Shea Levy 5a5602184e Whoops, forgot to re-inherit postBuild now that it's not set manually
I really should have done these changes in a topic branch, sorry

Shea Levy 34144e835d Linux 3.x: Use our module directory during modules_install
The "unset MODULE_DIR" trick was enough to get Linux 3.x kernels compiling, but it was definitely the Wrong Thing
We NEED MODULE_DIR set so that depmod can store the right dependencies during the build. The REAL problem with the
3.x kernels was two-fold: Our module-init-tools was so old that the kernel build needed to introduce a hack when
calling depmod (involving creating a symlink prepending 99.98 to the version number), and the depmod wrapper was
moved out of the Makefile into scripts/depmod.sh, so our substituteInPlace to get rid of '-b $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)' in
the Makefile was a noop and INSTALL_MOD_PATH was still being passed to depmod. This is now fixed and modprobe can
successfully find dependencies using the modules.dep created during install

Shea Levy ffdc37215a kernel/generic.nix: Add a passed-thru modDirVersion attribute
With the new kernel versioning scheme, the first release in a series only has a version number and
a major revision number (e.g. linux 3.0, linux 3.1-rc1, etc.). Unfortunately, the module
directory for these kernels still has a minor revision number (e.g. lib/modules/3.0.0, lib/modules/3.0.1-rc1, etc.).
This causes problems for packages such as broadcom_sta that need to know the module directory, so
this attribute will allow setting the module directory version number separate from the
kernel version number when necessary.

Ludovic Stordeur 8268a39690 Improved the Linux kernel building framework
Moved the hardcoded postBuild hook from the builder to generic.nix:

Some old kernel (such as 2.6.15) did not yet support the unifdef target.
As a result, compiling them with the current Linux builder leads to a
failure.
Fixed by moving this hook as argument of the top-level function of
generic.nix. This allows some kernel nix codes to overrides its default
value.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell c86da889cc Made the kernel generate-config "build as modules as you can" an option.
Sepcifically, a nixpkgs "platform" option. So, for PC all remained the same

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9183f21f7e Merging from trunk.
I fixed conflicts regarding the renaming 'kernel' -> 'linux' in all-packages.
Also a small conflict in all-packages about making openssl overridable.
And I some linux 2.6.31-zen kernel files also marked in conflict.

2009-12-28 10:35:34 +00:00
Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9ef11e4c4d Made the linux kernel expressions support 'platform' again (thinking on reusing
most of the kernel expressions for the sheevaplug).
I still have not added anything in the kernels about cross compilation.
I moved the platform definitions out of all-packages.
I have not written good platform definitions for the sheevaplug - only for the
PC.
Only the linux-2.6.32 expression uses the platforms kernelConfig.
The linux-2.6.31 was broken, and I left it broken.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 5bae851b1e Merging from trunk. I had to give away some structure to build the native
sheevaplug kernel, so the kernel does not build in the sheevaplug right now.
I will try to fix that in next commits.

Eelco Dolstra c3e80cbc9f * Get User-Mode Linux to build with a newer kernel. Yes, SHELL really
has to be "/bin/sh" - other values such as "sh" or "bash" or "$(type
  -tP sh)" cause a build error:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  /nix/store/1yv8i1m76cvwk5w5i5wrk4gj5zyfj6vh-binutils-2.19.1/bin/ld:arch/um/kernel/vmlinux.lds:1: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression

  This is caused by Bash 4.0
  (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13343).

Eelco Dolstra 03e45e0cb4 * Added a script to generate the kernel configuration.
`generate-config.pl' runs `make config' to generate a Linux kernel
  configuration file.  For each question (i.e. kernel configuration
  option), unless an override is provided, it answers "m" if possible,
  and otherwise uses the default answer (as determined by the default
  config for the architecture).  This is safer than allmodconfig,
  which answers "y" everywhere it can't answer "m" and thus ends up
  enabling a lot of experimental or debug options.  (For this reason,
  a configuration generated by allmodconfig must be carefully checked
  with every new release to ensure that nothing dangerous is enabled.
  The default config should be safer wrt new kernel releases.)

  Overrides are specified in the `config' argument to generic.nix,
  which is a string that contains lines such as `EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y'.
  The script warns about ignored options, and aborts if `make config'
  selects an answer inconsistent with the one in `config'.  This
  allows us to be sure that `make config' doesn't silently override
  our configuration values (e.g., depending on other options, it will
  set FB_TILEBLITTING to "y" even if we want it to be "n").

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
This comes from:
svn diff  ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.
