The openembedded build, at least with RPM or SMART, is heavily affected
by the cost of calling fsync or fdatasync on package databases all the
time. Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if we could suppress that without making
dozens of highly intrusive and risky changes into RPM, various database
packages, and so on?
Yes, yes it would. If only there were a program which could intercept
system calls and change their behavior!
Enter --enable-force-async. There are now wrappers for fsync, fdatasync,
and a few related functions. If --enable-force-async is set, these wrappers
instantly return 0, even if PSEUDO_DISABLED is set. And with any luck,
bitbake will now perform a bit better.
Credit for this insight goes to Richard Purdie. I've reimplemented
this to add the configure option, and make the fsync suppression work
even when PSEUDO_DISABLED is set.
