The kernel-srpm-macros package
This source package results in two "binary" packages, kernel-rpm-macros and kernel-srpm-macros. The role and locations of files is as follows:
kernel-srpm-macros:
/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/kmod.attr For /lib/modules/XYZ/modules.builtin and .../MODULE.ko.XYZ specifies a Lua script to generate kmod(MODULE.ko) "Provides:" deps /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.kernel-srpm Automatically included by all rpm invocations. Defines %kernel_arches (try rpm --eval '%kernel_arches') Question: what uses this macro? I didn't find any users.
kernel-rpm-macros:
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides.ksyms Runs from rpmbuild at the end of kernel builds and 3rd party module builds, to extract kernel(SYMBOL)=0xHASH "Provides:" deps from modules in kernel packages, and ksym(SYMBOL)=0xHASH for 3rd party modules. Takes input list of files on stdin. /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/provided_ksyms.attr For newer rpmbuild with "internal dependency generators", this file specifies that find-provides.ksyms should be run only on .ko.XYZ files (with "external dependency generators", the script needs to filter out the files by itself).
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires.ksyms ? /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/required_ksyms.attr For newer rpmbuild with "internal dependency generators", this file specifies that find-requires.ksyms should be run only on .ko.XYZ files, and not for /lib/modules/XYZ/kernel/* (IOW: only for building 3rd-party modules)
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides.d/modalias.prov Runs from rpmbuild at the end of kernel builds and 3rd party module builds, to extract modalias(pci:SOMETHING)=OPTIONALLY_VERSION "Provides:" deps from modules in kernel and 3rd party modules packages. Takes input list of files on stdin. Question: what uses these deps? /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/modalias.attr For newer rpmbuild with "internal dependency generators", this file specifies that modalias.prov should be run only on .ko.XYZ files
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides.d/firmware.prov ?
/usr/lib/rpm/kabi.sh Runs from rpmbuild at the end of kernel build to extract kernel(SYMBOL)=0xHASH "Provides:" deps. /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/kabi.attr For newer rpmbuild with "internal dependency generators", this file specifies that kabi.sh should be run on /boot/symvers-* and /lib/modules/XYZ/symvers.gz
/usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.kmp Automatically included by all rpm invocations. Defines a number of macros.
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-kmod-restore-perms ? /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-kmod-set-exec-bit ?
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/kmodtool ? /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmsort ? /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/symset-table ?
