7448f7a2d5 config: Enable ext4 journaling by default.
Not having a journal by default is a major "gotcha".

Because openwrt does not fsck on boot, a power loss without journaling
can result in a dirty filesystem that openwrt will mount as read-only
which requires intervention to restore the router to working order.

build: use 128MiB as the boot/kernel partition size on armvirt target
The nominal partition type for EFI boot partitions is FAT32,
which has a minimum size of 32MiB on a 512-byte-sector block device.

To ensure that the boot partition is created as FAT32 set a size
well above this minimum.

A useful discussion about EFI partition sizes can be found here:
https://superuser.com/questions/1310927/what-is-the-absolute-minimum-size-a-uefi-system-partition-can-be

I have found 128MiB works pretty consistently across both
tools (mkfs.fat) and firmwares (EDKII)

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.

330bd380e8 image: allow building FIT and uImage with ramdisk
Instead of embedding the initrd cpio archive into the kernel, allow
for having an external ramdisk added to the FIT or uImage.
This is useful to overcome kernel size limitations present in many
stock bootloaders, as the ramdisk is then loaded seperately and doesn't
add to the kernel size. Hence we can have larger ramdisks to host ie.
installers with all binaries to flash included (or a web-based
firmware selector).
In terms of performance and total size the differences are neglectible.

94198e2a1c rb532: drop target
This target is still on kernel 4.14, and recent attempts to move it to
kernel 5.4 have not led to success. The device tester reported that it
wouldn't boot with the following messages:

From sysupgrade:

  Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup....
  loading kernel from nand... OK
  setting up elf image... OK
  jumping to kernel code

At this point the system hangs.

From CompactFlash:

  Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup....
  Booting CF
  Loading kernel... done
  setting up elf image... kernel out of range kernel loading failed

The tester reported that the same was observed with current master
(kernel 4.14) as well. This looks like some kernel size restriction.

Since this target is quite old and only supports one device, and since
nobody else seemed interested in working on this for quite some time,
I decided to not put further work into analyzing the problem and drop
this together with the other 4.14-only targets.

b7a8a54542 ath79: add support for MikroTik RouterBOARD 493G (rb4xx series)
This patch adds support for the MikroTik RouterBOARD RB493G, ported
from the ar71xx target.

See https://routerboard.com/RB493G for details

Specification:
- SoC Qualcomm Atheros AR7161
- RAM: 256 MiB
- Storage: 128MiB NAND
- Ethernet: 9x 1000/100/10 Mbps
- USB 1x 2.0 / 1.0 type A
- PCIe: 3x Mini slot
- MicroSD slot

Working:
- Board/system detection
- Ethernet
- SPI
- NAND
- LEDs
- USB
- Sysupgrade

Enabled (but untested due to lack of hardware):
- PCIe - ath79_pci_irq struct has the slot/pin/IRQ mappings if needed

Installation methods:
- tftp boot initramfs image, scp then flash via "sysupgrade -n"
- nand boot existing OpenWrt, scp then flash via "sysupgrade -n"

Notes:
- initramfs image will not work if uncompressed image size over ~8.5Mb
- The "rb4xx" drivers have been enabled

a6b7c3e672 x86: generate EFI platform bootable images
Add EFI platform bootable images for x86 platforms. These images can
also boot from legacy BIOS platform.

EFI System Partition need to be fat12/fat16/fat32 (not need to load
filesystem drivers), so the first partition of EFI images are not ext4
filesystem any more.

GPT partition table has an alternate partition table, we did not
generate it. This may cause problems when use these images as qemu disk
(kernel can not find rootfs), we pad enough sectors will be ok.

cb007a7bf6 x86: switch image generation to new code
This commit introduces few related changes which need to be done in
single commit to keep images buildable between git revisions. In result
it retains all previous image creation possibilities with slight name
change of generated images. Brief summary of the commit:

* Split up image generation recipe to smaller chunks to make it more
  generic and reusable.

* Make iso images x86 specific and drop their definition as root
  filesystem.

