Subject: [PATCH] klp-build: Allow passing options to make via '--'
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 23:39:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103233909.1364531-1-dylanbhatch@google.com> (raw)
Livepatch builds rely on reproducing the original kernel build
environment. Currently, klp-build invokes bare 'make', which drops any
command-line variables or flags used during the original build (such as
'LLVM=1', 'CC=...', 'KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=...', or custom wrapper
Makefiles via '-f').
Refactor the make invocations to use a common MAKE array and allow
passing arbitrary make options after '--' on the klp-build command line:
klp-build [OPTIONS] PATCH_FILE(s) [-- MAKE_OPTIONS]
