Currently, we expect and only use hash files that lie within the package
directory, alongside the .mk file. Those hash files are thus bundled
with Buildroot.
This implies that only what's known to Buildroot can ever get into those
hash files. For packages where the version is fixed (or a static
choice), then we can carry hashes for those known versions.
However, we do have a few packages for which the version is a free-form
entry, where the user can provide a custom location and/or version. like
a custom VCS tree and revision, or a custom tarball URL. This means that
Buildroot has no way to be able to cary hashes for such custom versions.
This means that there is no integrity check that what was downloaded is
what was expected. For a sha1 in a git tree, this is a minor issue,
because the sha1 by itself is already a hash of the expected content.
But for custom tarballs URLs, or for a tag in a VCS, there is indeed no
integrity check.
Buildroot can't provide such hashes, but interested users may want to
provide those, and currently there is no (easy) way to do so.
So, we need our download helpers to be able to accept more than one hash
file to lookup for hashes.
Extend the dl-wrapper and the check-hash helpers thusly, and update the
legal-info accordingly.
Note that, to be able to pass more than one hash file, we also need to
re-order the arguments passed to support/download/check-hash, which also
impies some shuffling in the three places it is called:
- 2 in dl-wrapper
- 1 in the legal-info infra
That in turn also requires that the legal-license-file macro args get
re-ordered to have the hash file last; we take the opportunity to also
move the HOST/TARGET arg to be first, like in the other legal-info
macros.

commit 21d52e52d8 (package/pkg-utils.mk: break hardlinks in global
{TARGET, HOST}_DIR on per-package build) was recently reverted, so we
are back to a situation where it is possible for packages and post-build
scripts to modify files in-place, and thus impact files in any arbitrary
per-package directory, which may break things on rebuild for example.
21d52e52d8 was too big a hammer, but we can still apply the reasoning
from it, to the aggregation of the final target and host directories.
This solves the case for post-build scripts at least. We leave the case
of inter-package modification aside, as it is a bigger issue that will
need more than just copying files around.
We use --hard-links, so that hard-links in the source (the PPD), are
kept as new hard-links (i.e. "copy" of hard-links) in the destination.
This contributes to limiting the size of target/.

The reinstall, rebuild and reconfigure commands rely on the
left-to-right order of evaluation of the dependencies to make sure that
the stamp files are removed before attempting to rebuild. However, this
order of evaluation is not guaranteed. In particular, if top-level
parallel build is enabled, they are executed in parallel and the stamp
file may not have been removed yet when it is evaluated to decide if
rebuild has to be done.
Since make 4.4, it is possible to reproduce this issue by passing
`--shuffle=reverse` to the make commandline.
To solve this, add a .WAIT directive between the clean and
install/build/configure dependencies. .WAIT was introduced in make 4.4
as well. It makes sure that the dependencies on the left are evaluated
before the dependencies on the right - exactly what we want here.
Earlier versions of make don't know about .WAIT, so we need to add a
.PHONY dependency to effectively ignore it.
Note that this doesn't fix the problem for make versions earlier than
4.4. However, the issue isn't really that important: reinstall, rebuild
and reconfigure are development tools, they're not fully reliable to
begin with, and it's anyway less likely that someone uses `make -j` when
doing a reinstall/rebuild/reconfigure.

The intention of this script is to generate the XML that can be sent to
NVD to request a new CPE identifier.
As discussed on the mailing list [0] keeping up with version numbers of
all registered CPE ID won't work.
In addition the feed used to generated the XML files will be retired
[1]. In the future an API needs to be used for fetching the data in
connection with a local database.
All of this works against keeping this script and porting it to the new
API.
As a last blow Matthew, the original author concluded [2]:
> Makes sense to drop it. There never got to be enough momentum in the overall
> software community to make CVE or even the new identifier really accurate.
The intention is to ignore the version part of CPE IDs in the future,
and only look at the version range specified on a CVE. Therefore, a tool
to add new CPE ID versions isn't useful to us. It might still be useful
to have a tool to create the vendor and project parts of a CPE ID.
However, the current gen-missing-cpe tool doesn't support that, and the
API is anyway going to be retired. So there is no reason at all to keep
this around.
Remove gen-missing-cpe and the cpedb module. Remove the Makefile target
to call the script.
Since the cpedb module is removed, the CPEDB_URL definition must be
moved to the place where it is still used, in pkg-stats.

Teach check-package to detect python files by type and check them using
flake8.
Do not use subprocess to call 'python3 -m flake8' in order to avoid too
many spawned shells, which in its turn would slow down the check for
multiple files. (make check-package takes twice the time using a shell
for each flake8 call, when compared of importing the main application)
Expand the runtime test and the unit tests for check-package.

