[PATCH] image-prelink.bbclass: use the pseudo env var PSEUDO_ALLOW_FSYNC for prelink

[PATCH] image-prelink.bbclass: use the pseudo env var PSEUDO_ALLOW_FSYNC for prelink

[Mark Hatle]

From: Jackie Huang <jackie.huang@windriver.com>

(Note: this patch is sent for YP compliance, I don't believe it is
 applicable to general oe-core.)

This would actually emit fsync calls, which may fix the do_rootfs failure
on older systems like CentOS 5.x or SuSE 11.

[PATCH] syslinux: check for __i386__ and __x86_64__ instead of __SIZEOF_POINTER__

[Mark Hatle]

From: Lei Liu <lei.liu2@windriver.com>

(Note: this patch is being sent for Yocto Project compliance, I don't
 believe it is generally applicable to oe-core as it's only needed on
 older host systems.)

GCC version 4.2 and earlier does not define __SIZEOF_POINTER__.
Check for __i386__ and __x86_64__ instead to make the code compile with
old compiler.

I don't think it hurt to include it in OE-Core. I'd be in favor of including it.

There're a Yocto bug about this issue, no?

There is and its not something we're going to fix in master since the
changes are invasive and likely pointless since its a race problem and
just moves the race. You'd probably have to run fsync after ever single
command just to be safe.

The correct fix is to use an OS with a working filesystem as far as I'm
concerned.

Cheers,
