Add support for appended device tree blobs for arm
This patch adds support for the ARM-only appended device tree
mechanism present in the kernel.
This option allows to add at the end of the kernel image the
device tree blob so that we can still boot device tree enabled
kernels with old bootloaders.
This patch also adds the needed logic to genereate such an image
when building zImages or uImages, also adding the necessary parts
to rebuild the uImage.

Rework support for the device tree
This patch introduces some support for device tree-enabled kernels.
It replaces the former BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_FILE option that was
microblaze-only, that was quite limited. This option was quite
limited, first obviously because it was restricted to microblaze,
but also because it targetted only external device tree source files,
and allowed only to build simpleImages using the custom image name
mechanism.
This patch adds a much more generic one, that can work on basically
every architecture that supports device tree. It allows to build
both device tree source file that comes with the kernel source or to
set the path to the device tree file to use so that one can use a
custom device tree.

Make hard-float the default on Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9
Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 ARM cores are guaranteed to provide a hardware
floating point unit, so there's no reason to default to software
floating point for them.
More importantly, the newest Linaro toolchains are hard float
toolchains, so basically an user choosing those toolchains and leaving
the default option of software float would run in compilation issues.
So let's make hard float the default for Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9.
toolchain-external: adjust logic to support Linaro 2012.05
The check_glibc function verifies that the C library of the external
toolchain is glibc. To do so, it verified that a file matching
ld-linux*.so.* or ld.so.* was found in the lib/ directory of the
toolchain's sysroot. However, with the Linaro 2012.05 toolchain, the
lib/ directory contains two links named ld-linux-armhf.so.3 and
ld-linux.so.3, which means that the first ld-linux*.so.* wildcard
expression expands to two files, which generates a syntax error for
the "test" program. We replace that with a more elaborate find+wc
combination to determine whether at least one matching file is
present.
The check_arm_abi function verifies the ABI of an ARM toolchain. For
EABI, it tested that the target name ends with eabi. However, with
Linaro 2012.05, the tuple is now arm-linux-gnueabihf (for hard float),
so we have to adjust the logic to accept this additional "hf"
specification in the tuple.
toolchain-external: allow downloading a custom toolchain
This patch adds the possibility to download a custom external
toolchain, in addition to the existing support of preinstalled custom
external toolchains.
With the modified configuration, the user is presented with the
following options:
- Toolchain type: Buildroot toolchain | External toolchain | Ct-ng toolchain
In case of External toolchain:
- Toolchain: the CodeSourcery toolchains | Custom toolchain
- Toolchain origin: Toolchain to be downloaded and installed | Pre-installed toolchain
In case of Toolchain to be downloaded, the user is presented with:
- Toolchain URL
In case of Pre-installed toolchain, the users sees:
- Toolchain Path
For CodeSourcery toolchains, the toolchain URL field is not used (the
URLs are directly coded in ext-tool.mk).
pkg-download.mk: support detection of URI schemes in DOWNLOAD
When using one of the package infrastructures, the DOWNLOAD function
uses $(PKG)_SITE_METHOD to determine the appropriate download method,
which is autodetected based on the URI if none was explicitly set.
When the DOWNLOAD function is called directly, for example when
downloading a toolchain, or from a package that does not use one of
the package infrastructures, the SITE_METHOD is not autodetected,
and thus the download defaults to wget.
This patch adds URI scheme detection directly to the DOWNLOAD method,
in case no SITE_METHOD was detected yet.
pkg-download.mk: allow using localfiles outside of package infrastructure
The localfiles download method uses $($(PKG)_SITE))) and
$($(PKG)_SOURCE) instead of $(1) and $(2). This means that it can only
be used for package downloads (through gentargets, autotargets, ...)
and not for other downloads like external toolchains.
This patch changes localfiles to allow this, just as the wget and scp
download methods already did.
For the version control download methods, nothing changes.
