When a package wants to build a kernel module, we should ensure that the
kernel does support modules.
This patch does it automatically for packages using the kernel-module
infrastructure.
Packages that do not use it will have to set it manually (to be done in
a followup patch).

Both of CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK and CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK are needed by
xtables-addons.
Although the current code does enable them in the linux' .config file,
the former is protected behind CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED, which may be
missing from a user-supplied (def)config file, and is missing from some
of the bundled defconfigs as well.
For example, the following defconfig fails to build:
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="i386"
BR2_PACKAGE_XTABLES_ADDONS=y
So, also force-enable CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED.

This commit add an infrastructure to build linux kernel

Currently, the only linux kernel tool packaged in Buildroot
is perf and it's packaged as a separate generic package.
This is a problem for licence information raised in this
thread [1].
Since these tools require to build a Linux kernel, we can
use some hooks in linux package like we did for linux
extensions [2] and remove the perf package.

If we check that the user provides a config file after we call to the
kconfig-package infra, the error message we get is the one for the
kconfig-package infra, not the custom error message we want to show to
the user.
So, only call kconfig-package after we do the check. Move the check with
the existing checks for the DTS, for consistency.

The ktap package requires some parts of the kernel tracing
infrastructure to be enabled, especially
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING. However, this option is a blind option in the
kernel, so enabling it in linux.mk has no effect: we need to enable a
non-blind option that selects CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING. We've chosen to
select CONFIG_ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS.
This fixes the build of ktap.
[Thomas: use CONFIG_ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS as suggested by Arnout.]

This commit removes BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH because this
option never worked. It was added in commit
8797a9cd1f, which added package/rtai/
and RTAI as a Linux extension.
The option prompt says "Path for RTAI patch file", so let's say you
specify /home/foo/bar/myrtai.patch as the value for
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH.
Then the code does:
RTAI_PATCH = $(call qstrip,$(BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH))
and we have a package called 'rtai', so the normal logic of
<pkg>_PATCH applies. Since the <pkg>_PATCH value does not contain
ftp://, http:// or https://, the package infrastructure will try to
download $(RTAI_SITE)/$(RTAI_PATCH), i.e:
https://www.rtai.org/userfiles/downloads/RTAI/home/foo/bar/myrtai.patch
Pretty clear that it has no chance of working.
Now, let's assume an URL is used as the value of
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH, such as
http://foo.com/bar/myrtai.patch. In this case, it will be properly
downloaded by the package infrastructure. But then, the following code
kicks in:
define RTAI_PREPARE_KERNEL
$(APPLY_PATCHES) \
$(LINUX_DIR) \
$(dir $(RTAI_PATCH)) \
$(notdir $(RTAI_PATCH))
endef
The value of $(dir $(RTAI_PATCH)) will be http://foo.com/bar/. How
can $(APPLY_PATCHES) make use of such a stupid patch location?
[Thomas: add Config.in.legacy handling, as suggested by Arnout, even
if we believe that no-one could have ever used this option.]

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

Since the move to the kconfig-package infra, linux extensions are
broken.
In our linux package, extensions are applied as pre-patch hooks.
Before the kconfig-package infra, we had custom rules for the
linux-*config targets, which were of the form:
linux-menuconfig: linux-configure
$(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) menuconfig
This caused the linux tree to be fully configured before running the
configurators, and thus linux dependencies were entirely fullfilled, and
extensions were properly applied.
Since we migrated (in dff25ea), the kconfig-package infra introduces a
(hidden, internal) intermediate step 'kconfig-fixup' and decorelates the
kconfig-part of the configuration from the actual package-part of the
configuration:
linux-configure -------> kconfig-fixup --> .config --> $(LINUX_CONFIG_FILE)
/
linux-menuconfig --'
As thus, this (very useful!) use-case breaks (starting from a clean
Buildroot tree):
make menuconfig
-> enable a kernel and at least one extension
-> save and exit
make linux-menuconfig
-> extensions are not available
Fix that by using the newly-introduced patch-dependencies, so that
extensions are available before we try to patch the linux kernel.

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.
