* core/br2-external: properly report unexpected errorsYann E. MORIN2017-03-261-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unextected error in the br2-external script are properly caught, but they are not reported properly, and we end up in either of two situations: - the .br2-external.mk file is not generated, in which case make will try to find a rule to generate it (because the 'include' directive tries to generate missing files); - the .br-external.mk file is generated but does not contain the error variable, and thus the build might not get interrupted. We fix that by using a trap on the pseudo ERR signal, to emit the error variable on unexpected errors. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* core/br2-external: fix use of relative pathsYann E. MORIN2017-01-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #9576 When the path to a br2-external tree is relative, make enters an endless recursive loop (paths elided for brevity): $ make BR2_EXTERNAL=.. foo_defconfig make[1]: stat: ../configs/../configs/../configs[...]/toto_defconfig: Filename too long make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../configs/../configs/../configs[...]/toto_defconfig', needed by '../configs/../configs/../configs[...]/toto_defconfig'. Stop. Makefile:79: recipe for target '_all' failed make: *** [_all] Error 2 It is a bit complex to understand the actual technical reason for this never-ending expansion; it seems it happens in the code generated by the percent_defconfig macro. Not sure why, though... But the root cause is the relative path. Just use absolute, canonical paths to br2-external trees. Always.

* core/br2-external: restore compatibility with old distrosYann E. MORIN2016-11-231-17/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the br2-external script uses bash-4's associative arrays. However, some oldish enterprise-class distros like RHEL5 still use bash-3.1 which lacks associative arrays. We restore compatibility with those oldish distros using 'eval' to emulate associative arrays, as suggested by Arnout.

* core/br2-external: export paths and descriptionsYann E. MORIN2016-10-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we support multiple br2-external trees, BR2_EXTERNAL is no longer exported in the environment. This means that post-build scripts in a br2-external tree can no longer find their own files (well, they could re-invent the path by stripping their known-relative path, but that'd be ugly, especially since we can very well provide it). Export the path for each br2-external trees as environment variables. Do so for the description as well, as a courtesy. Also, re-order variable definitions to be more logical: first, purely internal variables, then exported variables. Reported-by: Benoît Allard <benoit.allard@greenbone.net> Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* core: add support for multiple br2-external treesYann E. MORIN2016-10-161-40/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* core: introduce per br2-external NAMEYann E. MORIN2016-10-161-9/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* core: offload handling of BR2_EXTERNAL into the scriptYann E. MORIN2016-10-161-8/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* core: get rid of our dummy br2-external treeYann E. MORIN2016-10-161-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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! ;-) ) Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* core: do not hard-code inclusion of br2-external in KconfigYann E. MORIN2016-10-161-0/+88
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. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
