6cff741eba package/ccache: do not force colored diagnostics
When GCC_COLORS is set, ccache passes '-fdiagnostics-color' to GCC but
this flag requires GCC v4.9 or later. Older versions complain about the
unrecognized command line option.

Using GCC_COLORS in the context of Buildroot is seldom useful, so we
just unexport GCC_COLORS altogether.

a818e29e76 arch: add OpenRISC architecture support
Add support for OpenRISC. See here for more details about
OpenRISC http://openrisc.io.

All buildroot included upstream binutils versions are supported.
Gcc support is not upstream, to be able to enable musl C library
support later, we use the branch with musl support.
At the moment it is possible to build a musl based toolchain,
but bootup in Qemu fails.

Gdb is only working to debug bare-metal code, there is no support
for gdbserver/gdb on Linux, yet.

90605b8fe7 Makefile: move SED definition into the main Makefile
Since commit f71a621d91, we are using the
SED variable in the main Makefile. However, this variable is only
defined in package/Makefile.in, which gets included only when a
configuration is defined.

This means that, if you do:

 $ make menuconfig savedefconfig

without a configuration defined, it fails with:

/bin/bash: /BR2_DEFCONFIG=/d: No such file or directory
Makefile:898: recipe for target 'savedefconfig' failed
make[1]: *** [savedefconfig] Error 127

This issue affects users of the "buildroot-submodule" project, which
does menuconfig+savedefconfig automatically. They worked around this
issue in commit
d12676b608,
but really "make menuconfig savedefconfig" should work out of the box.

6caa76db22 Makefile: drop redundant shell call when deriving BASE_DIR
Commit 173135df5b ("core: re-enter make if
$(CURDIR) or $(O) are not canonical paths") introduced the CANONICAL_O
variable, defined as:

CANONICAL_O := $(shell mkdir -p $(O) >/dev/null 2>&1)$(realpath $(O))

This duplicates the definition of BASE_DIR, by different means:

BASE_DIR := $(shell mkdir -p $(O) && cd $(O) >/dev/null && pwd)

So one of these shell calls is redundant. CANONICAL_O is defined first,
so this commit replaces the BASE_DIR derivation with $(CANONICAL_O).

5b7013c4ae Makefile: fix ignored trace at target-finalize
Make may throw an error (but ignored) trace when cleaning up the
rootfs.

The target-finalize rule intends to remove the folder
`$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share' but this directory may still contain items
(such as the `udhcpc' helper script) and causes the rmdir to fail.

The stderr output is redirected to /dev/null but it returns and error
which is escaped by the leading `-'; but make reports an ignored-error.

See the log below:
$ make
(...)
rm -rf (...)/target/usr/share/gtk-doc
rmdir (...)/target/usr/share
rmdir: failed to remove '(...)/target/usr/share': Directory not empty
make[1]: [Makefile:650: target-finalize] Error 1 (ignored)

This patch apply the same rule at the instruction immediately after:
* redirecting stderr to /dev/null (already done) and
* executing true if the `rmdir' instruction fails.

9b91b21dae Makefile: add '-n' to gzip invocations to improve reproducibility
Default invocation to gzip include timestamp in output file. This feature is
incompatible with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE. It is possible to disable it with '-n'.

The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default options for gzip. So
instead to find all gzip invocation in build process, we just export 'GZIP=-n'.

Notice bzip2, lzma and xz are not impacted by this problem. On the other hand, lzop
does include timestamp and does not provide any way to disable it.

2048e22fa1 core: remove redundant "override O := $(O)"
The top-level Makefile contains an "override O := $(O)" statement that
is purportedly required to make sure the O flag doesn't leak into the
environment of sub-makes. However, since commit 173135d, there is
already an "override O := ..." a few lines down. Therefore, the first
override is redundant.

