# @ECLASS: linux-info.eclass
# @MAINTAINER:
# kernel@gentoo.org
# @AUTHOR:
# Original author: John Mylchreest <johnm@gentoo.org>
# @BLURB: eclass used for accessing kernel related information
# @DESCRIPTION:
# This eclass is used as a central eclass for accessing kernel
# related information for source or binary already installed.
# It is vital for linux-mod.eclass to function correctly, and is split
# out so that any ebuild behaviour "templates" are abstracted out
# using additional eclasses.
#
# "kernel config" in this file means:
# The .config of the currently installed sources is used as the first
# preference, with a fall-back to bundled config (/proc/config.gz) if available.
#
# Before using any of the config-handling functions in this eclass, you must
# ensure that one of the following functions has been called (in order of
# preference), otherwise you will get bugs like #364041):
# linux-info_pkg_setup
# linux-info_get_any_version
# get_version
# get_running_version

# A Couple of env vars are available to effect usage of this eclass
# These are as follows:


# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: CHECKCONFIG_DONOTHING
# @USER_VARIABLE
# @DEFAULT_UNSET
# @DESCRIPTION:
# Do not error out in check_extra_config if CONFIG settings are not met.
# This is a user flag and should under _no circumstances_ be set in the ebuild.
: ${CHECKCONFIG_DONOTHING:=""}

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KERNEL_DIR
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A string containing the directory of the target kernel sources. The default value is
# "/usr/src/linux"
KERNEL_DIR="${KERNEL_DIR:-${ROOT%/}/usr/src/linux}"

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: CONFIG_CHECK
# @DEFAULT_UNSET
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A string containing a list of .config options to check for before
# proceeding with the install.
#
#   e.g.: CONFIG_CHECK="MTRR"
#
# You can also check that an option doesn't exist by
# prepending it with an exclamation mark (!).
#
#   e.g.: CONFIG_CHECK="!MTRR"
#
# To simply warn about a missing option, prepend a '~'.
# It may be combined with '!'.
#
# In general, most checks should be non-fatal. The only time fatal checks should
# be used is for building kernel modules or cases that a compile will fail
# without the option.
#
# This is to allow usage of binary kernels, and minimal systems without kernel
# sources.

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: ERROR_<CFG>
# @DEFAULT_UNSET
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A string containing the error message to display when the check against CONFIG_CHECK
# fails. <CFG> should reference the appropriate option used in CONFIG_CHECK.
#
# e.g.: ERROR_MTRR="MTRR exists in the .config but shouldn't!!"
#
# CONFIG_CHECK="CFG" with ERROR_<CFG>="Error Message" will die
# CONFIG_CHECK="~CFG" with ERROR_<CFG>="Error Message" calls eerror without dieing
# CONFIG_CHECK="~CFG" with WARNING_<CFG>="Warning Message" calls ewarn without dieing


# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KBUILD_OUTPUT
# @DEFAULT_UNSET
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A string passed on commandline, or set from the kernel makefile. It contains the directory
# which is to be used as the kernel object directory.

# There are also a couple of variables which are set by this, and shouldn't be
# set by hand. These are as follows:

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KERNEL_MAKEFILE
# @INTERNAL
# @DESCRIPTION:
# According to upstream documentation, by default, when make looks for the makefile, it tries
# the following names, in order: GNUmakefile, makefile and Makefile. Set this variable to the
# proper Makefile name or the eclass will search in this order for it.
# See https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
: ${KERNEL_MAKEFILE:=""}

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_FULL
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's a string containing the full kernel version. ie: 2.6.9-gentoo-johnm-r1

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_MAJOR
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's an integer containing the kernel major version. ie: 2

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_MINOR
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's an integer containing the kernel minor version. ie: 6

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_PATCH
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's an integer containing the kernel patch version. ie: 9

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_EXTRA
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's a string containing the kernel EXTRAVERSION. ie: -gentoo

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_LOCAL
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's a string containing the kernel LOCALVERSION concatenation. ie: -johnm

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_DIR
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's a string containing the kernel source directory, will be null if
# KERNEL_DIR is invalid.

# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: KV_OUT_DIR
# @OUTPUT_VARIABLE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A read-only variable. It's a string containing the kernel object directory, will be KV_DIR unless
# KBUILD_OUTPUT is used. This should be used for referencing .config.


# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: SKIP_KERNEL_CHECK
# @USER_VARIABLE
# @DEFAULT_UNSET
# @DESCRIPTION:
# Do not check for kernel sources or a running kernel version 
# Main use-case is for chroots
# This is a user flag and should under _no circumstances_ be set in the ebuild.
