Upstream gcc now has support for ARC, as of 7.x, with 7.2 being
usable, so let's allow its selection.
GCC from Synopsys GitHub still has a lot of fixes and improvements
most of which will be a part of the next upstream release but let's
see how it goes and if we see vanilla GCC doesn't require way too many
back-ported patches we'll be able to get rid of Synopsys GitHub here
at all.
As of today the only really required back-port is the one for non-uClibc
libc.

Currently the possibility to choose the NaN encoding is conditional to
having a sufficiently recent gcc version.
Which means that the architecture selection depends on the gcc version.
But that's opposite to what we've always done in Buildroot: the software
versions are conditional to the architecture options. There is nothing
we can do about the hardware: it is there, we can't change it, while we
can restrict ourselves to using software that is working on said
hardware.
Thus, we inverse the logic, to move the condition onto the software
side: whenever NaN-2008 are selected, we restrict the toolchain
selection to at least a gcc-4.9.
But now, the option with the NaN type is always set, so we must enclose
the code in gcc.mk inside a HAS_NAN_OPTION condition, as is already done
for the external toolchain case.

GCC 4.9.x requires an old version of ISL to support graphite, and this
old version of ISL is not sufficient to support graphite in modern GCC
versions.
Since GCC 4.9.x is getting older, and to keep things simple, we stop
supporting graphite on old GCC < 5.x. This way, we will be able to
bump ISL to a version that is suitable for modern GCC versions.
In addition, this allows to drop the dependency on cloog, which was
only needed for GCC 4.9.

MIPS32 support different FP modes (32,xx,64), so give the user the
opportunity to choose between them. That will cause host-gcc to be built
using the --with-fp-32=[32|xx|64] configure option. Also the
-mfp[32|xx|64] gcc option will be added to TARGET_CFLAGS and to the
toolchain wrapper.
FP mode option shouldn't be used for soft-float, so we add logic in the
toolchain wrapper if -msoft-float is among the arguments in order to not
append the -fp[[32|xx|64] option, otherwise the compilation may fail.

NaN legacy is the only option available for R2 cores and older.
NaN 2008 is the only option available for R6 cores.
R5 cores can have either NaN legacy or NaN 2008, depending on the
implementation. So, if the user selects a generic R5 target architecture

The current BR2_GCC_ENABLE_TLS can cause users to make incorrect
choices, and is not very useful. This options allows to decide whether
we pass --enable-tls or --disable-tls to gcc, to enable or disable
support for Thread Local Storage.
Its behavior is:
- The option is default to "y" but only exists if we're using
uClibc/NPTL or glibc.
- When we're using uClibc, the option can be disabled.
So, in practice, this means that currently:
- TLS support is always on for glibc
- TLS support is on by default for uClibc/NPTL, but can be disabled in
the configuration. This is in fact bad and causes the build failure
reported in bug #7424 (this bug is still reproducible on master)
- TLS support is always disabled for uClibc/no-thread and
uClibc/linuxthreads.
- TLS support is always disabled for musl. This does not cause any
build failure, but musl can use TLS support, and therefore be more
efficient. According to
http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2012/10/04/1, "Note that if you've
been building gcc with --disable-tls, __thread was already working
but gets emulated (very poorly; it's slow and will abort() if it runs
out of memory) through libgcc.".
So, this commit completely removes the BR2_GCC_ENABLE_TLS and instead
makes the right choice inside gcc.mk directly:
- TLS support enabled for glibc, musl and uClibc/NPTL
- TLS support in other cases, i.e uClibc/no-thread and
uClibc/linuxthreads.
We have intentionally *not* added the option to
Config.in.legacy. Indeed, the new behavior is *exactly* the same as the
older behavior, with the exception of:
- People can no longer disable TLS support in uClibc/NPTL, which was
anyway causing a build failure and therefore was not used.
- TLS support is now enabled on musl, but people using musl already had
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_TLS not set, so they wouldn't get the legacy warning.
Fixes bug #7424.

Latest musl release supports ppc64 architecture (both big endian and
little endian), so this commit adds support for this.
Since musl implements the ELFv2 ABI for both big-endian and
little-endian PowerPC64, we have to force using this ABI on PowerPC64
big endian (normally elfv1 is the default).
Also, only gcc 6.x has the necessary changes to support musl on PowerPC
64, so we restrict the gcc version selection accordingly.

In commit f4682cf933, a hash of the patches applied to gcc was created
to make sure that ccache can properly detect when the toolchain has

However, the path to the patches in BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR was corrected
incorrectly, because it misses a /. So instead of:
$(BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/gcc-initial/*.patch
it would look for
$(BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)gcc-initial/*.patch

in BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR are not taken into account in the ccache hash.

During the gcc-initial build, we already pass
gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes explicitly when SSP support will be
available in the C library: at this point in time the C library is not
yet built, so gcc cannot detect if it will support SSP or not.
However, it turns out that there are some situations for which it is
also useful to tell gcc explicitly whether the SSP support is
available or not: the gcc logic to decide whether uClibc has SSP
support or not is broken since uClibc-ng bumped the glibc version it
pretends to be.
So, this commit makes sure that we explicitly pass
gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp both to gcc-initial and gcc-final, and that
we're always passing either 'yes' or 'no'.

