10fc02b984 linux: generate KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP date whith LC_ALL=C
Fix kernel reproducible build if a non-C locale is used on the host
system.

When building the Linux kernel, scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh does 'date
-d"$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP" +%s'. In linux.mk, Buildroot sets
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to "$(shell date -d @$(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH))".

For example, if LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 is defined in the host system, it does
not work:

- LC_ALL=C date -d"$(LC_ALL=C date)" : ok
- LC_ALL=C date -d"$(LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 date)" : error

LANG/LC_ALL variables exported in the main Makefiles are not passed in
the $(shell ...) sub-shells.

af109fb444 linux: override build timestamp for reproducible builds
Linux kernel include a few information about build environment in its binary.
This feature is incompatible with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE. This patch overload build
information when BR2_REPRODUCIBLE is enabled.

Note that usage of KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is not mandatory since Buildroot
use `fakedate'. However, native solution is prefered when upstream
provide one.

20b1446669 linux/tools: make it a real, separate package
The kernel source tree also contains the sources for various userland
tools, of which cpupower, perf or selftests.

Currently, we have support for building those tools as part of the
kernel build procedure. This looked the correct thing to do so far,
because, well, they *are* part of the kernel source tree and some
really have to be the same version as the kernel that will run.

However, this is causing quite a non-trivial-to-break circular
dependency in some configurations. For example, this defconfig fails to
build (similar to the one reported by Paul):

    BR2_arm=y
    BR2_cortex_a7=y
    BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_VFPV4=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD=y
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git"
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="26f3b72a9c049be10e6af196252283e1f6ab9d1f"
    BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="bcm2709"
    BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_CPUPOWER=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_CRYPTODEV=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSL=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCURL=y

This causes a circular dependency, as explained by Thomas:

 - When libcurl is enabled, systemd depends on it

 - When OpenSSL is enabled, obviously, will use it for SSL support

 - When cryptodev-linux is enabled, OpenSSL will depend on it to use
   crypto accelerators supported in the kernel via cryptodev-linux.

 - cryptodev-linux being a kernel module, it depends on linux

 - linux by itself (the kernel) does not depend on pciutils, but the
   linux tool "cpupower" (managed in linux-tool-cpupower) depends on
   pciutils

 - pciutils depends on udev when available

 - udev is provided by systemd.

And indeed, during the build, we can see that make warns (it's only
reported as a *warning*, not as an actual error):

    [...]
    make[1]: Circular /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/openssl-1.0.2h/.stamp_configured
    <- cryptodev-linux dependency dropped.
    >>> openssl 1.0.2h Downloading
    [...]

So the build fails later on, when openssl is actually built:

    eng_cryptodev.c:57:31: fatal error: crypto/cryptodev.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    <builtin>: recipe for target 'eng_cryptodev.o' failed

Furthermore, graph-depends also detects the circular dependency, but
treats it as a hard-error:

    Recursion detected for  : cryptodev-linux
    which is a dependency of: openssl
    which is a dependency of: libcurl
    which is a dependency of: systemd
    which is a dependency of: udev
    which is a dependency of: pciutils
    which is a dependency of: linux
    which is a dependency of: cryptodev-linux
    Makefile:738: recipe for target 'graph-depends' failed

Of course, there is no way to break the loop without losing
functionality in either one of the involved packages *and* keep
our infrastructure and packages as-is.

The only solution is to break the loop at the linux-tools level, by
moving them away into their own package, so that the linux package will
no longer have the opportunity to depend on another package via a
dependency of one the tools.

All three linux tools are thus moved away to their own package.

The package infrastructure only knows of three types of packages: those
in package/ , in boot/ , in toolchain/ and the one in linux/ . So we
create that new linux-tools package in package/ so that we don't have to
fiddle with yet another special case in the infra. Still, we want its
configure options to appear in the kernel's sub-menu.

So, we make it a prompt-less package, with only the tools visible as
options of that package, but without the usual dependency on their
master symbol; they only depend on the Linux kernel.

Furthermore, because the kernel is such a huge pile of code, we would
not be very happy to extract it a second time just for the sake of a few
tools. We can't extract only the tools/ sub-directory from the kernel
source either, because some tools have hard-coded path to includes from
the kernel (arch and stuff).

Instead, we just use the linux source tree as our own build tree, and
ensure the linux tree is extracted and patched before linux-tools is
configured and built.

10c4d27aef linux: use INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 to strip modules
We used to do a special handling of Linux kernel modules when stripping
target binaries because there's some special precious data in modules
that we must keep for them to properly operate. This is for example true
for stack unwinding data etc.

It turned out there're cases when our existing "strip --strip-unneeded"
doesn't work well. For example this removes .debug_frame section used by
Linux on ARC for stack unwinding, refer to [1] and [2] for more details.

Now Linux kernel may strip modules as a part of "modules_install" target
if INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 is passed in command line. And so we'll do
allowing kernel decide how to strip modules in the best way.

Still note as of today Linux kernel strips modules uniformly for all
arches with "strip" command, so this commit alone doesn't solve
mentioned problem but it opens a possibility to add later a patch to the
kernel which will strip modules for ARC differently - and that's our
plan for mainline kernel.

e782cd5b1b Revert "Added local directory as source of kernel code"
This reverts commit 73da2ff6f7.

The reason for adding support for a local location was to be able to do
development on the Linux kernel source tree on a local directory rather
than have to clone it for every build.

We already have a mechanism for that, it's called override-srcdir. It's
been available since September 2011, more than a year before this patch
was committed.

Otherwise, we're going to be adding support for local sources in other
packages. First was U-Boot as submitted by Adam. But what next? We can't
have such support for all packages, especially since override-srcdir
does the job.

Besides, using a local source tree makes the build non-reproducible, so
we don't really want to have this in a .config (or defconfig).

We only handle the boolean option in legacy, as there is nothing we can
do with the directory path.

f55adea434 linux: cpupower needs gettext

We need to disable NLS, otherwise it tries to compile the .po files.
We also need to pass -lintl, otherwise it forgets to link with it
(because, the world is glibc-only, you did not know? And glibc does not
need we link with -lintl, so why would we? Oh, yes, we also reinvented
our super intelligent one-off Makefile rather than use one of the
standard buildsystems).

Fixes #9181:

53ced1f6d3 linux: allow the selection of the architecture's default configuration
To configure the Linux kernel, we currently provide two options:

 1. Passing a defconfig name (for example "multi_v7"), to which we append
    "_defconfig" to run "make multi_v7_defconfig".

 2. Passing a path to a custom configuration file.

Unfortunately, those two possibilities do not allow to configure the
kernel when you want to use the default configuration built into the
kernel for a given architecture. For example, on ARM64, there is a
single defconfig simply called "defconfig", which you can load by
running "make defconfig".

Using the mechanism (1) above doesn't work because we append
"_defconfig" automatically.

One solution would be to change (1) and require the user to enter the
full defconfig named (i.e "multi_v7_defconfig" instead of "multi_v7"),
but we would break all existing Buildroot configurations.

So instead, we add a third option, which simply tells Buildroot to use
the default configuration for the selected architecture. In this case,
Buildroot will configure the kernel by running "make defconfig".
