Subject: livepatch/klp-build: Fix inconsistent kernel version
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc5~7^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6f93f7b06810d04acc6b106a7d5ecd6000f80545;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

livepatch/klp-build: Fix inconsistent kernel version

If .config hasn't been synced with auto.conf, any recent changes to
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION* may not get reflected in the kernel version name.

Use "make syncconfig" to force them to sync, and "make -s kernelrelease"
to get the version instead of having to construct it manually.

Fixes: 24ebfcd65a87 ("livepatch/klp-build: Introduce klp-build script for generating livepatch modules")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/20260217160645.3434685-10-joe.lawrence@redhat.com
