13a0129b0a support/testing: use larger runner to reduce the CI minute consumed per pipeline
Based on the first pipeline result [1], use larger runner for the
following tests:

  tests.fs.test_oci.TestOci.test_run (01:08:15)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_dpdk.TestDPDK.test_run (01:08:36)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_z3.TestZ3.test_run (01:11:41)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_octave.TestOctave.test_run (01:21:57)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_podman.TestPodmanSlirpNftables.test_run (01:21:15)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_podman.TestPodmanSlirpIptables.test_run (01:21:25)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_mariadb.TestMariaDB.test_run (01:26:15)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_podman.TestPodmanIptables.test_run (01:28:51)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_podman.TestPodmanTini.test_run (01:29:08)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_podman.TestPodmanNftables.test_run (01:41:26)
  saas-linux-small-amd64 -> saas-linux-xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_weston.TestWeston.test_run (01:26:17)
  saas-linux-large-amd64 -> saas-linux-2xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_python_pyqt5.TestPythonPyQt5.test_run (01:41:33)
  saas-linux-large-amd64 -> saas-linux-2xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_nodejs.TestNodeJSModuleHostBin.test_run (01:21:06)
  saas-linux-large-amd64 -> saas-linux-2xlarge-amd64

  tests.package.test_flutter.TestFlutter.test_run (01:03:05)
  saas-linux-xlarge-amd64 -> saas-linux-2xlarge-amd64

For tests long that already use 2xlarge runner tag, we may have to run
them on Gitlab runners owned by the Buildroot project.

c9df1b64b2 support/testing: generate runtime test jobs with runner tags
We have our own GitLab-CI runner, but with only one we can't run many
jobs in parallel so it takes a very long time before all the tests have
completed. In addition, if that runner goes down, we have nothing at
all.

GitLab offers the following machine types for hosted runners on Linux
x86-64 [1]. The default is the "small" runner. Using a larger runner
increases the "Cost factor" [2].

For opensource projects, the Cost factor is reduced to 0.5 (1 minute per
2 minutes of job time) whatever the runner type.

Runner Tag                                             vCPUs   Memory  Storage  Cost factor (OSS)
saas-linux-small-amd64 (default)                           2     8 GB    30 GB     1 (0.5)
saas-linux-medium-amd64                                    4    16 GB    50 GB     2 (0.5)
saas-linux-large-amd64 (Premium and Ultimate only)         8    32 GB   100 GB     3 (0.5)
saas-linux-xlarge-amd64 (Premium and Ultimate only)       16    64 GB   200 GB     6 (0.5)
saas-linux-2xlarge-amd64 (Premium and Ultimate only)      32   128 GB   200 GB    12 (0.5)

Compute minutes consumed by a job is calculated by:

  Job duration / 60 * Cost factor

(Job duration: The time, in seconds, that a job took to run, not
including time spent in the created or pending statuses.)

Thanks to the GitLab OSS program [3], Buildroot benefits from a free
Ultimate subscription and can use GitLab shared runners tagged with
saas-linux-{large, xlarge, 2xlarge}-amd64. In addition, we receive
50,000 free runner minutes per month.

In order to use one of those tags in Buildroot GitLab-CI jobs, we have
to classify all tests by resource requirement, to make sure the job
doesn't fail because it times out or has insufficient memory or disk
space. While we usually shouldn't use the largest runner for
everything, we can use larger runner without cost penalty thanks to
the cost factor reduced to 0.5 for opensource projects. This will
reduce the CI minutes consumed by a CPU intensive job.

First we introduce some new templates used to add the corresponding
runner tag to a runtime test job (reusing the GitLab terminology).

    .runner-{small,medium,large,xlarge,2xlarge}

Most of our tests are fast (checkpackage, test_external_bootlin...), so
saas-linux-small-amd64 runner tag is enough. Default to this tag if
nothing else is specified.

Add a comment next to the test class to provide the runner tag.
This runner tag is retrieved when generating the
generated-gitlab-ci.yml file used to create the child pipeline where
the runtime test jobs are executed.

