Subject: [PATCH 5/5] kernel: use architecture specific names for kernels
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 18:45:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813164500.3092151-6-felix.moessbauer@siemens.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813164500.3092151-1-felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>

The kernel source packages are architecture specific. By that, we also
have to encode the architecture in the KERNEL_NAME, if that is not
already implicitly the case (e.g. when building a kernel for a specific
machine).

For the kernel recipes which are generic (like mainline and cip), we
simply extend the PN with -${DISTRO_ARCH}, so bitbake can find the
dependency and instanciate an architecture specific variant.

By that, we also need to adapt the default in test_per_kernel, which
explicitly builds the module for the kernel that corresponds to the
multiconfig target.

 Firmware packages are an exception because they are built for only one architecture.
 
+### Kernel source packages are architecture specific
+
+Kernel source packages have always contained architecture-specific content, but
+this was not previously enforced. As a result, builds for multiple architectures
+could publish different source packages with the same name and version.
+
+Generic kernel recipes can append `${DISTRO_ARCH}` to `PN`, to provide the
+kernel for all architectures.
+
+```
+PN .= "-${DISTRO_ARCH}"
+```
+
+For a kernel built for only one target, the name may remain unchanged. When
+building multiple instances of a kernel selected by the same `KERNEL_NAME`, use
+`${DISTRO_ARCH}` in the name for architecture-specific kernels, or `${MACHINE}`
+for machine-specific kernels.
+
 ### Add Hyper-V machine support
 
 A new machine `hyper-v` has been introduced for building images
