Chen Qi c570cf1733 bitbake: runqueue: fix PSI check calculation
The current PSI check calculation does not take into consideration
the possibility of the time interval between last check and current
check being much larger than 1s. In fact, the current behavior does
not match what the manual says about BB_PRESSURE_MAX_XXX, even if
the value is set to upper limit, 1000000, we still get many blocks
on new task launch. The difference between 'total' should be divided
by the time interval if it's larger than 1s.

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 https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:

git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.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. Git must be correctly configured, in particular the user.email and user.name values must be set.

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
