gdb: convert to the package infrastructure
This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).

toolchain: Improve C library option selection
Turn BR2_LARGEFILE, BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, BR2_USE_WCHAR,
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE and BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION into hidden options.
Then, for Buildroot toolchains, external toolchains and Crosstool-NG
toolchains, provide visible options that selects the hidden options.
This allows :
* To show a different label and help text in the case of Buildroot
toolchain (do you want to enable feature X ?) and in the case of
external toolchain (is feature X available in your toolchain ?)
* To not show any option when a glibc external toolchain is selected
(since glibc is assumed to support all of largefile, IPv6, RPC,
WCHAR, locale and program invocation) and have them all selected in
that case.
There is some amount of duplication between Buildroot toolchain config
options and Crosstool-NG toolchain config options, because kconfig
doesn't allow to source the same Config.in file twice (even if under
mutually exclusive conditions). This duplication is more readable that
the hack that consists in splitting files in multiple pieces.
However, this commit changes the name of the options visible in the
configuration interface, so existing .config files will have to be
updated accordingly.

Add a BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT option
When using an external toolchain that uses the glibc or eglibc C
libraries, compiling a separate gettext and libintl is not needed and
is even a source of confusion, causing build failures. These build
failures are due to the fact that when libintl is compiled, it
replaces the C library libintl.h by its own, which does #define
gettext libintl_gettext. Then, when packages want to use gettext,
autoconf realize that gettext is available in the C library and
therefore do not add -lintl to the LDFLAGS, causing the build failure
because the program has been compiled to use libintl_gettext but this
function is not available.
Therefore, we should only use gettext if a uClibc internal toolchain
or a uClibc external toolchain. If an external glibc toolchain is
used, gettext shouldn't be used.
In order to implement that, we introduce the BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT option,
which is hidden to the user, and whose value is computed automatically
from the rest of the configuration.

toolchain: linker options with a $ sign are not supported
As reported in bug #7172 [0], setting BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS to a value
containing a $ sign can lead to unexpected results.
This is because it is very hard to know when the $ sign gets evaluated:
- in the Buildroot-level make
- in the shell called by the Buildroot-level make
- in the package's own build-system, either at configure time, in the
Makefile, in a shell in the Makefile...
So, it is very difficult to know how much escaping that would need.
A proposal is to use a shell variable to pass such values unmolested.
But it is not that simple either, since it still contains a $ sign, and
there is not much certainty as to when it would be evaluated.
Instead, just document this limitation, both in the help text for
BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS, and in the known-issues section in the manual.
Does not really fix #7172, but at least the limitation is documented.

toolchain: add BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_{SYNC_x, ATOMIC} hidden booleans
Currently, Buildroot provides one BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS boolean option
to indicate whether the architecture supports atomic operations or
not. However, the reality of atomic operations support is much more
complicated and requires more than one option to be expressed
properly.
There are in fact two types of atomic built-ins provided by gcc:
(1) The __sync_*() family of functions, which have been in gcc for a
long time (probably gcc 4.1). They are available in variants
operating on 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte and 8-byte integers. Some
architectures implement a number of variants, some do not
implement any, some implement all of them.
They are now considered "legacy" by the gcc developers but are
nonetheless still being used by a significant number of userspace
libraries and applications.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/_005f_005fsync-Builtins.html
(2) The __atomic_*() family of functions, which have been introduced
in gcc 4.7. They have been introduced in order to support C++11
atomic operations. In gcc 4.8, they are available on all
architectures, either built-in or in the libatomic library part
of the gcc runtime (in which case the application needs to be
linked with -latomic). In gcc 4.7, the __atomic_*() intrinsics
are only supported on certain architectures, since libatomic did
not exist at the time.
For (1), a single BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS is not sufficient, because
depending on the architecture, some variants may or may not be
available. Setting BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS to false as soon as one of the
variant is missing would cause a large number of packages to become
unavailable, even if they in fact use only more common variants
available on a large number of architectures. For this reason, we've
chosen to introduce four new Config.in options:
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_1
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_2
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_3
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4
Which indicate whether the toolchain support 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte
and 8-byte __sync_*() built-ins respectively.
For (2), we introduce a BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC, which indicates if
the __atomic_*() built-ins are available. Note that it is up to the
package to link with -latomic when gcc is >= 4.8. Since __atomic_*()
intrinsics for all sizes are supported starting
We conducted a fairly large analysis about various architectures
supported by Buildroot, as well as with a number of different
toolchains, to check which combinations support which variant. To do,
we linked the following program with various toolchains:
int main(void)
{
uint8_t a;
uint16_t b;
uint32_t c;
uint64_t d;
__sync_fetch_and_add(&a, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&b, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&c, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&d, 3);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&a, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&b, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&c, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&d, 1, 2);
__atomic_add_fetch(&a, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&b, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&c, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&d, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&a, &a, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&b, &b, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&c, &c, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&d, &d, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
return 0;
}
And looked at which symbols were unresolved. For the __atomic_*()
ones, we tested with and without -latomic to see which variants are
built-in, which variants require libatomic. This testing effort has
led to the following results:
__sync __atomic gcc