... just like check-flake8 already does.
When a new check_function is added to check-package, often there are
files in the tree that would generate warnings.
An example is the Sob check_function for patch files:
| $ ./utils/check-package --i Sob $(git ls-files) >/dev/null
| 369301 lines processed
| 46 warnings generated
Currently these warnings are listed when calling check-package directly,
and also at the output of pkg-stats, but the check_function does not run
on 'make check-package' (that is used to catch regressions on GitLab CI
'check-package' job) until all warnings in the tree are fixed.
This (theoretically) allows new .patch files be added without SoB,
without the GitLab CI catching it.
Since now check-package has an ignore file to list all warnings in the
tree, that will eventually be fixed, there is no need to filter the
files passed to check-package.
So test all files in the tree when 'make check-package' is called.
It brings following advantages;
- any new check_function added to check-package takes place immediately
for new files;
- adding new check_functions is less traumatic to the developer doing
this, since he/she does not need anymore to fix all warnings in the
tree before the new check_function takes effect;
- prevent regressions, e.g. ANY new .patch file must have SoB;
- as a side-effect, print a single statistics line as output of
'make ckeck-package'.
But just enabling the check would generate many warnings when
'make check-package' is called, so update the ignore file by using:
$ ./utils/docker-run make .checkpackageignore
Notice: in order to ensure reproducible results, one should run 'make
check-package' and 'make .checkpackageignore' inside the docker image,
otherwise a variation in shellcheck version (installed in the host) can
produce different results.

When a developer fixes an ignored warning from check-package, he/she
needs to update .checkpackageignore
By running './utils/docker-run make check-package' the developer
receives a warning about this.
Make that change easier to make, by adding a helper target on Makefile.
Add an option --failed-only to check-package that generates output in
the format:
<filename> <check_function> [<check_function> ...]
This is the very same format used by check-package ignore file.
Add the phony target .checkpackageignore
So one can update the ignore file using:
$ ./utils/docker-run make .checkpackageignore

Commit e6195c5304 (Makefile: fix use of many br2-external trees) fixed
a slowdown with many br2-external trees. In doing so, it changed the
type of the %_defconfig rule: the stem is no longer present in the
prerequisites, so it changes from a pattern rule to an implicit pattern
rule [0].
It is not unusual to name the build directory after the defconfig that
is being built, so we may end up with a build directory named
meh_defconfig. Before e6195c5304, the pattern rule would not match
[1], but now it does, which causes somewhat-cryptic build failures:
Makefile:1015: *** "Can't find /some/path/meh_defconfig". Stop.
The issue is that we have this set of rules and assignments (elided and
reordered for legibility):
all: world
world: target-post-image
target-post-image: staging-finalize
staging-finalize: $(STAGING_DIR_SYMLINK)
$(STAGING_DIR_SYMLINK): | $(BASE_DIR)
BASE_DIR := $(CANONICAL_O)
CANONICAL_O := $(shell mkdir -p $(O) >/dev/null 2>&1)$(realpath $(O))
So, there is a rule that (eventually) has a dependency on $(O), but we
have no rule that provides it explicitly, so the %_defconfig rule kicks
in, with the stem as "/some/path/meh". When the loop searches all the
".../configs/" directories for a file named ".../configs/%_defconfig",
it actually looks for a file named ".../configs//some/path/meh_defconfig"
and that indeed never matches anything.
The solution is to provide an actual rule for $(BASE_DIR), so that the
implicit rule does not kick in.
[0] Terminology and behaviour in make is hard, so the terms we used here
may be wrong or incorrectly used, and/or the explanations for the
behaviour be wrong or incomplete... Still, the reasoning stands, and
the root cause is the removal of the stem in the RHS of the rule
(adding one back does fix the issue).
[1] not sure how the prerequisite was solved before e6195c5304,
though...

We're naturally not alone in that. Recently this was discussed in curl, and
it turns out that copyright years are not really required:
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-years/

The top level Makefile in buildroot has a recursive rule which causes
the appearance of a hang as the number of directories in BR2_EXTERNAL
increases. When the number of directories in BR2_EXTERNAL is small, the
recursion occurs, but make detects the recursion and determines the
target does not have to be remade. This allows make to progress.
This is the failing rule:
define percent_defconfig
# Override the BR2_DEFCONFIG from COMMON_CONFIG_ENV with the new defconfig
%_defconfig: $(BUILD_DIR)/buildroot-config/conf $(1)/configs/%_defconfig outputmakefile
@$$(COMMON_CONFIG_ENV) BR2_DEFCONFIG=$(1)/configs/$$@ \
$$< --defconfig=$(1)/configs/$$@ $$(CONFIG_CONFIG_IN)
endef
$(eval $(foreach d,$(call reverse,$(TOPDIR) $(BR2_EXTERNAL_DIRS)),$(call percent_defconfig,$(d))$(sep)))
The rule for %defconfig is created for each directory in BR2_EXTERNAL.
When the rule is matched, the stem is 'defconfig_name'. The second
prerequisite is expanded to $(1)/configs/defconfig_name_defconfig. The
rule, and all of the other rules defined by this macro, are invoked
again, but the stem is now $(1)/configs/defconfig_name_defconfig. The
second prerequisite is now expanded to
$(1)/configs/($1)/configs/defconfig_name_defconfig. This expansion
continues until make detects the infinite recursion.
With up to 5 br2-external trees, the time is very small, so that it is
not noticeable. But starting with 6 br2-external trees, the time is
insanely big (so much so that we did not even let it finish after it ran
for hours); see timings toward the end of the commit log.
We fix that by adding a single %_defconfig rule, which is now rsponsible
to find the actual defconfig file that triggered the rule, by iterating
on the reverse list of br2-external trees and then in main tree.
Of course, now, there is no way for make to warn that there is no such
defconfig, as it is no longer part of the prerequisites of the rule. So,
we delegate to the recipe the responsibility to check for that.

Notes: the timings are very dependent on how much the CPU is otherwise
loaded, but having a multi-core CPU slightly loaded helps maintain a
high frequency on the siblings, and that can reduce the above timings
in half! Best to try on an otherwise-idle system.
