imagebuilder: fix bundling of DTS sources

2017-05-16T15:38:33+00:00

Refer to LINUX_KARCH instead of ARCH when bundling DTS files in the image
builder tarball.

While we're at it, also dereference symbolic links when copying as some
kernel architectures contain symbolic links in their DTS directories.

This fixes aarch64 imagebuilders such as brcm2708/bcm2710 ones in particular
as the kernel refers to "aarch64" as "arm64" internally.

build: rework library bundling

2017-01-10T11:27:28+00:00

Rework the bundle-libraries.sh implementation to use a more robust approach
for executing host binaries through the shipped ELF loader and libraries.

The previous approach relied on symlinks pointing to a wrapper script which
caused various issues, especially with multicall binaries as the original
argv[0] name was not preserved through the ld.so invocation. Another down-
side was the fact that the actual binaries got moved into another directory
which caused executables to fail looking up resources with paths relative
to the executable location.

The new library wrapper implements the following improvements:

 - Instead of symlinks pointing to a common wrapper, each ELF executable
   is now replaced by a unqiue shell script which retains the original
   program name getting called

 - Instead of letting ld.so invoke the ELF executable directly, launch
   the final ELF binary through a helper program which fixes up the argv[0]
   argument for the target program

 - Support sharing a common location for the bundled libraries instead of
   having one copy in each directory containing wrapped binaries

Finally modify the SDK build to wrap the staging_dir and toolchain binaries
which allows to use the SDK on systems with a different glibc version.

target/{sdk,imagebuild}: Fix for symlink-tree

2016-09-29T22:39:25+00:00

With symlink tree some directories are just symlinked which
means IB and SDK end up with a symlink instead of an actual
directory; this fixes the missing files by dereferencesing
the directories instead of copying the symlinks.

imagebuilder: use correct package directory when bundling kmods and libc

2016-04-22T10:22:57+00:00

The libc and kernel package files moved since the introduction of shared
packages and the changed output directory layout. This causes the generated
ImageBuilder archive to lack the necessary "libc" and "kernel" meta packages,
leading to opkg install errors later on.

Use the FeedPackageDir macro to figure out the proper source directory to use.
