v2 cover Embedding initramfs images during kernel build.

* Sync with org.openembedded.dev and allow the inclusion of
* lzma and xz compressed initramfs images.
*
* Provide a convenient way to include an initramfs by setting
* INITRAMFS_IMAGE = "your_initramfs_image.bb"
* and specifying the chosen output format in the initramfs image recipe, e.g.
* IMAGE_FSTYPES = "cpio.gz cpio.lzma"

PATCH v2 1/2 kernel.bbclass: handle embedding of initramfs images

* "All 2.6 Linux kernels contain a gzipped "cpio" format archive, which is
* extracted into rootfs when the kernel boots up."
* (http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt)
*
* In some cases it can be useful to take advantage of this ability and embed your
* customized rootfs ("the move to early userspace is necessary because finding
* and mounting the real root device is complex").
*
* Therefore, some code was added and since 2009 OpenEmbedded metadata
* provides a convenient way to include your initramfs by setting
* INITRAMFS_IMAGE = "your_initramfs_image.bb"
* and specifying the chosen output format in the initramfs image recipe, e.g.
* IMAGE_FSTYPES = "cpio.gz cpio.lzma"
*
*
* Patch was imported from the OpenEmbedded git server
* (git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded)
*
* Add satndalone task "builtin_initramfs".

PATCH v2 2/2 image_types.bbclass: add support for tar.xz, cpio.xz, cpio.lzma

In reply to Andrea Adami

* Once we add support for building kernel containing initramfs images
* we expect compressed cpio archives.
* Thus, add support for lzma and xz compressors for the initramfs images.
* While there, add support for tar.xz as done in org.openembedded.dev. *

#4 lore raw

For some reasons one line has been horribly truncated:

cp "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${INITRAMFS_IMAGE}-${MACHINE}.$i ^

below the correct line:

kernel_do_configure() {
	yes '' | oe_runmake oldconfig
	if [ ! -z "${INITRAMFS_IMAGE}" ]; then
		for img in cpio.gz cpio.lzo cpio.lzma; do
		if [ -e "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${INITRAMFS_IMAGE}-${MACHINE}.$img" ]; then
			cp "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${INITRAMFS_IMAGE}-${MACHINE}.$img" initramfs.$img
		fi
		done
	fi

Sorry

Andrea