We use the list of runtime tests returned by node2:

  "tests.boot.test_edk2.TestEdk2.test_run"

We convert each element of this list to get the path to the test source
file and the name of the test:

  "support/testing/tests/boot/test_edk2.py"

  TestEdk2

With that, we can grep into the test source file to retrieve the runner
tag placed one line above the test class:

  # GitLab-runner: large
  class TestEdk2(infra.basetest.BRTest):

Once the runner tag is retrieved, it's used to use the corresponding
runner template to the runtime test job:

  tests.boot.test_edk2.TestEdk2.test_run: { extends: [ .runtime_test_base, .runner-large ]}

GitLab runners hosted by the Buildroot project should be able to run
any jobs, so they should be tagged with Gitlab runner tags
(saas-linux-{small,medium,large,xlarge,2xlarge}-amd64).
A specific runner tag "buildroot-runner" can be used to allow running
a job only on such runners.

If a test can't be executed by any shared GitLab-CI runners, we have
to use a runner owned by the Buildroot project. In this case we have
to use a specific template ".runner-buildroot-runner-only" in order to
add the specific runner tag "buildroot-runner" to the job running the
test. There is no such runtime test at the moment.

The proposed classification is based on a previous pipeline analysis
[5]:

  - Tests lasting more than 3 hours will use 2xlarge runners.
  - Tests lasting more than 2 hours will use xlarge runners.
  - Tests lasting more than 1 hours will use large runners.
  - Tests building a kernel or a toolchain will use medium runners.
  - All other tests will use small runners when possible.

CI minute cost estimate:

tests.package.test_clang.TestClangCompilerRT.test_run lasts 4h25 on the
Buildroot runner. If we this duration for 2xlarge runners, the CI
minute consumed would be:

  (15900 / 60) * 0.5 = 133

With 6 jobs using a 2xlarge runners we used ~795 CI minutes.

tests.package.test_kmscube.TestKmsCube.test_run list 2h04 on the
Buildroot runner. If we	this duration for xlarge runners, the CI
minute consumed would be:

  (7440 / 60) * 0.5 = 62

With 4 jobs using a xlarge runners we used ~248 CI minutes.

tests.package.test_weston.TestWeston.test_run last 1h15 on th
Buildroot runner. If we this duration for large runners, the CI
minute consumed would be:

  (4500 / 60) * 0.5 = 37.5

With 28 jobs using a large runners we used ~1050 CI minutes.

tests.package.test_gstreamer1.TestGstreamer1.test_run last 46min on the
Buildroot runner. If we this duration for large runners, the CI
minute consumed would be:

  (2760 / 60) * 0.5 = 23

With 31 jobs using a medium runners we used ~713 CI minutes.

tests.package.test_python.TestPython3Py.test_run last 13min on the
Buildroot runner. If we this duration for large runners, the CI
minute consumed would be:

  (780 / 60) * 0.5 = 6.5

With 691 jobs using a medium runners we used ~4491 CI minutes.

In total, one pipeline for the runtime tests cost ~7297 CI minutes.
After a first try [6], we are actually using 8000 CI minutes per
pipeline.

We run such pipeline once a week (on Monday), one for each Buildroot
releases every 3 month, one for each stable and LTS release per month,
and one for each release candidate (3).

Worst case (release month):
(4 weeks + 1 release + 1 stable + 1 LTS + 3 release candidate) * 8000 CI
minutes: 80000 CI minutes / 50000.

So we would spend the minutes very quickly in the worst case scenario.
We have to keep one pipeline under 5000 CI minutes.

3713c3e82c Revert "support/testing: generate runtime test jobs with runner tags"
The CI minute cost estimate is wrong for two reasons:
  1) Job duration was in minutes instead of seconds
  2) The cost factor is really 0,5 [1] instead of
     based on runner type * 0,5.

Due to this two mistake, the real CI minute cost is 7982.1 [2] instead
of 350.

Since we want to backport this patch, having a correct CI minute cost
estimate in the commit log would be better. Lets revert last changes
about runner tag and try again.

