Like we do for packages with the PKG variable, set ROOTFS to contain the
upper-case name of the rootfs currently being generated.
This will be useful in later patches, when we need more per-rootfs
variables, like a per-rootfs TARGET_DIR for example.
In Makefiles, per-rule variables trickle down the dependency chain, to
all dependencies of that rule, so we have to stop ROOTFS as soon as
we're not in a rootfs. This means we have to stop it at target-finalize
(which is a dependency of all filesystems), and for each package
individually, since some packages (host or target) can be direct
dependencies of filesystems as well.

This new BASE_TARGET_DIR variable is set in stone to point to the real
location where packages will be installed. Its name is modelled after
its definition: it is located in $(BASE_DIR), and it is named 'target/',
hence BASE_TARGET_DIR.
The already-existing TARGET_DIR variable now simply points to the same
location, except that it is recursively expanded, so that we can later
change it depending on the context.
All locations that really need to reference the existing target/
directory, are changed to use BASE_TARGET_DIR; surprinsigly enough, they
all seem to be located in the main Makefile. :-) The rest is left with
using good-old TARGET_DIR.

If BR2_HOST_DIR is not the default, it can be difficult to find the
host directory (i.e., HOST_DIR always has to be passed explicitly in
addition to the output directory). For example, the Eclipse plugin
assumes that HOST_DIR=BASE_DIR/host.
Create a symlink from $(BASE_DIR)/host to $(HOST_DIR) if it is not the
default. Also remove it in the clean target.
When BR2_HOST_DIR is the default, HOST_DIR_SYMLINK will be empty so
there will be no additional dependency to dirs and nothing to remove
in clean.

HOST_DIR is defined twice: once to its default value before .config is
included, and once more to BR2_HOST_DIR after .config is included.
However, the rule that defines the mkdir for HOST_DIR comes between
these two, so it will always use the default definition. Therefore,
if a non-default BR2_HOST_DIR is used, there will be no rule to create
that directory, while the dirs target depends on it.
This happens to work at the moment, because in the dirs target,
$(STAGING_DIR) comes before $(HOST_DIR), so $(HOST_DIR) will be created
implicitly. However, this will fail in top-level parallel builds where
both will be created in parallel.

As part of the per-package SDK work, we want to avoid having logic
that installs files to the global HOST_DIR, and instead do it inside
packages. One thing that gets installed to the global HOST_DIR is the
minimal "skeleton" that we create in host:
- the "usr" symbolic link for backward compatibility
- the "lib" directory, and its lib64 or lib32 symbolic links
This commit moves this logic to a new host-skeleton package, and makes
all packages (except itself) depend on it.
While at it, use $(Q) instead of @ in the HOST_SKELETON_INSTALL_CMDS.

Some packages really want to use an UTF-8 locale, or they break.
However, there is no guarantee that any given locale is available on a
system. For example,, while most mainstream distros (Debian and
derivatives, Fedora...) do have the generic, language-agnostic C.UTF-8
locale, Gentoo does not provide it.
So, find the first UTF-8 locale available on the system, and take any
that is available. We however do favour using the user-set current
locale, then using the language-agnostic C.UTF-8, and eventually any
random UTF-8 locale.
Note: we only need to enforce LC_ALL, because setting it implies

Currently, enabling more than one filesystem image will make
'show-targets' list a few host packages more than once.
This is because all filesystem images add the same set of
host-packages to their dependencies, which are then added as-is
to the package list.
Thus, host-fakeroot, host-makedevs and, if needed, host-mkpasswd will
appear as many times as there are filesystem images enabled.
Fix that by sorting the package list, thus eliminating duplicates from
that list. Also sort the rootfs list for good measure. Sort the two
separately, so that rootfses are last.

Currently, we do nothing about packages that touch the same file: given
a specific configuration, the result is reproducible (even though it
might not be what the user expected) because the build order is
guaranteed.
However, when we later introduce top-level parallel build, we will no
longer be able to guarantee a build order, by the mere way of it being
parallel. Reconciliating all those modified files will be impossible to
do automatically. The only way will be to refuse such situations.
As a preliminary step, introduce a helper script that detects files that
are being moified by two or more packages, and reports them and the
impacted packages, at the end of the build.
The list being reported at the end of the build will make it prominently
visible in autobuilder results, so we can assess the problem, if any.
Later on, calling that helper script can be done right after the package
installation step, to bail out early.
Thanks Arnout for the pythonist way to write default dictionaries! ;-)
Note: doing it in python rather than a shell script is impressively
faster: where the shell script takes ~1.2s on a minimalist build, the
python script only takes ~0.015s, that is about 80 times faster.

