Since we switched to a two stage gcc build process, the AVR32
toolchain stopped building. This is because with such an old gcc
version, we cannot use the all-target-libgcc and install-target-libgcc
targets.
Before the two stage gcc, libgcc was only built in gcc-intermediate,
which carried a similar logic. This commit basically restores in
gcc-initial the logic that used to be in gcc-intermediate, which
consists in using the all-target-libcc and install-target-libgcc
targets only for gcc versions others than the AVR32 one.
Using the BR2_GCC_SUPPORTS_FINEGRAINEDMTUNE option has a way of
distinguishing the old AVR32 compiler from the other gcc versions is a
bit ugly, but it's what was done in gcc-intermediate before. And since
the AVR32 support is due to go away at some point in the hopefully
near future, we don't care that much.
This will fix the build of the two AVR32 defconfig that have been
constantly failing since switching to the two stage gcc process.

Symptoms usually seen are like that:
--->---
Error: operand out of range (128 is not between -128 and 127)
--->---
where range may differ.
Since compiler tries to use jump/branch instructions with the shortest encoding
of offset it's important to calculate required offset properly.
In case of miscalculation by compiler later assembler throws an error because of
inability to encode requested value.
Fixes are taken from current development branch of GCC for ARC and will be a
part of the next release of ARC tools, so at that point patch should be dropped.

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and
does not align the assignment symbols.
This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package
infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable
names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched.
Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is.
The sed command used to do this replacement is:
find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*$#\1 \2#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\]\+\)$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\)\s*$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\(\s*\\\)#\1 \2\3#'
Brief explanation of this command:
^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\) a regular variable at the beginning of the line
\([?:+]\?=\) any assignment character =, :=, ?=, +=
\([^\\]\+\) any string not containing a line continuation
\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\) string, optional whitespace, followed by a
line continuation character
\(\s*\\\) optional whitespace, followed by a line
continuation character
Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second
handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with
line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line
continuation.
This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not
included)
FOO = spaces before
FOO = spaces before and after
FOO = tab before
FOO = tab and spaces before
FOO = tab after
FOO = tab and spaces after
FOO = spaces and tab after
FOO = \
FOO = bar \
FOO = bar space \
FOO = \
GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse
FOO += spaces before
FOO ?= spaces before and after
FOO :=
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
$(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C
AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \
AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0
After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done:
- fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed
expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line
continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have
changed, causing misalignment.
- qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which
actually makes the code more readable.
Finally, the end result was manually reviewed.

While the autotools infrastructure was using FOO_MAKE_OPT, generic packages
were typically using FOO_MAKE_OPTS. This inconsistency becomes a problem
when a new infrastructure is introduced that wants to make use of
FOO_MAKE_OPT(S), and can live alongside either generic-package or
autotools-package. The new infrastructure will have to choose between either
OPT or OPTS, and thus rule out transparent usage by respectively generic
packages or generic packages. An example of such an infrastructure is
kconfig-package, which provides kconfig-related make targets.
The OPTS variant is more logical, as there are typically multiple options.
This patch renames all occurrences of FOO_MAKE_OPT in FOO_MAKE_OPTS.

Currently, the internal toolchain backend does a three stage gcc
build, with the following sequence of builds:
- build gcc-initial
- configure libc, install headers and start files
- build gcc-intermediate
- build libc
- build gcc-final
However, it turns out that this is not necessary, and only a two stage
gcc build is needed. At some point, it was believed that a three stage
gcc build was needed for NPTL based toolchains with old gcc versions,
but even a gcc 4.4 build with a NPTL toolchain works fine.
So, this commit switches the internal toolchain backend to use a two
stage gcc build: just gcc-initial and gcc-final. It does so by:
* Removing the custom dependency of all C libraries build step to
host-gcc-intermediate. Now the C library packages simply have to
depend on host-gcc-initial as a normal dependency (which they
already do), and that's it.
* Build and install both gcc *and* libgcc in
host-gcc-initial. Previously, only gcc was built and installed in
host-gcc-initial. libgcc was only done in host-gcc-intermediate,
but now we need libgcc to build the C library.
* Pass appropriate environment variables to get SSP (Stack Smashing
Protection) to work properly:
- Tell the compiler that the libc will provide the SSP support, by
passing gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes. In Buildroot, we have
chosen to use the SSP support from the C library instead of the
SSP support from the compiler (this is not changed by this patch
series, it was already the case).
- Tell glibc to *not* build its own programs with SSP support. The
issue is that if glibc detects that the compiler supports
-fstack-protector, then glibc uses it to build a few things with
SSP. However, at this point, the support is not complete (we
only have host-gcc-initial, and the C library is not completely
built). So, we pass libc_cv_ssp=no to tell the C library to not
use SSP support itself. Note that this is not a big loss: only a
few parts of the C library were built with -fstack-protector,
not the entire library.
* A special change is needed for ARC, because its libgcc depends on
the C library, which breaks building libgcc in
host-gcc-initial. This looks like a bug in the ARC compiler, as it
does not obey the inhibit_libc variable which tells the compiler
build process to *not* enable things that depend on the C
library. So for now, in host-gcc-initial, we simply disable the
build of libgmon.a for ARC. It's going to be built as part of
host-gcc-final, so the final compiler will have gmon support.