Notes:
* __atomic built-ins appeared in gcc 4.7, so for toolchais older than
that, the __atomic column is empty.
* Y means 'supported built-in'
* L means 'supported via linking to libatomic' (only for __atomic
functions)
* X indicates a very special case for 8 bytes __sync built-ins on
ARM. On ARMv7, there is no problem, starting from gcc 4.7, the
__sync built-in for 8 bytes integers is implemented, fully in
userspace. For cores < ARMv7, doing a 8 bytes atomic operation
requires help from the kernel. Unfortunately, the libgcc code
implementing this uses the __write() function to display an error,
and this function is internal to glibc. Therefore, if you're using
glibc everything is fine, but if you're using uClibc or musl, you
cannot link an application that uses 8 bytes __sync
operations. This has been fixed as part of gcc PR68095, merged in
the gcc 5 branch but not yet part of any gcc release.
* - means not supported
This commit only introduces the new options. Follow-up commits will
progressively change the packages using BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS to use
the appropriate BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_x or BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC
until the point where BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS can be removed.

toolchain: add BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_{SYNC_x, ATOMIC} hidden booleans
Currently, Buildroot provides one BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS boolean option
to indicate whether the architecture supports atomic operations or
not. However, the reality of atomic operations support is much more
complicated and requires more than one option to be expressed
properly.
There are in fact two types of atomic built-ins provided by gcc:
(1) The __sync_*() family of functions, which have been in gcc for a
long time (probably gcc 4.1). They are available in variants
operating on 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte and 8-byte integers. Some
architectures implement a number of variants, some do not
implement any, some implement all of them.
They are now considered "legacy" by the gcc developers but are
nonetheless still being used by a significant number of userspace
libraries and applications.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/_005f_005fsync-Builtins.html
(2) The __atomic_*() family of functions, which have been introduced
in gcc 4.7. They have been introduced in order to support C++11
atomic operations. In gcc 4.8, they are available on all
architectures, either built-in or in the libatomic library part
of the gcc runtime (in which case the application needs to be
linked with -latomic). In gcc 4.7, the __atomic_*() intrinsics
are only supported on certain architectures, since libatomic did
not exist at the time.
For (1), a single BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS is not sufficient, because
depending on the architecture, some variants may or may not be
available. Setting BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS to false as soon as one of the
variant is missing would cause a large number of packages to become
unavailable, even if they in fact use only more common variants
available on a large number of architectures. For this reason, we've
chosen to introduce four new Config.in options:
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_1
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_2
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_3
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4
Which indicate whether the toolchain support 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte
and 8-byte __sync_*() built-ins respectively.
For (2), we introduce a BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC, which indicates if
the __atomic_*() built-ins are available. Note that it is up to the
package to link with -latomic when gcc is >= 4.8. Since __atomic_*()
intrinsics for all sizes are supported starting
We conducted a fairly large analysis about various architectures
supported by Buildroot, as well as with a number of different
toolchains, to check which combinations support which variant. To do,
we linked the following program with various toolchains:
int main(void)
{
uint8_t a;
uint16_t b;
uint32_t c;
uint64_t d;
__sync_fetch_and_add(&a, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&b, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&c, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&d, 3);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&a, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&b, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&c, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&d, 1, 2);
__atomic_add_fetch(&a, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&b, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&c, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&d, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&a, &a, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&b, &b, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&c, &c, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&d, &d, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
return 0;
}
And looked at which symbols were unresolved. For the __atomic_*()
ones, we tested with and without -latomic to see which variants are
built-in, which variants require libatomic. This testing effort has
led to the following results:
__sync __atomic gcc

