The CPE type of the Linux kernel is special, it should be "o", unlike
all other packages that use "a". We therefore need to override
<pkg>_CPE_ID_PREFIX, so that the CPE ID of the linux package matches
with the CPE dictionary.

On Ubuntu 18.04, make-4.1 emits spurious, incorrect "entering/leaving"
messages, which end up in the LINUX_VERSION_PROBED variable:
printf 'probed linux version: "%s"\n' "$(LINUX_VERSION_PROBED)"
probed linux version: "make[1]: Entering directory '/home/buildroot'
4.19.78-linux4sam-6.2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/buildroot/output/build/linux-linux4sam_6.2'"
First, the messages are displayed even though we do explicitly pass
--no-print-directory -s.
Second, the entering and leaving messages are not about the same
directory!
This *only* occurs in the following conditions:
- the user has the correct 0022 umask,
- top-level parallel is used (with or without PPD),
- initial -C is specified as well.
$ umask 0022
$ make -j16 -C $(pwd)
[...]
depmod: ERROR: Bad version passed make[1]:
[...]
(yes, 'make[1]:' is the string depmod is trying, and fails, to parse as
a version string).
If any of the three conditions above is removed, the problem no longer
occurs. Here's a table of the MAKEFLAGS:
| 0002 | 0022 |
----+-------+------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+
| no-j | --no-print-directory -- | |
noC | +------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+
| -j16 | -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 --no-print-directory -- | -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 |
----+-------+------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+

| -j16 | -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 --no-print-directory -- | w -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 |
----+-------+------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+
0002: umask == 0002
0022: umask == 0022
no-j: no -j flag
-j16: -j16 flag
noC: no -C flag
-C : -C /path/of/buildroot/
Only the bottom-right-most case fails...
This behaviour goes against what is documented:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#g_t_002dw-Option
5.7.4 The ‘--print-directory’ Option
[...]
you do not need to specify this option because ‘make’ does it for
you: ‘-w’ is turned on automatically when you use the ‘-C’ option,
and in sub-makes. make will not automatically turn on ‘-w’ if you
also use ‘-s’, which says to be silent, or if you use
‘--no-print-directory’ to explicitly disable it.
So this exactly describes our situation; yet 'w' is added to MAKEFLAGS.
Getting rid of the 'w' flag makes the build succeed again, so that's
what we do here (bleark, icky)...
Furthermore, the documented way to override MAKEFLAGS is to do so as a
make parameter:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Options_002fRecursion
5.7.3 Communicating Options to a Sub-make
[...]
If you do not want to pass the other flags down, you must change the
value of MAKEFLAGS, like this:
subsystem:
cd subdir && $(MAKE) MAKEFLAGS=
However, doing so does not fix the issue. So we resort to pass the
modified MAKEFLAGS via the environment (bleark, icky)...

In linux, newer architectures like ARM64 and RISC-V keep their device
tree sources organized by subdirectories. When these device trees are
installed by the kernel they will keep the directory names. But
buildroot strips the prefixes when installing them into /boot or the
images directory.
Sometimes the bootloader references the device tree by name (e.g.
u-boot has the environment variable 'fdtfile') which also includes
the prefix directory.
Make it possible to keep this prefix during installation, so we can
be compatible with other distributions and make it easier for the
user, because he doesn't have to change that environment variable.

