[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/1] utils.py: fix BB_ENV_WHITELIST

[Robert Yang]

The BB_ENV_WHITELIST doesn't work well and flushes BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE,
here is an example:

$ export BB_ENV_WHITELIST

$ export BB_NUMBER_THREADS=10 (or other value)

Edit conf/local.conf, change "BB_NUMBER_THREADS =" to "BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?="

$ bitbake -e | grep '^BB_NUMBER_THREADS ='
we will notice that BB_NUMBER_THREADS' value doesn't change, though
BB_NUMBER_THREADS in both BB_ENV_WHITELIST and BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE.

This is because the "approved" inside the function approved_variables
doesn't include BB_ENV_WHITELIST or BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE when
BB_ENV_WHITELIST is set (they are incuded by preserved_envvars()), so
the BB_ENV_WHITELIST and BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE will be removed from the env
in the first call from bin/bitbake, and when it is called again by
cooker.py, their value will be None, then the vars inside them will be
removed from the env.

Add BB_ENV_WHITELIST and BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE to the "approved" would fix
the problem.
