The "iso image" rootfs target is a special one, as it does not use the
ROOTFS_TARGET infrastructure. The absence of ROOTFS_*_DEPENDENCIES
variable makes "make source" to skip this target's dependencies
(namely host-cdrkit and it's children) obstructing an offline build.

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 inner-xxx-targets in the buildroot package infrastructures are
evaluated using $(eval) which causes variable references to be a bit
different than in regular make code. As we want most references to be
expanded only at the time of the $(eval) we should not use standard
references $(VAR) but rather use double dollar signs $$(VAR). This includes
function references like $(call), $(subst), etc. The only exception is the
reference to pkgdir/pkgname and numbered variables, which are parameters to
the inner block: $(1), $(2), etc.
This patch introduces consistent usage of double-dollar signs throughout the
different inner-xxx-targets blocks.
In some cases, this would potentially cause circular references, in
particular when the value of HOST_FOO_VAR would be obtained from the
corresponding FOO_VAR if HOST_FOO_VAR is not defined. In these cases, a test
is added to check for a host package (the only case where such constructions
are relevant; these are not circular).
Benefits of these changes are:
- behavior of variables is now again as expected. For example, setting
$(2)_VERSION = virtual in pkg-virtual.mk will effectively work, while
originally it would cause very odd results.
- The output of 'make printvars' is now much more useful. This target shows
the value of all variables, and the expression that led to that value.
However, if the expression was coming from an inner-xxx-targets block, and
was using single dollar signs, it would show in printvars as
VAR = value (value)
while if double dollar signs are used, it would effectively look like
VAR = value (actual expression)
as is intended.
This improvement is for example effective for FOO_DL_VERSION, FOO_RAWNAME,
FOO_SITE_METHOD and FOO_MAKE.
The correctness of this patch has been verified using 'make printvars',
'make manual' and 'make legal-info' before and after applying this patch,
and comparing the output.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

cset 7a58a4e (e2fsprogs: bump to version 1.42.9) broke the generation
of ext4 filesystems.
This is because, in ext4, some metadata are dependent on the UUID.
If changing the UUID of an ext4 filesystem, tune2fs now exits with
exit-code 1, and prints a message to run fsck, to avoid trashing the
filesystem.
This condition is of utmost importance on a mounted filesysten (which
is not our case) to avoid corruption (yes, it is possible to change
the UUID of a mounted filesystem).
But the error is not valid for us, since we are working on an unmonted
filesystem image in the first place.
Since we change the UUID after we convert the filesystem (to ext4),
tune2fs just bails out.
We can not just ignore the exit code of tune2fs, since we still want
to catch any other failure.
It turns out that, changing the UUID before converting the filesystem
is just the way to go.
Fixes#6752.

When a package A depends on config option B and toolchain option C, then
the comment that is given when C is not fulfilled should also depend on B.

depends on BR2_LARGEFILE
depends on BR2_WCHAR
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
This comment should actually be:
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on BR2_B
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
or if possible (typically when B is a package config option declared in that
same Config.in file):
if BR2_B
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR

Otherwise, the comment would be visible even though the other dependencies

depends on BR2_BASE_DEP && !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
to

depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
so that (positive) base dependencies are separate from the (negative)

Initramfs compression does not make much sense for the architectures
that support compressed kernel images because in this case the data
would be compressed twice. This will eventually result in a bigger
kernel image and time overhead when uncompressing it.
The only reason to use compressed initramfs is to reduce memory
usage when the kernel prepares rootfs, and both the unpacked
filesystem and initramfs.cpio are present in the memory.
Buildroot attempts to force GZIP compression for initramfs,
however it doesn't always work because initramfs compression mode
depends on RAM disk compression supported by the kernel.
Thus, CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP depends on CONFIG_RD_GZIP.
If CONFIG_RD_GZIP is not set, setting GZIP initramfs compression
will have no effect.
Besides, the kernel also supports other compression methods,
like BZIP2, LZMA, XZ and LZO. Forcing the good old GZIP does not
really make much sense any more.
This removes initramfs compression settings from Buildroot,
so that the default value preset in the kernel config is used,
which is CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE.
If initramfs compression is still needed, it can be set
in the kernel config (using make linux-menuconfig)

genext2fs is built only if the user selected an ext2 root filesystem.
However, some use-cases can't live with the full target/ dir on the
root filesystem, and requires separate partitions (eg. for /usr).
In this case, the user would not select an ext2 root fs in the
Buildrooot menu, and would only generate a tarball of the rootfs.
This tarball would then be used from a post-image script to build
the actual required FSes.
But then, genext2fs is not built, since the ext2 root FS was not
selected.
As for the other filesystem generators, provide a host variant of
genext2fs (genext2fs is already host-package aware, so only needs

