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...

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.

To generate the glibc locale data, we call into a recursive Makefile,
so as to generate locales in parallel. This is done as part of a
target-finalize hook.
However, that hook is registered after all packages have been parsed,
and as such, it maye be registered after hooks defined in packages.
Furthermore, the expansion of target-finalize hooks is done in a recipe,
so it is not easy to understand whether this generates a "simple" rule
or not.
As a consequence, despite the use of $(MAKE), make may not notice that
the command is a recursive call, and will decide to close the jobserver
file-descriptors, yielding warnings like:
make[2]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add '+' to
parent make rule.
This causes the lcoale data to not be generated in parallel, which is
initially all the fuss about using a sub-makefile...
So, do as suggested, and prepend the hook with a '+', so that it is
explicit to make that it should not close its jobserver fds.

Commit 5c54c3ef3d (Makefile: workaround make 4.3 issue for 'printvars
and 'show-vars') did not fully fix the show-vars case, which still
segfaults.
Overall, show-vars generates a JSON blurb. That is supposed to be
machine-readable, so we do not care that the variables are sorted, so
we get rid of it to (slightly) simplify the code.
Then, we currently iterate twice on the list of variables: the first one
to filter-out the 'internal' variables, and the second one to filter
only the variables matching the pattern. We can do away by iterating
only once, and applying both filters at once.
Since we now have an 'and' condition, we can take advantage of it: when
none of the items in $(and) are empty, $(and) evaluates to the last
item, while it evaluates to empty if any of the items is empty. So we
can coalesce the $(if) and $(and) together: $(if $(and a,b),c) is
equivalent to: $(and a,b,c) ; this gains us one parentheses depth.
Finally, the cause for the segfault is an overly-long call to $(info).
Reducing that is not easy: we want to call clean-json on the whole of
the JSON blurb, so we can't emit the individual variables one by one, or
the trailing comma would not be trimmed away.
So, we go crazy: we just output each word from clean-json with $(info).
We can do that, because mk-json-str transforms all spaces in a string
to an escaped UTF-8 sequence, so we will never have spaces in values;
the keys are the variables, so they won't have spaces either; spaces in
the rest of the JSON blurb are totally optional, so we don't care how
many there are. We know there are spaces, because we explicitly
introduce some (after "expanded" or "raw", for example), so we should
never hit a too-big word for $(info) to print.
Thanks to Henri for the suggestion to push $(info) further inside the
macro.

has not been a release of make with the fix for a long time, see [1].
As the root cause seems the 'filter' command cannot handle large
chunks of data, like .VARIABLES, we can workaround the problem by
using a foreach command over .VARIABLES, then use the filter command.
It might not be logical to program it that way, but at least the

directly use the Buildroot cross-compiler.
This Eclipse plugin has not been maintained for years. The last commit
in the repository dates back from September 2017. Since then Eclipse
has moved on, and the plugin is no longer compatible with current
versions of Eclipse.
Also, Eclipse is probably no longer that widely used in the embedded
Linux space, as other more modern IDEs have become more popular.

Always remove the hwdb files.

We do this both from /usr/lib/udev (usual installation path for systemd)

Until now, when BR2_CCACHE=y, ccache support was built into the
toolchain wrapper, and used regardless of whether the toolchain is
using during the Buildroot build itself, or later as part of the SDK.
However, having ccache support forcefully enabled in the SDK can
really be surprising, and is certainly unexpected for a
cross-compilation toolchain. This can be particularly surprising as
the ccache cache directory may be hardcoded in the ccache binary to
point to a folder that does not make sense on the SDK user's machine.
So what this commit does is create a BR2_USE_CCACHE variable, which
when set to 1 tells the toolchain wrapper to use ccache. Not defining
the variable, or specifying any other value that 1 causes the
toolchain wrapper to not use ccache. The main Buildroot Makefile is
modified to export BR2_USE_CCACHE = 1 when ccache support is enabled,
so that ccache is used during the Buildroot build.
However, when someone will use the SDK outside of Buildroot, the
toolchain wrapper will not use ccache.
The BR2_USE_CCACHE variable is only conditionally enabled in the main
Makefile (via ?=) so that it can be overridden in the environment if
one wants to quickly test disabling ccache in a ccache-enabled
Buildroot configuration. This is the scenario that was considered in
commit 792f1278e3 ("toolchain-wrapper:
support change of BR2_CCACHE"), which added the BR_NO_CCACHE variable.
The BR_NO_CCACHE variable is no longer needed, and replaced by this
BR2_USE_CCACHE variable.

This commit adds support for a new type of graph, showing the timeline

sequencing of the package builds.
For a fully serialized build like we have today, this is not super
useful (except to show that everything is serialized), but it becomes
much more useful in the context of top-level parallel build.
We chose to order the graph by the time-of-configure, as it is the
closest to the actual cascade-style of a true dependency graph, which is
tiny bit more complex to achieve properly. The actual result still looks
pretty good.
The graph-build make target is extended to also generate this new

Virtual packages are not added to the _RDEPENDENCIES list of packages
that they depend on (i.e. their provider).
This causes <provider>-show-rdepends to not show the virtual package
and <provider>-show-recursive-rdepends to miss all the packages that
transitively depend on <provider> via the virtual package.
The virtual make targets (e.g. <pkg>-show-info) are also not marked as
phony for virtual packages.
To fix those issues, remove most of the special handling of virtual
packages in pkg-generic by making $($($(1)_KCONFIG_VAR))=y for them as
well.
This also allows removal of some duplicated code in pkg-generic.mk and a
now unneeded special condition in CHECK_ONE_DEPENDENCY.
Still keep the virtual package out of PACKAGES since there is e.g. no
need to rsync per-package target dir to global target dir. I am not
aware of any showstoppers preventing addition to PACKAGES as well,
though, so it is probably just an optimization.

