The merge_config.sh and olddefconfig invocations hardcoded cwd="linux", so a tree passed via --local-dir was configured in the wrong directory (or failed outright when ./linux does not exist). Pass linux_dir to every subprocess and hoist its default out of the else branch so the variable is defined on both paths. Signed-off-by: Christopher Obbard <chris.obbard@oss.qualcomm.com>
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF needs pahole from the dwarves package; without it the build fails late, after the kernel has already been compiled. Check for it up-front along with the other build-dependencies. Signed-off-by: Christopher Obbard <chris.obbard@oss.qualcomm.com>
Allow stopping after the source tree has been fetched and configured, which is useful when iterating on config fragments or when the build itself is driven separately. Signed-off-by: Christopher Obbard <chris.obbard@oss.qualcomm.com>
Build the kernel/configs path once and reuse it for both the copy destination and the merge_config.sh target, instead of repeating the literal. The log now reports the path relative to the source tree, which is what gets passed to merge_config.sh. Signed-off-by: Christopher Obbard <chris.obbard@oss.qualcomm.com>
Spell out that FRAGMENT is merged with the defconfig, and drop the stray blank line so the add_argument() calls are formatted alike. Signed-off-by: Christopher Obbard <chris.obbard@oss.qualcomm.com>
