v3 cover Improve powerpc-utils with librtas

Many useful functions are missing from powerpc-utils when built by buildroot, because they depend on librtas which is not included.

This set adds the librtas package, a small patch to fix a problem with it's make install target, and tweaks the powerpc-utils config to include it. This makes the following additional programs available from powerpc-utils:

* uesensor
* set_poweron_time
* drmgr
* lsslot
* activate_firmware
* rtas_ibm_get_vpd
* serv_config
* rtas_event_decode
* sys_ident

Changes v2 -> v3:
Patch 2/2: powerpc-utils: optionally use librtas

Group "with" and "without" clauses.

Changes v1 -> v2:
Patch 1/2: librtas: new package

Remove redundant INSTALL_TARGET=yes.
Add patch description and patch signed-off-by.
Rename patch with correct prefix (0001-).

Patch 2/2: powerpc-utils: optionally use librtas

Make librtas support in powerpc-utils optional due to size concerns.

Sam Bobroff (2):
librtas: new package
powerpc-utils: optionally use librtas

Have you tested this package with uClibc-ng or musl ?

I tried to build with an experimental musl 1.1.6 based toolchain but it won't build (lot of build errors).

Then I tried to build with a uClibc-ng powerpc toolchain used in autobuilder [1] and powerpc-utils fail to build when librtas support is enabled.

src/drmgr/common.c:17:22: fatal error: execinfo.h No such file or directory.

But it build fine with a glibc based toolchain (build tested with the CS powerpc 2011.03 toolchain). For now, it's ok if librtas can be available on glibc toolchains.

Also, the package should depends on !BR2_STATIC_LIBS since librtas build unconditionally a shared library.

Otherwise, you patch looks ok.

Best regards,
Romain Naour

Applied after the following changes:

[Thomas:
- make the package depend on glibc, since it needs execinfo.h
- use TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS instead of defining manually CC and LD
- add hash file
- remove useless empty newline.

Now that librtas is available, optionally use it with powerpc-utils to enable it's RTAS dependant functionality. It is used by default, as most distros do, but made optional because it adds several new programs and significantly increases the size of the installed package.

v3 cover Improve powerpc-utils with librtas

Hi Sam,

Quoted 2 lines · Sam Bobroff

Thanks again for the reviews. I think I've addressed all of the issues. Is there anything else I need to do?

Just wait for the maintainers to review/apply your patches. The backlog of patches is visible at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/, and as you can see it is quite long. You may help shortening this list by reviewing other patches from that list. As the list shortens your contribution will be considered sooner.

Many useful functions are missing from powerpc-utils when built by buildroot, because they depend on librtas which is not included.
This set adds the librtas package, a small patch to fix a problem with it's make install target, and tweaks the powerpc-utils config to include it. This makes the following additional programs available from powerpc-utils:
* uesensor
* set_poweron_time
* drmgr
* lsslot
* activate_firmware
* rtas_ibm_get_vpd
* serv_config
* rtas_event_decode
* sys_ident
Changes v2 -> v3:
Patch 2/2: powerpc-utils: optionally use librtas
Group "with" and "without" clauses.
Changes v1 -> v2:
Patch 1/2: librtas: new package
Remove redundant INSTALL_TARGET=yes.
Add patch description and patch signed-off-by.
Rename patch with correct prefix (0001-).
Patch 2/2: powerpc-utils: optionally use librtas
Make librtas support in powerpc-utils optional due to size concerns.