5e3f89666b core: don't reset MAKEOVERRIDES when re-entering make
We reset MAKEOVERRIDES to avoid passing down variables that are
overridden on the command line to the package build systems. Indeed,
the variables overridden on the command line will be Buildroot
variables and not relevant to the package build system. In particular
the O option is used by some packages and the value passed in on the
command line is plain wrong for the individual package.

However, in commit 916e614b, MAKEOVERRIDES was moved earlier and it
was reset _before_ re-entering make in the cases when something has
to be fixed up (incorrect umask, non-absolute paths in O or CURDIR).
Therefore, if make is re-entered, any command line overrides are lost.

This particularly bites the autobuilders, because they use
O=<relative path> to specify the output directory, and they add
BR2_JLEVEL=... to avoid starting too many jobs in parallel. The
BR2_JLEVEL override is lost.

56cf561293 pkg-infra: allow dumping reverse dependencies of a package
Finding the packages that select another one in a specific configuration
is not very trivial:

  - when optional, the dependency is not expressed in Kconfig

  - looking at the .mk files is not very nice.

Introduce a way to dump reverse dependencies of packages, i.e. the list
of packages that directly depend on that package. Like for direct
dependencies, we limit the list to the first-order reverse dependencies.

Document it in the main help; use the opportunity to also document
foo-show-depends.

173135df5b core: re-enter make if $(CURDIR) or $(O) are not canonical paths
When $(CURDIR) and/or $(O) contain symlinks in their paths, they can be
resolved differently, depending on each package build-system (whether it
uses the given paths or get the absolute canonical ones).

Using absolute canonical paths will help achieving reproducible builds and
will make easier tracking down host machine paths leaking into the host,
target or staging trees.
So, this change ensures the build takes place with the CURDIR and O
variables are set to their absolute canonical paths.

In order to recall the toplevel makefile with absolute canonical paths
for $(CURDIR) and $(O), we need to:
1- Compute the absolute canonical paths for $(CURDIR) and $(O) that will
   be passed to the sub-make. This is achieved using the 'realpath' make
   primitive. However, some care must be taken when manipulating O:
   - the out-of-tree makefile wrapper happens a trailing "/.", we need
     to strip this part away to not break the comparison driving the
     sub-make call;
   - the user can leave a trailing '/' to $(O);
   - according to [1,2], realpath returns an empty string in case of
     non-existing entry. So, to avoid passing an empty O= variable to
     sub-make, it is necessary to define the output directory and create
     it prior to call realpath on it (because on the first invocation,
     $(O) usually does not yet exists), hence the trick doing the mkdir
     right before calling realpath.
2- Update EXTRAMAKEARGS with the absolute canonical $(O) and use it
   when call recalling the top-level makefile with umask and paths
   correctly set.
3- Lastly, update the condition for setting the CONFIG_DIR and
   NEED_WRAPPER variables.

Note:
* This change takes care of the makefile wrapper installed in $(O) to
  avoid unneeded make recursion.

Now, the condition used to set these variables is the value of O itself.

This change is a preparatory work since the O definition will need to

339e1c9500 core: allow a br2-external tree to override a defconfig
Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.

However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:

  - the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
    build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
    "better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");

  - similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.

But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.

Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.

Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

20cd497387 core: add support for multiple br2-external trees
Currently, we only support at most one br2-external tree. Being able
to use more than one br2-external tree can be very useful.

A use-case would be for having a br2-external to contain the basic
packages, basic board defconfigs and board files, provided by one team
responsible for the "board-bringup", while other teams consume that
br2-external as a base, and complements it each with their own set of
packages, defconfigs and extra board files.

Another use-case would be for third-parties to provide their own
Buildroot packaging in a br2-external tree, along-side the archives for
their stuff.

Finally, another use-case is to be able to add FLOSS packages in a
br2-external tree, and proprietary packages in another. This allows
to not touch the Buildroot tree at all, and still be able to get in
compliance by providing only that br2-external tree(s) that contains
FLOSS packages, leaving aside the br2-external tree(s) with the
proprietary bits.