toolchain: introduce BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC
Until now, we were assuming that whenever you have gcc 4.8, libatomic
is available. It turns out that this is not correct, since libatomic
will not be available if thread support is disabled in the toolchain.
Therefore, __atomic_*() intrinsics may not be available even if the
toolchain uses gcc 4.8.
To solve this problem, we introduce a BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC
boolean, which indicates whether the toolchain has libatomic. It is
the case when you are using gcc >= 4.8 *and* thread support is
enabled. We then use this new BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC to define
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC.
As explained in the comment, on certain architectures, libatomic is
technically not needed to provide the __atomic_*() intrinsics since
they might be all built-in. However, since libatomic is only absent in
non-thread capable toolchains, it is not worth making things more
complex for such seldomly used configuration.
Note that we are introducing the intermediate
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC option because it will be useful on its
own for certain packages.

They are now considered "legacy" by the gcc developers but are
nonetheless still being used by a significant number of userspace
libraries and applications.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/_005f_005fsync-Builtins.html
(2) The __atomic_*() family of functions, which have been introduced
in gcc 4.7. They have been introduced in order to support C++11
atomic operations. In gcc 4.8, they are available on all
architectures, either built-in or in the libatomic library part

available on a large number of architectures. For this reason, we've
chosen to introduce four new Config.in options:
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_1
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_2
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_3
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4
Which indicate whether the toolchain support 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte
and 8-byte __sync_*() built-ins respectively.
For (2), we introduce a BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC, which indicates if
the __atomic_*() built-ins are available. Note that it is up to the
package to link with -latomic when gcc is >= 4.8. Since __atomic_*()
intrinsics for all sizes are supported starting
We conducted a fairly large analysis about various architectures
supported by Buildroot, as well as with a number of different
toolchains, to check which combinations support which variant. To do,
we linked the following program with various toolchains:
int main(void)
{
uint8_t a;
uint16_t b;
uint32_t c;
uint64_t d;
__sync_fetch_and_add(&a, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&b, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&c, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&d, 3);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&a, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&b, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&c, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&d, 1, 2);
__atomic_add_fetch(&a, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&b, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&c, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&d, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&a, &a, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&b, &b, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&c, &c, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&d, &d, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
return 0;
}
And looked at which symbols were unresolved. For the __atomic_*()
ones, we tested with and without -latomic to see which variants are
built-in, which variants require libatomic. This testing effort has
led to the following results:

toolchain: introduce BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC
Until now, we were assuming that whenever you have gcc 4.8, libatomic
is available. It turns out that this is not correct, since libatomic
will not be available if thread support is disabled in the toolchain.
Therefore, __atomic_*() intrinsics may not be available even if the
toolchain uses gcc 4.8.
To solve this problem, we introduce a BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC
boolean, which indicates whether the toolchain has libatomic. It is
the case when you are using gcc >= 4.8 *and* thread support is
enabled. We then use this new BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC to define
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC.
As explained in the comment, on certain architectures, libatomic is
technically not needed to provide the __atomic_*() intrinsics since
they might be all built-in. However, since libatomic is only absent in
non-thread capable toolchains, it is not worth making things more
complex for such seldomly used configuration.
Note that we are introducing the intermediate
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC option because it will be useful on its
own for certain packages.

