Robert Yang 5bfb7594c4 bitbake: data_smart: Improve performance for VariableHistory
Fixed:
- BBMULTICONFIG = "qemux86-64 qemuarm64" and more than 70 layers in BBLAYERS
$ bitbake -p -P
Check profile.log.processed, the record() cost more than 20 seconds, it is less
than 1 second when multiconfig is not enabled, and there would be the following
error when more muticonfigs are enabled:

Timeout while waiting for a reply from the bitbake server

Don't change the type of loginfo['detail'] or re-assign it can make record()
back to less than 1 second, this won't affect COW since loginfo is a mutable
type.

The time mainly affected by two factors:
1) The number of enabled layers, nearly 1 second added per layer when the
   number is larger than 50.

2) The global var such as USER_CLASSES, about 1 ~ 2 seconds added per layer
   when the layers number is larger than 50.

Bitbake

BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.

For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: https://www.openembedded.org/

Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: https://docs.yoctoproject.org

Bitbake requires Python version 3.8 or newer.

Contributing

Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.

As a quick guide, patches should be sent to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org The git command to do that would be:

git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org

If you're sending a patch related to the BitBake manual, make sure you copy the Yocto Project documentation mailing list:

git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org --cc docs@lists.yoctoproject.org

Testing

Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions. You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.

To run the tests "zstd" and "git" must be installed.

The assumption is made that this testsuite is run from an initialized OpenEmbedded build environment (i.e. source oe-init-build-env is used). If this is not the case, run the testsuite as follows:

export PATH=$(pwd)/bin:$PATH
bin/bitbake-selftest

The testsuite can alternatively be executed using pytest, e.g. obtained from PyPI (in this case, the PATH is configured automatically):

pytest
