70543aafb2 base-files: reduce number of mkdir calls
The `mkdir` commands supports passing multiple arguments to batch create
multiple folders, instead of calling the tool every single time.

If the creation of one of the folders fails, all other folder are still
created and therefore doesn't change the error handling.

Also stop creating `/etc/` explicitly after subfolders of `/etc/` were
already created.

669d920e27 base-files: fix option to make /var persistent
The option was initially named TARGET_ROOTFS_LN_VAR_TMP, and the check
was correct. When renaming the option to something more suitable, the
check was changed to check for n, but when an option is not set, it's
not n but empty. This results in the check always evaluating to false.
Fix the check by checking for y with ifneq.

57807f50de base-files: add option to make /var persistent
In OpenWrt, /var is symlinked to /tmp by default. This is done to reduce
the amount of writes to the flash chip, which often have not the
greatest durability. As a result, things like DHCP or UPnP lease files,
are not persistent across reboots.

Since OpenWrt can run on devices with more durable storage, it makes
sense to have an option for a persistent /var. Add an option to make
/var persistent. When enabled, /var will no longer be symlinked to /tmp,
but /var/run will be symlink to /tmp/run, as it should contains only
files that should not be kept during reboot. The option is off by
default, to maintain the current behaviour.

base-files: rename 'sdcard' to 'legacy-sdcard'
While an image layout based on MBR and 'bootfs' partition may be easy
to understand for users who are very used to the IBM PC and always have
the option to access the SD card outside of the device (and hence don't
really depend on other recovery methods or dual-boot), in my opinion
it's a dead end for many desirable features on embedded systems,
especially when managed remotely (and hence without an easy option to
access the SD card using another device in case things go wrong, for
example).

Let me explain:

* using a MSDOS/VFAT filesystem to store kernel(s) is problematic, as a
  single corruption of the bootfs can render the system into a state
  that it no longer boots at all. This makes dual-boot useless, or at
  least very tedious to setup with then 2 independent boot partitions
  to avoid the single point of failure on a "hot" block (the FAT index
  of the boot partition, written every time a file is changed in
  bootfs). And well: most targets even store the bootloader environment
  in a file in that very same FAT filesystem, hence it cannot be used
  to script a reliable dual-boot method (as loading the environment
  itself will already fail if the filesystem is corrupted).

* loading the kernel uImage from bootfs and using rootfs inside an
  additional partition means the bootloader can only validate the
  kernel -- if rootfs is broken or corrupted, this can lead to a reboot
  loop, which is often a quite costly thing to happen in terms of
  hardware lifetime.

* imitating MBR-boot behavior with a FAT-formatted bootfs partition
  (like IBM PC in the 80s and 90s) is just one of many choices on
  embedded targets. There are much better options with modern U-Boot
  (which is what we use and build from source for all targets booting
  off SD cards), see examples in mediatek/mt7622 and mediatek/mt7623.

Hence rename the 'sdcard' feature to 'legacy-sdcard', and prefix
functions with 'legacy_sdcard_' instead of 'sdcard_'.

b82cc80713 base-files: wifi: swap the order of some ubus calls
"/sbin/wifi up" makes three ubus calls:
1. ubus call network reload
2. ubus call network.wireless down
3. ubus call network.wireless up

The first and third ubus calls call drv_mac80211_setup,
while the second ubus call triggers wireless_device_setup_cancel,
so the call sequence becomes,

1. drv_mac80211_setup
2. wireless_device_setup_cancel
3. drv_mac80211_setup

This commit swaps the order of the first two ubus calls,
1. ubus call network.wireless down
2. ubus call network reload
3. ubus call network.wireless up

Consequently drv_mac80211_setup is only called once,
and two related bugs (#FS3784 and #FS3902) are no longer triggered
by /sbin/wifi.

cc7316d1e9 base-files: fix enabled for services with only STOP
There are services that have only STOP value set. They are executed only
on shutdown and it is common to use them for system cleanup. There is
one such service shipped directly with base-files, it is 'umount'. Those
work the same way as those with START but enabled does not report them
as enabled although it should have as they can be enabled and disabled
as any other service.

This also changes check from check for executable to check for symbolic
link. The implementation depends on those being links to service file
and it is much cleaner and direct to check for them being links.

b118aba8cb base-files: upgrade: use procd to kill managed daemons
These processes are managed by procd and set to start again when killed
via the procd instance parameter "respawn" being set during init.

Example:
procd_set_param respawn 3600 1 0

When they are killed manually during sysupgrade,
they are started again in 5 seconds or less, depending on
how the "respawn" parameter is set.

Use procd through ubus to disable the instances that respawn them,
however, allow dnsmasq, netifd, and logd to restart for remote logging.

