reason is the timestamp. This is a kind of insurance for a full-fledged assembly.

Note the substitution of the MAKE variable. Here it's a simple call to /usr/bin/make.

But, at this stage, we have already collected all the necessary goals.
What could be the reason? For each kernel branch (5.4 5.10 5.12 ...) these reasons may be several and they will differ.
Therefore, the simpler version of the debian/rules file turned out to be the most working one:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

srctree ?= .

build:
        $(MAKE) KERNELRELEASE=5.12.9-sunxi64 ARCH=arm64         KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=trunk -f $(srctree)/Makefile

binary-arch:
        $(MAKE) KERNELRELEASE=5.12.9-sunxi64 ARCH=arm64         KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=trunk -f $(srctree)/Makefile intdeb-pkg

clean:
        rm -rf debian/*tmp debian/files
        $(MAKE) clean

binary: binary-arch

 

 

In any case, this file is very simple to be good.

We need to develop it so that it can, for example, build a separate package with kernel modules that are not used on all boards.

 

P.S. Example for hirsute debian/rules

@Igor @lanefu There are two options working in this branch.

For 5.12, the standard process for applying patches is.

For 5.10, a series of patches is used.
Both variants use the new mechanism and version numbering for the kernel and u-boot.

Here I have laid out a hand tool with which I extract a series of patches.

 

My lib.config

~/build$ cat userpatches/lib.config 
# KERNELSOURCE="https://github.com/megous/linux"
if [ "$KERNELPATCHDIR" == "sunxi-current" ]; then
KERNELSOURCE='git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git'
KERNELBRANCH=tag:v5.10.37
fi

 

Result:

~/build$ ls output/images/
