Sometimes, it interesting to have a global overview of whether the
package builds at all or not, rather than test on all toolchains.
Add an option that allows testing on a limited set of randomly choosen

This change adds inode tracking to the size-stats script so that hard
links don't cause files to be double counted. This has a significant
effect on the size computation for some packages. For example, git has
around a dozen hard links to a large file. Before this change, git would
weigh in at about 170 MB with the total filesystem size reported as
175 MB. The actual rootfs.ext2 size was around 16 MB. With the change,
the git package registers at 10.5 MB with a total filesystem size of
15.8 MB.

When the path to a br2-external tree is relative, make enters an endless

Recently, the autoconf macros for libtool started using '/usr/bin/file'
to determine the type of library that is generated by the toolchain.
Packages that use this recent version of the libtool autoconf macros
will fail in a rather dramatic way when /usr/bin/file is not present
on the host: the package will still build but no shared library is
generated, which in turn may cause build failures in other packages
that link with it.
For example, libpng's configure determines that it is not possible to
build a shared library on MIPS64 because the expected output from 'file'
is not present. Therefore, only a static libpng.a is built. Later,
bandwithd links with -lpng but it doesn't use the pkg-config's
Private-Libs (because it's not linking statically) and it doesn't have
access to the NEEDED reference from the shared library. Therefore, it
doesn't link with zlib and fails with
pngrutil.c:(.text+0x55c): undefined reference to `inflate'
We cant use host-file because it is itself an autotools package and is
itself using libtool, so this would be a chicken-n-egg problem. Besides,
the libtool script really wants to call /usr/bin/file, so it would not
even find our host-file anyway.
So, just require that '/usr/bin/file' is present on the host.

Many (100+) packages supported by buildroot contain old configure
scripts (or build them from old versions of autotools) that are unable
to determine how to link shared libraries on powerpc64 and
powerpc64le. This causes that test to erroneously fail on toolchains
that are not "bi-endian" (which is the case for toolchains built by
buildroot), which causes configure to build static libraries instead
of dynamic ones. Although these builds succeed, they tend to cause
linker failures in binaries later linked against them.
Because affected configure files can be discovered automatically, this
patch introduces a hook (enabled only when building for powerpc64 and
powerpc64le) that uses a script to scan and fix each package.

From the build configuration, Buildroot defines and set some compiler
and linker flags that should be passed to any packages build-system.
For package using the cmake-package infrastructure, this is achieved
via the toolchainfile.cmake.
This change simplifies the way the toolchainfile.cmake file handles
these flags: it now just sets them, without any attempt to extend them
with those Buildroot defined.
This change still allows overriding these flags from the configure
command line.
So, now, when a CMake-based package needs to extend them, they should
be fully set from the package *.mk file. This behavior is consistent
with what is done for others package infrastructures.
This change should not pull any regression WRT the bug #7280 [1].
However, now, when someone uses the toolchainfile.cmake file outside of
Buildroot, he/she must overload all compiler/linker flags (including the
ones Buildroot sets since they no longer get automatically added).

When a build type is set, CMake does append some flags that can override
those set by Buildroot due to the gcc option parser (in which the last
argument controling an option wins).
Hereafter is a summary of the optimization and debug flags set by
Buildroot and appended by CMake.
* Flags set by Buildroot depending on the configuration:
BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG | Optim. level | Buildroot {C,CXX}FLAGS
=================+=====================+=======================
y | BR2_OPTIMIZE_S | -Os -gx
y | BR2_OPTIMIZE_G | -Og -gx
y | BR2_OPTIMIZE_{0..3} | -On -gx
n | BR2_OPTIMIZE_S | -Os
n | BR2_OPTIMIZE_G | -Og
n | BR2_OPTIMIZE_{0..3} | -On
* Default flags appended by CMake depending on the build type:
Build type | Flags | Effects on {C,CXX}FLAGS
===============+=================+===========================================
Debug | -g | Force -g, compatible with BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG
MinSizeRel | -Os -DNDEBUG | Set -Os, compatible with BR2_OPTIMIZE_S
Release | -O3 -DNDEBUG | Set -O3, closest to the others cases,
| | though the optimization level is forced.
RelWithDebInfo | -O2 -g -DNDEBUG | Force -g and set -O2, not friendly with BR
To avoid the CMake flags take precedence over the Buildroot ones, this
change sets in toolchainfile.cmake the per-config compiler flags CMake
can append depending on the build type Buildroot defined.
So, CMake does not mess up with the compilation flags Buildroot sets.
It is still possible to override these per-config flags on the cmake
command line.
Note:
If a CMake-based project forces the compiler and/or linker flag
definitions (the default ones or the per-config ones - e.g.
CMAKE_C_FLAGS/CMAKE_C_FLAGS_{DEBUG,RELEASE}), there is not much
Buildroot can do about it.
So, the flags will be overwritten anyway in these cases.

