When running 'make printvars', the output stops at the time we dump the
Linux related variables, with:
linux/linux.mk:109: *** Recursive variable `LINUX_TARGET_NAME'
references itself (eventually). Stop.
And that's expected, since we have:
109 LINUX_TARGET_NAME = $(LINUX_IMAGE_NAME)
[...]
112 ifeq ($(LINUX_IMAGE_NAME),)
113 LINUX_IMAGE_NAME = $(LINUX_TARGET_NAME)
114 endif
Even though they are defined in a way that ensures they are in fact not
recursively defined (the if-block ensures that), 'printvars' does dump
all our variables by evaluating all of them, which in that specific case
implies they are recursively defined.
Fix that by explicitly setting LINUX_IMAGE_NAME in each if-block.

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and
does not align the assignment symbols.
This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package
infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable
names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched.
Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is.
The sed command used to do this replacement is:
find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*$#\1 \2#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\]\+\)$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\)\s*$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\(\s*\\\)#\1 \2\3#'
Brief explanation of this command:
^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\) a regular variable at the beginning of the line
\([?:+]\?=\) any assignment character =, :=, ?=, +=
\([^\\]\+\) any string not containing a line continuation
\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\) string, optional whitespace, followed by a
line continuation character
\(\s*\\\) optional whitespace, followed by a line
continuation character
Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second
handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with
line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line
continuation.
This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not
included)
FOO = spaces before
FOO = spaces before and after
FOO = tab before
FOO = tab and spaces before
FOO = tab after
FOO = tab and spaces after
FOO = spaces and tab after
FOO = \
FOO = bar \
FOO = bar space \
FOO = \
GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse
FOO += spaces before
FOO ?= spaces before and after
FOO :=
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
$(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C
AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \
AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0
After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done:
- fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed
expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line
continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have
changed, causing misalignment.
- qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which
actually makes the code more readable.
Finally, the end result was manually reviewed.

The echo statements in the kconfig helpers are currently using double
quotes. For KCONFIG_SET_OPT this is problematic when the value argument
itself contains a double quote (a string value). In this case, the statement
echo "$(1)=$(2)" >> $(3)
would become:
echo "FOO="string value"" >> /some/path/.config
resulting in the string
FOO=string value
in the config file, rather than the properly quoted
FOO="string value"
The linux package worked around this by escaping the quote characters, but
a prettier solution is to use single quoting in the helpers (or
alternatively use no quoting at all).
A side effect of this change is that a $variable in the key or value would
no longer be interpreted by the shell, removing any unexpected behavior.
This change is only really necessary for KCONFIG_SET_OPT, but for symmetry
reasons the other helpers are updated too.

There is no reason to always depend on host-lzop, even when the kernel
compression is not LZO.
Since LZO is not the default compression option in the kernel (and there
is not sign that will change in the foreseeable future), it will always
appear in a config file, whether it is a complete config file or it is
only a defconfig.
So, only depend on host-lzop if the LZO compression is enabled in the
kernel config file (either the defconfig or the custom config file).
This includes:
- kernel compression itself
- initrd compression
- initramfs compression

systemd. The udev daemon is now installed as /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd.
This means that /dev management using udev is only available if systemd

When configuring systemd, the following options are available:
- activation of systemd-journal-gatewayd, to access the journal via
HTTP.
- activation of extra features like journal compression and sealing.
Support for uClibc has also been removed because:
- upstream has no interest in supporting uClibc.
- using a shrinked libc brings no advantage, given the size of all the
programs included in Systemd. So using glibc does not matter.

When one enables the generation of a cpio archive of the root
filesystem, the most likely usage is as an initramfs for the
kernel. This commit ensures that the kernel has initramfs support when
the rootfs cpio image format is chosen.
This will for example ensure that if the user selects the ISO9660
filesystem format (which uses a cpio initramfs), the kernel will have
proper support to load and use the initramfs.
It is worth mentionning that when BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is
enabled, then BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO is always enabled. That's why we
move the enabling of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD from the initramfs case to

Initramfs compression does not make much sense for the architectures
that support compressed kernel images because in this case the data
would be compressed twice. This will eventually result in a bigger
kernel image and time overhead when uncompressing it.
The only reason to use compressed initramfs is to reduce memory
usage when the kernel prepares rootfs, and both the unpacked
filesystem and initramfs.cpio are present in the memory.
Buildroot attempts to force GZIP compression for initramfs,
however it doesn't always work because initramfs compression mode
depends on RAM disk compression supported by the kernel.
Thus, CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP depends on CONFIG_RD_GZIP.
If CONFIG_RD_GZIP is not set, setting GZIP initramfs compression
will have no effect.
Besides, the kernel also supports other compression methods,
like BZIP2, LZMA, XZ and LZO. Forcing the good old GZIP does not
really make much sense any more.
This removes initramfs compression settings from Buildroot,
so that the default value preset in the kernel config is used,
which is CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE.
If initramfs compression is still needed, it can be set
in the kernel config (using make linux-menuconfig)

This patch adds a much more generic one, that can work on basically

As the kernel and bootloaders do not use the normal BR2_PACKAGE_*
Kconfig options, their target name was not automatically added to the
global TARGETS variable. Each bootloader .mk and the linux.mk had to
add their own target manually to TARGETS, and the package
infrastructure was making tests on non-existing Kconfig variables.
This commit improves the package infrastructure so that it looks at
BR2_PACKAGE_<pkg> for packages, BR2_TARGET_<pkg> for bootloaders and
at the special BR2_LINUX_KERNEL for the linux package.
This allows to simplify a little bit the bootloaders and linux .mk
files.

- devtmpfs method enables this feature in kernel
- mdev method adds mdev starting script to the file system

- udev method selects udev for installation

Now that minimal kernel defconfigs are used in Buildroot, the problem
is that copying those minimal configuration files to .config in the
kernel source tree does not work, as kconfig will ask interactively
what should be the value for all unspecified options.
On suggestion on Sam Ravnborg, the easiest way to solve this is to
import the minimal defconfig file as a defconfig inside the kernel
tree (in arch/$(ARCH)/configs) and configure the kernel with it.

When initramfs was not selected as a root filesystem, we forcefully
disabled the initramfs in the kernel configuration.
However, it prevents an user from manually managing its initramfs, as
we override the option he has set in his kernel configuration
file. There's no real reason to do so: when initramfs is not selected
as the root filesystem, just don't touch initramfs related options in
the kernel configuration.

Just as we do for U-Boot, error out in the Linux kernel makefile when

an user using BR 2010.05 and not understand why the kernel build
process was failing. It was because he just forgot to set the path of
the configuration file.
Of course, it doesn't catch all mistakes (like pointing to a
non-existing defconfig or to a non-existing configuration file), but
it at least catches basic mistakes.

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.