The soon-to-be-released linux 5.7 has changed the way it detects the
ability of gcc to use plugins, when it dropped support for gcc 4.7 or
older [0].
To detect the ability to use gcc plugins, the kernel has to check
whether the host gcc is capable enough to build them.
When we call one of the configurator for the Linux kernel, we explicitly
pass a value of HOSTCC=$(HOSTCC_NOCCACHE), because there might be a
discrepancy between the ncurses headers and libraries as found by the
Linux kconfig build [1] [2].
But then, when we build the kernel, we pass another value to use [3]
HOSTCC="$(HOSTCC) $(HOST_CFLAGS) $(HOST_LDFLAGS)" which boils down to
roughly: gcc -I.../host/include -L.../host/lib -Wl,-rpath,.../host/lib
This is needed so that at build time, the kernel can build host tools
that link with our openssl et al.
So, the two HOSTCC we pass to the kernel may have different behaviours.
For example, on a machine where gmp is missing in the system, it is
available in $(O)/host/ when using an internal toolchain (and under a
few other conditions).
In that case, when configuring the kernel, it decides that the host
compiler can't build plugins, so the dependencies of CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS
are not met, and that option is not present in the linux' .config file
(neither as "=y" nor as "is not set"). But then, when we build the
kernel, the host compiler suddenly becomes capable of building the
plugins, and the internal syncconfig run by the kernel will notice that
the dependencies of CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS are now met, and that the user
shall decide on its value. And this blocks a build on an interactive
console (abbreviated):
* Restart config...
* GCC plugins
GCC plugins (GCC_PLUGINS) [Y/n/?] (NEW) _
But most problematic is the behaviour when run in a shell that is not
interactiove (e.g. a CI job or such) (abbreviated):
* Restart config...
* GCC plugins
GCC plugins (GCC_PLUGINS) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
Error in reading or end of file.
Generate some entropy during boot and runtime (GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Error in reading or end of file.
Randomize layout of sensitive kernel structures (GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Error in reading or end of file.
* Memory initialization
Initialize kernel stack variables at function entry
> 1. no automatic initialization (weakest) (INIT_STACK_NONE)
2. zero-init structs marked for userspace (weak) (GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_USER) (NEW)
3. zero-init structs passed by reference (strong) (GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF) (NEW)
4. zero-init anything passed by reference (very strong) (GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL) (NEW)
choice[1-4?]:
Error in reading or end of file.
Poison kernel stack before returning from syscalls (GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Error in reading or end of file.
Enable heap memory zeroing on allocation by default (INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON) [N/y/?] n
Enable heap memory zeroing on free by default (INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON) [N/y/?] n
The most obvious and simple solution would be to unconditionally disable
gcc plugins altogether, in the KCONFIG_FIXUP hook. But that can't work
either, because after applying the fixups, we call olddefconfig (or the
likes) with the incapable HOSTCC, so the disabled option would be removed
anyway, and we'd be back to square one.
So, in addition to the above, we also forcibly hack the same call just
before actually building the kernel.
Note that the two are needed: the one in the fixups is needed for those
that have a system that already allows building gcc plugins, and the
second is needed in the other case, where the system does not allow it
but would work with our additional headers and libs in $(O)/host/. The
two ensure there is a very similar experience in the two situations.
Forcibly disabling the use of gcc plugins is not a regression on our
side: it has never been possible to do so so far. We're now making sure
that can't work by accident.

Currently, the linux kernel will apply some fixups on its .config file,
based on whether some packages are enabled or not. That list of
conditional fixups is getting bigger and bigger with each new package
that needs such fixups, culminating with the pending firewalld one [0].
Furthermore, these fixups are not accessible to packages in br2-external
trees.
Add a new per-package variable, that packages may set to the commands to
run to fixup the kernel .config file, which is added at the end of the
linux' own fixups.
This opens the possibility to write things like;
define FOO_LINUX_CONFIG_FIXUPS
$(call KCONFIG_ENABLE_OPT,BLA)
endef
Of course, it also opens the way to run arbitrary commands in there, but
any alternative that would be declarative only, such as a list of
options to enable or disable (as an example):
FOO_LINUX_CONFIG_FIXUPS = +BAR -FOO +BUZ="value"
.. is not very nice either, and such lists fall flat when a value would
have a space.
For packages that we have in-tree, we can ensure they won't play foul
with their _LINUX_CONFIG_FIXUPS. For packages in br2-external trees,
there's nothing we can do; users already have the opportunity to hack
into the linux configure process by providing LINUX_PRE_CONFIGURE_HOOKS
or LINUX_POST_CONFIGURE_HOOKS anyway...
.. which brings the question of why we don't use that to implement the
per-package fixups. We don't, because _PRE or _POST_CONFIGURE_HOOKS are
run after we run 'make oldconfig' to sanitise the mangled .config.

