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.

In our wrapper, we forcibly add the -march=, -mcpu= and-mtune= flags
to the actual compiler, this in an attempt to always generate correct
and optimised code for the target.
But in some cases, the caller knows better than we do, and passes its
own set, or subset of those flags. In this case, some may conflict with
the ones we pass. The most prominent offender being the Linux kernel.
For example, on the ARM Raspberry Pi, the Linux kernel will set the
-march=armv6 flag and no -mcpu= flag, but we pass -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s,
which conflicts:
drivers/scsi/scsi_trace.c:1:0: warning: switch -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s
conflicts with -march=armv6 switch
(and so for all the files the kernel compiles, pretty messy)
(note: arm1176jzf-s is not an armv6, it is an armv6zk. Yeah...)
To avoid this situation, we scan our commandline for any occurence of
the possibly conflicting flags. If none is found, then we add our owns.
If any is found, then we don't add any of our owns.
The idea behind this is that we trust the caller to know better than
we do what it is doing. Since the biggest, and sole so far, offender
is the Linux kernel, then this is a rather safe bet.

In a1d94aaa3a ('toolchain-external: add support for musl C
library'), we made the following change to the SYSROOT_DIR mangling
logic:
- SYSROOT_DIR=`echo $${LIBC_A_LOCATION} | sed -r -e 's:usr/lib(32|64)?/(.*/)?libc\.a::'` ; \
+ SYSROOT_DIR=`echo $${LIBC_A_LOCATION} | sed -r -e 's:(usr/)?lib(32|64)?/(.*/)?libc\.a::'` ; \
This was needed to accomodate for musl based toolchains that don't
have libc.a in usr/lib/..., but directory in lib/... Basically, the
change makes the usr/ at the beginning optional.
However, with the very permissive (.*) matching in the middle of the
path, the change above had an unexpected consequence: any path contain
'/lib' would be truncated before this lib. As an example, Peter
reported that his builds, running from /var/lib/buildbot/ were no
longer working because the SYSROOT_DIR was decided to be /var instead
of something like
/var/lib/buildbot/buildroot/output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/.
So, this commit changes (again!) this regexp by changing (.*) to
([^/]*), the idea being that it will match only *one* path
component. Note that this intermediate (.*) directory was added in
e6e60becb0 ('external-toolchain: add support for Linaro 2012.01') to
accomodate for Linaro toolchains that have a subdirectory in their
sysroot named after the target tuple:
$ ./output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -print-file-name=libc.a
/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.a
In addition to this, this commit also makes sure that the change
making usr/ optional is properly reported on all the instances of this
regular expression.

As Samuel Martin noticed, libthread_db is not only needed when

the target. As a consequence, this patch modifies the glibc package
and the external toolchain logic to ensure that libthread_db is copied

relying on the BR2_PACKAGE_GDB option, which is enabled when native
gdb and/or gdbserver are enabled.

Maxime Ripard reported that the Linaro toolchains were not visible

In 11ec38b695 ("toolchain-external: fix Linaro ARM toolchain
support"), we fixed the support for Linaro EABIhf toolchains by adding
a /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf -> /lib symbolic link. This is needed
because the dynamic loader looks for libraries in
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf rather than the usual /lib, but Buildroot
installs all libraries in /lib.
However, we forgot that the dynamic loader also loads libraries from
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf rather than /usr/lib, so this patch fixes
that by adding the necessary symbolic link.

The Angstrom toolchains available at
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/toolchains/ are not usable as
external toolchains in Buildroot, because they are not pure toolchains
with just the C library, but instead complete SDKs with many
cross-compiled libraries (Gtk, Qt, glib, neon, sqlite, X.org, and many
more, approximately 200 MB of libraries).
Buildroot cannot use such toolchains, and while this is documented in
our manual, some users still try to do this. Today, one such user came
on the IRC channel, reporting a build problem, which we started
investigating, only to realize after a long time that he was using an
Angstrom toolchain.
To avoid this problem in the future, we explicitly check if the
toolchain is from Angstrom by looking at the vendor part of the tuple
exposed by the toolchain: as soon as it is
<something>-angstrom-<something-else>, we reject the toolchain with an
explanation.

toolchains provide two library loaders, one ARMv7 hf, and one ARMv4
soft-float.
* Making sure a $(TARGET_DIR)/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ symbolic link

Note that the pre-built musl toolchains available from

Until now, the copy_toolchain_lib_root function took as argument the
base name of a library (e.g: libm.so), and was assuming that the usual
scheme libm.so.<x> being a symbolic link to the real library was used.
However, with musl based toolchains, the C library is named libc.so
directly, with no symbolic link at all. Therefore, this commit changes
the copy_toolchain_lib_root to move the responsibility of using a
wildcard or not after the library name the caller's responsibility.
So, all the existing LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS values are modified to have a
.* at the end, so that the behavior is effectively unchanged.

