This is the Vivante kernel driver split from the kernel source code in
order to make it possible to be used in any kernel source since 3.10.53.
The driver source code provided by Freescale needs fixes so the
community forked the code to allow faster development and easier
integration of fixes from the community.

Some heavily (and most often improperly) modified Linux kernels may export
new APIs to userland, so as to speak to custom hardware or custom kernel
facilities.
However, we currently have no easy way to use such kernels as a source
for the linux-headers package, which precludes having those userland
headers intalled for userland applications to use them.
We do have a way for the kernel to use the same version as for the
headers, but that is definitely not enough, as the linux-headers package
has a version choice that is far less versatile and capable than that of
the linux package.
Add a new option for the linux-headers package, for the user to specify
that the version (really, the sources) of the kernel be used to install
the headers from.
We do that by making linux-headers patch-depend on the linux package.
We can't have linux-header simply depend on linux, because the simple
dependency means the the dependee will be configured, built and installed
before the dependent is configured. And since linux is a target package,
it depends on the toolchain, which internally dependes on linux-headers,
which would depend on linux, and we'd get a circular dependency.
Using patch-depend will ensure that linux is extracted and patched
before linux-headers is extracted, which is really all we need.
Then, we install the headers from the linux source tree, rather than
from linux-headers' source tree (as there's nothing in there!).
Since we need to install a private set for uClibc (see cde947f, uclibc:
prevent rebuilding after installation to staging), we explicitly set
INSTALL_HDR_PATH when calling the kernel' install-headers rule in
LINUX_HEADERS_CONFIGURE_CMDS, so that the headers are installed in
linux-headers' $(@D) instead of linux' $(@D).
Finally, as there is no way to know the kernel version in this case, we
must still prompt the user for the kernel series the headers are from
(like we do for a custom version) and check for consistency at build
time.
Note however that this still leaves users that want to built their
such-kernel outside of Buildroot out in the cold.

In case of uClibc librt depends on libpthread. In particular
timer_create() function uses pthread_XXX(). That means in case
of static builds it's required to link not librt alone but
together with libpthread. So if checking timer_create function
in librt fails, it is necessary to check if timer_create function
successfully links with "-lpthread".
That issues was spotted in Buldroot autobuilder failures:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/759/75960db671807091fe9155aee9e46a6245e32590/http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/112/112e8b85783f5aaba42a937a6eb064317615a21b/

In some cases, the toolchain sources are now recovered and available in
the legal-info output. So, adapt the header to use conditional instead
of an definitive negation.
Also update the part about saving the sources: it's not the license list
that defines whether sources are installed, but rather whether the
package is redistributable or not.
Update the header accordingly.

samba4 relies on the $ORIGIN feature of the dynamic linker, which used

- this feature is supported by glibc
- this feature is supported by uClibc-ng, which is the only uClibc

- this feature is supported by musl
Consequently, we can completely remove the dependency of samba4 on

Note that despite this commit, samba4 still cannot be chosen when the

which musl doesn't provide.

Consequently, this commit completely removes any C library dependency for

mongrel2 uses the {get,make,swap}context functions:
- With glibc, no problem, they are available on all supported

- With uClibc, they are available only on a subset of the

configurations were allowed to select mongrel2, but we are going to
get rid of the uClibc snapshot version, and uClibc-ng is as capable
as the uClibc snapshot. However, only certain architectures have
the *context() functions.
- With musl, there is no *context() support.
Since this dependency is quite complicated, we introduce a
BR2_PACKAGE_MONGREL2_LIBC_SUPPORTS hidden boolean to encode which C
libraries are supported.
Also, listing the supported uClibc architectures would be too long in
the comment, so we simply indicate that the package needs uClibc or

The libunwind package currently dependency on glibc *or* uclibc
snapshot. However, we are going to remove the support for uclibc
snapshot, and uClibc-ng has equivalent functionality as uclibc
snapshot. Moreover, musl is also capable of building libunwind for
certain architectures.
Therefore, this commit reworks the architecture dependencies of
libunwind, to make it available on all architectures for which it is
supported, depending on the capabilities of the different C libraries,
and the implementation of libunwind on each architecture.
On some architectures, libunwind uses the C library *context()
functions, which are not provided by musl at all, and not provided by
uClibc on all architectures. But on some other architectures,
libunwind does not use the C library *context() functions, which
explains why it can be built with musl on such architectures.