If an externally built (non-Buildroot) toolchain also wraps the toolchain

To minimise this risk, use a more buildroot-specific extension instead:

Buildroot and get to the raw toolchain binaries.

When building in a different output directory than the original build,
there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases
there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an
option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths,
so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output).
Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made
optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the
usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option.
In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences
of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done
regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's
quite harmless.

Our current ccache disables hashing of the compiler executable itself,
because using the default 'mtime' doesn't work in buildroot: we always
rebuild the compiler, so the mtime is always different, so the cache
always misses.
However, in the current situation, if a user changes the compiler
configuration (which would result in the compiler generating different
object files than before) and does 'make clean all', ccache may in fact
reuse object files from the previous run. This rarely gives problems,
because
(1) the cache expires quite quickly (it's only 1GB by default),
(2) radically changing compiler options will cause cache misses because
different header files are used,
(3) many compiler changes (e.g. changing -mtune) have little practical
effect because the resulting code is usually still compatible,
(4) we currently don't use CCACHE_BASEDIR, and almost all object files
will contain an absolute path (e.g. in debug info), so when
building in a different directory, most of it will miss,
(5) we do mostly build test, and many of the potential problems only
appear at runtime.
Still, when ccache _does_ use the wrong cached object files, the
effects are really weird and hard to debug. Also, we want reproducible
builds and obviously the above makes builds non-reproducible. So we
have a FAQ entry that warns against using ccache and tells the user to
clear the cache in case of problems.
Now that ccache is called from the toolchain wrapper, it is in fact
possible to at least use the 'mtime' compiler hash for the external
toolchain and for the host-gcc. Indeed, in this case, the compiler
executable comes from a tarball so the mtime will be a good reference
for its state. Therefore, the patch (sed script) that changes the
default from 'mtime' to 'none' is removed.
For the internal toolchain, we can do better by providing a hash of
the relevant toolchain options. We are only interested in things that
affect the compiler itself, because ccache also processes the header
files and it doesn't look at libraries because it doesn't cache the
link step, just compilation. Everything that affects the compiler
itself can nicely be summarised in $(HOST_GCC_FINAL_CONF_OPTS). Of
course, also the compiler source itself is relevant, so the source
tarball and all the patches are included in the hash. For this purpose,
a new HOST_GCC_XTENSA_OVERLAY_TAR is introduced.
The following procedure tests the ccache behaviour:
Use this defconfig:
BR2_arm=y
BR2_CCACHE=y
make
readelf -A output/build/uclibc-1.0.6/libc/signal/signal.os
-> Tag_CPU_name: "ARM926EJ-S"
Now make menuconfig, change variant into BR2_cortex_a9
make clean; make
readelf -A output/build/uclibc-1.0.6/libc/signal/signal.os
-> Tag_CPU_name: "ARM926EJ-S"
should be "Cortex-A9"
After this commit, it is "Cortex-A9".

We have a toolchain wrapper for external toolchain, but it is also
beneficial for internal toolchains, for the following reasons:
1. It can make sure that BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION is passed to the
compiler even if a package's build system doesn't honor CFLAGS.
2. It allows us to do the unsafe path check (i.e. -I/usr/include)
without patching gcc.
3. It makes it simpler to implement building each package with a
separate staging directory (per-package staging).
4. It makes it simpler to implement a compiler hash check for ccache.
The wrapper is reused from the external toolchain. A third CROSS_PATH_
option is added to the wrapper: in this case, the real executable is in
the same directory, with the extension .real.
The creation of the simple symlinks is merged with the creation of the
wrapper symlinks, otherwise part of the -gcc-ar handling logic would
have to be repeated.
The complex case-condition could be refactored with the one for the
external toolchain, but then it becomes even more complex because
they each have special corner cases. For example, the internal
toolchain has to handle *.real to avoid creating an extra indirection
after host-gcc-{final,initial}-rebuild.
Instead of creating the .real files, it would also have been possible
to install the internal toolchain in $(HOST_DIR)/opt, similar to what
we do for the external toolchain. However, then we would also have to
copy things to the sysroot and do more of the magic that the external
toolchain is doing. So keeping it in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin is much
simpler.
Note that gcc-initial has to be wrapped as well, because it is used for
building libc and we want to apply the same magic when building libc.

The gcc.mk file is passing --enable-target-optspace to gcc configure
script, to ask for space-optimized (-Os) target libraries. However,
passing this option has the effect of overriding any custom
CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET or CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET values that may be passed.
These are some situations when it is required to pass custom flags on
buildong
of libgcc:
* Default flags "-g -Os" lead to build isses as with PowerPC on gcc 4.5
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43810)
* Particular CPU requires specific instructions for HW support
* Deep optimizations

Normally libsanitizer handles the different functionalities gracefully for
each architecture, but it doesn't seem to be the case for SPARC.
Since in general it doesn't support anything for SPARC just disable it.
Fixes bug #7951.

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with
LTO support.
Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to
GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag
globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag
if it does.
To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the
usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead
provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way
existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these
wrappers are called <tuple>-gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the
buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain
logic is updated to provide the correct symlink.
[Thomas:
- Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO
support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke
directly into gcc Config.in options.
- Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't
support anymore.
- Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer
mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in
Buildroot anyway.
- Fix typo in toolchain-external.mk comment.]