What we do is to treat BR2_EXTERNAL as a colon-separated (space-
separated also work, and we use that internally) list of paths, on which
we iterate to construct:

  - the list of all br2-external names, BR2_EXTERNAL_NAMES,

  - the per-br2-external tree BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME) variables, which
    point each to the actual location of the corresponding tree,

  - the list of paths to all the external.mk files, BR2_EXTERNAL_MKS,

  - the space-separated list of absolute paths to the external trees,
    BR2_EXTERNAL_DIRS.

Once we have all those variables, we replace references to BR2_EXTERNAL
with either one of those.

This cascades into how we display the list of defconfigs, so that it is
easy to see what br2-external tree provides what defconfigs. As
suggested by Arnout, tweak the comment from "User-provided configs" to
"External configs", on the assumption that some br2-external trees could
be provided by vendors, so not necessarily user-provided. Ditto the menu
in Kconfig, changed from "User-provided options" to "External options".

Now, when more than one br2-external tree is used, each gets its own
sub-menu in the "User-provided options" menu. The sub-menu is labelled
with that br2-external tree's name and the sub-menu's first item is a
comment with the path to that br2-external tree.

If there's only one br2-external tree, then there is no sub-menu; there
is a single comment that contains the name and path to the br2-external
tree.

fc34cf772c core: introduce per br2-external NAME
This unique NAME is used to construct a per br2-external tree variable,
BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH, which contains the path to the br2-external
tree.

This variable is available both from Kconfig (set in the Kconfig
snippet) and from the .mk files.

Also, display the NAME and its path as a comment in the menuconfig.

This will ultimately allow us to support multiple br2-external trees at
once, with that NAME (and thus BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)) uniquely defining
which br2-external tree is being used.

The obvious outcome is that BR2_EXTERNAL should now no longer be used to
refer to the files in the br2-external tree; that location is now known
from the BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH variable instead. This means we no
longer need to expose, and must stop from from exposing BR2_EXTERNAL as
a Kconfig variable.

Finally, this also fixes a latent bug in the pkg-generic infra, where we
would so far always refer to BR2_EXTERNAL (even if not set) to filter
the names of packages (to decide whether they are a bootloader, a
toolchain or a simple package).

Note: since the variables in the Makefile and in Kconfig are named the
same, the one we computed early on in the Makefile will be overridden by
the one in .config when we have it. Thus, even though they are set to
the same raw value, the one from .config is quoted and, being included
later in the Makefile, will take precedence, so we just re-include the
generated Makefile fragment a third time before includeing the
br2-external's Makefiles. That's unfortunate, but there is no easy way
around that as we do want the two variables to be named the same in
Makefile and Kconfig (and we can't ask the user to un-quote that variable
himself either), hence this little dirty triple-inclusion trick.

6bd19ccf0d core: offload handling of BR2_EXTERNAL into the script
Currently, we treat the case where we have no br2-external tree
(BR2_EXTERNAL is empty) differently from the case where we do have one
(BR2_EXTERNAL is not empty).

There is now no reason to treat those two cases differently:

  - the kconfig snippet is always generated appropriately (i.e. it would
    include the br2-external tree if set, or include nothing otherwise);

  - we no longer have a dummy br-external tree either.

Also, the Makefile code to handle BR2_EXTERNAL is currently quite
readable if at least a little bit tricky.

However, when we're going to add support for using multiple br2-external
trees simultaneously, this code would need to get much, much more complex.

To keep the Makefile (rather) simple, offload all of the handling of
BR2_EXTERNAL to the recently added br2-external helper script.

However, because of Makefiles idiosyncracies, we can't use a rule to
generate that Makefile fragment.

Instead, we use $(shell ...) to call the helper script, and include the
fragment twice: once before the $(shell ...) so we can grab a previously
defined BR2_EXTERNAL value, a second time to use the one passed on the
command line, if any.

