Subject: [PATCH] arm64: make rpm failed due to incorrect path to Image.gz
The "make rpm" and "make rpm-pkg" commands for arm64 platform are broken
due to rpmbuild couldn't find Image.gz file at default location (which
is kernel src root):
cp: cannot stat 'Image.gz': No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ocFBmP (%install)
While the correct path to arm64 kernel image file
is "arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz".
The exact file name (Image.gz) is stored at KBUILD_IMAGE variable
and read by rpmbuild with "make image_name" command at
install phase after kernel build is complete.
Accordingly to Michal's Marek comment it is necesary
that the KBUILD_IMAGE variable value has to be set
accordingly to point to actual file and thus fix that issue.
Since the KBUILD_IMAGE variable is used in general cases of
build we need to prevent other build types breakage by changing it.
The solution is to add to arch/arm64/Makefie extra target "image_name"
with dependency "KBUILD_IMAGE:=<proper path to Image.gz file>".
Thus it will allow to set proper path to Image.gz file only for
the "image_name" build target and this exact value will be picked up
while rpm build install phase.
