Felix Moessbauer 102c4667d1 forward build-concurrency related env vars
This patch forwards environment variables to control the concurrency and
parallelism of the build to bitbake.
With that, the user can reduce the concurrency in case of running short
on memory. Further, by reducing the concurrency on very large and NUMA
machines, the build sometimes can be significantly speed up.

Environment variables
---------------------
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| Environment variables | Description |
+==========================+==================================================+
| ``KAS_WORK_DIR`` | The path of the kas work directory, current work |
| | directory is the default. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``KAS_BUILD_DIR`` | The path build directory, |
| | ``${KAS_WORK_DIR}/build`` is the default. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``KAS_REPO_REF_DIR`` | The path to the repository reference directory. |
| | Repositories in this directory are used as |
| | references when cloning. In order for kas to |
| | find those repositories, they have to be named |
| | in a specific way. The repo URLs are translated |
| | like this: |
| | "https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2000.git" |
| | resolves to the name |
| | "github.com.siemens.meta-iot2000.git". |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``KAS_DISTRO`` | This overwrites the respective setting in the |
| ``KAS_MACHINE`` | configuration file. |
| ``KAS_TARGET`` | |
| ``KAS_TASK`` | |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``KAS_PREMIRRORS`` | Specifies alternatives for repo URLs. Just like |
| | bitbake ``PREMIRRORS``, this variable consists |
| | of new-line separated entries. Each entry |
| | defines a regular expression to match a URL and, |
| | space-separated, its replacement. E.g.: |
| | "http://.*\.someurl\.io/ http://localmirror.net/"|
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`` | Variable containing the private key that should |
| | be added to an internal ssh-agent. This key |
| | cannot be password protected. This setting is |
| | useful for CI build servers. On desktop |
| | machines, an ssh-agent running outside the kas |
| | environment is more useful. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE`` | Path to the private key file that should be |
| | added to an internal ssh-agent. This key cannot |
| | be password protected. This setting is useful |
| | for CI build servers. On desktop machines, an |
| | ssh-agent running outside the kas environment is |
| | more useful. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``SSH_AUTH_SOCK`` | SSH authentication socket. Used for cloning over |
| | SSH (alternative to ``SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`` or |
| | ``SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE``). |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``DL_DIR`` | Environment variables that are transferred to |
| ``SSTATE_DIR`` | the bitbake environment. |
| ``TMPDIR`` | |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``http_proxy`` | These variables define the proxy configuration |
| ``https_proxy`` | bitbake should use. |
| ``ftp_proxy`` | |
| ``no_proxy`` | |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``GIT_PROXY_COMMAND`` | Set proxy for native git fetches. ``NO_PROXY`` |
| ``NO_PROXY`` | is evaluated by OpenEmbedded's oe-git-proxy |
| | script. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``SHELL`` | The shell to start when using the `shell` |
| | plugin. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``TERM`` | The terminal options used in the `shell` plugin. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``AWS_CONFIG_FILE`` | Path to the awscli configuration and credentials |
| |aws_cred| | file that are copied to the kas home dir. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| |git_cred| | Allows to set the git credential helper in the |
| | `.gitconfig` of the kas user. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``NETRC_FILE`` | Path to a .netrc file which will be copied to |
| | the kas home dir as .netrc. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``CI_SERVER_HOST`` | Environment variables from gitlab CI, if set |
| ``CI_JOB_TOKEN`` | .netrc is configured to allow fetching from |
| | the gitlab instance. An entry will be appended |
| | in case ``NETRC_FILE`` was given as well. Note |
| | that if the file already contains an entry for |
| | that host most tools would probably take that |
| | first one. |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| ``BB_NUMBER_THREADS`` | Environment variables to control the concurrency |
| ``PARALLEL_MAKE`` | |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
