Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2017-10-05 15:01:01 UTC 
I suspect some cases of bb.error() need to be bb.fatal() in the bbclasses.
Comment 2 Robert Berger 2017-11-15 17:16:04 UTC 
Created attachment 4125 [details]
sample kernel recipe

This also happens after the 2.4 release and the point is it's right.
There is no defconfig and there are also no kernel metadata since I want to use an in tree kernel config.
Comment 3 Robert Berger 2017-11-15 17:17:16 UTC 
I thought those lines would do the trick:

# Let's try an in-tree defconfig:
KERNEL_DEFCONFIG_imx6q-phytec-mira-rdk-nand-bsp ?= "multi_v7_defconfig"
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG_imx6q-phytec-mira-rdk-nand-bsp ?= "multi_v7_defconfig"
KCONFIG_MODE="--alldefconfig"
Comment 4 Saul Wold 2017-11-29 03:16:57 UTC 
Robert, is it possible you have a "defconfig" file on the $WORKDIR that matches the KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG setting?  I think I found part of the problem is that the $sccs is not set if the KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG == $WORKDIR/defconfig and we should really be setting $sccs in both cases.

We might also want to change the bberror to bbfatal in this case.
Comment 5 Robert Berger 2017-11-29 20:51:47 UTC 
Hi,

I don't quite understand what defconfig that should be.

Just a dummy file, or the real thing?

I want to use multi_v7_defconfig like[1] and apply config fragments on top of it. Like this I can move back and forth between kernel versions quite easily. Just need to change the commit id like here[2]

[1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig?h=v4.14.2

[2] https://github.com/RobertBerger/meta-mainline/tree/rocko-training-v4.9.x/multi-v7-ml/recipes-kernel/linux

If you like I can try to add to my kernel recipe something which copies the multi_v7_defconfig wherever you would like to find it and rename it to defconfig. 

Is this what you want? multi_v7_defconfig to $WORKDIR/defconfig?
