235 =head1 NAME
237 ksplice-create - Create a set of kernel modules for a rebootless kernel update
239 =head1 SYNOPSIS
241 B<ksplice-create> [B<--config=>I<ORIG_CONFIG>] B<--patch=>I<PATCH_FILE> I<KERNEL_SOURCE>
243 B<ksplice-create> [B<--config=>I<ORIG_CONFIG>] B<--diffext=>I<EXTENSION> I<KERNEL_SOURCE>
245 B<ksplice-create> [B<--config=>I<ORIG_CONFIG>] B<--prebuild> I<KERNEL_SOURCE>
247 =head1 DESCRIPTION
249 B<ksplice-create> creates a set of Ksplice kernel modules that, when loaded,
250 will apply a user-specified source code patch to the running binary kernel.
252 Before you use B<ksplice-create> on a patch, you should confirm that the
253 desired source code change does not make any semantic changes to kernel data
254 structures--that is, changes that would require existing instances of kernel
255 data structures to be transformed (e.g., a patch that adds a field to a global
256 data structure would require the existing data structures to change). If you
257 use Ksplice on a patch that changes data structure semantics, Ksplice will not
258 detect the problem and you could experience kernel problems as a result.
260 The to-be-applied source code patch can be specified by providing a L<patch(1)>
261 file (B<--patch=>I<PATCH_FILE>) or by providing a file extension
262 (B<--diffext=>I<EXTENSION>).
264 If a file extension is specified, then the desired source code patch will be
265 determined by comparing all of the files in the I<KERNEL_SOURCE> directory tree
266 whose names end with the extra extension I<EXTENSION> against the corresponding
267 files without the extra extension. Only the new files containing the extra
268 extension in their filenames should be modified.
270 Here is an example of using a file extension to specify a patch:
272 $ cp KERNEL_SOURCE/kernel/sys.c KERNEL_SOURCE/kernel/sys.c.prctl_fixed
273 [edit sys.c.prctl_fixed to include the desired changes]
274 $ ksplice-create --diffext=.prctl_fixed KERNEL_SOURCE
276 KERNEL_SOURCE must be a directory containing the to-be-updated kernel's
277 original source code. If your Linux distribution applies patches to the Linux
278 kernel during the kernel build process, then those patches must be applied to
279 the I<KERNEL_SOURCE> directory before invoking B<ksplice-create> on that
280 directory. B<ksplice-create> will not modify the source code in the
281 I<KERNEL_SOURCE> directory tree, but it will perform a kernel build in that
282 directory tree.
284 I<ORIG_CONFIG> can be used to specify the directory containing the
285 to-be-updated kernel's original F<.config> file and original F<System.map> file
286 (the files should have exactly those names). I<ORIG_CONFIG> defaults to
287 I<KERNEL_SOURCE>B</ksplice>.
289 The default L<gcc(1)> compiler and L<as(1)> assembler on the system should be as
290 close to the compiler and assembler originally used to build the running kernel
291 as possible. If the current compiler and linker are too different from the
292 original compiler and linker, B<ksplice-apply> will abort when applying the
293 update.
295 B<ksplice-create> outputs a L<tar(1)> file, compressed with L<gzip(1)>,
296 containing the desired Ksplice update modules. This tarball will be created in
297 the current directory, and it can be manipulated using the other Ksplice
298 utilities, such as B<ksplice-apply>.
300 The first time that B<ksplice-create> is invoked on a I<KERNEL_SOURCE>
301 directory, it must build that kernel from scratch, which is much slower than
302 the rest of the update-creation process. B<--prebuild> can be used to perform
303 this initial kernel build (and set up a tentative B<post> directory tree)
304 without providing a source code patch.
306 In order to patch a function that has previously been patched by Ksplice, the
307 user needs to ensure that the I<KERNEL_SOURCE> directory provided to Ksplice
308 contains the source for the currently running kernel, including any patches
309 that have previously been applied by Ksplice.
311 =head1 OPTIONS
313 =over 8
315 =item B<-v>, B<--verbose>
317 Prints the commands being executed, the output of the commands being executed,
318 and various other pieces of information.
320 =item B<-j> I<JOBS>, B<--jobs=>I<JOBS>
322 Specifies the number of jobs to run simultaneously while performing kernel
323 builds. B<ksplice-create> also honors the environment variable
324 CONCURRENCY_LEVEL.
326 =item B<--apply>
328 Immediately applies the generated update to the running kernel by invoking
329 B<ksplice-apply>.
331 =item B<--postdir=>I<DIRECTORY>
333 Specifies a directory that is B<dedicated to Ksplice> to be used as the Ksplice
334 I<post> directory. Defaults to I<ORIG_CONFIG>B</post>. If this directory
335 exists, the directory's contents will be removed. If it does not exist, it
336 will be created.
338 =item B<--patch-opt=>I<OPTIONS>
340 Can be used to pass options to L<patch(1)>. If this option is NOT specified, then
341 B<-p1> is passed to B<patch>. If this option is specified, then only the
342 specified options will be passed to B<patch>. This option can be repeated in
343 order to pass multiple options to B<patch>. This option is ignored when the
344 to-be-applied source code patch is specified using B<--diffext>.