toolchain: add BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_{SYNC_x, ATOMIC} hidden booleans
Currently, Buildroot provides one BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS boolean option
to indicate whether the architecture supports atomic operations or
not. However, the reality of atomic operations support is much more
complicated and requires more than one option to be expressed
properly.
There are in fact two types of atomic built-ins provided by gcc:
(1) The __sync_*() family of functions, which have been in gcc for a
long time (probably gcc 4.1). They are available in variants
operating on 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte and 8-byte integers. Some
architectures implement a number of variants, some do not
implement any, some implement all of them.
They are now considered "legacy" by the gcc developers but are
nonetheless still being used by a significant number of userspace
libraries and applications.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/_005f_005fsync-Builtins.html
(2) The __atomic_*() family of functions, which have been introduced
in gcc 4.7. They have been introduced in order to support C++11
atomic operations. In gcc 4.8, they are available on all
architectures, either built-in or in the libatomic library part
of the gcc runtime (in which case the application needs to be
linked with -latomic). In gcc 4.7, the __atomic_*() intrinsics
are only supported on certain architectures, since libatomic did
not exist at the time.
For (1), a single BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS is not sufficient, because
depending on the architecture, some variants may or may not be
available. Setting BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS to false as soon as one of the
variant is missing would cause a large number of packages to become
unavailable, even if they in fact use only more common variants
available on a large number of architectures. For this reason, we've
chosen to introduce four new Config.in options:
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_1
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_2
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_3
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4
Which indicate whether the toolchain support 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte
and 8-byte __sync_*() built-ins respectively.
For (2), we introduce a BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC, which indicates if
the __atomic_*() built-ins are available. Note that it is up to the
package to link with -latomic when gcc is >= 4.8. Since __atomic_*()
intrinsics for all sizes are supported starting
We conducted a fairly large analysis about various architectures
supported by Buildroot, as well as with a number of different
toolchains, to check which combinations support which variant. To do,
we linked the following program with various toolchains:
int main(void)
{
uint8_t a;
uint16_t b;
uint32_t c;
uint64_t d;
__sync_fetch_and_add(&a, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&b, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&c, 3);
__sync_fetch_and_add(&d, 3);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&a, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&b, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&c, 1, 2);
__sync_val_compare_and_swap(&d, 1, 2);
__atomic_add_fetch(&a, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&b, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&c, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_add_fetch(&d, 3, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&a, &a, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&b, &b, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&c, &c, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
__atomic_compare_exchange_n(&d, &d, 2, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
return 0;
}
And looked at which symbols were unresolved. For the __atomic_*()
ones, we tested with and without -latomic to see which variants are
built-in, which variants require libatomic. This testing effort has
led to the following results:
__sync __atomic gcc

Notes:
* __atomic built-ins appeared in gcc 4.7, so for toolchais older than
that, the __atomic column is empty.
* Y means 'supported built-in'
* L means 'supported via linking to libatomic' (only for __atomic
functions)
* X indicates a very special case for 8 bytes __sync built-ins on
ARM. On ARMv7, there is no problem, starting from gcc 4.7, the
__sync built-in for 8 bytes integers is implemented, fully in
userspace. For cores < ARMv7, doing a 8 bytes atomic operation
requires help from the kernel. Unfortunately, the libgcc code
implementing this uses the __write() function to display an error,
and this function is internal to glibc. Therefore, if you're using
glibc everything is fine, but if you're using uClibc or musl, you
cannot link an application that uses 8 bytes __sync
operations. This has been fixed as part of gcc PR68095, merged in
the gcc 5 branch but not yet part of any gcc release.
* - means not supported
This commit only introduces the new options. Follow-up commits will
progressively change the packages using BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS to use
the appropriate BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_x or BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC
until the point where BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS can be removed.