  (265 / 60) * 12 * 0.5 = 26,5

With 6 jobs using a 2xlarge runners we used ~160 CI minutes.

tests.package.test_kmscube.TestKmsCube.test_run list 2h04 on the
Buildroot runner. If we	this duration for xlarge runners, the CI
minute consumed would be:

  (124 / 60) * 6 * 0.5 = 6,2

With 4 jobs using a xlarge runners we used ~37 CI minutes.

  (46 / 60) * 2 * 0.5 = 0.76

With 31 jobs using a medium runners we used ~24 CI minutes.

Buildroot runner. If we this duration for large runners, the CI
minute consumed would be:

  (13 / 60) * 1 * 0.5 = 0.1

With 691 jobs using a medium runners we used ~69 CI minutes.

In total, one pipeline for the runtime tests cost ~350 CI minutes.

We run such pipeline once a week (on Monday), one for each Buildroot
releases every 3 month, one for each stable and LTS release per month,

Worst case (realse month):
(4 weeks + 1 release + 1 stable + 1 LTS + 3 release candidate) * 350 CI
minutes: 3500 CI minutes / 50000.

So we should be able to run our pipeline without exhausting our CI
minutes credit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes needed for the bump to 24.1.x:

Added dependency to llvm & Co. for iris driver due to upstream commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/meson.build?h=24.1&id=a512c2a8b572c5da360873320dbbd343c6223cd6

Added host version of mesa tool intel_clc needed for target build of the
iris driver.

Added dependency to host-python-pycparser for etnaviv driver due to
upstream commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/src/etnaviv/hwdb/meson.build?h=24.1&id=2192e620bb0c68b75ff45165d0b117c7ecb77268

Added dependency to host-python-ply for intel vulkan driver due to
upstream commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/src/intel/vulkan/grl/meson.build?h=24.1&id=dc1aedef2bd054884685ad971a3ef5be07ecd101

Although this dependency exists since mesa3d 22.3 it is only needed when
intel-clc is enabled, this dependency is added with this patch so no need
to backport this dependency to older buildroot trees.

Update configure parameter of glvnd option due to upstream commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/meson.build?h=24.1&id=4f25b84b2460524d375424a81b42faa4d99c8e60
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes needed for the bump to 24.2.x:

Added dependency to host-python-pyyaml to host and target build, needed
due to upstream commit
a381332757

Rebased patch 0002 due to upstream commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/src/gallium/drivers/vc4/meson.build?h=24.2&id=da70827656757cd070faac7aff5ca057f1e7fb8a

Renamed BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_GALLIUM_DRIVER_SWRAST to
BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_GALLIUM_DRIVER_SOFTPIPE (also updated tests) and
added new option BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_GALLIUM_DRIVER_LLVMPIPE due to
upstream commit
010b2f9497
"gallium/meson: Deconflate swrast/softpipe/llvmpipe"

Also, the test_glxinfo.py now needs GBM to work. Since GBM depends
on EGL (which also selects GBM), this commit adds
BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_OPENGL_EGL=y to this glxinfo runtime test config.

Without this, glxinfo fails with an error such as:

    Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

This is related to upstream cleanups such as:
93511c1c5c

Thanks to El Mehdi YOUNES <elmehdi.younes@smile.fr> for pointing
that out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes needed for the bump to 24.3.x:

Rebased patch 0002 again due to upstream commit:
25ba90fd88

Removed dri3 configure option:
8f6fca89aa

Removed gallium-omx configure option:
9b6c27a320

Removed gallium kmsro configure option:
89863a050b
70813c1c13
No legacy option needed due to automatic handling by the mesa build
system: "Automatically include it if we're building with a driver that
depends on it, and don't include it if we're not."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes needed for the bump to 25.0.x:

Rebased patch 0001, added license files and updated license hash
due to upstream commits which restructured the license files:
69849bc4d1 (e672208340b30f973cdab11421f1c91b39d5c02e)
c22d640fe9

Removed configure option opencl-spirv due to upstream commit:
