Fix kernel reproducible build if a non-C locale is used on the host
system.
When building the Linux kernel, scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh does 'date
-d"$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP" +%s'. In linux.mk, Buildroot sets
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to "$(shell date -d @$(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH))".
For example, if LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 is defined in the host system, it does
not work:
- LC_ALL=C date -d"$(LC_ALL=C date)" : ok
- LC_ALL=C date -d"$(LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 date)" : error
LANG/LC_ALL variables exported in the main Makefiles are not passed in
the $(shell ...) sub-shells.

This feature is incompatible with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE. This patch overload build

Note that usage of KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is not mandatory since Buildroot

The kernel source tree also contains the sources for various userland
tools, of which cpupower, perf or selftests.
Currently, we have support for building those tools as part of the
kernel build procedure. This looked the correct thing to do so far,
because, well, they *are* part of the kernel source tree and some
really have to be the same version as the kernel that will run.
However, this is causing quite a non-trivial-to-break circular
dependency in some configurations. For example, this defconfig fails to
build (similar to the one reported by Paul):
BR2_arm=y
BR2_cortex_a7=y
BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_VFPV4=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="26f3b72a9c049be10e6af196252283e1f6ab9d1f"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="bcm2709"
BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_CPUPOWER=y
BR2_PACKAGE_CRYPTODEV=y
BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCURL=y
This causes a circular dependency, as explained by Thomas:
- When libcurl is enabled, systemd depends on it
- When OpenSSL is enabled, obviously, will use it for SSL support
- When cryptodev-linux is enabled, OpenSSL will depend on it to use
crypto accelerators supported in the kernel via cryptodev-linux.
- cryptodev-linux being a kernel module, it depends on linux
- linux by itself (the kernel) does not depend on pciutils, but the
linux tool "cpupower" (managed in linux-tool-cpupower) depends on
pciutils
- pciutils depends on udev when available
- udev is provided by systemd.
And indeed, during the build, we can see that make warns (it's only
reported as a *warning*, not as an actual error):
[...]
make[1]: Circular /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/openssl-1.0.2h/.stamp_configured
<- cryptodev-linux dependency dropped.
>>> openssl 1.0.2h Downloading
[...]
So the build fails later on, when openssl is actually built:
eng_cryptodev.c:57:31: fatal error: crypto/cryptodev.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
<builtin>: recipe for target 'eng_cryptodev.o' failed
Furthermore, graph-depends also detects the circular dependency, but
treats it as a hard-error:
Recursion detected for : cryptodev-linux
which is a dependency of: openssl
which is a dependency of: libcurl
which is a dependency of: systemd
which is a dependency of: udev
which is a dependency of: pciutils
which is a dependency of: linux
which is a dependency of: cryptodev-linux
Makefile:738: recipe for target 'graph-depends' failed
Of course, there is no way to break the loop without losing
functionality in either one of the involved packages *and* keep
our infrastructure and packages as-is.
The only solution is to break the loop at the linux-tools level, by
moving them away into their own package, so that the linux package will
no longer have the opportunity to depend on another package via a
dependency of one the tools.
All three linux tools are thus moved away to their own package.
The package infrastructure only knows of three types of packages: those
in package/ , in boot/ , in toolchain/ and the one in linux/ . So we
create that new linux-tools package in package/ so that we don't have to
fiddle with yet another special case in the infra. Still, we want its
configure options to appear in the kernel's sub-menu.
So, we make it a prompt-less package, with only the tools visible as
options of that package, but without the usual dependency on their
master symbol; they only depend on the Linux kernel.
Furthermore, because the kernel is such a huge pile of code, we would
not be very happy to extract it a second time just for the sake of a few
tools. We can't extract only the tools/ sub-directory from the kernel
source either, because some tools have hard-coded path to includes from
the kernel (arch and stuff).
Instead, we just use the linux source tree as our own build tree, and
ensure the linux tree is extracted and patched before linux-tools is
configured and built.

We used to do a special handling of Linux kernel modules when stripping
target binaries because there's some special precious data in modules
that we must keep for them to properly operate. This is for example true
for stack unwinding data etc.
It turned out there're cases when our existing "strip --strip-unneeded"
doesn't work well. For example this removes .debug_frame section used by
Linux on ARC for stack unwinding, refer to [1] and [2] for more details.
Now Linux kernel may strip modules as a part of "modules_install" target
if INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 is passed in command line. And so we'll do
allowing kernel decide how to strip modules in the best way.
Still note as of today Linux kernel strips modules uniformly for all
arches with "strip" command, so this commit alone doesn't solve
mentioned problem but it opens a possibility to add later a patch to the
kernel which will strip modules for ARC differently - and that's our
plan for mainline kernel.

This reverts commit 73da2ff6f7.
The reason for adding support for a local location was to be able to do
development on the Linux kernel source tree on a local directory rather
than have to clone it for every build.
We already have a mechanism for that, it's called override-srcdir. It's
been available since September 2011, more than a year before this patch
was committed.
Otherwise, we're going to be adding support for local sources in other
packages. First was U-Boot as submitted by Adam. But what next? We can't
have such support for all packages, especially since override-srcdir
does the job.
Besides, using a local source tree makes the build non-reproducible, so
we don't really want to have this in a .config (or defconfig).
We only handle the boolean option in legacy, as there is nothing we can
do with the directory path.

To configure the Linux kernel, we currently provide two options:
1. Passing a defconfig name (for example "multi_v7"), to which we append
"_defconfig" to run "make multi_v7_defconfig".
2. Passing a path to a custom configuration file.
Unfortunately, those two possibilities do not allow to configure the
kernel when you want to use the default configuration built into the
kernel for a given architecture. For example, on ARM64, there is a
single defconfig simply called "defconfig", which you can load by
running "make defconfig".
Using the mechanism (1) above doesn't work because we append
"_defconfig" automatically.
One solution would be to change (1) and require the user to enter the
full defconfig named (i.e "multi_v7_defconfig" instead of "multi_v7"),
but we would break all existing Buildroot configurations.
So instead, we add a third option, which simply tells Buildroot to use
the default configuration for the selected architecture. In this case,
Buildroot will configure the kernel by running "make defconfig".

Commit ab74e09eb4 renamed the dtc host tool
provided by linux to linux-dtc to avoid clashes with the dtc host tool
provided by host-dtc.
However, external scripting may well rely on the existence of a device tree
compiler as $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/dtc, regardless of its source. Changing
these external scripts to use linux-dtc means that the scripts need to be
aware of the buildroot release they are working with, which is not very
nice.
Add a symlink dtc->linux-dtc when no $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/dtc is present.
When host-dtc is not enabled, the end result will be dtc and
linux-dtc representing the same thing.
When host-dtc is enabled, either it is build before linux and no symlink
is created at any time, or it is build after linux, and the 'install'
command in host-dtc will overwrite the symlink with a proper dtc. In both
cases, the end result will be dtc and linux-dtc representing a different
thing.

Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider
zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing
uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed,
since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address,
except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply
better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format
on ARM.
All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select
explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need
to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.

This patch adds the ability to compile and install the kernel
selftests into the target at /usr/lib/kselftests. The rationale behind
/usr/lib is that the selftests have subdirectories where they are
installed which makes them unsuitable to be placed in /usr/sbin as
this would result in /usr/sbin/kselftests/x/y/z. While the selftests
aren't libraries either, they don't achieve much as a standalone
binary so they can be considered to be a 'library of tests' making
/usr/lib sensible.
The selftests require that the kernel headers be installed into the
kernel build tree as some of the selftests have a hardcoded CFLAGS to
include kernel headers (CFLAGS += -I../../../../usr/include/). This is
most easily achieved by using the make ... headers_install inside the
kernel build dir.
This is likely to be a rarely used debugging/performance feature for
development and unlikely to be used in a production configuration.

Regarding the documentation, it will forcefully try to detect asciidoc

We currently pass ASCIIDOC= (the empty string) on the make command line,
as an attempt to disable building the documentation, but that has no

sub-sub-make (yes, a two-level depth) that is responsible for building

We really do not want to build any of the documentation (the user can
refer to the documentation on his own development machine), so we use a
little dirty trick: we provide a GNUmakefile beside the existing
Makefile for the documentation; GNUmakefile always takes precedence over
a Makefile when both are present. We only provide a catch-all-no-recipe

Kernels older than 3.9 (not counting stable releases) used the

The problem with this script is that it used deprecated perl features,
namely defined(@array) which was removed for the perl 5.22 release,
causing build failure of older kernels on newer distributions.
To fix this instead of going the hard way (moving to the new
timeconst.bc script) use the easy way by patching timeconst.pl with an
upstream patch used for stable releases.
First try a dry-run on the patch to see if it applies, if it does then
call a proper APPLY_PATCHES to it.
Tested against an arbitrary 2.6.30 kernel (applies and builds), against

Some heavily (and most often improperly) modified Linux kernels may export
new APIs to userland, so as to speak to custom hardware or custom kernel
facilities.
However, we currently have no easy way to use such kernels as a source
for the linux-headers package, which precludes having those userland
headers intalled for userland applications to use them.
We do have a way for the kernel to use the same version as for the
headers, but that is definitely not enough, as the linux-headers package
has a version choice that is far less versatile and capable than that of
the linux package.
Add a new option for the linux-headers package, for the user to specify
that the version (really, the sources) of the kernel be used to install
the headers from.
We do that by making linux-headers patch-depend on the linux package.
We can't have linux-header simply depend on linux, because the simple
dependency means the the dependee will be configured, built and installed
before the dependent is configured. And since linux is a target package,
it depends on the toolchain, which internally dependes on linux-headers,
which would depend on linux, and we'd get a circular dependency.
Using patch-depend will ensure that linux is extracted and patched
before linux-headers is extracted, which is really all we need.
Then, we install the headers from the linux source tree, rather than
from linux-headers' source tree (as there's nothing in there!).
Since we need to install a private set for uClibc (see cde947f, uclibc:
prevent rebuilding after installation to staging), we explicitly set
INSTALL_HDR_PATH when calling the kernel' install-headers rule in
LINUX_HEADERS_CONFIGURE_CMDS, so that the headers are installed in
linux-headers' $(@D) instead of linux' $(@D).
Finally, as there is no way to know the kernel version in this case, we
must still prompt the user for the kernel series the headers are from
(like we do for a custom version) and check for consistency at build
time.
Note however that this still leaves users that want to built their
such-kernel outside of Buildroot out in the cold.

Currently, packages that need the kernel to have support for laodable
modules have two ways to require it:
- either the use the kernel-module infra, which does it automatically,
- or they do not use it, and they need to require it manually by
setting the corresponding Makefile variable; however, they must only
set it when they are actually enabled, which makes for a slightly
cumbersome and ugly code, like:
ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_FOO),y)
LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES = y
endif
Introduce a new blind Kconfig option that packages can select to signify
they need kernel modules. That Kconfig option is then used to set the
Makefile variable.
It makes it cleaner:
- code is simpler (one Kconfig line instead of a Makefile if-block,
- this is handled at the Kconfig level, which is where we usually
handle such dependencies.
Packages will be updated in follow-up commits.

Currently, the linux.mk logic for appended DTB image does the
appending of the DTB in place, directly at the end of the zImage using
a >> sign. This is incorrect because if you run "make linux-rebuild"
multiple times, you get the DTB appended over and over again to the
image.
Since keeping the 'zImage' or 'uImage' name for the appended DTB image
is not very clear, this commit moves to using the 'zImage.<dtb>' and
'uImage.<dtb>' format. This way, we can clearly distinguish the
original image from the appended one.
In addition, this naming scheme easily allows to generate *multiple*
appended DTB images: from one zImage, you can generate multiple
zImage.<dtb> for several DTBs, and then generate (if requested) the
corresponding uImage.<dtb>.
To achieve this, this commit:
- Changes the definition of LINUX_APPENDED_DTB to iterate over
$(KERNEL_DTS_NAME), and generate a zImage.<dtb> image for each of
them.
- Changes the addition of LINUX_APPENDED_DTB for appended uImage to
also iterate over $(KERNEL_DTS_NAME).
- Provide a different implementation of LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE which
installs all the appended DTB images (but not the bare image)
- Remove the checks that verified that only one DT name is passed
when appended DTB is used, since we now support generating multiple
DT images.
Some of the tested configuration:
- Normal uImage with several DTBs

When you're using the "appended DTB" mode, the Device Tree blob gets
appended to your kernel image, so there is no point in installing both
the DTB and the kernel image to the images or target directories,
installing the kernel image itself is sufficient.
Therefore, this commit disables the definition of LINUX_INSTALL_DTB
when appended DTB is used.

Currently, the LINUX_INSTALL_DTB and LINUX_INSTALL_DTB_TARGET macros
are exactly the same, except for the target directory.
Similarly, LINUX_INSTALL_KERNEL_IMAGE_TO_TARGET and
LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGES_CMDS are copying the kernel image, just to a
different place (and with a different strategy).
As a preparation for future additions, this commit de-duplicate this
code:
- LINUX_INSTALL_DTB becomes a make macro that takes one argument: the
destination directory.
- LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE is a new make macro that also takes on
argument: the destination directory.
Both macros are used by LINUX_INSTALL_KERNEL_IMAGE_TO_TARGET and
LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGES_CMDS to respectively install to the target
directory and the images directory.

