kpatch-build - build scriptSYNOPSIS¶
kpatch-build [options] <patch file>DESCRIPTION¶
This script takes a patch based on the version of the kernel currently running and creates a kernel module that will replace modified functions in the kernel such that the patched code takes effect.This script currently only works on Fedora and will need to be adapted to work on other distros.
OPTIONS¶
-h|--help Show this help message-r|--sourcerpm Specify kernel source RPM
-s|--sourcedir Specify kernel source directory
-c|--config Specify kernel config file
-v|--vmlinux Specify original vmlinux
-t|--target Specify custom kernel build targets
-d|--debug Keep scratch files in /tmp
--skip-gcc-check Skips check that ensures that the system gcc version and the gcc version that built the kernel match. Skipping this check is not recommended, but is useful if the exact gcc version is not available or is not easily installed. Use only when confident that the two versions of gcc output identical objects for a given target. Otherwise, use of this option might result in unexpected changed objects being detected.