The Linux kernel image is typically found in arch/ARCH/boot/, which is
why LINUX_IMAGE_PATH is defined as:
LINUX_IMAGE_PATH = $(LINUX_ARCH_PATH)/boot/$(LINUX_IMAGE_NAME)
However, on MIPS, some kernel image types are available from
arch/mips/boot/compressed, or even at the top-level directory. For
such cases, LINUX_IMAGE_NAME might be set (using
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME) to values such as:
compressed/vmlinux.bin.z
or
../../../uzImage.bin
Except that the line:
$(INSTALL) -m 0644 -D $(LINUX_IMAGE_PATH) $(1)/$(LINUX_IMAGE_NAME)
will lead to such images be installed in:
$(TARGET_DIR)/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.z
$(BINARIES_DIR)/compressed/vmlinux.bin.z
and:
$(TARGET_DIR)/boot/../../../uzImage.bin
$(BINARIES_DIR)/../../../uzImage.bin
which of course is completely bogus.
So let's install them under their name, not their full relative path
to arch/ARCH/boot/.

When a package installs a kernel module, it is currently not possible to
have it loaded with modprobe or when the kernel requests an alias for
it, as the module is not listed in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/modules.dep
and the associated files.
So, we need to run depmod after all packages are installed, to register
any such out-of-tree module.
This means we should be able to let go of calling depmod at the time the
kernel is installed, but if we pass an invalid command, the kernel
whines:
DEPMOD 5.4.27
./scripts/depmod.sh: 46: /dev/null: Permission denied
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1326: _modinst_post] Error 126
This is because the kernel does not directly call to depmod, but uses a
wrapper that is not happy if depmod is not depmod.
Since the call to depmod does not cost much, we just keep it.

When 'make' includes a new Makefile, it appends its path to the MAKEFILE_LIST
variable. From that variable, we construct a few set of derivative
variables:
pkgdir = $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))
pkgname = $(lastword $(subst /, ,$(pkgdir)))
Essentially, pkgdir is the full directory where the package is located
(either relative to Buildroot's top directory for in-tree packages, or
absolute for packages in br2-external trees), while pkgname is the last
component of that directory.
pkgdir is in turn used to seed FOO_PKGDIR.
This all happens when we eventually call the package-generic infra,
later down in the file.
When they are parsed, the Makefiles for each linux-extensions are
appended to MAKEFILE_LIST, after the linux.mk one. But since they are
located in the same directory as the main linux.mk, the last component
of MAKEFILE_LIST, which is no longer the main linux.mk, will still yield
the correct values for the linux package.
This is a tough assumption we made there and then.
When we added the support for br2-external linux extensions, we where
very cautious to explicitly scan them from a directory named 'linux', so
that this would yield the correct package name.
And that worked well so far, until someone needed to build an older
kernel, for which our conditional patch is needed, and which just
failed:
/bin/bash: [...]/buildroot-external-linux-test/linux//0001-timeconst.pl-Eliminate-Perl-warning.patch.conditional: No such file or directory
When we scan linux extensions from a br2-external tree, the last
component of MAKEFILE_LIST is no longer in the same directory as the
main linux.mk, and thus the assumption above falls to pieces...
Again, when we added support for linux extensions from br2-external,
although we cared about the package name (pkgname), we completely missed
out on the package directory, and the LINUX_PKGDIR variable.
We do not have a very clean way out of this mess, but we have a nice
dirty trick: Scan the linux extensions from a br2-external tree before we
scan the in-tree ones. That way, the last component of MAKEFILE_LIST is
back to one that is in the same directory as the main linux.mk, and
we're back on tracks.
This is still very fragile, though, but short of a complete overhaul on
how packages are parsed and evaluated, this is the best we can come in
short order.