The external toolchain code makes the assumption that all C libraries
have a ld*.so, libc.so, libcrypt.so, libdl.so, libgcc_s.so, libm.so,
libnsl.so, libresolv.so, libutil.so, and when thread support is
enabled, libpthread.so, etc.
However, this is not the case with the musl C library, which
integrates all the functionalities in a single libc.so file. In
preparation of the support of the musl library, we make the current
value of LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS conditional to glibc or uClibc.
The addition of additional libraries through
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_LIBS is kept outside the condition, at

In case there are many arguments passed to the tools, the command line
can get very long, and difficult to parse visually.
For example, the Linux kernel passes a lot of arguments to gcc (at least
45, which gives 53 with our hard-coded args). Looking at such a command
line is daunting.
So, add the possibility to print each argument on its own line.
Also, enclose all args between single quotes, so the command line
can be safely copy-pasted without special chars (spaces, $) being
inrerpreted by the shell.

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,

The external-toolchain infrastructure creates symbolic links for all
tools in the host directory. However, when buildroot builds its own
version of a cross debugger (BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB), and the toolchain
also provides a cross debugger, there would be two symbolic links for
gdb in the host directory, which is confusing.
An example use case is where the external toolchain only provides a
64-bit gdbserver (e.g. Cavium Networks SDK) but the target is completely
32-bit (e.g. n32 ABI). In this case, using gdbserver on target requires
copying a bunch of 64-bit libraries to the target as well, just for gdb.
In this case, one can let buildroot build both gdbserver as cross-gdb
(both in 32-bit).
This patch modifies the symlink creation so that no gdb (or gdbtui)
symlink is created if buildroot is going to build a cross-gdb.

Following the introduction of the support of EABIhf as a second ARM
ABI, it is important to check whether the external toolchain provided
by the user actually uses the ABI that has been selected in the
Buildroot configuration. This commit introduces such a check by
looking at the 'Tag_ABI_VFP_args' tag of the architecture-specific
section of the ELF headers. This assumes that ELF is the binary format
used on ARM, which may not be the case on ARM noMMU systems (they use
the FLAT binary format), but Buildroot doesn't have support for such
systems at the moment.
Also ensure the correct CFLAGS are passed to the cross compiler for the
test, so the correct variant is used in case the toolchain is multilib.

Until now, we were using the default ARM instruction set, as used by
the toolchain: the 32 bits ARM instruction set for the internal
backend, and for external toolchain, whatever default was chosen when
the toolchain was generated.
This commit adds support for the Thumb2 instruction set. To do so, it:
* provides a menuconfig choice between ARM and Thumb2. The choice is
only shown when Thumb2 is supported, i.e on ARMv7-A CPUs.
* passes the --with-mode={arm,thumb} option when building gcc in the
internal backend. This tells the compiler which type of
instructions it should generate.
* passes the m{arm,thumb} option in the external toolchain
wrapper. ARM and Thumb2 code can freely be mixed together, so the
fact that the C library has been built either ARM or Thumb2 and
that the rest of the code is built Thumb2 or ARM is not a problem.

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.

Buildroot already has the BR2_GCC_TARGET_{TUNE,ARCH,ABI,CPU} hidden
kconfig strings that allow per-architecture Config.in files to feed
the appropriate values of --with-{tune,arch,abi-cpu} when building
gcc, or the appropriate flags for the external toolchain wrapper.
This commit has two additional options:
BR2_GCC_TARGET_{FPU,FLOAT_ABI}, that allows to define the
--with-{fpu,float} gcc configure options for the internal backend, or
the -m{fpu,float-abi} options for the flags of the external toolchain
wrapper.

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.

The external toolchain logic checks (and finds) the proper ARCH_LIB_DIR
and forcibly copies it to */lib even if it's in */lib64
This is all well until the check is done for create_lib64_symlinks which
only verifies if ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR/lib64 is a symlink, which in some
toolchain it's a real directory (like sourcery x86_64 2012.09) and thus
doesn't make the symlink in the target.
Fix this by also checking for a real directory.
Easily reproducible by running "make qemu_x86_64_defconfig", switching
to an external toolchain before build, building and then trying to run
the resulting image.

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.

The external toolchain wrapper sets sysroot etc. to an absolute path.
By changing this to a relative path, it is possible to move the host
directory to a different location and still have a working build
system.
This only works for a downloaded external toolchain. For a pre-installed
external toolchain, it is possible to move the host directory to a
different location, but not the external toolchain directory (it does work
if the external toolchain directory lies within the host directory). For
an internal or crosstool-ng toolchain, there is no wrapper so updating the
sysroot path should be done in a different way.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-February/050371.html
for information about others things to do to make the host directory
relocatable.