* Convert image creation process to generic code specified in image.mk.

* Make geode subtarget inherit features from the main target instead of
  redefining them.

* For subtargets create device definitions with basic packages set.

7d7aa2fd92 brcm2708: rename target to bcm27xx
This change makes the names of Broadcom targets consistent by using
the common notation based on SoC/CPU ID (which is used internally
anyway), bcmXXXX instead of brcmXXXX.
This is even used for target TITLE in make menuconfig already,
only the short target name used brcm so far.

Despite, since subtargets range from bcm2708 to bcm2711, it seems
appropriate to use bcm27xx instead of bcm2708 (again, as already done
for BOARDNAME).

This also renames the packages brcm2708-userland and brcm2708-gpu-fw.

d03ef97c1b build: remove TARGET_IMAGES_PAD option
It's being used only in x86 target to produce combined images, where
it's mandatory to have padded images in order to produce working
squashfs combined images usable in QEMU.

Currently we're producing unusable x86 combined squashfs images
(18.06.1, 18.06.2 and snapshots) as we don't enable TARGET_IMAGES_PAD,
thus providing very small space for the overlay filesystem, leading to
the following with OpenWrt 18.06.1 r7258-5eb055306f images on x86 QEMU:

 root@(none):/# mount | egrep 'root|overlay'
  /dev/root on /rom type squashfs
  /dev/loop0 on /overlay type ext4
  overlayfs:/overlay on / type overlay

 root@(none):/# df -h | egrep 'root|overlay|Size'
  Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
  /dev/root                 2.5M      2.5M         0 100% /rom
  /dev/loop0              113.0K      8.0K     97.0K   8% /overlay
  overlayfs:/overlay      113.0K      8.0K     97.0K   8% /

So we should rather ensure proper image padding in image generation code
and we shouldn't rely on config options in order to generate usable
images.

5cd49395d3 lantiq/xrx200: enable initramfs images
Commit eae6cac6a3 ("lantiq: add support for AVM FRITZ!Box 7362 SL"), but
one needs an initramfs image to flash OpenWrt from stock firmware (as
described in the commit log). This patch has the initramfs image built
by default.

Thanks to blogic (for pointing to the FEATURES declaration in the target
Makefiles) and Musashino on the forum for suggesting
config/Config-images.in needed editing too. While at it, reorder the
TARGET_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA declarations alphabetically.

This patch will result in initramfs images for all lantiq subtargets
that have the ramdisk flag set. I tested on the falcon and ase
subtargets, which lack that flag, to confirm they don't produce any
initramfs images with this patch - which they do not.

Given the limited scope of the lantiq (sub)target(s), blogic indicated
this should be OK.

Since the rootfs is squashfs anyway, allow deselecting of the ext4fs
one.

Sort the target list alphabetically while here.

11d6547455 config: extend small_flash feature
Extend the small_flash feature to disable swap, core dumps, and
kernel debug info, and change the squashfs block size to 1024KiB.

Also change squashfs fragment cache to 2 for small_flash to ease memory
usage.

fce35bce0f config: support new symbol intro'd in kernel 4.12
Symbol CONFIG_INITRAMFS_FORCE allows to ignore the value passed by the
bootloader.

By default, all symbols containing INITRAMFS are wiped from the final
config and then re-added conditionally.

Add support for this symbol, as the build will stop otherwise
questioning the user about this option:

* Restart config...
*
*
* General setup
*
Cross-compiler tool prefix (CROSS_COMPILE) []
Compile also drivers which will not load (COMPILE_TEST) [N/y/?] n

...

Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support
(BLK_DEV_INITRD) [Y/n/?] y
Initramfs source file(s) (INITRAMFS_SOURCE) []
Ignore the initramfs passed by the bootloader (INITRAMFS_FORCE)
[N/y/?] (NEW)

There is lots of padding between the boot partition and the rootfs, so
gzipping is helpful here

On the more sophisticated (i.e. deeper FIFO) serial controllers,
flow-control might be needed to avoid dropping output.