ARC processors have configurable size of MMU page. This configuration
happens during ASIC design and couldn't be changed in final silicone
not to mention runtime changes.
Given PAGE_SIZE macro is used a lot throughout the Linux kernel sources
we just hardcode a required value during the kernel configuration.
We used to support different MMU page sizes for ARC in Buildroot for
quite some time now but so far we only tweaked uClibc on the matter.
That left us with the kernel configured with whatever was in used defconfig.
In most of real cases that's OK because typically we're building firmware
for a particular ASIC which is supposed to have a unique kernel defconfig.
But if we're dealing with FPGA-based boards or even simlators like
Synopsys DesignWare nSIM or QEMU it's possible to have dfferent MMU page
size configured in that target mostly for the sake of testing.
And so we're trying to solve 2 problems here:
1. Make sure both user-space (via libc settings) and the Linux kernel
are "on the same page", i.e. expect to use the same MMU page size.
2. Simplify process of testing different page sizes.
As now we first need to set page size in Buildroot and then in the
kernel via "make linux-configure" or via Kconfig fragment.

>From patch [1] included in kernel >= 5.0:
"The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings
(enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function
attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target.
In particular, it triggers for all the init/cleanup_module
aliases in the kernel (defined by the module_init/exit macros),
ending up being very noisy.
These aliases point to the __init/__exit functions of a module,
which are defined as __cold (among other attributes). However,
the aliases themselves do not have the __cold attribute.
Since the compiler behaves differently when compiling a __cold
function as well as when compiling paths leading to calls
to __cold functions, the warning is trying to point out
the possibly-forgotten attribute in the alias."
Werror is set by default while building ppc kernel [2], but
some warning can be introduced while building current kernel with
newer compiler (for example building kernel 4.19 with gcc 9.1).
For the same reason why we remove Werror in packages's compiler
flags. Building with Werror is not bulletproof when we start
using a newer compiler that introduce new warnings.
This is the case here.
Also this option is a bit strange since it's specific to ppc kernels:
"The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly
introduce warnings in the arch/powerpc code."
Other kernel developers on other arch may be interested by a
similar/more generic option.
So, It's clearly intended for kernel developers.
Instead of backporting this patch [1] to kernel 4.19, select
unconditionally the Kconfig option CONFIG_PPC_DISABLE_WERROR
that allow to disable Werror.

To support building in (a subset of) the intel-microcode files into the
kernel using the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option, we need to ensure that the
microcode files are installed before the Linux kernel is built.

We currently do the Linux build as follows:
make <imagename>
if modules enabled; make modules; fi
However, Clement Léger recently reported that due to us not using the
"all" target, the GDB scripts that the kernel can build when
CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS is enabled are not built, since upstream kernel
commit 67274c083438340ad16c1437caebc84e1253b224 (merged in v5.1) moved
that logic to a separate scripts_gdb target, which is a dependency of
the "all" target.
While we could add some more logic to explicit generate the
"scripts_gdb" target, this logic would fail on Linux < 5.1 for which
this make target doesn't exist.
So instead, let's simplify the build logic, and use:
make all <imagename>
The "all" target automatically depends on "modules" if CONFIG_MODULES
is set, so we no longer need to explicit generate the "modules" target
separately.
As a result of this change, we may generate additional kernel images
compared to what was done previously, but such images would anyway not
be installed, and the additional build time is minimal.
We did some research as to why the kernel build was done like this in
Buildroot, and it's been like that since linux/linux.mk was added back
in 2010 by commit 487e21cff6 ("New,
simpler, infrastructure for building the Linux kernel").

A patch was added to the Linux kernel in 5.1.0-rc3 which adds a
requirement that the host build environment include pkg-config. Add the
correct host-pkgconf dependency and environment variables to ensure
Linux picks up the correct libraries.
Move the existing LINUX_MAKE_ENV assignment earlier, to simplify the
append-assignment in the libelf conditional block.

With the arrival of linux v5.0, we need yet another condition to set
_SITE correctly. Instead of continuing this madness, solve the problem
generically: use v2.6 for 2.6.*, and use the number before the first dot
in the other cases.
