<title>kernel.bbclass: Complete fix for modules symlink</title>

The fix backported in commit aa9fc551 of oe-core does not completely fix the
issue (Yocto #4595) as intended. The modules symlink is still created in the
working directory instead of in the deploy directory. To fix this, we just need
to use an absolute path to ${DEPLOYDIR} when creating the symlink.

The modules-${MACHINE}.tgz should link to ${MODULE_TARBALL_BASE_NAME}.
But now it links to an invalid file ${MODULE_TARBALL_BASE_NAME}.bin.
Remove the extra .bin suffix.

Fixes [YOCTO #4991]

The kernel image is installed as part of the kernel-image package, but
the symlink creation/removal via alternatives is being done in
pkg_post(inst|rm)_kernel-base.

Move the postinst alternatives logic into the kernel-image functions.

Currently the names used for the kernel in deploy will contain "AUTOINC"
instead of the final incremental numbering. This fixes the problem by
ensuring data is obtained from the PR service and using the PKG* variables
instead of PE/PV/PR directly.

when we have multilib and a 64bit machine and initramfs then image/lib
directory will not be created and it will end up with errors like

| DEBUG: Python function sstate_task_prefunc finished
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_deploy
| tar: lib: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
| tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

So in order to overcome this shortcoming lets mkdir -p the
lib directory so the modules can be happily installed.

<title>kernel.bbclass: do_strip: allow recipes to strip the kernel</title>

Allow recipes to specify sections to be stripped from the kernel output
using KERNEL_IMAGE_STRIP_EXTRA_SECTIONS.  For example:

KERNEL_IMAGE_STRIP_EXTRA_SECTIONS = ".comment .unwanted"

The kernel output is stripped in place.

Since the toolchain does not give indication when the specified sections
are absent, we read the sections first and make this report by issuing a
warning to the developer.

The toolchain by default strips the image with the -s option (even
when -s is not specified):
-s --strip-all       Remove all symbol and relocation information

For example, these sections are always removed:
.debug_aranges
.debug_info
.debug_abbrev
.debug_line
.debug_frame
.debug_str
.debug_loc
.debug_ranges
.symtab
.strtab

In addition to these, the sections listed in
KERNEL_IMAGE_STRIP_EXTRA_SECTIONS will also be removed.

Only stripping of vmlinux (elf) is supported at this time.  A warning
will be given if the image type is not vmlinux.

Stripping the image could also be done in the kernel, but that would
only work for linux-yocto based kernels, so it's not the route we
decided to go.

<title>kernel.bbclass: do_sizecheck: update path to build image and do not delete</title>

do_sizecheck has a few issues especially with vmlinux image type.

It breaks because KERNEL_OUTPUT is a path relative to ${B}.  When
do_sizecheck runs it does not find the file (because the working
directory is elsewhere) and does not fail.

Also, the image file referenced by KERNEL_OUTPUT may be a link.

Finally, when do_sizecheck deletes the oversized kernel image it leaves
the previously run do_compile task with inaccurate status.

So, do the following:
 - specify that the working directory should be ${B}
 - use ls -L to reference to the real file, and ensure that the link
   file is created
 - keep the oversized image file so the status of do_compile is valid

* During the base kernel_do_deploy function the directory is
  changed to DEPLOYDIR in order to do some cleanup and symlinking.
  However, the directory is not changed back to the original
  starting directory ${S} at the end.  For append functions this
  means that the starting directory is not ${S} as expected but
  instead ${DEPLOYDIR}.

  For functions like the do_deploy_append in
  recipes-kernel/linux/linux-dtb.inc there is an assumption that
  you are still in the source directory and not the DEPLOYDIR.
  Without this change the .dtb files are not copied because the
  check for the existence of ${DTS_FILE} which is a relative
  path from the ${S} directory fails.  This means that the .dtb
  files are not copied into the deploy directory and subsequently
  the deploy/images directory.

  In the log.do_deploy file you will see lines like:

    Warning: arch/arm/boot/dts/xxxxx.dts is not available!
