53ced1f6d3 linux: allow the selection of the architecture's default configuration
To configure the Linux kernel, we currently provide two options:

 1. Passing a defconfig name (for example "multi_v7"), to which we append
    "_defconfig" to run "make multi_v7_defconfig".

 2. Passing a path to a custom configuration file.

Unfortunately, those two possibilities do not allow to configure the
kernel when you want to use the default configuration built into the
kernel for a given architecture. For example, on ARM64, there is a
single defconfig simply called "defconfig", which you can load by
running "make defconfig".

Using the mechanism (1) above doesn't work because we append
"_defconfig" automatically.

One solution would be to change (1) and require the user to enter the
full defconfig named (i.e "multi_v7_defconfig" instead of "multi_v7"),
but we would break all existing Buildroot configurations.

So instead, we add a third option, which simply tells Buildroot to use
the default configuration for the selected architecture. In this case,
Buildroot will configure the kernel by running "make defconfig".

690ed04845 linux: provide symlink dtc->linux-dtc is there is no dtc yet
Commit ab74e09eb4 renamed the dtc host tool
provided by linux to linux-dtc to avoid clashes with the dtc host tool
provided by host-dtc.

However, external scripting may well rely on the existence of a device tree
compiler as $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/dtc, regardless of its source. Changing
these external scripts to use linux-dtc means that the scripts need to be
aware of the buildroot release they are working with, which is not very
nice.

Add a symlink dtc->linux-dtc when no $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/dtc is present.
When host-dtc is not enabled, the end result will be dtc and
linux-dtc representing the same thing.
When host-dtc is enabled, either it is build before linux and no symlink
is created at any time, or it is build after linux, and the 'install'
command in host-dtc will overwrite the symlink with a proper dtc. In both
cases, the end result will be dtc and linux-dtc representing a different
thing.

b1f0212af6 linux: properly install all images in the initramfs case
The target "$(LINUX_DIR)/.stamp_initramfs_rebuilt" uses its own
'cp' command, instead of LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE/LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGES_CMDS
provided by (or updated with) commit 055e6162bb ("linux: don't build
appended DTB image in place and support multiple images") and thus is
not operating properly when APPENDED_DTB is used.

Indeed, it copies a single image, and does not copy the one with the DTB
appended.

This patch replaces the 'cp' command with LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE which
handles APPENDED_DTB.

d6a5d71aba linux: add conditional patch for timeconst.pl
Kernels older than 3.9 (not counting stable releases) used the
timeconst.pl perl script for their build process.
The problem with this script is that it used deprecated perl features,
namely defined(@array) which was removed for the perl 5.22 release,
causing build failure of older kernels on newer distributions.

To fix this instead of going the hard way (moving to the new
timeconst.bc script) use the easy way by patching timeconst.pl with an
upstream patch used for stable releases.

First try a dry-run on the patch to see if it applies, if it does then
call a proper APPLY_PATCHES to it.

Tested against an arbitrary 2.6.30 kernel (applies and builds), against
4.4.1 for a missing timeconst.pl (does not apply since it's missing) and
3.8.13 (does not apply since it's fixed already).

Known broken distributions: fedora 23, debian testing (stretch) and unstable
(sid).

5bbbc5b744 linux: handle read-only dts files
Some fine version control systems make all files read-only. The custom DTS file
may therefore be read-only, and that permission is preserved when copying into
the Linux build directory. A subsequent rebuild tries to 'cp' again, which

5471bac748 linux: add blind kconfig option to require kernel modules
Currently, packages that need the kernel to have support for laodable
modules have two ways to require it:

  - either the use the kernel-module infra, which does it automatically,

  - or they do not use it, and they need to require it manually by
    setting the corresponding Makefile variable; however, they must only
    set it when they are actually enabled, which makes for a slightly
    cumbersome and ugly code, like:

        ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_FOO),y)
        LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES = y
        endif

Introduce a new blind Kconfig option that packages can select to signify
they need kernel modules. That Kconfig option is then used to set the
Makefile variable.

