Hi,
I've noticed that kbuild always rebuilds the compressed piggy image
on ARM. Here's the output from running make with V=2:
CALL /home/rmk/git/linux-rmk/scripts/checksyscalls.sh - due to target missing
CHK include/generated/compile.h
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
Building modules, stage 2.
LZO arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo - due to command line change
MODPOST 17 modules - due to target is PHONY
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo.o - due to: arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo
LD arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux - due to: arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo.o
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage - due to: arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
and with V=1:
...
make -f /home/rmk/git/linux-rmk/scripts/Makefile.build obj=arch/arm/boot/compressed arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
make -f /home/rmk/git/linux-rmk/scripts/Makefile.modpost
find .tmp_versions -name '*.mod' | xargs -r grep -h '\.ko$' | sort -u | sed 's/\.ko$/.o/' | scripts/mod/modpost -m -a -o /home/rmk/git/build/imx6/Module.symvers -S -s -T -
(cat arch/arm/boot/compressed/../Image | lzop -9 && printf \\010\\224\\034\\002) > arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo || (rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo ; false)
make -f /home/rmk/git/linux-rmk/scripts/Makefile.fwinst obj=firmware __fw_modbuild
...
The arch/arm/boot/compressed/.piggy.lzo.cmd file contains this:
cmd_arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo := (cat arch/arm/boot/compressed/../Image | lzop -9 && printf \\\\010\\\\224\\\\034\\\\002) > arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo || (rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo ; false)
Any ideas why it thinks that the command has changed?
Thanks.
