bitbake: runqueue: Reimplement recrdepends so it works more correctly
Currently, recrdepends is extremely greedy. For example: do_foo[rdepends] = "somedep:sometask" addtask foo which adds foo with *no* dependencies, will suddenly start appearing as a dependency in every task which uses recrdepends. So far this has been mildy annoying but we now have use cases where this makes no sense at all. This reworks the recrdepends code to avoid this problem. To do this we can no longer collapse things into lists just based on file ID. The problem is this code is extremely performance sensitive. The "preparing runqueue" phase spends a lot of time in these recursive dependency calculations so any change here could negatively impact the user experience. As such, this code has been carefully tested on convoluted dependency trees with operations like "time bitbake world -g". The net result of this change and the preceeding changes combined is a net speed up of these operations in all cases measured. Tests were made comparing "bitbake world -g" task-depends.dot before and after this patch. There *are* differences for example -nativesdk do_build dependencies on -native recipes are no longer present. All removed dependencies appear to be sensible improvements to the system. The "rdepends" cross contamination issue above is also fixed. (Bitbake rev: 82d73423c57569b984ee0ae3d93e3c3bd5dc5216) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
