In order to build BSPs that were not already integrated into
the upstream linux yocto kernel AND keep the git fetcher happy,
some fairly complex anonymous python sections were required.
These sections cause problems with variable expansion and SRCREV
processing.
With the updated git fetcher code, we can streamline the BSP
boostrapping process and drop 99% of the anonymous python code.
This commit has the following changes to support BSP boot strapping
and simplication for existing BSPs.
- KMETA is set per-recipe rather than in python code
- undefined machines are no longer used, but instead common
branch names are set per-recipe
- fallback machine SRCREVs are present in the default revisions
file
- A new variable YOCTO_KERNEL_EXTERNAL_BRANCH should be set in
the local.conf for new BSPs instead of being programatically
determined in the anonymous python.
- No more explicity KMACHINE variable expansion and manipulation,
since the tools and build phases no longer require it due
to the per-recipe fallbacks.
Integrated/merged BSPs are unaffected by the changes and have been
regression tested.

The python code in this class file needs to run before SRCPV is expanded
and calls into the fetcher are made. To so this we create a python function
and prepend a call to it before SRCPV's get_srcrev() call.
Ugly, ugly, ugly but the ordering is guaranteed.
If this doesn't happen, the fetcher can end up in two different states and
there may be caching implications of this.

kernels
If we don't do this and try to bring up a new machine we can trigger network
access to resolve the branch name to a revision which is undesireable.

Fixes [BUGID #692]
Previously the information dumped by the kernel configuration audit
scripts was only placed in log files. This isn't as useful as it
could be, since they are rarely checked. This change takes the
output from kconf_check and explicitly displays it to the user.

By default the linux-yocto recipes operate on the current branch
and use it as a trigger to locate the description of a board. This
model works well when using the git repo outside of a build system
since the commands can be simply invoked and will do something
useful. However, it does mean that you can't have two BSPs that
differ only by configuration, building out of a single branch
in the repository.
This means that you must have many branches for very similar
BSPs. This model is still preferred, but having the choice of
branching strategies is better.
With this change we can have multiple BSPs using a single branch
with the preferred description being hinted from the build
system by passing the $machine value to updateme/configme.

The previous implementation of invalid commit ID checks would
error early when a bad object was detected. Rather than changing
to set +e for the entire routine, we'll capture the output and
do an explicit check for a bad object and throw a useful error
message when it is detected.

By setting BOOTSTRAP to the branch that should be used for a
currently undefined BSP a build can be completed and an
environment for streamlining the BSP created.
With the appropriate machine.conf, and a defconfig any MACHINE
can be built against and inherit the configuration of the
standard yocto kernel.

configme used to be able to calculate the output/build directory
when branches were always <machine>-<kernel type>. Branch names
can now be widely different and to avoid embedding complexity
in the scripts it is easier to just pass ${B} from the build system
down to the scripts.

BSPs are built from a particular branch of the kernel repository
which is specfied via the mapping of MACHINE to KMACHINE. Unless
a global branch is being forced (like libc headers), KMACHINE
is an override on a per machine basis.
Because KMACHINE is typically override we must first try the
most specific variant KMACHINE_<machine> and if that is undefined
look for a fallack default. This allows any combination of
variables to work (and at the time the anonymous python
executes) safely and get us a properly defined branch for the
fetcher and build.

The existing 2.6.34 kernel tree uses _ where poky typically
uses -. This is a historical artifact, since working with
gnu Make and shells means avoiding - is wise. The opposite
is true in Yocto.
To avoid using the _ reserved character wherever possible
we can simply remove it from the branch names in the
new 2.6.37 kernel, but to keep the content stable in the
0.9 2.6.34 kernel, we map _ to - for the purposes of
packaging.
To further faciliate this switch, the branch names no
longer need to be shortened in the KMACHINE mappings, but
can be fully specified and the tools/processing adapt as
required. This gives us the flexibility to map multiple
boards to a single branch for building.

In order to extend and create more kernel recipes based on the
supported yocto kernel common routines need to be placed in
re-usable blocks.
To accomplish this meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_git.bb
is broken into three parts:
- meta/classes/kernel-yocto.bbclass: contains common routines
for checking out and configuring a yocto kernel git repository.
This should be inherited by recipes that need this functionality.
- meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc: Contains the machine
mappings, compatibility, build directives and common task
definitions for a yocto kernel based recipe. This inherits
kernel-yocto, and is the typical point of entry for other recipes.
- meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linuux-tools.inc: tasks and function definitions
for kernel recipes that want to build/export perf
It also updates the linux-yocto recipe to default to 2.6.37.
As part of the update to 2.6.37 the branch naming and conventions
have been modified to show inheritance, and be more generic.
For example:
master
meta
yocto/base
yocto/standard/arm_versatile_926ejs
yocto/standard/base
yocto/standard/beagleboard
yocto/standard/common_pc/atom-pc
yocto/standard/common_pc/base
yocto/standard/common_pc_64
yocto/standard/fsl-mpc8315e-rdb
yocto/standard/intel_atom_z530
yocto/standard/intel_core_qm57_pch
yocto/standard/mti_malta32_be
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/base
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/common_pc
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/common_pc_64
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/intel_atom_z530
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/intel_core_qm57_pch
yocto/standard/qemu_ppc32
yocto/standard/routerstationpro
In this structure:
master: tracks the mainline kernel
meta: meta information for the BSPs and kernel features
yocto/base: baseline kernel branch
yocto/standard/base: 'standard' kernel, contains features
and configs for all BSPs
yocto/standard/<machine>: represents a BSP with specific
features or configurations
The tools, tree and libc-headers have all been updated to
deal with this new structure. Also in addition to dealing with
the new structure, they continue to work with the existing
tree and will adapt at runtime to the differences.
The linux-yocto-stable_git.bb recipe continues to build the
2.6.34 based tree,and linux-yocto_git.bb builds 2.6.37. As
boards are enabled for the new kernel they will move from
-stable to the development kernel. As of now, only the
emulated targets have moved to 2.6.37-rcX
