[OE-core] [PATCH V4 0/2] sstate_readonly: only allowed sstate-cache objects to be built (read-only sstate-cache)

[Hongxu Jia]

Changed in V4:
- Enable read-only sstate-cache by inheriting the bbclass
  rather than by the SSTATECACHE_WHITELIST value is not null.
  There will be cases where customers don't want to build
  -anything- from source. In V3, So they would need to enter
  a dummy value to get that behavior, and that would not be
  intuitive. 

Changed in V3:
- remove bitbake patch, which was sent to bitbake-devel
- rebase 'bbclass/sstate' patch, which was conflicted with
  'sstate: Add extra intercept functions' patch in master-next

Changed in V2:

- add hook SSTATE_CHECK_FUNCTIONS for sstate checking, and
  add a new bbclass/sstate_readonly, rather than directly
  modify bbclass/sstate

- terminate build safely while RunQueueExecuteScenequeue
  init failed, the previous bb.msg.fatal is too hack.

Test Steps:

1) Prepare an existed sstate_cache with cache directory "Sstate_Cache_Dir"
   It contained db-native sstate_cache.

2) Enable read-only sstate-cache by inheriting, and assign SSTATE_DIR
   with Sstate_Cache_Dir, vim local.conf
...
INHERIT += 'sstate_readonly'
SSTATE_DIR = "Sstate_Cache_Dir"
...

3) bitbake db-native

4) tweak db's do_configure task by adding comments

 }


5) build db-native and there is a build failure
$ bitbake db-native

6) clean db-native failed
$ bitbake db-native -ccleansstate

7) Add db-native to SSTATECACHE_WHITELIST
vim local.conf
...
SSTATECACHE_WHITELIST = 'db-native'
...

8) build/clean db-native succee
$ bitbake db-native
$ bitbake db-native -ccleansstate
$ bitbake db-native -ccleanall
