Subject: [Crash-utility] [PATCH 2/2] memory_driver: Support overriding
kernel directory
Message-ID: <20230926101247.1237748-3-minipli@grsecurity.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; x-default=true
Support compiling the module against a different kernel version than the
currently running one by allowing to set either KVER or KDIR variables
on the make commandline.
Also modernize the makefile slightly and make use of the kernel's
'clean' target to ensure to remove all generated files.
The [PATCH 1/2] looks good to me.
For the [PATCH 2/2], I only have two questions:
[1] With the patch 2/2, it always triggers recompiling the gdb like this:
# make lzo
TARGET: PPC64
CRASH: 8.0.3++
GDB: 10.2
CXX gdb.o
CXX ../../crash_target.o
CXX ada-exp.o
CXX ada-lang.o
CXX ada-tasks.o
CXX ada-typeprint.o
CXX ada-valprint.o
CXX ada-varobj.o
CXX addrmap.o
CXX agent.o
CXX alloc.o
CXX annotate.o
...
[2] With the patch 2/2, it always reports the following error "No such file or directory", if the kernel-devel package is not installed.
# make clean
...
make -C /lib/modules/xxx/build M=/home/crash SUBDIRS=/home/crash clean || rm -f *.mod.c *.ko *.o Module.*
make[3]: *** /lib/modules/xxx/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
Actually, I did not build the crash.ko in the directory memory_driver/.
Is that expected behavior?
Thanks
Lianbo
