Almost every architecture has copied the "install.sh" script that originally came with i386, and modified it in very tiny ways. This patch series unifies all of these scripts into one single script to allow people to understand how to correctly install a kernel, and fixes up some issues regarding trying to install a kernel to a path with spaces in it. Note that not all architectures actually seem to have any type of way to install a kernel, they must rely on external scripts or tools which feels odd as everything should be included here in the main repository. I'll work on trying to figure out the missing architecture issues afterward. Note the cc: list here is crazy, due to touching arch-specific code in a number of different arches in the same patch series. I've cc:ed individual arch maintainers on this 00/20 patch, and on their individual arch-specific patch as well, but not the whole thing. thanks, greg k-h Greg Kroah-Hartman (20): kbuild: move x86 install script to scripts/install.sh kbuild: scripts/install.sh: properly quote all variables kbuild: scripts/install.sh: provide a "install" function kbuild: scripts/install.sh: call sync before calling the bootloader installer kbuild: scripts/install.sh: prepare for arch-specific bootloaders kbuild: scripts/install.sh: handle compressed/uncompressed kernel images kbuild: scripts/install.sh: allow for the version number kbuild: riscv: use common install script kbuild: arm64: use common install script kbuild: arm: use common install script kbuild: ia64: use common install script kbuild: m68k: use common install script kbuild: nds32: convert to use the common install scripts kbuild: nios2: use common install script kbuild: parisc: use common install script kbuild: powerpc: use common install script kbuild: s390: use common install script kbuild: sh: remove unused install script kbuild: sparc: use common install script kbuild: scripts/install.sh: update documentation arch/arm/boot/Makefile | 6 +- arch/arm/boot/install.sh | 66 -------------- arch/arm64/boot/Makefile | 4 +- arch/arm64/boot/install.sh | 60 ------------- arch/ia64/Makefile | 2 +- arch/ia64/install.sh | 40 --------- arch/m68k/Makefile | 2 +- arch/m68k/install.sh | 52 ----------- arch/nds32/boot/Makefile | 4 +- arch/nios2/boot/Makefile | 2 +- arch/nios2/boot/install.sh | 52 ----------- arch/parisc/Makefile | 4 +- arch/parisc/boot/Makefile | 2 +- arch/parisc/boot/install.sh | 65 -------------- arch/parisc/install.sh | 66 -------------- arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile | 4 +- arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh | 55 ------------ arch/riscv/boot/Makefile | 4 +- arch/riscv/boot/install.sh | 60 ------------- arch/s390/boot/Makefile | 2 +- arch/s390/boot/install.sh | 30 ------- arch/sh/boot/compressed/install.sh | 56 ------------ arch/sparc/boot/Makefile | 2 +- arch/sparc/boot/install.sh | 50 ----------- arch/x86/boot/Makefile | 2 +- arch/x86/boot/install.sh | 59 ------------- scripts/install.sh | 136 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 27 files changed, 156 insertions(+), 731 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/arm/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/arm64/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/ia64/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/m68k/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/nios2/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/parisc/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/parisc/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/riscv/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/s390/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/sh/boot/compressed/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/sparc/boot/install.sh delete mode 100644 arch/x86/boot/install.sh create mode 100644 scripts/install.sh base-commit: e49d033bddf5b565044e2abe4241353959bc9120 -- 2.31.1
