I narrowed this down. The problem is that zinstall on ARCH=arm has a
dependency to vmlinux which does a prepare/prepare3 and finally does a
forced rebuild of kernel.release even if it exists already.
Rebuilding it removes kernel.release first and then recreates it. This
might race with another parallel make job running depmod.
So on arm and maybe other archs we need the same as for x86:
1648e4f8 x86, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux
The patch below fixes this for arm. It is build-tested in my
environment, but please test it in others too if possible.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux
Install targets (install, zinstall, uinstall) on arm have a dependency
to vmlinux. This may cause parts of the kernel to be rebuilt during
installation. We must avoid this since this may run as root. Install
targets "ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT MODIFY THE SOURCE TREE." as Linus
emphasized this in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/10/600
So on arm and maybe other archs we need the same as for x86:
1648e4f8 x86, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux
This patch fixes this for arm. Dependencies are removed and instead a
check to install.sh is added for the files that are needed.
This issue was uncovered by this build error where the -j option is
used in conjunction with install targets:
$ make <makeflags>
$ make <makeflags> zinstall
...
DEPMOD
Usage: .../scripts/depmod.sh /sbin/depmod <kernelrelease>
(INSTALL_MOD_PATH and INSTALL_PATH variables set, so no root perms
required in this case.)
The problem is that zinstall on arm due to its dependency to vmlinux
does a prepare/prepare3 and finally does a forced rewrite of
kernel.release even if it exists already.
Rebuilding kernel.release removes it first and then recreates it. This
might race with another parallel make job running depmod.
So this patch should fix this one too.
Also quoting $(KERNELRELEASE) arg for install.sh as this messes
argument order in case it is empty (which is the case if the kernel
was not built yet).

Ack. This looks like the right thing to do.
That said, I think for clarity you might perhaps want to make the
unrelated change of adding double quotes around $(KERNELRELEASE) a
separate patch. Not a big deal, but it took me a moment to say "why
did he do that" (in fact, I'm not sure KERNEL_RELEASE can actually
validly have spaces in it, but quoting it is certainly not wrong
either - but it might be unnecessary.

If kernel.release doen't exist KERNEL_RELEASE is empty, thus all args
for install.sh shift one arg left. Putting it in quotes avoids this.
Noticed this since the first verified file in install.sh ($2) should
be the image file but was already System.map ($3).
Will splitt the patches and resend.

You know what? I read the patch, but I didn't read your changelog well
enough. You already explained that in the commit log, and I just
missed it like some blind monkey. My bad.

No need to split, I was wrong, it wasn't some unrelated cleanup, and
you were right the first time.
So Michal (or ARM people - whoever wants to take the patch), just take
my ack. No objections.

You know what? I read the patch, but I didn't read your changelog well
enough. You already explained that in the commit log, and I just
missed it like some blind monkey. My bad.

I can add it to the kbuild tree if needed. Otherwise you can add

This didn't make it upstream yet, can somebody at it to a tree?

Since it's been acked-by Linus, I'll queue it in my tree, for Michal to
pull from. Expect a pull-request soon.

Sorry for chiming in that late, but I didn't think of this when reading the
original submission.
Just doing "make oldconfig; make install" used to work.
Removing the dependency of "make vmlinux" on vmlinux breaks this, doesn't it?
I had the habit of doing the above many years ago, when I was mostly doing
native builds, and before I had my own custom linux-install-kernel
script that e.g.
knows how to copy kernels and modules around to NFS servers.
Not that I'm strongly attached to it, but there may be other users...

We can't eat the cake and have it :). What can be done is to make
arch/arm/boot/install.sh print a friendlier error message, like the x86
version does:
if [ ! -f "$1" ]; then
echo "" 1>&2
echo " *** Missing file: $1" 1>&2
echo ' *** You need to run "make" before "make install".' 1>&2
echo "" 1>&2
exit 1

On ARM and maybe other architectures.

Yes.

We can't eat the cake and have it :). What can be done is to make
arch/arm/boot/install.sh print a friendlier error message, like the x86
version does:
if [ ! -f "$1" ]; then
echo "" 1>&2
echo " *** Missing file: $1" 1>&2
echo ' *** You need to run "make" before "make install".' 1>&2
echo "" 1>&2
exit 1
fi

Until 2009 it also worked on x86 ;-)
