From c26545970590e3e8aca3fd7f7ef65e8f40df5345 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2019 18:13:39 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: add workaround for Debian make-kpkg Since commit ae14f98348ae ("kbuild: make -r/-R effective in top Makefile for old Make versions"), make-kpkg is not working. make-kpkg directly includes the top Makefile of Linux kernel, and appends some debian_* targets. /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/kernel_version.mk: # Include the kernel makefile override dot-config := 1 include Makefile dot-config := 1 I did not know the kernel Makefile was used in that way, and it is hard to guarantee the behavior when the kernel Makefile is included by another Makefile from a different project. It looks like Debian Stretch stopped providing make-kpkg. Maybe it is obsolete and being replaced with 'make deb-pkg' etc. but still widely used. This commit adds a workaround; if the top Makefile is included by another Makefile, skip sub-make in order to make the main part visible. 'MAKEFLAGS += -rR' does not become effective for GNU Make < 4.0, but Debian/Ubuntu is already using newer versions. The effect of this commit: Debian 8 (Jessie) : Fixed Debian 9 (Stretch) : make-kpkg (kernel-package) is not provided Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : NOT Fixed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS : Fixed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS : Fixed This commit cannot fix Ubuntu 14.04 because it installs GNU Make 3.81, but its support will end in Apr 2019, which is before the Linux v5.1 release. I added warning so that nobody would try to include the top Makefile.
