When debugging hidden dependencies, the build order is very important.
Most notably, it is interesting to identify potential culprits.
Add a new top-level rule, show-biuld-order, that dumps all the packages
in the order they would get built.
Note that there are a few differences with show-targets:
- more packages are reported, becasue show-targets does not report
host packages that have no prompt;
- the output is line-based, because we're using $(info $(1)); getting
a single output line like show-targets would require we use an
actual command, like printf '%s ' $(1); but that takes a lot of
time, while $(info $(1)) is almost instantaneous (the time to parse
the Makefiles);
- rootfs targets are not reported.

Currently, the output of printvars copntains the name of the variable,
its expanded value and its un-expanded value.
However, most of the time, we need the actual, expanded value, so it can
be re-used from a (non-Buildroot) infrastructure script, like a
post-build script, or a build-farm driver (e.g. a Jenkins job...)
Add two options that a user may set to change the output of printvars:
- QUOTED_VARS, if set, will quote the value
- RAW_VARS, if set, will print the unexpanded value
The new output by default only prints the expanded value now.
So that it can be used as such:
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION
BUSYBOX_VERSION=1.26.2
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES QUOTED_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES='ncurses util-linux'
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES RAW_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES=$(sort $(BUSYBOX_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES))
And it is even possible to directly evaluate it in a shell script:
eval $(make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION QUOTED_VARS=YES)
Backward compatibility of the output is not maintained. It is believed
that scripts that depended on the previous output were very fragile to
begin with, because they had to filter the non-formatted output
(splitting on spaces or braces was not really possible, because values
could contain either).
Document printvars and its options in the manual; list it in the output
of 'make help'.

The buildroot repository is now mirrored on
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot so we can use Gitlab-CI to
test Buildroot. Gitlab-CI is controlled by a .gitlab-ci.yml file
that exists in the repository.
For now, the only test is building all defconfigs (inspired on
https://travis-ci.org/buildroot/buildroot-defconfig-testing/). Since
all the defconfigs have to be specified in the .gitlab-ci.yml file,
we generate the file based on .gitlab-ci.yml.in. The generated
.gitlab-ci.yml file has to be committed into the repository, though,
otherwise Gitlab-CI doesn't see it. So there is also a test to verify
that .gitlab-ci.yml is up-to-date.
Building all the defconfigs takes a long time. Gitlab-CI will do that
every time it pulls from git.buildroot.org, which is once per hour.
That is way too often. Therefore, the defconfigs are not built on pull,
but only on explicit trigger through the API or when a tag is added.

We reset MAKEOVERRIDES to avoid passing down variables that are
overridden on the command line to the package build systems. Indeed,
the variables overridden on the command line will be Buildroot
variables and not relevant to the package build system. In particular
the O option is used by some packages and the value passed in on the
command line is plain wrong for the individual package.
However, in commit 916e614b, MAKEOVERRIDES was moved earlier and it
was reset _before_ re-entering make in the cases when something has
to be fixed up (incorrect umask, non-absolute paths in O or CURDIR).
Therefore, if make is re-entered, any command line overrides are lost.
This particularly bites the autobuilders, because they use
O=<relative path> to specify the output directory, and they add
BR2_JLEVEL=... to avoid starting too many jobs in parallel. The
BR2_JLEVEL override is lost.

When $(CURDIR) and/or $(O) contain symlinks in their paths, they can be
resolved differently, depending on each package build-system (whether it
uses the given paths or get the absolute canonical ones).
Using absolute canonical paths will help achieving reproducible builds and
will make easier tracking down host machine paths leaking into the host,
target or staging trees.
So, this change ensures the build takes place with the CURDIR and O
variables are set to their absolute canonical paths.
In order to recall the toplevel makefile with absolute canonical paths
for $(CURDIR) and $(O), we need to:
1- Compute the absolute canonical paths for $(CURDIR) and $(O) that will
be passed to the sub-make. This is achieved using the 'realpath' make
primitive. However, some care must be taken when manipulating O:
- the out-of-tree makefile wrapper happens a trailing "/.", we need
to strip this part away to not break the comparison driving the
sub-make call;
- the user can leave a trailing '/' to $(O);
- according to [1,2], realpath returns an empty string in case of
non-existing entry. So, to avoid passing an empty O= variable to
sub-make, it is necessary to define the output directory and create
it prior to call realpath on it (because on the first invocation,
$(O) usually does not yet exists), hence the trick doing the mkdir
right before calling realpath.
2- Update EXTRAMAKEARGS with the absolute canonical $(O) and use it
when call recalling the top-level makefile with umask and paths
correctly set.
3- Lastly, update the condition for setting the CONFIG_DIR and
NEED_WRAPPER variables.
Note:
* This change takes care of the makefile wrapper installed in $(O) to
avoid unneeded make recursion.

Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.
However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:
- the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
"better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");
- similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.
But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.
Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.
Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

