When a package wants to build a kernel module, we should ensure that the
kernel does support modules.
This patch does it automatically for packages using the kernel-module
infrastructure.
Packages that do not use it will have to set it manually (to be done in
a followup patch).

Both of CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK and CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK are needed by
xtables-addons.
Although the current code does enable them in the linux' .config file,
the former is protected behind CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED, which may be
missing from a user-supplied (def)config file, and is missing from some
of the bundled defconfigs as well.
For example, the following defconfig fails to build:
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="i386"
BR2_PACKAGE_XTABLES_ADDONS=y
So, also force-enable CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED.

The Linux buildsystem tries to run the compiler even just for
'kernelrelease' (which we store in LINUX_VERSION_PROBED) and we
sometimes need to use it before the toolchain is available; thus

This commit add an infrastructure to build linux kernel

Currently, the only linux kernel tool packaged in Buildroot
is perf and it's packaged as a separate generic package.
This is a problem for licence information raised in this

Since these tools require to build a Linux kernel, we can
use some hooks in linux package like we did for linux

The ktap package requires some parts of the kernel tracing
infrastructure to be enabled, especially
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING. However, this option is a blind option in the
kernel, so enabling it in linux.mk has no effect: we need to enable a
non-blind option that selects CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING. We've chosen to
select CONFIG_ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS.
This fixes the build of ktap.

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?
[Thomas: add Config.in.legacy handling, as suggested by Arnout, even
if we believe that no-one could have ever used this option.]

Curently, all three linux extensions follow the same layout:
- test if the extension is enabled
- add itself to linux' patch-dependencies
- declare a macro, added as the pre-patch hook
Except for the macro, all can be commonalised.
Add a simple infrastructure for that:
- extensions declare themselves in the list of extensions
- extensions define their macro
- the infra adds them to the patch-dependencies and pre-patch
hooks as appropriate

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.

Several packages have some logic to apply custom patches that existed
before the BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR mechanism: at91bootstrap,
at91bootstrap3, barebox, uboot and linux. Currently, the logic of
those packages to apply custom patches is to match
<package-name>-*.patch, which is not consistent with what we've done
for patches stored in the package directory, and for patches stored in
BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR: in such cases, we simply apply *.patch.
Therefore, for consistency reasons, this commit changes these packages
to also apply *.patch.

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 building device tree blobs from custom *.dts files, buildroot
initializes KERNEL_DTS_NAME variable from all given file names.
This causes that user can't provide one *.dts file and some other
*.dtsi files as dependencies.
Problem is fixed by adding filter for initializing KERNEL_DTS_NAME
variable with *.dts files only. All user provided files are copied
into kernel source tree, but only file names suffixed with *.dts
are used for building appropriate *.dtb files.

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.]
