Signature generation uses mkstemp() to get a file descriptor to a unique file and then write the signature into it. However, the unique file name generation in glibc is based on the system timestamp, which means that with highly parallel builds it is more likely than one might expect expected that a conflict will occur between two different builder nodes. When operating over NFS (such as a shared sstate cache), this can cause race conditions and rare failures (particularly with NFS servers that may not correctly implement O_EXCL). The signature generation code is particularly susceptible to races since a single "sigtask." prefix used for all signatures from all tasks, which makes collision even more likely. To work around this, add an internal implementation of mkstemp() that adds additional truly random entropy to the file name to eliminate conflicts.

Bitbake
=======
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
https://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
html version at the Yocto Project website:

Contributing
------------
Please refer to
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Mailing list:
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/bitbake-devel

Testing:
Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.
You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since
it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is
recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also
appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
