buildman: properly translate strings for log and err files to ASCII

2017-06-09T19:45:34+00:00

The build output can still produce unicode encoded output. But in
the buildman's log and err files we only want plain ASCII characters.

To handle all situations with unicode and non-unicode output, encode
the stdout and stderr strings to UTF-8 and afterwards to ASCII with
replacing all special characters.

buildman: Translate more strings to latin-1

2017-04-14T16:21:48+00:00

When writing out some of our results we may now have UTF-8 characters
in there as well.  Translate these to latin-1 and ignore any errors (as
this is for diagnostic and given the githash anything else can be
reconstructed by the user.

buildman: Rename do_build to config_only

2016-12-03T03:53:18+00:00

This variable name is needlessly confusion. Adjust it to use a 'positive'
name instead.

buildman: Add an option to just create the config

2016-12-02T17:37:47+00:00

Normally buildman does a full build of a board. This includes creating the
u-boot.cfg file which contains all the configuration options. Buildman uses
this file with the -K option, to show differences in effective configuration
for each commit.

Doing a full build of U-Boot just to create the u-boot.cfg file is wasteful.
Add a -D option which causes buildman to only create the configuration. This
is enough to support use of -K and can be done much more quickly (typically
5-10 times faster).

buildman: Drop the 'alive' flag in BuilderThread

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

This is not used, so drop it.

buildman: Drop the 'active' flag in the builder

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

This serves no real purpose, since when we are not active, we exit. Drop it.

buildman: allow more incremental building

2016-05-17T15:54:43+00:00

One use-case for buildman is to continually run it interactively after
each small step in a large refactoring operation. This gives more
immediate feedback than making a number of commits and then going back and
testing them. For this to work well, buildman needs to be extremely fast.
At present, a couple issues prevent it being as fast as it could be:

1) Each time buildman runs "make %_defconfig", it runs "make mrproper"
first. This throws away all previous build results, requiring a
from-scratch build. Optionally avoiding this would speed up the build, at
the cost of potentially causing or missing some build issues.

2) A build tree is created per thread rather than per board. When a thread
switches between building different boards, this often causes many files
to be rebuilt due to changing config options. Using a separate build tree
for each board would avoid this. This does put more strain on the system's
disk cache, but it is worth it on my system at least.

This commit adds two command-line options to implement the changes
described above; -I ("--incremental") turns of "make mrproper" and -P
("--per-board-out-dir") creats a build directory per board rather than per
thread.

Tested:

    ./tools/buildman/buildman.py tegra
    ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -I -P tegra
    ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev tegra
    ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev -I -P tegra

... each once after deleting the buildman result/work directory, and once
"incrementally" after a previous identical invocation.

builderthread.py: Keep 'SPL'

On i.MX platforms the SPL binary is called "SPL" so make sure we keep
that.

buildman: Make -V (verbose_build) really be verbose

2015-04-18T22:24:25+00:00

The help text for -V says we will pass V=1 but all it really did was not
pass in -s.  Change the logic to pass make V=1 with given to buildman -V or
-s to make otherwise.
