I know I'm late and this has gone through so many revisions, but I'm seeing unexplained changes in buildhistory:

$ buildhistory-diff
packages/corei7-64-intel-common-poky-linux/linux-intel/kernel-image-bzimage: FILELIST: removed "/boot/bzImage"

Doing builds of virtual/kernel with and without this patch and comparing pkgdata directly confirms that the /boot/bzImage symlink doesn't exist with this patch but does without it.

No problem! Thanks for all the good feedback. I think we shook out most of the gremlins in the last few months.

Let me know if you need help with boot loader integration.

Haris,

Thanks for your patience on this process.  This version works well, now
I have the extra work of getting these kernel known to systemd-boot!

Some distros may want to provide alternate kernel "flavors" via feeds
or
within bootable images. For example, readily available builds which
provide certain diagnostic features can enable developers and testers
to
more quickly resolve issues by avoiding lengthy kernel builds.

This change allows for building multiple flavors of the kernel and
module packages by templatizing kernel package names via a new
KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME variable in kernel.bbclass. It defaults to the
old
name of "kernel", but can be overridden by certain recipes providing
alternate kernel flavors.

To maintain compatibility, recipes providing alternate kernel flavors
cannot be the "preferred provider" for virtual/kernel. This is
because
OE puts the preferred provider's build and source at
"tmp-glibc/work-shared/$MACHINE/kernel-build-artifacts/" and
"tmp-glibc/work-shared/$MACHINE/kernel-source/" instead of
"tmp-glibc/work/*/$PN/" like other recipes. Therefore, recipes using
the
default KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME="kernel" follows the old semantics --
build
in the old location and may be preferred provider -- while recipes
using
all other KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME's build from the normal WORKDIR and
don't
provide "virtual/kernel".

Testing:
  1. Add `KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME_pn-linux-yocto-tiny = "tiny-linux"`
     to local.conf so that linux-yocto-tiny may build alongside
     the main kernel (linux-yocto).
  2. `bitbake linux-yocto linux-yocto-tiny` to build both kernel
flavors.
  3. Verified image and modules IPKs exist for both:
     tmp-glibc/deploy/ipk/qemux86/kernel-* for linux-yocto
     tmp-glibc/deploy/ipk/qemux86/tiny-linux* for linux-yocto-tiny
  4. Verified linux-yocto is the "preferred provider", and was built
in
     shared directory: tmp-glibc/work-shared/qemux86/kernel-*
  5. Add `CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL_append_pn-core-image-base = "tiny-
linux"`
     to local.conf to install both kernel flavors in core-image-base.
  6. `bitbake core-image-base` to build an image.
  7. Verified image contains two bzImage's under /boot/, with
     "yocto-standard" (linux-yocto recipe) selected to boot via
symlink.

[PATCH v2] Change STAGING_KERNEL_DIR and STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR to
the
"work" directory in alternate kernel builds, instead of "work-
shared",
so
that the two builds don't clobber each other.

[PATCH v3] An updated version of this change rebased onto the current
OE-core master. Changes:
  - Remove PREFERRED_PROVIDER check in linux-yocto.inc in alternate
    kernel builds, since alternate kernels aren't the
    PREFERRED_PROVIDER for virtual/kernel by definition.
  - Remove "virtual/kernel" from PROVIDES in alternate kernel builds.

[PATCH v4] Another rebase onto master; no functional change.
Improved description and testing steps.

[PATCH v5]
  - Warn when PN == KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME (bug # 11905)
  - Add KERNEL_DEPLOYSUBDIR to avoid DEPLOYDIR collisions

[PATCH v6] Add KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME to kernel-module-split.bbclass for
module recipes; fixes lttng-modules build.

[PATCH v7] Remove second definition of KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME from
kernel-module-split.bbclass; apply a default in two places where
KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME is referenced.

[PATCH v8] Rebase onto current master and more fixups.
  - kernel-devicetree.bbclass: Fixup package names
  - depmodwrapper-cross: don't error when called from alt kernel
recipes
  - kernel.bbclass: Don't install /boot/image symlink in alt recipes

[PATCH v9]
  - Add feature tracking tag
  - Update testing section to define vars in local.conf
  - Add KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME check to *-rt recipes