Furthermore, we can't error out (e.g. on non-existent br2-external tree)
directly from the fragment or we'd get that error on subsequent calls,
with no chance to override it even from command line.

Instead, we use a variable in which we store the error, set it to empty
before the second inclusion, so that only the one newly generated, if
any, is taken into account.

Since we know the script will always be called from Makefile context
first, we know validation will occur in Makefile context first. So we
can assume that, if there is an error, it will be detected in Makefile
context. Consequently, if the script is called to generate the kconfig
fragment, validation has already occured, and there should be no error.
So we change the error function to generate Makefile code, so that
errors are caught as explained above.

Lastly, when the value of BR2_EXTERNAL changes, we want to 'forget'
about the previous value of the BR2_EXTERNAL_MK variable, especially in
the case where BR2_EXTERNAL is now set to empty, so that we do not try
to include it later. That's why we first generate empty version of
BR2_EXTERNAL_MK, and then assign it the new value, if any.

64e12a370c core: get rid of our dummy br2-external tree
Now that we generate a kconfig snippet, we can conditionally include the
BR2_EXTERNAL's Config.in only when BR2_EXTERNAL is supplied by the user,
which means our empty/dummy Config.in is no needed.

As for external.mk, we can also include it only when BR2_EXTERNAL is
supplied by the user, which means our empty/dummy external.mk is no
longer needed.

Ditch both of those files, and:

  - only generate actual content in the Kconfig snippet when we actually
    do have a BR2_EXTERNAL provided by the user (i.e. BR2_EXTERNAL is not
    empty);

  - add a variable that contains the path to the external.mk provided by
    the user, or empty if none, and include the path set in that variable
    (make can 'include' nothing without any problem! ;-) )

0f4435e950 core: do not hard-code inclusion of br2-external in Kconfig
Move the inclusion of br2-external's Config.in to the generated kconfig
snippet.

This will ultimately allow us to use more than one br2-external tree.

Offload the "User-provided options" menu to the generated Kconfig
snippet. We can also move the definition of the Kconfig-version of
BR2_EXTERNAL into this snippet.

We introduce an extra check that was not present in the previous code,
to check that we do have permission on that directory. Prevciously, it
was handled as a side effect of not being able to cd into there, but it
is cleaner to check it expressly.

49315f2fac Remove BR2_DEPRECATED
The BR2_DEPRECATED logic is a lot less useful than the legacy handling,
because the symbols just disappears without warning to the user. For
example, we had a few defconfigs that were using deprecated symbols
(which were not actually used because BR2_DEPRECATED wasn't set) so
these didn't build the expected code anymore.

Also, the idea behind BR2_DEPRECATED is that you can easily revive it
again if there is interest. However, it is relatively easy to revert
the removal of a package as well.

The deprecation is also more effort because it has to be removed twice:
once when deprecating, and once when really removing.

It doesn't make sense to add a legacy entry for BR2_DEPRECATED. Users
who actually used it will get legacy warnings instead.

81bf01cbff core/legal-info: don't generate big file with all license texts
By aggregating all the license files into a single big text-only file
means we have no way to use license files that are binary blobs (e.g.
pdf, rtf...).

Just do not generate that big file; if the user still wants it, it is
very easy to create it afterwards.

10c4d27aef linux: use INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 to strip modules
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.

e76b4fd103 core: distclean is a noconfig target
When the .config contains invalid configuration *(e.g. two providers for
a same virtual package), it is not possible to run "make distclean"
because the .config file is sourced and packages interpreted in this
case.

Add distclean to the noconfig list, so that we can run it in all cases.

However, this meand that DL_DIR is no longer set, and thus the default
download location never removed. We fix that by always removing the
download location, so that if it is the one configured we still remove
it (no change) and if it is not the one configured, we remove an
non-existing location and leave the user's location intact (no change
either).
