Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Move tool for generating initramfs cpio to scripts/
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:10:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720-move-gen_init_cpio-to-scripts-v2-0-26b7e15c7133@kernel.org> (raw)
initramfs cpio tools had been subject of several recent discussions on
linux-kbuild. Let's get two minor steps forward by enabling a
top-level target for building gen_init_cpio w/o the need of a valid
kbuild configuration [1] and move the tools for generating the builtin
initramfs from usr/ to scripts/ [2].

Changes in v2:
* Build gen_init_cpio only if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD (Thomas)
* Keep underscore top-level target name (scripts_gen_init_cpio)
(Thomas)
* Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260309-move-gen_init_cpio-to-scripts-v1-0-0c5059b1ec5b@kernel.org
