Add a new patch to allow to build gcc 7.1 without extracting gcc/testsuite
directory.
This new gcc version require a kernel patch [1] to avoid a build issue with
____ilog2_NaN symbol. The following kernel version contain contain already
this patch :
4.11, 4.10.6, 4.9.18, 4.4.57, 3.18.50 and 3.12.73.
To build a toolchain based on gcc 7 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24, the patch [2] is
required to avoid a build issue due to missing aligned_alloc() definition.

The options to purge locales and to generate locale data are currently
located in the toolchain menu. However, these options are not really
related to the toolchain per-se, they are more system-level
configuration options, much like the timezone selection option we
already have in the "System configuration" menu.
Therefore, it makes more sense to have the locale-related options in
the "System configuration" menu as well.

Our current list of locales to keep by default is "C en_US de fr". It
doesn't make much sense to keep "de" and "fr" more than any other

and leave it to the user to specify other locales to keep if needed.

Our current default is to keep all locales installed in
/usr/share/locale/. However, in practice, those locales take up a
significant amount of space, and most users do not need
locales. Therefore, it makes more sense to default to purging locales,
in order to keep only a few useful ones rather than keeping them all.
It helps in providing a small filesystem size by default, and still
allows advanced users who really need locales to tune their
configuration.
As an example, a very basic system with just util-linux enabled (not
even Busybox) weights 11 MB, including 6.4 MB of locales. With this new
default, the generated system is only 4.2 MB.

The cairo package fails to build on some architectures:
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC is enabled, but libatomic is in fact not
available.
This happens because the gcc logic in libatomic/configure.tgt does not
recognize "uclinux" as a valid OS part of the target tuple, and
therefore it does not build libatomic.
The "uclinux" part of the tuple is used by Buildroot when
BR2_BINFMT_FLAT=y, so we make BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_LIBATOMIC enabled only
if !BR2_BINFMT_FLAT.
It is worth mentioning that support for the uclinux tuple could most
likely very easily be added to gcc: it could rely on the generic
"posix" implementation of libatomic, which uses pthread locks,
available on all architectures where thread support is available.

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.

[Thomas: improve Config.in comment using a suggestion from Yann.]
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

BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_GCC_BUG_58595 and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_GCC_BUG_58854 to

With the recent change in the external toolchain logic to provide only

which were affected by those issues disappeared from Buildroot. Those

Generating locales is possible in two situations:
- With the internal toolchain backend, when the uClibc library is
used. With uClibc, locales are generated at build time of the C
library, so with uClibc it's only possible with the internal
toolchain backend.
- With either the internal or external toolchain backend when the
glibc library is used. With glibc, locales can be generated
afterwards, using the host-localedef utility.
Until we had the musl C library supported in the internal toolchain
backend, the condition: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT ||
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC was correct to capture the above two
situations. Now that we have musl support in the internal toolchain
backend, then BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT is incorrect, and we should use
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_UCLIBC instead.
Basic locale support in musl has appeared in musl 1.1.4, but we are
not yet capable of generating the locale files for musl.

It's now been replaced with BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS, annd all packages have
been changed to use that instead.

The fact that atomic operations are available is not really a
specificity of the toolchain, but rather of the architecture.
So, add a new option that architectures that have atomic operations
can select. This in turn selects the current toolchain atomic option,
until all packages have been converted, at which point the old
toolchain option can be removed.

GCC has several builtin functions that implement atomic operations. Those
functions are architecture specific and may not be implemented by the
specific toolchain. In case of GCC for ARC those functions rely on
LLOCK/SCOND instructions which are optional in ARC CPU's. If ARC CPU doesn't
support those instructions but software tries to use them, then application
will be aborted with Illegal instruction exception. To avoid confusion user
should first specify that their CPU supports atomic extension, which will
allow selection of packages that use builtin atomic functions.

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.

The gconv libraries are used to translate between different character sets
('charsets', even 'csets' sometimes). Some packages need them to present
text to the user (eg. XBMC Gotham).
In (e)glibc they are implemented by the internal implemenation of iconv,
called gconv, and are provided as dlopen-able libraries.
Note that some gconv modules need extra libraries (shared by more than
one gconv module), so we must, when adding a subset of modules, scan the
installed modules in search of the missing libraries.
[Thomas: add general explanation in expunge-gconv-modules and fix
coding style.]
