AMD Jaguar ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_%28microarchitecture%29 ) is
suddenly a popular architecture since it is used in the PS4 and the XBox One.
Many embedded systems are also likely to use it in the next years.
This patch adds support for GCC architecture-specific optimisations and
tuning for these CPUs.
These optimizations are available with GCC 4.8+.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

The Xilinx Microblaze external toolchains that we had support for are
very old, and are causing a huge number of build issues. Thanks to
Spenser Gilliland, we now have support for Microblaze in the internal
toolchain backend, and the autobuilders have been using the internal
toolchain backend since then. Therefore, it's time to deprecate those
old and unusable external toolchains.

Maxime Ripard reported that the Linaro toolchains were not visible
when selecting a Cortex-A, but forgetting to set the EABI to
EABIhf. While this is expected, Buildroot should normally should a
comment in this case. However, the comment is only visible when the
selected ARM architecture is not ARMv7 *and* the EABI is not
EABIhf. Instead, make the comment visible when either the selected
architecture is not ARMv7 *or* when the selected EABI is not EABIhf.
While we're at it, reword the comment text so that it actually fits
within the limits of the menuconfig screen.

Previously, an external-toolchain on a mipsel/mips64el target
didn't select the appriopriate endianness but
it asked the user to set the correct CFLAGS on his/her own.
We fix this by appending "-EL" to the toolchain wrapper options
if the user has selected a mipsel/mips64el target.
[Thomas: remove unneeded test on BR2_ENDIAN, since mipsel and mips64el
are always little-endian, and add the corresponding big endian case.]

This commit adds support for external toolchains based on the musl C
library, as available from http://www.musl-libc.org.
Note that the pre-built musl toolchains available from
http://musl.codu.org/ are not working for the moment, since they lack
sysroot support. However, this problem has been reported to the
maintainer, who has already added sysroot support in his scripts at
https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross, and therefore the next
version of the pre-built toolchains should work with Buildroot
out-of-the-box. In the mean time, the musl-cross script must be used
to build the toolchain.

This commit refactors how Stack Smashing Protection support is handled
in Buildroot:
*) It turns the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP option into an option
that only enables the SSP support in uClibc, when using the internal
toolchain backend.
*) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP
support.
*) It adds a new options BR2_ENABLE_SSP in the "Build options" menu,
to enable the usage of SSP support, by adding
-fstack-protector-all to the CFLAGS.

The introduction of the EABIhf ABI requires a few updates to the
configuration options for external toolchains, in order to ensure that
the user doesn't do any invalid selection. In detail:
* The Linaro ARM toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABIHF, because
that's the ABI they use, and it is incompatible with EABI. The
comment about the availability of Linaro toolchains is updated to
inform users selecting EABI that they should select EABIhf if they
want to see Linaro toolchains.
* The Sourcery CodeBench toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABI,
because that's the ABI they use. A comment is added to inform users
that have selected EABIhf that Sourcery CodeBench are only
available when EABI is used.
* The Arago toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABI, because that's the
ABI they use. The description of the ARMv7 Arago toolchain is also
slightly improved.

Currently, when we need to do a conditional on the type of C library
used, we need to take into account the three toolchain backends. As we
are going to add eglibc support to the Buildroot toolchain backend, it
would become even uglier, so this patch introduces two new hidden
options: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, that
exist regardless of the toolchain backend. The entire Buildroot code
base is converted to use those options.
Note that we have intentionally created only one option
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC) for both glibc and eglibc, since they are
essentially the same, as far as Buildroot is concerned.

For certain situations, users may want to install shared FLAT
libraries to the target filesystem even if FDPIC is used as the
primary binary format, or symmetrically users may want to install FDPIC
libraries to the target filesystem even if shared FLAT is used as the
primary binary format.
This commit allows that by:
* Offering additional Kconfig options to install shared FLAT or FDPIC
libraries even when those libraries are not selected as the primary
binary format.
* Preserving all Blackfin toolchain folders under the
TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DIR, instead of keeping only the one related to
the selected binary format.
* Adding some additional install targets that do the installation of
either the shared FLAT or FDPIC libraries when requested.

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).

The existing Microblaze toolchains that we have have the annoying
property of being based on a very old glibc version: 2.3.6. Xilinx
provides newer toolchains with glibc 2.14, generated by Crosstool-NG,
but they are only available as part of a huge Git repository that
contains the gcc, Linux, binutils, glibc sources unpacked (4.4 GB
total), which makes is very unpractical.
I contacted the Xilinx person who did those toolchains, but they
apparently didn't intend to change that anytime soon.
So, we have created a tarball for those toolchains, adding a
README.txt file in the tarball that points back to the original
location that contains the source code for them. Those tarballs are
hosted on sources.buildroot.net.
This commit then adds support for those two new external toolchains,
one for little endian Microblaze, another one for big endian
Microblaze.
