Jonathan Liu ea647cd9ee base-files: add /run directory from FHS 3 draft specification
This adds the /run directory from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 3.0
Draft [1] and refactors the filesystem as follows:
- Remove creation of /var/volatile/run
- Remove creation of /var/volatile/lock
- Remove symbolic link from /var/run to /var/volatile/run
- Remove symbolic link from /var/lock to /var/volatile/lock
- Add symbolic link from /var/run to /run
- Add symbolic link from /var/lock -> /run/lock
- Add /run to /etc/fstab for sysvinit compatibility

Phil Blundell 53276bc724 fs-perms.txt: Don't tinker with file modes in /usr/src/debug
Since 6775feb9fe935ab01fd9cae2b2d3fce5824a9a72 our local "copy" of the
debug sources has in fact been hardlinked to ${S} and potentially other
places too.  This means that any modifications we make to these files
might have wider consequences than intended.

Avoid this potential pitfall by telling fixup_perms() to leave the file
modes in this directory alone.  No great harm will result from shipping
debug sources with a mode other than 0644: if the mode was permissive
enough for us to compile the sources in the first place then it must
also be permissive enough for subsequent debugging.

Mark Hatle 8781c843cf classes/package.bbclass: Add fixup_perms
Add a new function that is responsible for fixing directory and file
permissions, owners and groups during the packaging process.  This will fix
various issues where two packages may create the same directory and end up
with different permissions, owner and/or group.

The issue being resolved is that if two packages conflict in their ownership
of a directory, the first installed into the rootfs sets the permissions.
This leads to a least potentially non-deterministic filesystems, at worst
security defects.

The user can specify their own settings via the configuration files
specified in FILESYSTEM_PERMS_TABLES.  If this is not defined, it will
fall back to loading files/fs-perms.txt from BBPATH.  The format of this
file is documented within the file.

By default all of the system directories, specified in bitbake.conf, will
be fixed to be 0755, root, root.

The fs-perms.txt contains a few default entries to correct documentation,
locale, headers and debug sources.  It was discovered these are often
incorrect due to being directly copied from the build user environment.

The entries needed to match the base-files package have also been added.

Also tweak a couple of warnings to provide more diagnostic information.