Turned out that setting a nil-UUID is no better than clearing it.
What currently happens is as follows:
- first, genext2fs does not generate a UUID
- then we tune2fs to upgrade the filesystem
- then we run fsck, which generates a random UUID
- then we re-run tune2fs to set a nil-UUID
So, on the target, if the file system is improperly unmounted (eg.
with a power failure), on next boot, fsck may be run, and a new
random UUID will be generated.
*However*, fsck improperly updates the filesystem when it adds the
UUID, and there are a few group descriptor checksum errors.
Those errors will go undetected until the next fsck, which will then
block for user input (bad on embedded systems, bad).
Fix that by systematically generating a random UUID _before_ we call
to fsck.
A random UUID is not so bad, after all, since there are already so
many sources of unpredictability in the filesystem: files date and
ordering, files content (date, paths...) which renders a fixed UUID
unneeded.
And it is still possible to set the UUID in a post-image script if
needed, anyway.

Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root,
or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user.
Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS
variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to

Some bootloaders have a buggy ext2 support, and require ext2 rev1
instead of the traditional ext2 rev0 that genext2fs produces.
tune2fs accepts only one '-O list' at a time, so we need to construct

Use the host-e2fsprogs to tune2fs the generated rootfs.ext2 image,
and upgrade it to either one of ext2, ext3 or ext4.
Since calling tune2fs may require running e2fsck (tune2fs will warn
to do so when certain FS options are changed), we systematically call
e2fsck. This makes the code path simpler, and as a side-effect checks
that genext2fs did not generate garbage.
In turn, e2fsck will unconditionally add a UUID to the filesystem,
which is bad for reproducibility, so we call tune2fs again to remove
the UUID. This does not require checking the filesystem.
To ensure compatibility of Buildroot's .config, leave ext2 as the
default. Boards' .config can override this at will.

Since ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLES is a concatenation of two strings separated by

Therefore, when testing for empty, the condition never evaluate to false.

This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra.
For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk.
It also makes it possible to update the variables later, e.g. in the package
override file.
It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's
patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file.
The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted
anymore in the CMD variables or the hooks.
The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET)
variable is already eval'd. Note that it is only redundant if the evaluation of
the uses of the variable is also delayed.

A /dev/console node must be present in rootfs when the Linux kernel
boots otherwise the kernel will print the following warning:
"Warning: unable to open an initial console"
This is because when we use an initramfs the /dev directory is not
populated at this point. This can cause problems when a program
(e.g ldso with early debugging enabled) opens a standard file
descriptor for read/write before these descriptors are actually
created by the init process later on.

A very common mistake done by our users is that they use
output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is
loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read
documentation, so it is not sufficient.
This patch adds a text file named
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why
output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The
process is:
* At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been
copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM
* In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before
launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this
file is not present in the generated root filesystem images.
Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two
reasons:
* It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in
capital letters inside system/skeleton/
* The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.

root=/dev/ram0 command line parameter, and a /init to mount
devtmps that isn't there in out ext2 rootfs. So just use a cpio

This directory groups the following elements:
* the default root filesystem skeleton
* the default device tables
* the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for
getty, system hostname, etc.)
* the make rules to apply the system configuration options
Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it
would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other
related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense.
As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which
has become useless in the process.

There used to be a mechanism using which packages could leave a
.fakeroot.<something> file which could contain commands to be executed
within the fakeroot environment. Since this mechanism is no longer
used by any package, remove it from the common infrastructure.
The latest user was nfs-utils, which used this mechanism to do the
"make install" as root, since doing otherwise was not supported. But
since 16e7b8255c, nfs-utils has been
upgraded and converted to the package infrastructure, and this hack is
no longer necessary. Another past user was the ltp-testsuite package,
for the same reason, and since
a72a670489, the fakeroot hack is no
longer needed.

As the kernel doesn't automatically mount devtmpfs when an initramfs
is used, commit 424888e474 has
introduced a small wrapper script that mounts devtmpfs before starting
the real init.
Unfortunately, the problem is that in this case, the init process runs
without any 0, 1 and 2 file descriptors, so none of the
messages/errors printed by the various initialization scripts can be
seen. This is due to the fact the init process relies on 0, 1 and 2
being opened by the kernel before init is started. However, as
/dev/console isn't present on the filesystem at the time the kernel
tries to open the console to create the 0, 1 and 2 file descriptors,
the kernel fails on this and prints the famous "Warning: unable to
open an initial console".
The proposed workaround is to actually open 0, 1 and 2 to /dev/console
in the wrapper script, right after mounting the devtmpfs filesystem,
and before starting the real init. The "Warning" from the kernel is
still shown, but at least the messages from the init scripts are
visible.
