The following patch implements this suggestion and folds both of my
proposed patches together.
kbuild: improve version string logic
The LOCALVERSION= string passed to "make" will now always be appended to
the kernel version after CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, if it exists, regardless of
whether CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set or not. This allows users to
uniquely identify their kernel builds with a string.
scripts/setlocalversion will now always be called to determine whether
the repository is beyond a tagged (release) commit. When at a tagged
commit, this script will now suppress all output.
If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, the unique SCM tag reported by
setlocalversion (or .scmversion) is appended to the kernel version, if it
exists. When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not enabled, a `+' is appended
to the kernel version to represent that the kernel has been revised since
the last release unless "make LOCALVERSION=" was used to uniquely identify
the build.
The end result is this:
- when LOCALVERSION= is passed to "make", it is appended to the kernel
version,
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, a unique SCM identifier is
appended if the respository has been revised beyond a tagged commit,
and
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is disabled, a `+' is appended if the
repository has been revised beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION=
was not passed to "make".
Examples:
With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "make" results in
v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63. If there are uncommited changes to the
respository, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty. If
"make LOCALVERSION=kbuild" were used, it results in
v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty.
Without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4+
unless the repository is at the Linux v2.6.32-rc4 commit (in which
case the version would be v2.6.32-rc4). If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild"
were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild.
Also renames variables such as localver-auto and _localver-auto to more
accurately describe what they represent: localver-extra and
scm-identifier, respectively.