Currently, we only support at most one br2-external tree. Being able
to use more than one br2-external tree can be very useful.
A use-case would be for having a br2-external to contain the basic
packages, basic board defconfigs and board files, provided by one team
responsible for the "board-bringup", while other teams consume that
br2-external as a base, and complements it each with their own set of
packages, defconfigs and extra board files.
Another use-case would be for third-parties to provide their own
Buildroot packaging in a br2-external tree, along-side the archives for
their stuff.
Finally, another use-case is to be able to add FLOSS packages in a
br2-external tree, and proprietary packages in another. This allows
to not touch the Buildroot tree at all, and still be able to get in
compliance by providing only that br2-external tree(s) that contains
FLOSS packages, leaving aside the br2-external tree(s) with the
proprietary bits.
What we do is to treat BR2_EXTERNAL as a colon-separated (space-
separated also work, and we use that internally) list of paths, on which
we iterate to construct:
- the list of all br2-external names, BR2_EXTERNAL_NAMES,
- the per-br2-external tree BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME) variables, which
point each to the actual location of the corresponding tree,
- the list of paths to all the external.mk files, BR2_EXTERNAL_MKS,
- the space-separated list of absolute paths to the external trees,
BR2_EXTERNAL_DIRS.
Once we have all those variables, we replace references to BR2_EXTERNAL
with either one of those.
This cascades into how we display the list of defconfigs, so that it is
easy to see what br2-external tree provides what defconfigs. As
suggested by Arnout, tweak the comment from "User-provided configs" to
"External configs", on the assumption that some br2-external trees could
be provided by vendors, so not necessarily user-provided. Ditto the menu
in Kconfig, changed from "User-provided options" to "External options".
Now, when more than one br2-external tree is used, each gets its own
sub-menu in the "User-provided options" menu. The sub-menu is labelled
with that br2-external tree's name and the sub-menu's first item is a
comment with the path to that br2-external tree.
If there's only one br2-external tree, then there is no sub-menu; there
is a single comment that contains the name and path to the br2-external
tree.

This unique NAME is used to construct a per br2-external tree variable,
BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH, which contains the path to the br2-external
tree.
This variable is available both from Kconfig (set in the Kconfig
snippet) and from the .mk files.
Also, display the NAME and its path as a comment in the menuconfig.
This will ultimately allow us to support multiple br2-external trees at
once, with that NAME (and thus BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)) uniquely defining
which br2-external tree is being used.
The obvious outcome is that BR2_EXTERNAL should now no longer be used to
refer to the files in the br2-external tree; that location is now known
from the BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH variable instead. This means we no
longer need to expose, and must stop from from exposing BR2_EXTERNAL as
a Kconfig variable.
Finally, this also fixes a latent bug in the pkg-generic infra, where we
would so far always refer to BR2_EXTERNAL (even if not set) to filter
the names of packages (to decide whether they are a bootloader, a
toolchain or a simple package).
Note: since the variables in the Makefile and in Kconfig are named the
same, the one we computed early on in the Makefile will be overridden by
the one in .config when we have it. Thus, even though they are set to
the same raw value, the one from .config is quoted and, being included
later in the Makefile, will take precedence, so we just re-include the
generated Makefile fragment a third time before includeing the
br2-external's Makefiles. That's unfortunate, but there is no easy way
around that as we do want the two variables to be named the same in
Makefile and Kconfig (and we can't ask the user to un-quote that variable
himself either), hence this little dirty triple-inclusion trick.

Currently, we treat the case where we have no br2-external tree
(BR2_EXTERNAL is empty) differently from the case where we do have one
(BR2_EXTERNAL is not empty).
There is now no reason to treat those two cases differently:
- the kconfig snippet is always generated appropriately (i.e. it would
include the br2-external tree if set, or include nothing otherwise);
- we no longer have a dummy br-external tree either.
Also, the Makefile code to handle BR2_EXTERNAL is currently quite
readable if at least a little bit tricky.
However, when we're going to add support for using multiple br2-external
trees simultaneously, this code would need to get much, much more complex.
To keep the Makefile (rather) simple, offload all of the handling of
BR2_EXTERNAL to the recently added br2-external helper script.
However, because of Makefiles idiosyncracies, we can't use a rule to
generate that Makefile fragment.
Instead, we use $(shell ...) to call the helper script, and include the
fragment twice: once before the $(shell ...) so we can grab a previously
defined BR2_EXTERNAL value, a second time to use the one passed on the
command line, if any.
Furthermore, we can't error out (e.g. on non-existent br2-external tree)
directly from the fragment or we'd get that error on subsequent calls,
with no chance to override it even from command line.
Instead, we use a variable in which we store the error, set it to empty
before the second inclusion, so that only the one newly generated, if
any, is taken into account.
Since we know the script will always be called from Makefile context
first, we know validation will occur in Makefile context first. So we
can assume that, if there is an error, it will be detected in Makefile
context. Consequently, if the script is called to generate the kconfig
fragment, validation has already occured, and there should be no error.
So we change the error function to generate Makefile code, so that
errors are caught as explained above.
Lastly, when the value of BR2_EXTERNAL changes, we want to 'forget'
about the previous value of the BR2_EXTERNAL_MK variable, especially in
the case where BR2_EXTERNAL is now set to empty, so that we do not try
to include it later. That's why we first generate empty version of
BR2_EXTERNAL_MK, and then assign it the new value, if any.

Now that we generate a kconfig snippet, we can conditionally include the
BR2_EXTERNAL's Config.in only when BR2_EXTERNAL is supplied by the user,
which means our empty/dummy Config.in is no needed.
As for external.mk, we can also include it only when BR2_EXTERNAL is
supplied by the user, which means our empty/dummy external.mk is no
longer needed.
Ditch both of those files, and:
- only generate actual content in the Kconfig snippet when we actually
do have a BR2_EXTERNAL provided by the user (i.e. BR2_EXTERNAL is not
empty);
- add a variable that contains the path to the external.mk provided by
the user, or empty if none, and include the path set in that variable
(make can 'include' nothing without any problem! ;-) )

Move the inclusion of br2-external's Config.in to the generated kconfig
snippet.
This will ultimately allow us to use more than one br2-external tree.
Offload the "User-provided options" menu to the generated Kconfig
snippet. We can also move the definition of the Kconfig-version of
BR2_EXTERNAL into this snippet.
We introduce an extra check that was not present in the previous code,
to check that we do have permission on that directory. Prevciously, it
was handled as a side effect of not being able to cd into there, but it
is cleaner to check it expressly.
