1deeaefe37 Fix makefile include order by using sort/wildcard.
The 'include' directive in GNU make supports wildcards, but their
expansion has no defined sort order (GLOB_NOSORT is passed to glob()).
Usually this doesn't matter. However, there is at least one case where
it does make a difference: toolchain/*/*.mk includes both the
definitions of the external toolchain packages and
pkg-toolchain-external.mk, but pkg-toolchain-external.mk must be
included first.

For predictability, use ordered 'include $(sort $(wildcard ...))'
instead of unordered direct 'include */*.mk' everywhere.

Fixes [1] reported by Petr Vorel:

  make: *** No rule to make target 'toolchain-external-custom', needed by '.../build/toolchain-external/.stamp_configured'.  Stop.

7952623621 core/reproducible: do not override SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is currently forcibly set (to either the git commit
date, or the last release date).

However, the spec mandates that it should not be modified if already
set: https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/

    Build systems MUST NOT overwrite this variable for child
    processes to consume if it is already present.

Abide by the rule, and only set it if not already set.

This will allow users to pass it from an upper-layer buildsystem (e.g. a
jenkins or gitlab-ci job, for example), when they have a reson to do so.

90605b8fe7 Makefile: move SED definition into the main Makefile
Since commit f71a621d91, we are using the
SED variable in the main Makefile. However, this variable is only
defined in package/Makefile.in, which gets included only when a
configuration is defined.

This means that, if you do:

 $ make menuconfig savedefconfig

without a configuration defined, it fails with:

/bin/bash: /BR2_DEFCONFIG=/d: No such file or directory
Makefile:898: recipe for target 'savedefconfig' failed
make[1]: *** [savedefconfig] Error 127

This issue affects users of the "buildroot-submodule" project, which
does menuconfig+savedefconfig automatically. They worked around this
issue in commit
d12676b608,
but really "make menuconfig savedefconfig" should work out of the box.

6caa76db22 Makefile: drop redundant shell call when deriving BASE_DIR
Commit 173135df5b ("core: re-enter make if
$(CURDIR) or $(O) are not canonical paths") introduced the CANONICAL_O
variable, defined as:

CANONICAL_O := $(shell mkdir -p $(O) >/dev/null 2>&1)$(realpath $(O))

This duplicates the definition of BASE_DIR, by different means:

BASE_DIR := $(shell mkdir -p $(O) && cd $(O) >/dev/null && pwd)

So one of these shell calls is redundant. CANONICAL_O is defined first,
so this commit replaces the BASE_DIR derivation with $(CANONICAL_O).

5b7013c4ae Makefile: fix ignored trace at target-finalize
Make may throw an error (but ignored) trace when cleaning up the
rootfs.

The target-finalize rule intends to remove the folder
`$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share' but this directory may still contain items
(such as the `udhcpc' helper script) and causes the rmdir to fail.

The stderr output is redirected to /dev/null but it returns and error
which is escaped by the leading `-'; but make reports an ignored-error.

See the log below:
$ make
(...)
rm -rf (...)/target/usr/share/gtk-doc
rmdir (...)/target/usr/share
rmdir: failed to remove '(...)/target/usr/share': Directory not empty
make[1]: [Makefile:650: target-finalize] Error 1 (ignored)

This patch apply the same rule at the instruction immediately after:
* redirecting stderr to /dev/null (already done) and
* executing true if the `rmdir' instruction fails.

9b91b21dae Makefile: add '-n' to gzip invocations to improve reproducibility
Default invocation to gzip include timestamp in output file. This feature is
incompatible with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE. It is possible to disable it with '-n'.

The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default options for gzip. So
instead to find all gzip invocation in build process, we just export 'GZIP=-n'.

Notice bzip2, lzma and xz are not impacted by this problem. On the other hand, lzop
does include timestamp and does not provide any way to disable it.

5e3f89666b core: don't reset MAKEOVERRIDES when re-entering make
We reset MAKEOVERRIDES to avoid passing down variables that are
overridden on the command line to the package build systems. Indeed,
the variables overridden on the command line will be Buildroot
variables and not relevant to the package build system. In particular
the O option is used by some packages and the value passed in on the
command line is plain wrong for the individual package.

However, in commit 916e614b, MAKEOVERRIDES was moved earlier and it
was reset _before_ re-entering make in the cases when something has
to be fixed up (incorrect umask, non-absolute paths in O or CURDIR).
Therefore, if make is re-entered, any command line overrides are lost.

This particularly bites the autobuilders, because they use
O=<relative path> to specify the output directory, and they add
BR2_JLEVEL=... to avoid starting too many jobs in parallel. The
BR2_JLEVEL override is lost.

Finding the packages that select another one in a specific configuration

  - when optional, the dependency is not expressed in Kconfig

  - looking at the .mk files is not very nice.

Introduce a way to dump reverse dependencies of packages, i.e. the list
of packages that directly depend on that package. Like for direct
dependencies, we limit the list to the first-order reverse dependencies.

Document it in the main help; use the opportunity to also document
foo-show-depends.

173135df5b core: re-enter make if $(CURDIR) or $(O) are not canonical paths
When $(CURDIR) and/or $(O) contain symlinks in their paths, they can be
resolved differently, depending on each package build-system (whether it
uses the given paths or get the absolute canonical ones).

Using absolute canonical paths will help achieving reproducible builds and
will make easier tracking down host machine paths leaking into the host,
target or staging trees.
So, this change ensures the build takes place with the CURDIR and O
variables are set to their absolute canonical paths.

In order to recall the toplevel makefile with absolute canonical paths
for $(CURDIR) and $(O), we need to:
1- Compute the absolute canonical paths for $(CURDIR) and $(O) that will
   be passed to the sub-make. This is achieved using the 'realpath' make
   primitive. However, some care must be taken when manipulating O:
   - the out-of-tree makefile wrapper happens a trailing "/.", we need
     to strip this part away to not break the comparison driving the
     sub-make call;
   - the user can leave a trailing '/' to $(O);
   - according to [1,2], realpath returns an empty string in case of
     non-existing entry. So, to avoid passing an empty O= variable to
     sub-make, it is necessary to define the output directory and create
     it prior to call realpath on it (because on the first invocation,
     $(O) usually does not yet exists), hence the trick doing the mkdir
     right before calling realpath.
2- Update EXTRAMAKEARGS with the absolute canonical $(O) and use it
   when call recalling the top-level makefile with umask and paths
   correctly set.
3- Lastly, update the condition for setting the CONFIG_DIR and
   NEED_WRAPPER variables.

Note:
* This change takes care of the makefile wrapper installed in $(O) to
  avoid unneeded make recursion.

does not change anything on the buildroot behavior.

This change also renames the variable UMASK to REQ_UMASK.

0b1b2c47ba core: split variables definition related to in/out-of-tree build from O itself
This change uncorrolates the CONFIG_DIR and NEED_WRAPPER definition from
the presence of the O variable in the command line.

Now, the condition used to set these variables is the value of O itself.

This change is a preparatory work since the O definition will need to
be moved around when we will make Buildroot run with absolute canonical
paths for both its root directory and the output location.
This will be addressed in a follow-up patch.

339e1c9500 core: allow a br2-external tree to override a defconfig
Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.

However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:

  - the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
    build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
    "better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");

  - similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.

But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.

Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.

Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

20cd497387 core: add support for multiple br2-external trees
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.