For predictability, use ordered 'include $(sort $(wildcard ...))'

We use a separate make target to build a relocatable SDK. We first
sanitize the RPATH in host tree. Next we also sanitize the
staging tree. Therefore "sdk" must depend on world.
Sanitizing staging is not really needed, in the sense that any rpath
in there is simply not going to be used. We want to sanitize staging
for the following reasons:
- To avoid leaking references to the original output directory. This
way, we can validate that the SDK is relocatable by running a simple
"grep -r ${BASE_DIR} ${HOST_DIR}". Obviously RPATH sanitization is
not sufficient (e.g. also the references to source files have to be
stripped), but it's a step in the right direction. This reason is
obviously only relevant for the SDK.
- To make sure that when an executable is copied to target that it
actually executes correctly. Since within Buildroot we never copy
stuff from staging to target, this is clearly only relevant for
the SDK.
Finally we install the script "relocate-sdk.sh" into the top directory
of the SDK (HOST_DIR) and the SDK location path is stored in the file
"HOST_DIR/share/buildroot/sdk-location"-

We currently use $(HOST_DIR)/usr as the prefix for host packages. That
has a few disadvantages:
- There are some things installed in $(HOST_DIR)/etc and
$(HOST_DIR)/sbin, which is inconsistent.
- To pack a buildroot-built toolchain into a tarball for use as an
external toolchain, you have to pack output/host/usr instead of the
more obvious output/host.
- Because of the above, the internal toolchain wrapper breaks which
forces us to work around it (call the actual toolchain executable
directly). This is OK for us, but when used in another build system,
that's a problem.
- Paths are four characters longer.
To allow us to gradually eliminate $(HOST_DIR)/usr while building
packages, replace it with a symlink to .
The symlinks from $(HOST_DIR)/usr/$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) and
$(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib that were added previously are removed again.
Note that the symlink creation will break when $(HOST_DIR)/usr
already exists as a directory, i.e. when rebuilding in an existing

following commits (which remove the usr part from various variables)
_will_ break it.
At the same time as creating this symlink, we have to update the
external toolchain wrapper and the external toolchain symlinks to go
one directory less up. Indeed, $(HOST_DIR) is one level less up than
it was before.

- If they haven't read the documentation, dropping them in menuconfig

- It's a likely that the user didn't intend to be in an unconfigured

As reported by Alessandro Power on StackOverflow [1], the behaviour
of "make toolchain" in an unconfigured tree is misleading.
When .config doesn't exist, we don't read in the package .mk files, so
"make <package>" doesn't work:
$ make busybox
make: *** No rule to make target 'busybox'. Stop.
However, for "linux" and "toolchain", the corresponding file (or
actually directory) already exists. So instead, we get:
$ make linux
make: Nothing to be done for 'linux'.
This is confusing, because it looks as if the build succeeded.
The obvious solution is to make linux and toolchain PHONY targets when
.config doesn't exist. However, that actually does the reverse, because
then a rule _does_ exist for them and since they don't have
dependencies, make will consider them to be ready.
Therefore, we also have to provide an explicit rule for them, and
explicitly error out. Thise behaviour is still different from other
packages, but at least it is much less confusing.

Currently, a lot of targets are declared PHONY together in the middle
of the Makefile. This has two important shortcomings:
- it is more difficult to see if a target is missing from PHONY;
- it is currently inside the ifeq ($(BR2_HAVE_DOT_CONFIG),y) condition,
but some of these targets are also defined when there is no .config;
in that case, these targets are not declared as PHONY.
Both issues can easily be solved by putting the PHONY declaration next
to the definition of the target.
The noconfig_targets are also all declared PHONY together; however,
for these we anyway have to keep the noconfig_targets variable
up-to-date, and that PHONY declaration is outside all conditions, so
there is no benefit of splitting them.

When debugging hidden dependencies, the build order is very important.
Most notably, it is interesting to identify potential culprits.
Add a new top-level rule, show-biuld-order, that dumps all the packages
in the order they would get built.
Note that there are a few differences with show-targets:
- more packages are reported, becasue show-targets does not report
host packages that have no prompt;
- the output is line-based, because we're using $(info $(1)); getting
a single output line like show-targets would require we use an
actual command, like printf '%s ' $(1); but that takes a lot of
time, while $(info $(1)) is almost instantaneous (the time to parse
the Makefiles);
- rootfs targets are not reported.

