Subject: [PATCH v3 09/16] kernel-devsrc: copying rust-kernel source to $kerneldir/build
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 09:52:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120175246.2052341-10-Harish.Sadineni@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120175246.2052341-1-Harish.Sadineni@windriver.com>

From: Harish Sadineni <Harish.Sadineni@windriver.com>

When CONFIG_RUST is enabled, running 'make prepare' in the  target & SDK
fails because the Rust kernel infrastructure is incomplete in the staged
kernel sources.

The Rust build system requires a wider set of interdependent sources
during make prepare, including bindgen inputs, C helper sources,
generated headers, and other support files. These are all located under
the kernel rust/ directory.

To ensure make prepare succeeds and to support building Rust-based
kernel modules from the  target & SDK, copy the full rust/ directory
(of size 2.5MB) into $kerneldir/build when the rust-kernel distro feature
is enabled.

Additionally, when Rust support is enabled, 'make prepare' generates
.rmeta files (crate metadata in a custom binary format) and shared
objects (.so) that are required for compiling Rust kernel modules.
