linux.git/kernel/gen_kheaders.sh, branch v5.2-rc4 Linux kernel source tree kheaders: Do not regenerate archive if config is not changed 2019-05-24T18:16:01+00:00 Joel Fernandes (Google) joel@joelfernandes.org 2019-05-15T21:35:52+00:00 1457dc9ed8da871fbbc0a2ebdaed0405eeeed0cf Linus reported an issue that doing an allmodconfig was causing the kheaders archive to be regenerated even though the config is the same. This patch fixes the issue by ignoring the config-related header files for "knowing when to regenerate based on timestamps". Instead, if the CONFIG_X_Y option really changes, then we there are the include/config/X/Y.h which will already tells us "if a config really changed". So we don't really need these files for regeneration detection anyway, and ignoring them fixes Linus's issue.

kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs 2019-05-24T18:16:01+00:00 Joel Fernandes (Google) joel@joelfernandes.org 2019-05-15T21:35:51+00:00 f7b101d33046a837c2aa4526cef28a3c785d7af2 The kheaders archive consisting of the kernel headers used for compiling bpf programs is in /proc. However there is concern that moving it here will make it permanent. Let us move it to /sys/kernel as discussed [1].