This means that post-build scripts in a br2-external tree can no longer

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.

Currently, we treat the case where we have no br2-external tree
(BR2_EXTERNAL is empty) differently from the case where we do have one
(BR2_EXTERNAL is not empty).
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.

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.

ExtUtils::MakeMaker is one of the Perl Core modules usually packaged in
Perl package for a Debian/Ubuntu based system.
For a Fedora based system, each Perl Core modules have their own RPM
package. So install only Perl package is not enough.

This script, and its companion library, is more-or-less Buildroot's
equivalent to the kernel get_maintainer.pl script: it allows to get the
list of developers to whom a set of patches should be sent to.
To do so, it first relies on a text file, named DEVELOPERS, at the root
of the Buildroot source tree (added in a followup commit) to list the
developers and the files they are interested in. The DEVELOPERS file's
format is simple:
N: Firstname Lastname <email>
F: path/to/file
F: path/to/another/file
This allows to associate developers with the files they are looking
after, be they related to a package, a defconfig, a filesystem image, a
package infrastructure, the documentation, or anything else.
When a directory is given, the tool assumes that the developer handles
all files and subdirectories in this directory. For example
"package/qt5/" can be used for the developers looking after all the Qt5
packages.
Conventional shell patterns can be used, so "package/python-*" can be
used for the developers who want to look after all packages matching
"python-*".
A few files are recognized specially:
- .mk files are parsed, and if they contain $(eval
$(<something>-package)), the developer is assumed to be looking after
the corresponding package. This way, autobuilder failures for this
package can be reported directly to this developer.
- arch/Config.in.<arch> files are recognized as "the developer is
looking after the <arch> architecture". In this case, get-developer
parses the arch/Config.in.<arch> to get the list of possible BR2_ARCH
values. This way, autobuilder failures for this package can be
reported directly to this developer.
- pkg/pkg-<infra>.mk are recognized as "the developer is looking after
the <infra> package infrastructure. In this case, any patch that adds
or touches a .mk file that uses this infrastructure will be sent to
this developer.
Examples of usage:
$ ./support/scripts/get-developers 0001-ffmpeg-fix-bfin-build.patch
git send-email--to buildroot@buildroot.org --to "Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>" --to "Bernd Kuhls <bernd.kuhls@t-online.de>"

We currently have four lists of packages in the manual:
- the non-virtual target packages,
- the virtual target packages,
- the host packages,
- the deprecated features.
Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much
purpose except to show off.
After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all.
We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its
companion library kconfiglib).

Currently all cmake packages depend on host-cmake. Unfortunately
host-cmake takes a long time to configure and build: almost 7 minutes
on a dual-core i5 with SSD. The time does not change even with ccache
enabled.
Indeed, building host-cmake is avoidable if it is already installed on
the build host: CMake is supposed to be quite portable, and the only
patch in Buildroot for the CMake package seems to only affect
target-cmake.
Thus we automatically skip building host-cmake and use the one on the
system if:
- cmake is available on the system and
- it is recent enough.
First, we leverage the existing infrastructure in
support/dependencies/dependencies.mk to find out whether there's a
suitable cmake executable on the system. Its path can be passed in the
BR2_CMAKE environment variable, otherwise it defaults to "cmake". If
it is enabled, found and suitable then we set BR2_CMAKE_HOST_DEPENDENCY
to empty; otherwise we set BR2_CMAKE_HOST_DEPENDENCY to 'host-cmake' and
override BR2_CMAKE with "$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/cmake" to revert to using
our own cmake (the old behaviour).
Then in pkg-cmake.mk we replace the hard-coded dependency on host-cmake
to using the BR2_CMAKE_HOST_DEPENDENCY variable, and we use $(BR2_CMAKE)
instead of $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/cmake.
Unlike what we do for host-tar and host-xzcat, for host-cmake we do
not add host-cmake to DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ. If we did, host-cmake
would be a dependency for _any_ package when it's not installed on the
host, even when no cmake package is selected.
Cmake versions older than 3.0 are affected by the bug described and
fixed in Buildroot in ef2c1970e4 ("cmake: add patch to fix Qt mkspecs
detection"). The bug was fixed in upstream CMake in version 3.0 [0].
Amongst all the cmake packages currently in Buildroot, the currently
highest version mentioned in cmake_minimum_required() is 3.1 (grantlee
and opencv3).
Thus we use 3.1 as the lowest required cmake for now, until a package is
bumped, or a new package added, with a higher required version.

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.
