Compile Kernel 4.9.13 to use with QEmu and ARM target

Compile Kernel 4.9.13 to use with QEmu and ARM target

First One, Download the kernel 
************************************************************
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.9.13.tar.gz

uncompress it
************************************************************
tar -zxvf linux-4.9.13.tar.gz 

going inside
************************************************************
cd linux-4.9.13/

Clean all the previous configuration that maybe in the Kernel
************************************************************
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/x-tools/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi- mrproper

In my case, I got the configuration to Multi Arch ARM v7.
************************************************************
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/x-tools/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi- multi_v7_defconfig

Use the menuconfig to set your LOCALVERSION if you want
************************************************************
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/x-tools/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig
(-MarioTPC) in my particular case.
[mariotpc@fedora31 linux-4.9.13]$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/x-tools/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi- kernelrelease
4.9.13-MarioTPC

Just Remember
************************************************************
uImage is used with U-Boot
bzImage is commonly used un x86
zImage is used in other platforms like ARM
Image is the ELF format bin

compile it
************************************************************
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/x-tools/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi- zImage

The result is:
  LD      init/built-in.o
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms1.o
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms2.o
  LD      vmlinux
  SORTEX  vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/Image
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready

[mariotpc@fedora31 linux-4.9.13]$ ls arch/arm/boot/

As Second Stage
************************************************************
You must compile the Modules
This is done as follows.

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/x-tools/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi- modules

As the Third Stage
************************************************************
Compile the Flat Device Tree Blob
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/x-tools/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi- dtbs
