Unsquashed version at v2-rc-unsquashed, but that cannot be merged as it
breaks bisects at several points. All bugs will not bisect to this
humongous change.
It all started with a conversion of the Bash scripts to Python, mainly
because I couldn't stand not being able to properly use --options for
run which has a million options.
Then since that required a full testing, I decided to do all the
refactorings that I had in mind at once, and so I did and it became
v2-rc.
This is the largest patch I have ever done! OMG a few weeks of extra time.
I'm never writing a Bash script for anything that starts getting big again.
Some of the features are:
* separate build-qemu and build-gem5 commands
* common: convert scripts to python. Add --option for everything
* rename build to build-buildroot now that we are splitting all the build
commands, Linux kernel to follow
* move all git submodules to submodules/ and all buildroot packages to
packages/
* refactor the out/ structure. Keep projects on toplevel, because guest
projects separate archs and host ones don't, making a toplevel arch wrong
* do-release: rename to just release

* run: add --terminal and explain gem5 pdb
* just track the lvimrc
* store CLI kernel config fragment inside buildlroot to avoid conflicts
* gem5: document m5 initparam
* readme: make a bunch of things awesomer
* readme: fix broken refs
* parsec-benchmark: update to 75d55ac446a43c47efb1044844a108c6c330184c
Could not fetch otherwise.
* gem5: M5_OVERRIDE_PY_SOURCE
gem5 cache automate benchmarks, and remove results that were scattered all over.
Move console fun under linux kernel section, since not important enough
for getting started.
Set arch x86_64 by default through common on all scripts.
Document that X11 mouse is not moving.
Convert x='' to x= on all scripts, and also fix case ;; indentations.
Add dummy value to QEMU's -trace enable= to prevent warning.
Expand built-in package choice rationale.
Most of it was present inside buildroot/output.* and the rest scattered
on top level.
This came about for the n-th time when we were reviewing QEMU trace file
locations.
On one hand, it would be cool to have per arch traces.
This made buildroot/output.${arch}~/ a natural choice.
But on the other, those traces have nothing to do with Buildroot,
and could potentially interfere with Buildroot build files.
It also feels nicer to have buildroot/ pristine source code only,
and keep all output under a single directory out/
This is necessary because qemu and gem5 now use the same build folder.
Separate ./run -e and -f for kernel options before and after the ' - '.
This was already the better thing to do when -E was introduced,
but lkmc_nonet prompted me to do it nicer now.
Use the common script to find the out_dir on every toplevel script.
Include usage man pages on README.