The variable 'KERNEL_ARCH' is actually a normalized version of
'ARCH'/'BR2_ARCH'. For example, 'arcle' and 'arceb' both become 'arc', just
as all powerpc variants become 'powerpc'.
It is presumably called 'KERNEL_ARCH' because the Linux kernel is typically
the first place where support for a new architecture is added, and thus is
the entity that defines the normalized name.
However, the term 'KERNEL_ARCH' can also be interpreted as 'the architecture
used by the kernel', which need not be exactly the same as 'the normalized
name for a certain arch'. In particular, for cases where a 64-bit
architecture is running a 64-bit kernel but 32-bit userspace. Examples
include:
* aarch64 architecture, with aarch64 kernel and 32-bit (ARM) userspace
* x86_64 architecture, with x86_64 kernel and 32-bit (i386) userspace
In such cases, the 'architecture used by the kernel' needs to refer to the
64-bit name (aarch64, x86_64), whereas all userspace applications need to
refer the, potentially normalized, 32-bit name.
This means that there need to be two different variables:
KERNEL_ARCH: the architecture used by the kernel
NORMALIZED_ARCH: the normalized name for the current userspace architecture
At this moment, both will actually have the same content. But a subsequent
patch will add basic support for situations described above, in which
KERNEL_ARCH may become overwritten to the 64-bit architecture, while
NORMALIZED_ARCH needs to remain the same (32-bit) case.
This commit replaces use of KERNEL_ARCH where actually the userspace arch is
needed. Places that use KERNEL_ARCH in combination with building of kernel
modules are not touched.
There may be cases where a package builds both a kernel module as userspace,
in which case it may need to know about both KERNEL_ARCH and
NORMALIZED_ARCH, for the case where they differ. But this is to be fixed on
a per-need basis.

The current printvars output suffers from a serious design flaw:
variables are not delimited, which makes it impossible to reliably
retrieve the value of variables; only variables that are known to
not contain a \n can be relatively safely extracted.
However, in some cases, it is important to be able to retrieve the
multi-line value of a variable, notably the CMDS or the hooks. One
such use-case (to follow in an unscheduled future) would be to hash
the variables that make up a package "configuration", and cache or
extract the files for that package to speed up the build.
Modeled after printvars and show-info, we introduce show-vars (what a
lack of imagination here) that outputs a json dictionary which keys are
the variable names, and for each variable, provides the raw and expanded
values.
Unlike printvars, we do not provide a way to get either the raw or
expanded value; both are systematically printed; a user will get just
the one is needs. Additionally, strings in JSON are quoted, so there is
no need to provide a way to quote variables; that would not make sense.
Note: for printvars, we require that the user provides an explicit
pattern to filter variables on. This is historical (see fd5bd12379,
Makefile: printvars: don't print anything when VARS is not set). The
underlying reasoning was that printvars is too "raw", and variables are
not well delimited, so printvars was mostly used to extract a few values
here and there, from scripts, or to quickly inspect a specific package's
variables during debugging.
But show-vars, although technically plain-text, being JSON, is not very
human-readable, and is mostly aimed at tools that will parse it with a
real JSON parser, and which will want to have a complete view of a lot
of variables at once. As such, and contrary to printvars, it makes sense
to report on all variables by default, unless the user explicitly
requested a subset.
As a final note: a lot of our variables only make sense in the context
of an actual make target. For example, a variable of package foo, that
contains $(@D)/bar, would expand to .../build/FOO-VERSION/bar. This is
because our CMDS and hooks are expanded as the recipe of a stamp file
that lies in the package build directory.
But for show-info, this falls flat on its face: it is not the stamp file
of a package, so there is no package directory, and show-info itself has
not directory part, so $(@D) expands to '.' (dot).
Additionally, some variables may contain calls to $(shell) (e.g. to call
pkg-config), and this also does not work with show-info.
These two issues make it impossible to emit the correct expanded value
of variables. To be noted: printvars has the exact same limitations for
the exact same reasons.

Set HOSTCC_NOCCACHE and HOSTCXX_NOCCACHE only if they are not
set. This allows recursive calls to "make" to work as intended in the
presence of ccache. Such recursive calls to "make" can for example
happen if one calls "make legal-info" from within a post-build script,
to integrate some results of the legal-info output into the root
filesystem.
Without guarding these variables, a recursive invocation of make would
re-define
HOSTCC_NOCCACHE := $(HOSTCC)
and
HOSTCXX_NOCCACHE := $(HOSTCXX)
at a point in time when HOSTCC and HOSTCXX already point to ccache.
It used to work by "accident" until
ca6a2907c2 ("make: support: use `command
-v' instead of `which'"), due to how "which" was behaving when invoked
with multiple arguments. After switching to "command -v", which
behaves different with multiple arguments, this HOSTCC_NOCCACHE
redefinition problem surfaced. Even though
ca6a2907c2 has since then been reverted
for other reasons, it does make sense to guard the definition of
HOSTCC_NOCCACHE and HOSTCXX_NOCCACHE to not rely on a side-effect of
