f4ea4b9824 Config.in: Add a menu around BR2_EXTERNAL configuration options
To make it clear to the user that these options are external to Buildroot
and no support is provided by the Buildroot community.

With this, there's no need to recommend people to their options inside
a menu, so remove that from the documentation.

Kconfig nicely allows us to hide the menu completely if BR2_EXTERNAL isn't
used, so make use of that to not confuse people. It would be nice if we
could add some help text to explain the BR2_EXTERNAL stuff as well, but
that isn't supported on menus :/

8eb8aaf904 core: allow external Config.in/makefile code to be integrated
This commit allows the BR2_EXTERNAL directory to contain Config.in and
Makefile code, which gets integrated into the Buildroot build logic:

 - Buildroot automatically includes the $BR2_EXTERNAL/Config.in in the
   top-level configuration menu.

 - Buildroot automatically includes the BR2_EXTERNAL/external.mk in
   the build logic, so it can for example be used to include other .mk
   files that define package recipes.

This is typically intended to be used to create target packages in the
BR2_EXTERNAL directory, but can also be used for bootloaders, host
packages, or other custom make logic.

We also add a dummy Config.in file in support/dummy-external/ to
ensure that the source "$BR2_EXTERNAL/Config.in" line will point to an
existing file even when BR2_EXTERNAL is not used by the user.

a4239f7fd1 core: introduce the BR2_EXTERNAL variable
This commit introduces the BR2_EXTERNAL environment variable, which
will allow to keep Buildroot customization (board-specific
configuration files or root filesystem overlays, package Config.in and
makefiles, as well as defconfigs) outside of the Buildroot tree.

This commit only introduces the variable itself, and ensures that it
is available within Config.in options. This allows us to use
$BR2_EXTERNAL in a 'source' statement in Config.in.

Following patches extend the usage of BR2_EXTERNAL to other areas
(packages and defconfigs).

In details, this commit:

 * Introduces the BR2_EXTERNAL Kconfig option. This option has no
   prompt, and is therefore not visible to the user and also not
   stored in the .config file. It is automatically set to the value of
   the BR2_EXTERNAL environment variable. The only purpose of this
   BR2_EXTERNAL Kconfig option is to allow $BR2_EXTERNAL to be
   properly expanded when used inside Kconfig source statements.

 * Calculates the BR2_EXTERNAL value to use. If passed on the command
   line, then this value is taken in priority, and saved to a
   .br-external hidden file in the output directory. If not passed on
   the command line, then we read the .br-external file from the
   output directory. This allows the user to not pass the BR2_EXTERNAL
   value at each make invocation. If no BR2_EXTERNAL value is passed,
   we define it to support/dummy-external, so that the kconfig code
   finds an existing $(BR2_EXTERNAL)/package/Config.in file to
   include.

 * Passes the BR2_EXTERNAL into the *config environment, so that its
   value is found when parsing/evaluating Config.in files and .config
   values.

0e4bc50210 core: add BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER option
Some bootloaders (such as Grub) need to be built for x86 (i.e IA32)
even if the target architecture is x86-64. However, when the target
architecture is x86-64, the cross-compiler generated by Buildroot is
not able to generate 32 bits code.

To solve this, we will rely on the host compiler being a x86 + x86-64
compiler. Therefore, this commit introduces the
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER option, which tells the dependency
checking logic to verify that the host compiler is indeed capable of
building x86 32 bits code.

c5866be0ad toolchain: refactor Stack Smashing Protection support
This commit refactors how Stack Smashing Protection support is handled
in Buildroot:

 *) It turns the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP option into an option
    that only enables the SSP support in uClibc, when using the internal
    toolchain backend.

 *) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
    when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
    glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
    option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
    uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
    must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP
    support.

 *) It adds a new options BR2_ENABLE_SSP in the "Build options" menu,
    to enable the usage of SSP support, by adding
    -fstack-protector-all to the CFLAGS.

5538e47662 rework patch model
At the Buildroot Developers Meeting (4-5 February 2013, in Brussels) a change
to the patch logic was discussed. See

http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013

for details. In summary:

* For patches stored in the package directory, if
  package/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply package/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch,
  otherwise, apply package/<pkg>/*.patch
* For patches stored in the global patches directory, if
  $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply
  $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply
  $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/*.patch

This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks
the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.

1ed4996346 Make savedefconfig save to a configured file.
Store BR2_DEFCONFIG in .config, and use it to update the original input
defconfig file after updating the configuration.  When a config is
created by using the BR2_DEFCONFIG=... option, this is saved in the
.config file; later runs of savedefconfig will update that same location.
It is also possible to configure this place in the interactive
configuration.