This commit removes BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH because this
option never worked. It was added in commit
8797a9cd1f, which added package/rtai/
and RTAI as a Linux extension.
The option prompt says "Path for RTAI patch file", so let's say you
specify /home/foo/bar/myrtai.patch as the value for
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH.
Then the code does:
RTAI_PATCH = $(call qstrip,$(BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH))
and we have a package called 'rtai', so the normal logic of
<pkg>_PATCH applies. Since the <pkg>_PATCH value does not contain
ftp://, http:// or https://, the package infrastructure will try to
download $(RTAI_SITE)/$(RTAI_PATCH), i.e:
https://www.rtai.org/userfiles/downloads/RTAI/home/foo/bar/myrtai.patch
Pretty clear that it has no chance of working.
Now, let's assume an URL is used as the value of
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH, such as
http://foo.com/bar/myrtai.patch. In this case, it will be properly
downloaded by the package infrastructure. But then, the following code
kicks in:
define RTAI_PREPARE_KERNEL
$(APPLY_PATCHES) \
$(LINUX_DIR) \
$(dir $(RTAI_PATCH)) \
$(notdir $(RTAI_PATCH))
endef
The value of $(dir $(RTAI_PATCH)) will be http://foo.com/bar/. How
can $(APPLY_PATCHES) make use of such a stupid patch location?

Since the move to the kconfig-package infra, linux extensions are
broken.
In our linux package, extensions are applied as pre-patch hooks.
Before the kconfig-package infra, we had custom rules for the
linux-*config targets, which were of the form:
linux-menuconfig: linux-configure
$(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) menuconfig
This caused the linux tree to be fully configured before running the
configurators, and thus linux dependencies were entirely fullfilled, and
extensions were properly applied.
Since we migrated (in dff25ea), the kconfig-package infra introduces a
(hidden, internal) intermediate step 'kconfig-fixup' and decorelates the
kconfig-part of the configuration from the actual package-part of the
configuration:
linux-configure -------> kconfig-fixup --> .config --> $(LINUX_CONFIG_FILE)
/
linux-menuconfig --'
As thus, this (very useful!) use-case breaks (starting from a clean
Buildroot tree):
make menuconfig
-> enable a kernel and at least one extension
-> save and exit
make linux-menuconfig
-> extensions are not available
Fix that by using the newly-introduced patch-dependencies, so that
extensions are available before we try to patch the linux kernel.

The linux package has a special handling of patches, with quite a bit
of legacy in it. A problem caused by this special handling is that the
linux package calls directly the DOWNLOAD_WGET macro, which means that
the package infrastructure isn't aware of which patches get
downloaded, and it prevents doing changes inside the package download
infrastructure.
This commit changes the handling of patches in the linux package in
the following way:
* The LINUX_PATCHES variable is kept as is: it lists all the patches
mentioned in the Config.in option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH. This
option can contain http://, ftp://, https:// URLs, path to local
files or local directories.
This variable is *not* used by the generic package infrastructure,
so it is purely internal to the Linux package.
* The LINUX_PATCH variable is now filled in with the list of patches
that should be downloaded. It is derived from LINUX_PATCHES by
filtering the patches that have http://, ftp:// or https:// in
their path. Since <pkg>_PATCH is handled by the package
infrastructure, it means that those patches are now automatically
downloaded and applied by the package infrastructure.
* The LINUX_APPLY_PATCHES hook is renamed to
LINUX_APPLY_LOCAL_PATCHES, because it is now only responsible of
applying local patches: remote patches are handled by
LINUX_PATCH. The implementation of the hook is changed to filter
out the patches that have already taken care of by LINUX_PATCH, so
that we only iterate through the list of local patches or local
patch directories.

When Buildroot is configured to append the root filesystem to the Linux
kernel as initramfs, Buildroot sets the path to the initramfs source
dynamically in the Linux configuration file.
As this path is specified as an absolute path, typically being different
for different users of the same project (e.g. containing a username),
saving the configuration to a version control system (for example using
'make linux-update-defconfig') would result in a difference for this
path at every invocation by a different user.
Although this is technically not an issue, it is confusing that this
generates a difference.
Address this issue by using a not-yet-expanded make variable to specify
the path to the initramfs source. That variable will be expanded by the
Linux build system, which uses it both as a Makefile variable and a
shell variable; thus, it needs to be specified in LINUX_MAKE_ENV (so
it is exported and available in sub-processes of make). Any saved
configuration file would simply contain the reference to the
not-yet-expanded variable.
As in the Linux build system, the config variables are both read from
make as from a shell script, we cannot use $() syntax as this would be
interpreted as a command invocation by the shell. Instead, use ${}
syntax which is interpreted as variable reference both by the shell as
by make.
[Thomas:
- Really make the patch work by using $(LINUX_MAKE_ENV) instead of
$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV). Otherwise, the new BR2_BINARIES_DIR variable is
not passed at all stages of the build process, which makes the
build fail when an initramfs is used.]

