2008-12-03kbuild: gen_init_cpio expands shell variables in file namesSally, Gene
Modify gen_init_cpio so that lines that specify files can contain what looks like a shell variable that's expanded during processing. For example: file /sbin/kinit ${RFS_BASE}/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0 given RFS_BASE is "/some/directory" in the environment would be expanded to file /sbin/kinit /some/directory/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0 If several environment variables appear in a line, they are all expanded with processing happening from left to right. Undefined variables expand to a null string. Syntax errors stop processing, letting the existing error handling show the user offending line. This patch helps embedded folks who frequently create several RFS directories and then switch between them as they're tuning an initramfs.

2007-07-16kbuild: add support for reading stdin with gen_init_cpioMike Frysinger
Treat an argument of "-" as meaning "read stdin for cpio files" so gen_init_cpio can be piped into. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2007-02-11[PATCH] usr/gen_init_cpio.c: support for hard linksLuciano Rocha
Extend usr/gen_init_cpio.c "file" entry, adding support for hard links. Previous format: file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid> New format: file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid> [<hard links>] The hard links specification is optional, keeping the previous behaviour. All hard links are defined sequentially in the resulting cpio and the file data is present only in the last link. This is the behaviour of GNU's cpio and is supported by the kernel initramfs extractor.

2006-04-19[PATCH] Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpioJesper Juhl
Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio.c spotted by coverity checker. This fixes coverity bug #86 Without this patch we risk dereferencing a NULL `type' in the "if ('\n' == *type) {" line.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
