NOTE: do not attempt to use CONFIG_LOCALVERSION as this _will_ break the build.īuilding the kernel is quite easy. Note that when a new Ubuntu kernel is released that will be newer than your kernel (which needs regenerating), so care is needed when upgrading. This will help identify your kernel when running as it also appears in uname -a. Add something like "+test1" to the end of the first version number in the debian.master/changelog file, before building. In order to make your kernel "newer" than the stock Ubuntu kernel from which you are based you should add a local version modifier. The chmod is needed because the way the source package is created, it loses the executable bits on the scripts. This takes the current configuration for each architecture/flavour supported and calls menuconfig to edit its config file. LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs # you need to go through each (Y, Exit, Y, Exit.) or get a complaint about config later The simplest way to modify anything here is to run: The build process will use a configuration that is put together from various sub-config files. This step can be skipped if no configuration changes are wanted. git clone git:///ubuntu/ubuntu-disco.git.git clone git:///ubuntu/ubuntu-.gitįor example to obtain the Disco Dingo tree:.To obtain a local copy you can simply git clone the repository for the release you are interested in as shown below. The source for each release is maintained in its own git repository on. apt-get source linux-image-unsigned-$(uname -r)Īll of the Ubuntu Kernel source is maintained under git.For example to obtain the source for the currently running kernel you can use the command:
#How to emulate linux kernel code
The source code which generated a specific binary package may be obtained using the apt-get source command. However, if you wish to get the most up to date sources for the Ubuntu release you are running and make changes to that, use the git method (described below) to obtain the sources. If you have installed a version of Ubuntu and you want to make changes to the kernel that is installed on your system, use the apt-get method (described below) to obtain the sources. The two main ways will be documented here. There are a number of different ways of getting the kernel sources.

Obtaining the source for an Ubuntu release For example, on Disco Dingo you should have: The above command requires your system to have the correct deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list.

If you are going to be using git, install it via: sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev gawk flex bison openssl libssl-dev dkms libelf-dev libudev-dev libpci-dev libiberty-dev autoconf llvm.The current Disco Dingo release requires the following additional packages. Unfortunately, the above does not install all of the necessary dependencies. sudo apt-get build-dep linux linux-image-$(uname -r).If you have not built a kernel on your system before, there are some packages needed before you can successfully build. It is not intended to be the definitive guide to doing Ubuntu kernel development. The purpose of this page is to give that user a minimum amount of information for them to meet the goal of making a simple change to the kernel, building it and installing their kernel. In many cases the user just wants to make a kernel configuration change. The majority of users that are interested in building their own kernel are doing so because they have installed Ubuntu on their system and they wish to make a small change to the kernel for that system.

This page describes how to build the kernel.
