Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] kbuild: Move gen_init_cpio and gen_initramfs.sh to scripts/
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:10:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720-move-gen_init_cpio-to-scripts-v2-2-26b7e15c7133@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720-move-gen_init_cpio-to-scripts-v2-0-26b7e15c7133@kernel.org>

gen_init_cpio and gen_initramfs.sh are part of kbuild and required for
all kernel builds w/ CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD.  Move both to scripts/ to be
more clear about their importance.