Currently, the output of printvars copntains the name of the variable,
its expanded value and its un-expanded value.
However, most of the time, we need the actual, expanded value, so it can
be re-used from a (non-Buildroot) infrastructure script, like a
post-build script, or a build-farm driver (e.g. a Jenkins job...)
Add two options that a user may set to change the output of printvars:
- QUOTED_VARS, if set, will quote the value
- RAW_VARS, if set, will print the unexpanded value
The new output by default only prints the expanded value now.
So that it can be used as such:
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION
BUSYBOX_VERSION=1.26.2
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES QUOTED_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES='ncurses util-linux'
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES RAW_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES=$(sort $(BUSYBOX_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES))
And it is even possible to directly evaluate it in a shell script:
eval $(make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION QUOTED_VARS=YES)
Backward compatibility of the output is not maintained. It is believed
that scripts that depended on the previous output were very fragile to
begin with, because they had to filter the non-formatted output
(splitting on spaces or braces was not really possible, because values
could contain either).
Document printvars and its options in the manual; list it in the output
of 'make help'.

The buildroot repository is now mirrored on
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot so we can use Gitlab-CI to
test Buildroot. Gitlab-CI is controlled by a .gitlab-ci.yml file
that exists in the repository.
For now, the only test is building all defconfigs (inspired on
https://travis-ci.org/buildroot/buildroot-defconfig-testing/). Since
all the defconfigs have to be specified in the .gitlab-ci.yml file,
we generate the file based on .gitlab-ci.yml.in. The generated
.gitlab-ci.yml file has to be committed into the repository, though,
otherwise Gitlab-CI doesn't see it. So there is also a test to verify
that .gitlab-ci.yml is up-to-date.
Building all the defconfigs takes a long time. Gitlab-CI will do that
every time it pulls from git.buildroot.org, which is once per hour.
That is way too often. Therefore, the defconfigs are not built on pull,
but only on explicit trigger through the API or when a tag is added.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! ;-) )

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.

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.

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.

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).

The code for both cases is exactly the same, and only differs in the

We use an intermediate macro to generate the corresponding rules,
because directly generating the rules is ugly and needs lots of escaping
and double-dollar-ing for the $(eval ...) and $(foreach ...) calls to
play nicely together.
Furthermore, that will be tremendously useful when we support multiple

pkg-utils.mk contains various definitions that are used in the package
infrastructures and packages themselves.
However, those definitions can be useful in other parts of Buildroot,
and are already used in a few places that are not related to the package
infrastructure. Also, $(sep) will be needed early in the Makefile when
we eventually support multiple br2-external trees.
Since this file only contains definitions, we can include it anytime.
So, consider that file to no longer be specific to the package infras:
- move it to support and rename it,
- move a few similar definitions from the main Makefile to that file.

Currently, all our internal packages provide actions that are prefixed
with their own names. This makes it obvious what package the action
refer to.
However, the help commands are really free-form. This means that
packages (and especially packages from a br2-external tree) may provide
completely arbitrary help text.
As such, all that text can get pretty easily mixed up, and it will be
very difficult to read.
Prefix each package-specific help text with the name of the package it
refers to. This generate a "make help" that looks like:
[...]
Package-specific:
<pkg> - Build and install <pkg> and all its dependencies
<pkg>-source - Only download the source files for <pkg>
<pkg>-extract - Extract <pkg> sources

When using a br2-external tree, it is possible (as stated in our manual)
to implement whatever arbitrary extra make rules (such as flashing a
board, or extracting the rootfs in an NFS export...). Some of those
extra rules might be exposed to the user as new entry points that the
user can call by itself.
However, there is no way for the br2-external to advertise those new
rules in the help text.
We add the possibility to do so, by adding a new make rule, called
help-custom, advertised in our own help info.
It is up to the br2-external tree to provide whatever help text is
deemed necessary. The format of the help is completely free-form.
Note that we need to provide an empty, dummy help-custom rule, since it
is always advertised (making it .PHONY does not work). Since this rule
is empty, make gently reports that there is "Nothing to be done for
`help-local'", which is pretty well fitting when help-local was not
provided (either because there's no br2-external tree, or when the
br2-external tree does not provide it.