It makes it cleaner:

  - code is simpler (one Kconfig line instead of a Makefile if-block,

  - this is handled at the Kconfig level, which is where we usually
    handle such dependencies.

Packages will be updated in follow-up commits.

055e6162bb linux: don't build appended DTB image in place and support multiple images
Currently, the linux.mk logic for appended DTB image does the
appending of the DTB in place, directly at the end of the zImage using
a >> sign. This is incorrect because if you run "make linux-rebuild"
multiple times, you get the DTB appended over and over again to the
image.

Since keeping the 'zImage' or 'uImage' name for the appended DTB image
is not very clear, this commit moves to using the 'zImage.<dtb>' and
'uImage.<dtb>' format. This way, we can clearly distinguish the
original image from the appended one.

In addition, this naming scheme easily allows to generate *multiple*
appended DTB images: from one zImage, you can generate multiple
zImage.<dtb> for several DTBs, and then generate (if requested) the
corresponding uImage.<dtb>.

To achieve this, this commit:

 - Changes the definition of LINUX_APPENDED_DTB to iterate over
   $(KERNEL_DTS_NAME), and generate a zImage.<dtb> image for each of
   them.

 - Changes the addition of LINUX_APPENDED_DTB for appended uImage to
   also iterate over $(KERNEL_DTS_NAME).

 - Provide a different implementation of LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE which
   installs all the appended DTB images (but not the bare image)

 - Remove the checks that verified that only one DT name is passed
   when appended DTB is used, since we now support generating multiple
   DT images.

Some of the tested configuration:

 - Normal uImage with several DTBs

   BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="mvebu_v7"
   BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UIMAGE=y
   BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UIMAGE_LOADADDR="0x200000"
   BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_SUPPORT=y
   BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INTREE_DTS_NAME="armada-xp-matrix armada-xp-gp armada-370-mirabox"

   Contents of output/images/:

 - Normal zImage with several DTBs

   BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INTREE_DTS_NAME="armada-xp-matrix armada-xp-gp armada-370-mirabox"

   Contents of output/images:

   Contents of output/images:

   zImage.armada-370-mirabox  zImage.armada-xp-gp  zImage.armada-xp-matrix

24745cb4be linux: only install the DTBs when not in appended DTB mode
When you're using the "appended DTB" mode, the Device Tree blob gets
appended to your kernel image, so there is no point in installing both
the DTB and the kernel image to the images or target directories,
installing the kernel image itself is sufficient.

Therefore, this commit disables the definition of LINUX_INSTALL_DTB
when appended DTB is used.

55b80d3bb9 linux: de-duplicate DTB and Linux image installation
Currently, the LINUX_INSTALL_DTB and LINUX_INSTALL_DTB_TARGET macros
are exactly the same, except for the target directory.

Similarly, LINUX_INSTALL_KERNEL_IMAGE_TO_TARGET and
LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGES_CMDS are copying the kernel image, just to a
different place (and with a different strategy).

As a preparation for future additions, this commit de-duplicate this
code:

 - LINUX_INSTALL_DTB becomes a make macro that takes one argument: the
   destination directory.

 - LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE is a new make macro that also takes on
   argument: the destination directory.

Both macros are used by LINUX_INSTALL_KERNEL_IMAGE_TO_TARGET and
LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGES_CMDS to respectively install to the target
directory and the images directory.

9bd541d3b2 linux: simplify adding new extensions
Curently, all three linux extensions follow the same layout:
  - test if the extension is enabled
  - add itself to linux' patch-dependencies
  - declare a macro, added as the pre-patch hook

Except for the macro, all can be commonalised.

