Without this patch it happens that do_populate_recipe_sysroot is called
just before do_compile (on multi core build machines).
This is way too late as the .config generated in do_kernel_configme()
is already broken.
The problem is that do_kernel_configme() calls native's merge_config.sh
script which may call bison and arm-linux-*-gcc to compile kconfig
infrastructure to create base .config
(scripts/kconfig/conf --allnoconfig Kconfig.)
It turns out that we only got above binaries after do_prepare_recipe_sysroot()
is called.
If those binaries are not available, the merge_config.sh do not generate
base .config and without any error produces malfunctioned .config.
The build process continues and as a result broken kernel is compiled.
To reproduce:
bitbake -c cleansstate virtual/kernel
bitbake -c kernel_metadata -v virtual/kernel
bitbake -c do_kernel_configme -v virtual/kernel
(one shall see broken .config in ${B}/.config)
bitbake -c do_populate_sysroot -v virtual/kernel
bitbake -c do_compile -v virtual/kernel
I already have a queue of changes for the 4.18 kernel that has a
similar tweak.
I'll double check the use case above, and if it isn't already
fixed, I'll add this to my queue.