repository, DOWNLOAD macro uses git scheme as well and buildroot
tried to downlod a path using DOWNLOAD_GIT macro. As a result, nothing

- cmdline.txt: add 'fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:VGA8x8'
- add /etc/modules-load.d/fbtft.conf with 'fbtft_device'

[Thomas:
- Rename prompt of the Linux extension to "FB TFT drivers"
- Remove the full name of the kernel config options in the help
text. Giving their CONFIG_<foo> name is enough.
- Remove the mention of CONFIG_SPI_BCM2708, since this makes the
description RaspberryPi specific, while these drivers can work
with any SPI controller.
- Refactor the code in linux-ext-fbtft.mk to avoid duplication
between the < 3.15 and >= 3.15 cases.
- Make the fbtft package a promptless package, since there is no
point in selecting only this package, without the kernel
extension.
- Change the license to GPLv2, since it's kernel code.]

The current prompt seems to imply that we want to add Device Tree
support to the Linux kernel:
[*] Device tree support
But what it really means is that Buildroot will build a DTB.
Change the prompt so that it is obvious that this is the intended
behaviour, and users do not get mislead as to why Device Tree support is
not automatically added to their Linux kernel.

When running 'make printvars', the output stops at the time we dump the
Linux related variables, with:
linux/linux.mk:109: *** Recursive variable `LINUX_TARGET_NAME'
references itself (eventually). Stop.
And that's expected, since we have:
109 LINUX_TARGET_NAME = $(LINUX_IMAGE_NAME)
[...]
112 ifeq ($(LINUX_IMAGE_NAME),)
113 LINUX_IMAGE_NAME = $(LINUX_TARGET_NAME)
114 endif
Even though they are defined in a way that ensures they are in fact not
recursively defined (the if-block ensures that), 'printvars' does dump
all our variables by evaluating all of them, which in that specific case
implies they are recursively defined.
Fix that by explicitly setting LINUX_IMAGE_NAME in each if-block.

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and
does not align the assignment symbols.
This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package
infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable
names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched.
Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is.
The sed command used to do this replacement is:
find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*$#\1 \2#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\]\+\)$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\)\s*$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\(\s*\\\)#\1 \2\3#'
Brief explanation of this command:
^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\) a regular variable at the beginning of the line
\([?:+]\?=\) any assignment character =, :=, ?=, +=
\([^\\]\+\) any string not containing a line continuation
\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\) string, optional whitespace, followed by a
line continuation character
\(\s*\\\) optional whitespace, followed by a line
continuation character
Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second
handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with
line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line
continuation.
This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not
included)
FOO = spaces before
FOO = spaces before and after
FOO = tab before
FOO = tab and spaces before
FOO = tab after
FOO = tab and spaces after
FOO = spaces and tab after
FOO = \
FOO = bar \
FOO = bar space \
FOO = \
GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse
FOO += spaces before
FOO ?= spaces before and after
FOO :=
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
$(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C
AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \
AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0
After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done:
- fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed
expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line
continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have
changed, causing misalignment.
- qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which
actually makes the code more readable.
Finally, the end result was manually reviewed.

The echo statements in the kconfig helpers are currently using double
quotes. For KCONFIG_SET_OPT this is problematic when the value argument
itself contains a double quote (a string value). In this case, the statement
echo "$(1)=$(2)" >> $(3)
would become:
echo "FOO="string value"" >> /some/path/.config
resulting in the string
FOO=string value
in the config file, rather than the properly quoted
FOO="string value"
The linux package worked around this by escaping the quote characters, but
a prettier solution is to use single quoting in the helpers (or
alternatively use no quoting at all).
A side effect of this change is that a $variable in the key or value would
no longer be interpreted by the shell, removing any unexpected behavior.
This change is only really necessary for KCONFIG_SET_OPT, but for symmetry
reasons the other helpers are updated too.

SMACK stands for Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel. It is a Linux
Security Module which provides a Mandatory Access Control mechanism,
like SELinux, but aiming towards simplicity.
This package provides the tools to load/unload the policy from the
kernel as well as a library allowing applications to interact with
SMACK. The proper kernel options are also set.
[Thomas:
- fixed license to be LGPLv2.1 instead of LGPLv2.1+. Even though the
debian/copyright file has the "or later" indication, none of the .c
source files carry it, so I suppose LGPLv2.1 is more correct.
- added !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB dependency.
- added dependency on host-pkgconf, since Smack configure.ac uses
PKG_CHECK_MODULES.]
