[Bug 1671246] Re: kexec-tools does not build for armhf

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Manoj, or anyone else affected,

Accepted kexec-tools into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-
tools/1:2.0.10-1ubuntu2.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

Status in kexec-tools source package in Yakkety:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On armhf system kexec build fails as follows:
  gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I./include -I./util_lib/include -Iinclude/ -I./kexec/libfdt -I./kexec/arch/arm/include  -c -MD -o kexec/arch/arm/phys_to_virt.o kexec/arch/arm/phys_to_virt.c
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'kexec/arch/arm/iomem.o', needed by 'build/sbin/kexec'.  Stop.

  The fix for this issue is already upstream:

  Subject: [PATCH] arm: do not build iomem.o target with no soruce

  Header files should be added to the distribution but not
  used to derive targets for compilation. In this an attempt was
  made to build iomem.o, but iomem.c does not exist so this fails.

  Fixes: 1574ff1aae4f ("arm: include phys_to_virt.h and iomem.h in distribution")

  [Test Case]
  Build kexec-tools package from Xenial/Yakkety source in armhf system.

  [Regression Potential]
  Since patch is confined to arm there is a low overall risk of regression
