Allow the kernel include file to be skipped, even if a kernel is capable of merging and using the fragments in the layer and kernel-cache. Setting SKIP_META_VIRT_KERNEL_INCLUDE="t" in a kernel bbappend, or in a configuration file will inhibit the generated / detected include file. BUT If that opt-out is done, we warn, as the user has explicitly disabled safeguards that help ensure that subtle runtime issues aren't introduced. BUT If someone really knows what they are doing, they don't want the warning to be present in each build. So setting META_VIRT_KERNEL_CHECK_WARNING_INHIBIT="t" will inhibit the message. At that point, you have jumped through all the hoops and you are free to ensure your kernel configuration is correct using other means. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com> |

meta-virtualization
This layer provides support for building Xen, KVM, Libvirt, and associated packages necessary for constructing OE-based virtualized solutions.
The bbappend files for some recipes (e.g. linux-yocto) in this layer need to have 'virtualization' in DISTRO_FEATURES to have effect. To enable them, add in configuration file the following line.
DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " virtualization"
If meta-virtualization is included, but virtualization is not enabled as a distro feature a warning is printed at parse time:
You have included the meta-virtualization layer, but
'virtualization' has not been enabled in your DISTRO_FEATURES. Some bbappend files
may not take effect. See the meta-virtualization README for details on enabling
virtualization support.
If you know what you are doing, this warning can be disabled by setting the following variable in your configuration:
SKIP_META_VIRT_SANITY_CHECK = 1
Depending on your use case, there are other distro features in meta-virtualization that may also be enabled:
- xen: enables xen functionality in various packages (kernel, libvirt, etc)
- kvm: enables KVM configurations in the kernel and autoloads modules
- k8s: enables kubernets configurations in the kernel, tools and configuration
- aufs: enables aufs support in docker and linux-yocto
- x11: enable xen and libvirt functionality related to x11
- selinux: enables functionality in libvirt and lxc
- systemd: enable systemd services and unit files (for recipes for support)
- sysvinit: enable sysvinit scripts (for recipes with support)
- seccomp: enable seccomp support for packages that have the capability.
