d3ac2bc616 linux-headers: allow specifying 4.8 as kernel header version
Even though 4.8 is not released yet, some people may want to build a
system using the 4.8-rc kernel, and point to the kernel sources as the
kernel headers to use for the toolchain.

In order to make this possible, this commit adds support for specifying
4.8 as the kernel headers version, in both the internal and external
toolchain logic.

a77e8d275f system: move locale purging options to the "System configuration" menu
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.

6e757a6c5c toolchain: reduce the list of locales to keep by default
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
language. So let's keep only the "C" and "en_US" locales by default,
and leave it to the user to specify other locales to keep if needed.

284cb4fb2e toolchain: purge locales by default
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.

b3d1fb26dc toolchain: libatomic is not built on "uclinux" platforms
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.

Fixes:

6cb4814c87 arch/x86: remove support for i386
The Linux kernel doesn't even support i386 anymore, there is no NPTL
support for i386 and uClibc-ng only supports NPTL on x86, so there is
essentially no usable thread implementation. Most likely glibc and
musl also don't support i386 either. So it's time to remove the
support for this architecture variant.

42735cb9b9 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.

6856e417da 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.

07bb65c657 package, toolchain: remove BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_GCC_BUG_* options
Quite some time ago, we added the options
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_GCC_BUG_58595 and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_GCC_BUG_58854 to
indicate if the toolchain was affected by those gcc bugs, which were
causing build failure with a number of packages.

With the recent change in the external toolchain logic to provide only
the latest version of each toolchain "family", all the toolchains
which were affected by those issues disappeared from Buildroot. Those
options are no longer being selected anywhere, and being blind
options, it means their value is always going to be "disabled".

Conquently, this commit removes those options completely, and updates
all the packages where they were used.

51eaa2ca15 toolchain: make IPv6 mandatory for external toolchains
Remove BR2_INET_IPV6 select for predefined external toolchains.

Remove the (non)IPv6 option prompt since it's now mandatory.

And force the toolchain check now that internal uclibc is always built
with IPv6 support and external non-IPv6 toolchains are disallowed.

bd0ffe2206 toolchain: do not allow BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE with musl
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.

1b5f0fc8df arch: add an option to specify if the arch has atomic ops
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.

cbffd50561 toolchain: Add config option for atomic intrinsics
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.

a930d9cef6 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.

11c1076db9 toolchain: add option to copy the gconv libraries
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.]

a1a86ebfba liburcu: disable build with gcc-4.8.x on ARM
Because of a gcc bug [1], liburcu checks for compiler version [2] and
stops the build prematurely if gcc-4.8.[0-2] is detected for ARM.

However a bug fix exists [3] and may be backported by ARM toolchain
providers; that's what is done in Buildroot [4] or Linaro [5].

So, this change:
- add a patch in liburcu to allow build with ARM gcc-4.8.2;
- adds a new hidden symbol to reflect the toolchain status with regard
  to this bug [1];
- and controls liburcu visibility.

However, a limitation of this is when the user is using a custom
toolchain; that's why the bug details have been added in the liburcu
help message.

a5a309642a toolchain/external: check kernel headers version for custom toolchain
Ensure the kernel headers version used in the custom external toolchain,
or the manually-specified kernel headers version, matches exactly the one
selected by the user.

We do not care about the patch-level, since headers are not supposed to
change between patchlevels. This applies only to kernels >= 3.0, but
those are actually the ones we do care about; we treat all 2.6.x kernels
as being a single version, since we do not support any 2.6 kernels for
packages with kernel-dependant features.

c64f948d2c toolchain: introduce a toolchain knob for NPTL
As our architecture support expands to a number of architectures that
do not implement NPTL threading, and the number of packages that
depend on NPTL specific features, it has become necessary to be able
to know whether the toolchain has NPTL support or not.

This commit adds a new BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_NPTL hidden Config.in
option that allows packages to know whether NPTL is available or not.

This hidden option is:

 * Automatically enabled when glibc/eglibc or musl toolchains are
   used, either internal or external.

 * Automatically enabled when an internal uClibc toolchain with NPTL
   support is configured. It is left disabled otherwise for internal
   uClibc toolchains.

 * Configured according to a visible Config.in option for custom
   external uClibc toolchains.