Following the introduction of the support for the musl C library, the
support of C++ exceptions or features like pthread_exit() got broken
even with other libraries such as glibc. This was reported as bug #7028.
The problem was caused by the gcc patch needed to add support for
musl, which modified the libgcc/unwind-dw2-fde-dip.c logic to decide
whether USE_PT_GNU_EH_FRAME should be enabled or not. It completely
removed the existing logic, replacing it by a single logic based on
the definition of TARGET_DL_ITERATE_PHDR. However, this constant gets
defined by the configure script only for Solaris, or Linux Musl
platforms. For glibc/uClibc, the configure script does not define it,
and therefore USE_PT_GNU_EH_FRAME is not defined, causing issues with
exception handling.
This patch fixes that by restoring all the logic of
libgcc/unwind-dw2-fde-dip.c, and just adding the musl logic as one
more case.
It has been successfully runtime tested using the two code examples
provided in bug #7208, with uClibc, musl and glibc.

Those gcc series are old and are not used as the default versions for
any of the architectures we support, so this commit gets rid of them.
The gcc 4.3.x series technically remains used by the LPC32xx
defconfigs we have:

configs/phy3250_defconfig:BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3_X=y
Back when those defconfigs were introduced, gcc 4.3 was chosen because
it was the only one capable of building a fully working kernel for
those ARM-based platforms. However, the original submitter, Alexandre
Belloni, no longer has access to the hardware platforms, so he is
unable to test if newer gcc versions have fixed the problem. It
certainly doesn't make sense to keep gcc 4.3.x just for those three
boards, so we'll wait for someone actually using those defconfigs to
complain.

The xtensa port uses __xtensa_libgcc_window_spill in libgcc to implement
__builtin_frame_address. This symbol is local/hidden in libgcc. This is not a
problem when linking against static libgcc. But g++ defaults to
-shared-libgcc, thus breaking link against C++ shared libraries that are using
__builtin_frame_address as follows:

Add upstream patches that make libgcc_s.so a linker script that links in

Our current stripping strategy requires that shared libraries have the
executable permission. However, this is by far not something
recognized as a standard behavior: Debian/Ubuntu distributions for
example do not have executable permissions on their
libraries. Therefore, pushing to upstream packages fixes that add the
executable permissions is not easy.
As a result, this commit improves the stripping logic so that it not
only strips the files that are executable, but also the ones that
match '*.so*', which should match both the shared libraries and the
dlopen()'able plugins, as long as they have a .so extension.
Thanks to this addition, a number of manual "chmod +x" done by various
packages can be removed.

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 mudflap library is only useful if one uses the -fmudflap gcc
option to do more checks on pointers/arrays. This commit adds an
option to enable/disable mudflap support at the gcc level. By default,
it is disabled, which saves a little bit of build time compared to the
default of gcc which consists in enabling mudflap support.
Since mudflap is now disabled by default, and ensured to never be enabled

disable mudflap in problematic configurations can be removed.

When NPTL support was introduced, gcc required a three stages build
process. Since gcc 4.7, this is no longer necessary, and it is
possible to get back to a two stages build process. This patch takes
advantage of this, by doing a two stages build process when possible.
We introduce a few hidden kconfig options:
* BR2_GCC_VERSION_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which is set by the gcc
Config.in logic to indicate that the compiler might need a three
stages build. Currently, all versions prior to 4.7.x are selecting
this kconfig option.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_LIBC_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which indicates whether
the C library might need a three stages build. This is the case for
eglibc, and uClibc when NPTL is enabled.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD finally is enabled when both
of the previous options are enabled. It indicates that a three
stages build is actually needed.
In addition to those options, the uClibc/gcc build logic is changed to
use only a two stages build process when possible.

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.

When refactoring the internal toolchain backend logic, the code was
changed to pass the custom configure options given through
BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS only for the gcc final pass, with the
idea that we're only interested by user customization for the final
compiler.
However, the beaglebone_defconfig was passing --with-float=hard
--with-fpu=vfpv3-d16 as BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS, and since the
refactoring, it was causing build failures of the beaglebone_defconfig
(with messages saying that Busybox is built to use VFP arguments, but
libc/libm are not). This is due to the fact that the gcc intermediate,
which is used to build the C library, wasn't built to generate hard
float, while the final compiler was generating hard float.
So, we get back to the original situation where the options in
BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS are passed to all of the compiler
passes. Of course, the specific case of hard float will be fixed by
following patches in this area, but the idea still remains: the three
gcc should have the same options, if those options affected the ABI of

Commit 6b48b48034 ("add a know to enable/disable building a shared
libgcc"), from october 2006, isn't really as to why a
BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC option was needed. However, now that gcc has
been converted to the package infrastructure, it causes problems
because the host packages are always being passed --enable-shared
--disable-static, so re-adding --disable-shared on top of that break
things.
Moreover, our tests indicate that both a shared *and* a static version
of libgcc are built, and that linking dynamically and statically a
program that uses libgcc_s gives correct results: dynamically linked
against libgcc_s in the first case, statically linked in the second
case.
Therefore, it appears that this option is no longer necessary, and
removing it has the advantage of fixing the builds of
qemu_mips64_malta_defconfig and qemu_sparc_ss10_defconfig, both of
which had BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC not enabled.
