A Workflow to build Android Kernel automatically

[!IMPORTANT] This workflow is universal. You need to have a certain foundation in writing github workflows and a little knowledge of the Android kernel to use this.

Warning

Strongly recommends using the stable version (tags such as v1.2) instead of the development version (main branch), because main branch is not a stable branch which may have some technical problems.

How to use?

First, you need to determine the kernel source code and configuration files.
Find your kernel source repository and configure the workflow file according to the following example and README.md:

name: CI

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build-kernel:
    name: Build Kernel
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - name: Build
        uses: dabao1955/kernel_build_action@main
        with:
          kernel-url: https://github.com/AcmeUI-Devices/android_kernel_xiaomi_cas
          kernel-branch: taffy
          config: cas_defconfig
          arch: arm64
          aosp-gcc: true
          aosp-clang: true
          android-version: 12
          aosp-clang-version: r383902

Or use the preset workflow file to modify it.

[!NOTE] You do not need to fork this repository.

If you just want to compile the kernel, please do not submit PR after modification!

Finally, run the workflow you just wrote.

FAQ

[!CAUTION] Please Read this first if you have some questions!

How to use 3rd clang？

You should disable aosp-clang and android-ndk options to use it.

Why KernelSU version built with this action is still v0.9.5？

See KernelSU 's release note for more details.

How to submit issue about features requests?

In principle, it only accept Bug Reports and do not accept external Feature Requests; if you want new features, you are welcome to submit a Pull Request. We will still develop new features that we think are useful.

Why the workflow exits with a code with an error value of some nubmer？

If you get an error while downloading the toolchain or pulling the source code, please check whether your option or source code address is legitimate.
If you encounter problems during compilation, consider replacing the source code or replacing the compiler.
If action has some typo problem,PR welcome！

Build failed while using third-party GCC ?

Try add LLVM=1 option with clang.
