Note that this is a part of a larger series. The other patches are
against meta-yocto, but the busybox change seemed more appropriate here
than in a bbappend in meta-yocto.
At some point poky-tiny may need to come into oe-core, until then...

Note I'm not arguing for it one way or the other. I could see people
wanting it to come in with linux-yocto-tiny already in oe-core. Or, it
might make more sense to move linux-yocto-tiny to meta-yocto and just
keep it all contained in meta-yocto. That's fine with me too.

Enabling cttyhack and setsid could be a good thing in general
(thinking of initramfs kind of images) so I would propose to enable it
by default
and not introduce another distro knob here. How much does busybox code
size grow which these two features turned on.?
otherwise second best thing is to keep it in poky-tiny distro layer
which wants to set the policy

So this struck me as strange, but I did it twice to make sure I didn't
mess something up:
BEFORE
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 dvhart dvhart 2799417 2012-06-15 15:06 busybox
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 dvhart dvhart 547872 2012-06-15 15:06 busybox_stripped
AFTER (w/ SETSID and CTTYHACK)
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 dvhart dvhart 2805195 2012-06-15 14:45 busybox
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 dvhart dvhart 547872 2012-06-15 15:05 busybox_stripped
DELTA
busybox: 5778
busybox_stripped: 0
The difference is <6k for the unstripped binary, and 0 bytes for the
stripped binary. It must have something to do with the way busybox
builds and enables features. The above was using my host strip
command. I also tried building the rootfs with and without these
features and comparing the cross-stripped binaries in the rootfs,
delta is also 0 bytes.
So the cost is "negligible" and there is a clear advantage to having
these two options enabled. I'll resend with a two line change to the
defconfig to enable them.

Sorry, I hit the menuconfig/sstate bug. There is a 2560 byte
difference for including these two features. Seems reasonable to me. A
new patch has been sent to the list.

What exactly is the mission of the "tiny" DISTRO_FEATURE? It doesn't
seem very wholesome for it to be enabling a random grab-bag of bits in
busybox (or anywhere else).
If poky-tiny wants those features enabled then it can, and should, ship
its own configuration for busybox which turns them on. I think that
would be better than further proliferation of switches in oe-core.

The idea is to avoid having to bbappend busybox and other recipes
basically. I can see how "tiny" is different than "ipv4" as it isn't
explicit it what it enables, making it a "grab-bag" as you put it.
I could come up with a term that describes systems without complex init
systems that need to be able to setup their own shells easily.
Another approach would be to just consider these two features and decide
if they shouldn't just be part of the oe-core busybox defconfig anyway.
I don't see why setsid shouldn't be. I can see arguments against
cttyhack (as it is a hack), but I wouldn't think either should be a huge
deal to just include. I thought the DISTRO_FEATURE was a reasonable
compromise between that and having to maintain a bbappend outside of
oe-core.

How would you feel about just including these two features in the
defconfig then?

Well, you don't need to maintain a .bbappend as such: you can just
provide your own, completely custom config file for busybox. That's
what micro does, what shr does (I think), and what I would suggest that
most DISTROs with non-trivial configuration requirements should probably
do.
I think most folks do actually use a .bbappend to fiddle FILESPATH in
order to get the configuration file picked up, but I'm fairly sure you
could do this with a bit of suitable magic in your distro config file
and avoid the .bbappend altogether.

Not massively enthusiastic, simply because the logical conclusion of
that approach is that we end up with basically everything in busybox
turned on. If we're going to go along that path then I think I would
prefer us to be up-front about it and just make the oe-core default
configuration for busybox be a "maximum features enabled" one.
