bd8ef7a01c rootfs-common: refactor the common compression commands
This makes the compression extension available in a variable, so it
can be used by the fs-specific commands. In this patch, it is used
by iso9660. Following patches show more use cases.

1f3af04db7 packages: add ability for packages to create users
Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root,
or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user.

Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS
variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to
add.

402d1476f7 fs/common.mk: Strip extra whitespace when device table is empty
Since ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLES is a concatenation of two strings separated by
spaces, there will always be a space in it, which means it's never empty.
Therefore, when testing for empty, the condition never evaluate to false.

The following change fixes this problem; it runs qstrip on the overall
combination of the variables, causing the space to be removed if it's the
only thing left.

847895d295 fs/common.mk: delay evaluation of variables
This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra.
For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk.

It also makes it possible to update the variables later, e.g. in the package
override file.

It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's
patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file.

The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted
anymore in the CMD variables or the hooks.

The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET)
variable is already eval'd. Note that it is only redundant if the evaluation of
the uses of the variable is also delayed.

9226a9907c Warn the user about the usage of output/target as the root filesystem
A very common mistake done by our users is that they use
output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is
loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read
documentation, so it is not sufficient.

This patch adds a text file named
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why
output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The
process is:

 * At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been
   copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to
   output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM

 * In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before
   launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this
   file is not present in the generated root filesystem images.

Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two
reasons:

 * It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in
   capital letters inside system/skeleton/

 * The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.

4ef7ec585c Remove unused .fakeroot.* mechanism
There used to be a mechanism using which packages could leave a
.fakeroot.<something> file which could contain commands to be executed
within the fakeroot environment. Since this mechanism is no longer
used by any package, remove it from the common infrastructure.

The latest user was nfs-utils, which used this mechanism to do the
"make install" as root, since doing otherwise was not supported. But
since 16e7b8255c, nfs-utils has been
upgraded and converted to the package infrastructure, and this hack is
no longer necessary. Another past user was the ltp-testsuite package,
for the same reason, and since
a72a670489, the fakeroot hack is no
longer needed.

9dc7b73f3b System config: split static-dev device table setting into seperate option
As discussed here:

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-May/043251.html

Add BR2_ROOTFS_STATIC_DEVICE_TABLE for the extra device table file(s)
to create device nodes in /dev, rather than complicated logic in
BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE, making it complicated to move between static
and dynamic modes.

4e005c47e5 Allow several device tables and split in two parts our device table
This allows to have a device table for all directories/files and
another device table for the device files themselves. Both are needed
for static /dev, but only the first one is needed when
devtmpfs/mdev/udev are used.

We take this opportunity to move the documentation of the device table
format in a common location, package/makedevs/README.

f507921d39 linux: add support for initramfs
In Buildroot, the kernel is built and installed *before* the root
filesystems are built. This allows the root filesystem to correctly
contain the kernel modules that have been installed.

However, in the initramfs case, the root filesystem is part of the
kernel. Therefore, the kernel should be built *after* the root
filesystem (which, in the initramfs case simply builds a text file
listing all files/directories/devices/symlinks that should be part of
the initramfs). However, this isn't possible as the initramfs text
file would lack all kernel modules.

So, the solution choosen here is to keep the normal order: kernel is
built before the root filesystem is generated, and to add a little
quirk to retrigger a kernel compilation after the root filesystem
generation.

To do so, we add a ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_POST_TARGETS variable to the
fs/common.mk infrastructure. This allows individual filesystems to set
a target name that we should depend on *after* generating the root
filesystem itself (contrary to normal ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_DEPENDENCIES,
on which we depend *before* generating the root filesystem).

The initramfs code in fs/initramfs/initramfs.mk uses this to add a
dependency on 'linux26-rebuild-with-initramfs'.

In linux/linux.mk, we do various things :

 * If BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is enabled (i.e if initramfs is
   enabled as a root filesystem type), then we create an empty
   rootfs.initramfs file (remember that at this point, the root
   filesystem hasn't been generated) and we adjust the kernel
   configuration to include an initramfs. Of course, in the initial
   kernel build, this initramfs will be empty.

 * In the linux26-rebuild-with-initramfs target, we retrigger a
   compilation of the kernel image, after removing the initramfs in
   the kernel sources to make sure it gets properly rebuilt (we've
   experienced cases were modifying the rootfs.initramfs file wouldn't
   retrigger the generation of the initramfs at the kernel level).

This is fairly quirky, but initramfs really is a special case, so in
one way or another, we need a little quirk to solve its specialness.

64ec20e6c0 fs: change the way the device table is configured
Until now, the location of the device table was specified by a
variable in board Makefiles. Unfortunately, this variable is not
accessible from fs/common.mk, since the target/ code is included
*after* fs/common.mk.

Anyway, the general idea is to move away from these boards Makefile,
and provide configuration option for things like the device table
location.

Therefore, this patch adds a BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE option which
allows to specify which device table should be used.
