* [kernel/image_kernel] add "whole rootfs in initrd in kernel image" featureMarc Kleine-Budde2010-03-031-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add the "whole rootfs in initrd in kernel image" feature to the kernel. The whole root file system in form of an cpio image should be linked into the kernel. The procedure is split into two parts: If the feature is active, during the kernel's compile stage an empty file is linked into the kernel. Because: a) the kernel should be compiled in the compile stage b) the root file system isn't read yet, because it is usually not compiled. Maybe we even want to put modules into the rootfs. The second part happens during the "images" stage. First the cpio is created, then it is linked into the kernel image. Last but not least the kernel image is installed to "images/kernel" as usual.

* [kernel] prepare for "late" installation of kernel imageMarc Kleine-Budde2010-03-031-0/+24
This patch moves the installation of the kernel image from the targetinstall stage into the images stage. This is a preparation for the "whole rootfs in initrd in kernel image" use case, where first the root file system is build and bundled into a cpio and then linked into the kernel image. We define some new symbols: - IMAGE_KERNEL: It's automatically activated if the kernel is build. When active the kernel is install to "images/linuximage". - IMAGE_KERNEL_INSTALL_EARLY: default "y". When active the kernel is copied to "images/linuximage" during targetinstall. - IMAGE_KERNEL_INSTALL_LATE: If selected the kernel is installed later, during the "images" stage.