Properly closing all these processes increases free memory by about 3 MB,
which should help low memory devices upgrade without crashing.

For very low memory devices (set to 32 MB for now)
also kill dnsmasq, netifd, and logd for an additional 3 MB of free memory.

Also, bump sleep values to allow at least 10 seconds
for network interfaces and daemons
to come up after they are killed and restarted
before caches are dropped.

Before this commit, it was assumed that mkhash is in the PATH. While
this was fine for the normal build workflow, this led to some issues if

    make: Entering directory '/home/.../package/gluon-status-page'
    bash: line 1: mkhash: command not found
    bash: line 1: mkhash: command not found

    [...]

While these were only warnings and the package still compiled sucessfully,
I also observed that some package even fail to build because of this.

After applying this commit, the variable $(MKHASH) is introduced. This
variable points to $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/mkhash, which is always the
correct path.

The presents a problem during sysupgrade as the root device is then
still busy and changing partitions will not work as desired,
leading to data corruption in case the newly flashed image is larger

Having loop devices setup causes similar havoc.

85b1f4d8ca treewide: remove execute bit and shebang from board.d files
So far, board.d files were having execute bit set and contained a
shebang. However, they are just sourced in board_detect, with an
apparantly unnecessary check for execute permission beforehand.

Replace this check by one for existance and make the board.d files

dec14ac436 base-files: add new application led trigger backend
For now we have only kernel LED trigger support. With this change it is now
possible to use application triggers.

If we configure a LED with a non kernel trigger, then we check on every
restart and boot of the LED service if we have this trigger as an application
in "/usr/libexec/led-trigger". If this file with the name is found, then we
execute this to init the LED.

Possible use cases are:

- Start/Stop/Restart an application led trigger service for this led
- Init a LED that is configured by a hotplug script (VPN tunnel established)

84a339f015 base-files: add support for restoring config from tmpfs
Instead of only relying in /sysupgrade.tgz being present in rootfs to
restore configuration, also grab /tmp/sysupgrade.tar which may have
magically gotten there during preinit...

5c10f26c28 sysupgrade-nand: allow limiting rootfs_data by setting env variable
Check if firmware environment variable 'rootfs_data_max' exists and is
set to a numerical value greater than 0. If so, limit rootfs_data
volume to that size instead of using the maximum available size.

This is useful on devices with lots of flash where users may want to
have eg. a volume for persistent logs and statistics or for external
applications/containers. Persistence on rootfs overlay is limited by
the size of memory available during the sysugprade process as that
data needs to be copied to RAM while the volume is being recreated
during sysupgrade. Hence it is unsuitable for keeping larger amounts
of data accross upgrade which makes additional volume(s) for
application data desirable.

e6aac8d98f image: add support for building FIT image with filesystem
Allow for single (external-data) FIT image to hold kernel, dtb and
squashfs. In that way, the bootloader verifies the system integrity
including the rootfs, because what's the point of checking that the
hash of the kernel is correct if it won't boot in case of squashfs
being corrupted? Better allow bootloader to check everything needed
to make it at least up to failsafe mode. As a positive side effect
this change also makes the sysupgrade process on nand potentially
much easier as it is now.
In short: mkimage has a parameter '-E' which allows generating FIT
images with 'external' data rather than embedding the data into the
device-tree blob itself. In this way, the FIT structure itself remains
small and can be parsed easily (rather than having to page around
megabytes of image content). This patch makes use of that and adds
support for adding sub-images of type 'filesystem' which are used to
store the squashfs. Now U-Boot can verify the whole OS and the new
partition parsers added in the Linux kernel can detect the filesystem
sub-images, create partitions for them, and select the active rootfs
volume based on the configuration in FIT (passing configuration via
device tree could be implemented easily at a later stage).

This new FIT partition parser works for NOR flash (on top of mtdblock),
NAND flash (on top of ubiblock) as well as classic block devices
(ie. eMMC, SDcard, SATA, NVME, ...).
It could even be used to mount such FIT images via `losetup -P` on a
user PC if this patch gets included in Linux upstream one day ;)

157cd0bd97 base-files: use hwclock --systz
The date -k patch is non standard and will be removed in the next
commit.

Tested behavior to be identical with a simple C program:

 #define _GNU_SOURCE
 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <sys/time.h>
 #include <sys/syscall.h>

int main()
{
        struct timezone tt;
	struct timezone tz;

        int a = syscall(SYS_gettimeofday, NULL, &tt);
        int b = gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);
        printf("%d - %d, %d\n", a, tt.tz_minuteswest, tt.tz_dsttime);
        printf("%d - %d, %d\n", b, tz.tz_minuteswest, tz.tz_dsttime);
}
