Some packages have their rust sources as a sub-directory, rather
than at the root of the source tree.
Do like we do for autotools-package, and use the package's _SRCDIR
rather than the top-level directory $(@D).
Additionally, in such a situation, it is more than probable that
the Cargo.toml is also present in that sub-directory, so use that
when vendoring the package.

Remove override of FOO_{CONF_OPTS,DEPENDENCIES} in conditional

Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>
The doc-asciidoc infra allows document to define sources and resources,
and those can only be local (there is no download support for documents).
The currently documented way to specify those is to use the $(pkgdir)
macro to point to the document sources and resources when they are along
the .mk.
However, this works only for sources and not for resources.
Indeed, sources are used to generate Makefile dependency rules, so
$(pkgdir) is expanded and evaluated during the call to $(doc-asciidoc),
while resources are expanded and evaluated when the rules are executed,
which always happen after all the parsing has be done, at which point
$(pkgdir) expands to the last Makefile that was parsed, which is always
Buildroot's own manual.
This went unnoticed so far because Buildroot's manual is 1) the last to
be parsed, and 2) not using $(pkgdir) anyway.
Additionally, $(pkgdir) is mostly an internal macro, that is, as this
change demonstrates, difficult to use, and thus should not be used, in
packages or in documents.
We fix that by introducing $(FOO_DOCDIR), similar to $(FOO_PKGDIR),
which points to the document directory. We choose not to name the
variable FOO_PKGDIR, because it semantically is not a package.
As a consequence, the last argument to the doc-asciidoc macro is now
superfluous, so it is removed, which causes a little bit of churn in
the main macro. As a further consequence, the third argument in the
inner macro is no longer needed either, so it too is removed, which
causes a bit more churn yet in the inner macro.

Some software decides based on uid/gid whether a user is a system or
normal (human) user, with different behaviour for those flavors (example
journald [2]).
So adding logic to create system-users is necessary, we take the now
common ranges from [1].
This extends the mkusers script to allow -2 for uid/gid, this argument
will take an identifier from the user range. All identifiers used up to
now should have been from the system range, so -1 is now interpreted as
a system user/group.
Note that after this commit, all the UIDs and GIDs that are created
automatically (with -1) will change. That means if there is peristent
data on an existing system that was created by such an automatic user,
it will suddenly belong to a different user. However, this could already
happen before: if a USERS line is added to a package, then other UIDs
may change as well.
Add system/user ranges as variables, and the argument for user/system
uid variable as well. Thus some magic constants could be removed, some
further occurences of -1 were replaced with equivalent logic. For
consistency, the existing MIN/MAX_UID/GID variables are renamed to
FIRST/LAST_USER_UID/GID.
Update the documentation with the new automatic ranges.

Commit 1ba85b7f87 (support/download: add explicit no-hash support)
introduced the 'none' hash type, in an attempt to make hash files
mandatory, but not failing on archives localy generated, like those
for git or svn repositories, especially for those packages where a
version choice was present, which would allow for either remote
archives for which we'd have a hash or VCS trees for which we could
not have a hash for the localy generated archive.
Indeed, back in the time, we did not have a mean to generate
reproducible archives, so having a hash file without a hash for
thosel ocally generated archives would trigger an error in the
hash-checking machinery.
But now, low-and-behold, we do know how to generate those archives,
and we have a mechanism to explicitly exclude some archives from being
hash-checked (e.g. when the version string itself can be user-provided).
As such, the 'none' hash type no longer has any raison d'être, we do not
use it in-tree, and its use in a br2-external tree is most probably
inexistent (as is the use of hash files alotgether most probably).
So we simply drop the support for that.

The current Gitlab CI mechanism allows to trigger all tests in a CI
pipeline by pushing a branch named <something>-runtime-tests, or to
trigger a single test in a CI pipeline by pushing a branch name
<something>-tests.<name of test>.
However, there are cases where it is useful to run a suite of tests,
for example to run all tests in tests.init.test_busybox.
This commit makes that possible by extending the current semantic of
<something>-tests.<name of test> to not expect a complete test name,
but instead to accept all tests that starts with the given pattern.
This allows to do:
git push gitlab HEAD:foobar-tests.init.test_busybox.TestInitSystemBusyboxRo
like it was the case before. But it now also allows to do:

Currently, as Thomas pointed out [0], the help for kconfig packages is
not consistently used and handled by the different packages.
This commit introduces a generic help text for kconfig packages, that is
based on what the package declares:
- the list of kconfig editors it supports;
- whether it is possible to save back the configuration (impossible if
the package uses an in-tree defconfig file);
- whether the package actually supports (loading and saving) defconfig
files, by introducing a new variable a package can set if it does
not (only busybox is known to be in that case).
That new help helper is only used if the package does not already define
its own help, to be consistent with what we do for other _CMDS.

The CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is currently set as 'Debug' in case BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG is
set, and as 'Release' in other cases. However, while the description of
BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG is to enable debug symbols (no runtime impact), the 'Debug'
build type in CMake can actually have runtime impact. For one, because it
does not set -DNDEBUG like is done for 'Release', but also because packages
may do custom things based on it.
The question of which CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Buildroot should set, be it 'Debug',
'Release', 'RelWithDebInfo' or others, has come up several times in the
past. See some references below:
- July 2016: switch from Debug to RelWithDebInfo:
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=4b0120183404913f7f7788ef4f0f6b51498ef363
- October 2016: switch from RelWithDebInfo back to Debug:
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=104bb29e0490bfb487e2e665448dd3ca07fcc2b5
and changes to make sure Buildroot's flags are respected:
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=12494ef48f893684d0800e7f6fe39a2ceaed0451
- August 2017: bug #10246 - "BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG does not have the expected
effect for cmake packages"
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10246
- August 2017: mail thread following bug #10246:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2017-August/200778.html
In the last mail thread, Samuel Martin confirmed that the 'Release' build
type could be used in all cases, because Buildroot is actually making sure
that the optimization flags are those determined by Buildroot, not the
defaults of cmake, thanks to commit 12494ef48f.
But Arnout Vandecappelle objected to using always 'Release', stating that
users may actually want the extra assertions.
With the introduction of BR2_ENABLE_RUNTIME_DEBUG, Buildroot can now cater
for all cases:
- use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release by default. This makes sure that there is no
unexpected performance degradation triggered by enabling BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG.
- users can optionally enable BR2_ENABLE_RUNTIME_DEBUG if they want runtime
debug info like assertions, at the risk of introducing performance
degradation. In this case, we switch to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug.
- orthogonally to the above, BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG still determines passing the
'-g' flag to enable debug symbols, and BR2_OPTIMIZE_X still determines the
used optimization flags.

Due to the recent events at Frenode [0], the channel has become a bit
unreliable (much spammed), and users have started to move away already,
as quite a few other projects have moved their IRC presence away from
Freenode.
There are a few alternatives. The first to spring to mind, is the new
Libera.Chat network [1], managed by the previous Freenode staff, so we
could expect quite a good experience there. However, it is a very young
network. The second well known alternative is the long-established OFTC,
which has been very reliable in its 20 years of existence.
So, let's move to OFTC, just because it has a track-record of robustness
(which Libera.Chat still has to build, for being young).
Note: there are a lot of other IRC networks, some very good too, but we
probably would be much off-topic on most of them.

Sometimes, post-build or post-image scripts need to reinvoke
Buildroot's make, for example to execute "make printvars".
However, so far post-build/image/fakeroot can't trivially run printvars
in a way that worked for both in-tree and out-of-tree builds. Indeed:
* "make printvars" would work for in-tree builds, but not out of tree
builds
* "make -C ${O} printvars" would work for out-of-tree builds, but not
in-tree builds
* "make -C ${BR2_CONFIG%/*} printvars" works in both cases, but it is
a bit cryptic, and two maintainers did not even immediately think of

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.

With autoconf packages, we often specify ac_cv_func_... cached values to
avoid runtime checks during configure. With meson the equivalent is
setting properties in cross-compilation.conf which we cannot do in
Buildroot at the moment.
For example, libglib2 used to set ac_cv_func_printf_unix98 and
ac_cv_func_vsnprintf_c99 so that the system printf could be used, but
with the conversion to meson these checks fail and the gnulib fallback
is used.
Add infrastructure in the same way as FOO_MESON_EXTRA_BINARIES to allow
per-package modification to the cross-compilation properties.

Signed-off-by: Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>
This provides generic functions for Qt5 qmake based packages. It will
make it possible to remove lots of redefinition of
QT5_xxx_{CONFIGURE|BUILD|INSTALL_STAGING}_CMDS. Additionally it
provides a generic target install method which will make most of the
package specific commands obsolete.
This is done by re-running the install step of the qmake generated
Makefile with the package build directory prepended (to the
staging/host path). Even though this does create lengthy pathes it
allows for easy separation of the staging files from the host destined
files by just omitting the resulting BUILD_DIR+HOST_DIR path from the
following rsync call to the real target folder. The cleanup of many
files we dont want in target is deferred to the target-finalize
step. In addition to what's being removed already, we also have to
cleanup some Qt5 specific files (prl) and the documentation directory.
This approach was chosen over copying all files recorded in the pkg-files-list
after some discussion which Thomas Petazzoni summed up:
"We don't yet use pkg-files-list really as part of the build
process anywhere, I feel a bit more comfortable at this point with what
Andreas is proposing."
Thanks to this infrastructure, it will be possible to get rid of the
many conditional install commands because qmake already takes care of
this when generating the Makefile install targets with the given or
autodetected configure options of each package.
However, custom install steps may have to remain in cases where a
particular Buildroot option has no corresponding setting in the
packages configuration options.

since v234 upstream recommands using systemctl preset-all to enable units.
* add a buildroot specific preset file
* use that file to disable getty@tty1
* make systemd depend on host-systemd
* remove all link-creating code that systemd does for us.
Most packages will not be affected by this change, but a few packages
were installing units without manually enabling them. Those packages
will now be automatically enabled.
The fact that those packages were not enabled is almost certainly a bug,
but it is a change of behaviour that needs to be reported
host-systemd also builds udevadm for the host. That means we no longer
need to depend on host-eudev to provide udevadm (that would conflict).

Currently, the formatting we impose on the _LICENSE variable requires
that we also use the rarely used := assignment operator, which makes
the _LICENSE variable the only variable that users have to write with
this operator.
This really departs from the simplicity and consistency of using the
append-assignment, which we use for every other variable.
This is because the append-assignment operator surreptiously
introduces a space between the original value and the appended one. But
we can use this knowledge, to match any instance of a space followed by
a comma, and turn it into a single comma.
This allows users to now have a consistent use of the '=' and '+='
operators we use everywhere else in .mk files.

Currently, we only require a gcc 4.4 version, which now is pretty old
(released in April 2009). This requirement is not even tested nowadays,
with our oldest autobuilder having a 4.7 version only.
And even then, 4.7 is still old enough that it prevents us from
upgrading some packages. For example cmake 3.10+ requires C++11
constructs that were only added in gcc 4.8 (when C++11 support was
finally completed in gcc).
So, update our requirements for gcc to at least 4.8.
