[PATCH] kernel: Don't fail if Modules.symvers doesn't exist

[PATCH] kernel: Don't fail if Modules.symvers doesn't exist

[Joel Stanley]

The one liner tests using `[ ] && action` need to have || true after the action,
otherwise the line returns false and the recipie fails.

By doing that, you simply silent possible error of the action after the
test, below is a little snippet showing that

 fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ touch foo
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ [ -e foo ] && ls non_existent_file
ls: cannot access 'non_existent_file': No such file or directory
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ echo $?
2
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ [ -e foo ] && ls non_existent_file || true
ls: cannot access 'non_existent_file': No such file or directory
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ echo $?
0
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ touch existent_file
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ [ -e foo ] && ls existent_file
existent_file
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$ echo $?
0
fmartinsons@work-pc:~$

I think the origin of your issue is that the action failed , having the log
of kernel_do_install task would help.

Sure. But the test is looking for the file, so if it doesn't exist
then the command install won't run.

I can't think of any realistic situation where install would fail if
the file is present.

> I think the origin of your issue is that the action failed , having the log of kernel_do_install task would help.

That isn't the case.

The issue is the Modules.symvers file is not found. This is expected,
because the kernel does not use modules.

Here is the log, with paths trimmed:

DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install
NOTE: no modules to install
WARNING: temp/run.do_install.2584671:225 exit 1 from '[ -e Module.symvers ]'

This crucial bit of information is not in the commit message, please add it.

Then, I think there are better ways to detect if kernel modules are disabled
completely. See for example kernel.bbclass line 430:

if (grep -q -i -e '^CONFIG_MODULES=y$' ${B}/.config); then

Cheers,

Something doesn't seem quite right, that test for Module.symvers (there
and in the shared workdir code) were put in place for the scenario
you are mentioning .. if Modules are disabled and hence Module.symvers doesn't
exist.

At one point, we even tested that sort of configuration.

I didn't dig more through the logs, but maybe we had lines after that command
previously, so the last return code wasn't a failure and hence no task
failure.

As was mentioned, we could make the test more explicit if the shorthand of
just checking for the symvers file isn't working, since really, if we have an
|| true in the one-liner, we probably can tweak things to not test for
Module.symvers
at all.

Yep, this is what happened, there used to be these 2 lines after it:

install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/modprobe.d

install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/modules-load.d

https://gerrit.openbmc.org/c/openbmc/openbmc/+/65313/3/poky/meta/classes-recipe/kernel.bbclass

Once these were removed we started hitting this failure over in OpenBMC.

I think using an if solves the issue:

if [ -e Module.symvers ]; then
  install -m 0644 Module.symvers
${D}/${KERNEL_IMAGEDEST}/Module.symvers-${KERNEL_VERSION}
fi

or something to invert the logic:

! [ -e Module.symvers ] || install -m 0644 Module.symvers
${D}/${KERNEL_IMAGEDEST}/Module.symvers-${KERNEL_VERSION}