The BR2_DEFCONFIG value itself is not saved into the generated
defconfig, since Kconfig considers it at its default. This is
intentional, to avoid hard-coding an absolute path in the defconfig.
It will anyway be set again when the defconfig is used with the
'make BR2_DEFCONFIG=... defconfig' command.

As a side-effect of this change, the *config options have been moved out
of the BR2_HAVE_DOT_CONFIG condition.  This doesn't make any functional
difference, because the .config is still not read for the *config targets.
However, the defconfig and savedefconfig targets do need to include
.config now, which makes them slightly slower.

70d6037e8a Infrastructure to warn the user about missing 32 bits libraries
Many users trying to use external toolchains on x86-64 machines get a
very confusing message:

  "Can't execute cross-compiler"

They get this message because they forgot to install the 32 bits
compatibility libraries that are needed to run binaries compiled for
x86 on x86-64 machines.

Since this is the case for both external toolchains and certain
binary-only tools like SAM-BA, we add a new Kconfig option
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_LIBS, that packages must select if they need
the 32 bits compatibility libraries. When this option is enabled,
dependencies.sh checks that the 32 bits dynamic library loader is
present on the system, and if not, it stops and shows an error.

The path and name of the 32 bits dynamic loader is hardcoded because
it is very unlikely to change, as it would break the ABI for all
binaries.

Also, it is worth noting that the check will be done even if we're
running on a 32 bits machine. This is harmless, as 32 bits machines
necessarily have the 32 bits dynamic loader installed, so the error
will never show up in this case.

8fe6efa874 Deprecate the support for the toolchain on target
As discussed during the ELCE 2012 Buildroot Developers Meeting, we no
longer want to support the possibility of building a toolchain for the
target. None of the core developers have any use for this, it has been
known to be broken or cause problems for a long time without anyone
providing fixes for it.

In addition to this, Buildroot is inherently a cross-compilation tool,
so the usage of a native toolchain on the target is not really
useful. Many newcomers are tempted to use this possibility even though
it is clearly not the intended usage of Buildroot.

This directory groups the following elements:

 * the default device tables
 * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for

 * 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

As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which

433290761f ccache: allow dynamic selection of cache directory
The existing ccache infrastructure sets the cache directory hardcoded in the
ccache binary. As this directory was set to ~/.buildroot-ccache, the cache
is not necessarily local (e.g. in corporate environments the home directories
may be mounted over NFS.)
Previous versions of buildroot did allow to set the cache directory, but this
was also hardcoded (so you had to rebuild ccache to change it), plus that
support was removed.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/044511.html for
a discussion on this.

This patch modifies ccache to respect a new shell variable (exported from
the Makefile, based on a configuration option) instead of CCACHE_DIR.
The name CCACHE_DIR itself is already used by autotargets for the ccache
package.

f044e03776 ccache: set COMPILERCHECK to 'none'
This allows ccache to re-use its cache contents even if the compiler
binary mtime has changed. It is the simplest approach to solve this
problem, and it works for the internal, external and crosstool-ng

Of course, it leaves the user responsible for invalidating the cache
when necessary, but there doesn't seem to be a real good solution that
allows both to: 1/ keep the cache contents accross builds and re-use
it and 2/ invalidate the cache automatically when the compiler chances
in an incompatible way.

An example override file:

 ZLIB_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /tmp/zlib

At the same time fix the link to the sf mirror list.

febe322d27 debugging: do not require no stripping
The stripping options operate on the final image and not the intermediate
builds, so requiring stripping to be disabled just to enable debugging
options doesn't make much sense.  Especially when working with gdbserver:
only the host needs the debugging information to be available.  The board
can run & debug perfectly fine without it.

a2b4f7fbbd toolchain: introduce HOST_DIR option
Allow the user to define HOST_DIR in the config menu.

This way when building an internal toolchain a separate (maybe shared)
output directory may be defined and the toolchain can be used by
multiple users and/or projects.

1a5f2d6d7a Stop referencing the crazy target/device stuff
We don't need Config.in and Makefile in target/device: defconfig files
are sufficient to describe the specificities of a board (architecture,
compilation flags, bootloader and kernel details, etc.).

However, a placeholder such as target/device will be kept in order to
host things such as kernel configuration files or various
board-specific patches.

* ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target).

 * ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will
   automatically build ccache for the host before building anything,
   and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and
   target compilations.

 * bump ccache to 3.1.3

5f71fc1f19 Remove support for shared configuration cache
The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.

This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.