Add a simple infrastructure for that:
  - extensions declare themselves in the list of extensions
  - extensions define their macro
  - the infra adds them to the patch-dependencies and pre-patch
    hooks as appropriate

0eba4759fa packages: apply custom patches using *.patch instead of <pkg>-*.patch
Several packages have some logic to apply custom patches that existed
before the BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR mechanism: at91bootstrap,
at91bootstrap3, barebox, uboot and linux. Currently, the logic of
those packages to apply custom patches is to match
<package-name>-*.patch, which is not consistent with what we've done
for patches stored in the package directory, and for patches stored in
BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR: in such cases, we simply apply *.patch.

Therefore, for consistency reasons, this commit changes these packages
to also apply *.patch.

7430a41801 linux: use the package infrastructure to download patches
The linux package has a special handling of patches, with quite a bit
of legacy in it. A problem caused by this special handling is that the
linux package calls directly the DOWNLOAD_WGET macro, which means that
the package infrastructure isn't aware of which patches get
downloaded, and it prevents doing changes inside the package download
infrastructure.

This commit changes the handling of patches in the linux package in
the following way:

 * The LINUX_PATCHES variable is kept as is: it lists all the patches
   mentioned in the Config.in option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH. This
   option can contain http://, ftp://, https:// URLs, path to local
   files or local directories.

   This variable is *not* used by the generic package infrastructure,
   so it is purely internal to the Linux package.

 * The LINUX_PATCH variable is now filled in with the list of patches
   that should be downloaded. It is derived from LINUX_PATCHES by
   filtering the patches that have http://, ftp:// or https:// in
   their path. Since <pkg>_PATCH is handled by the package
   infrastructure, it means that those patches are now automatically
   downloaded and applied by the package infrastructure.

 * The LINUX_APPLY_PATCHES hook is renamed to
   LINUX_APPLY_LOCAL_PATCHES, because it is now only responsible of
   applying local patches: remote patches are handled by
   LINUX_PATCH. The implementation of the hook is changed to filter
   out the patches that have already taken care of by LINUX_PATCH, so
   that we only iterate through the list of local patches or local
   patch directories.

[Thomas: adjust comment in the code according to Yann comments.]

541d9937d4 linux/linux.mk: custom dts path - build dtb only from *.dts files
When building device tree blobs from custom *.dts files, buildroot
initializes KERNEL_DTS_NAME variable from all given file names.
This causes that user can't provide one *.dts file and some other
*.dtsi files as dependencies.

Problem is fixed by adding filter for initializing KERNEL_DTS_NAME
variable with *.dts files only. All user provided files are copied
into kernel source tree, but only file names suffixed with *.dts
are used for building appropriate *.dtb files.

[Thomas: add comment into the code to explain why we are filtering
.dts files only.]

00daf37c4f linux: avoid unnecessary changes in defconfig for INITRAMFS_SOURCE
When Buildroot is configured to append the root filesystem to the Linux
kernel as initramfs, Buildroot sets the path to the initramfs source
dynamically in the Linux configuration file.

As this path is specified as an absolute path, typically being different
for different users of the same project (e.g. containing a username),
saving the configuration to a version control system (for example using
'make linux-update-defconfig') would result in a difference for this
path at every invocation by a different user.
Although this is technically not an issue, it is confusing that this
generates a difference.

Address this issue by using a not-yet-expanded make variable to specify
the path to the initramfs source. That variable will be expanded by the
Linux build system, which uses it both as a Makefile variable and a
shell variable; thus, it needs to be specified in LINUX_MAKE_ENV (so
it is exported and available in sub-processes of make).  Any saved
configuration file would simply contain the reference to the
not-yet-expanded variable.

As in the Linux build system, the config variables are both read from
make as from a shell script, we cannot use $() syntax as this would be
interpreted as a command invocation by the shell. Instead, use ${}
syntax which is interpreted as variable reference both by the shell as
by make.

[Thomas:
 - Really make the patch work by using $(LINUX_MAKE_ENV) instead of
   $(TARGET_MAKE_ENV). Otherwise, the new BR2_BINARIES_DIR variable is
   not passed at all stages of the build process, which makes the
   build fail when an initramfs is used.]
