[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/linux-headers: apply all Linux patches when BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_AS_KERNEL=y

[Yann E. MORIN]

Thomas, All,

On 2019-08-04 11:36 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> When BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_AS_KERNEL=y, we expect that the Linux kernel
> headers code will be exactly the same as the Linux kernel code
> itself. The code currently takes into account the patches defined by
> BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH, but not the kernel patches that are stored in
> linux's BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR.

> With:

> board/qemu/riscv32-virt/patches/

>     └── 0001-Revert-riscv-Use-latest-system-call-ABI.patch
>

The question you had in your previous, informal patch, was about the
ordering of the patches. The patches from global_patch_dir are always
applied after the patches we carry for a package, so the way you did it
here is correct I believe.
