The common filesystem infrastructure already supports a
<fs>_PRE_GEN_HOOKS variable, which allows filesystem makefiles to
register some actions to be done before the root filesystem image is
generated.
This commit adds a similiar <fs>_POST_GEN_HOOKS variable, which will
allow filesystem makefiles to do some actions after the filesystem
image has been generated. It will initially be used by the iso9660
filesystem to delete the temporary directory it creates.

The code in fs/common.mk properly triggers the build of host-mkpasswd
when at least one package specifies a <pkg>_USERS variable. However,
when no selected package specifies a <pkg>_USERS variable but the user
uses a custom users table through BR2_ROOTFS_USERS_TABLES, then we
forget to build host-mkpasswd, leading to build failures if you don't
have mkpasswd installed in your machine.
This commit fixes that by taking into account both the package users
table and the custom users table when deciding to depend or not on
host-mkpasswd.

Commit 4570dbcb14
("4570dbcb14b394d8f3c97baf4c9e5f4f225d1d37") added the dependencies of
rootfs building logic to PACKAGES, only thinking about the case where
rootfs building logic actually depends on real, normal packages
(host-mtd, host-genext2fs, etc.). But some file systems (rootfs-ubi)
depend on other filesystem images (rootfs-ubifs). And such targets
should not be added to PACKAGES, otherwise an incorrect circular
dependency is created.
This commit fixes that by only adding the rootfs building logic
dependencies that do *not* start with rootfs- to the global PACKAGES
variable.

The logic for creating most of the filesystem images requires a
certain number of host packages to be built. However, those packages
are not currently listed in the global PACKAGES variables, and they
are not dependencies of any other package listed in the PACKAGES
variable.
While it does not have any practical implications, it makes sense to
have those packages listed in the global PACKAGES variable, which this
commit implements.

The inner-xxx-targets in the buildroot package infrastructures are
evaluated using $(eval) which causes variable references to be a bit
different than in regular make code. As we want most references to be
expanded only at the time of the $(eval) we should not use standard
references $(VAR) but rather use double dollar signs $$(VAR). This includes
function references like $(call), $(subst), etc. The only exception is the
reference to pkgdir/pkgname and numbered variables, which are parameters to
the inner block: $(1), $(2), etc.
This patch introduces consistent usage of double-dollar signs throughout the
different inner-xxx-targets blocks.
In some cases, this would potentially cause circular references, in
particular when the value of HOST_FOO_VAR would be obtained from the
corresponding FOO_VAR if HOST_FOO_VAR is not defined. In these cases, a test
is added to check for a host package (the only case where such constructions
are relevant; these are not circular).
Benefits of these changes are:
- behavior of variables is now again as expected. For example, setting
$(2)_VERSION = virtual in pkg-virtual.mk will effectively work, while
originally it would cause very odd results.
- The output of 'make printvars' is now much more useful. This target shows
the value of all variables, and the expression that led to that value.
However, if the expression was coming from an inner-xxx-targets block, and
was using single dollar signs, it would show in printvars as
VAR = value (value)
while if double dollar signs are used, it would effectively look like
VAR = value (actual expression)
as is intended.
This improvement is for example effective for FOO_DL_VERSION, FOO_RAWNAME,
FOO_SITE_METHOD and FOO_MAKE.
The correctness of this patch has been verified using 'make printvars',
'make manual' and 'make legal-info' before and after applying this patch,
and comparing the output.

When using a custom rootfs skeleton, the host-mkpasswd target is not
automatically built, even if some packages add users (i.e. when
PACKAGES_USERS is not empty).
In this case, the rootfs generation may fail because the mkpasswd
provided by some distribution does not support all options used in the
mkusers script.
This patch avoids such trouble by automatically adding the host-mkpasswd
package to the dependency list of the rootfs targets if users needs

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.

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.

There used to be a mechanism using which packages could leave a

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

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.

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
