From: Janne Grunau Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:30:29 +0000 (+0100) Subject: kbuild: modules-cpio-pkg: Respect INSTALL_MOD_PATH X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=742de64b62b690a368dbeb846499eb8ac8ceedb9;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git kbuild: modules-cpio-pkg: Respect INSTALL_MOD_PATH The modules-cpio-pkg target added in commit 2a9c8c0b59d3 ("kbuild: add target to build a cpio containing modules") is incompatible with initramfs with merged /lib and /usr/lib directories [1]. "/lib" cannot be a link and directory at the same time. Respect a non-empty INSTALL_MOD_PATH in the modules-cpio-pkg target so that `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules-cpio-pkg` results in the same module install location as `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules_install`. Tested with Fedora distribution initramfs produced by dracut.
