e25d704e10 arch/mips: inverse the mfpxx logic
Currently, the possibility to choose the floating point mode (32, xx or
64) is conditional on having a sufficiently recent gcc version.

Which means that the architecture selection depends on the gcc version.

But that's opposite to what we've always done in Buildroot: the software
versions are conditional to the architecture options. There is nothing
we can do about the hardware: it is there, we can't change it, while we
can restrict ourselves to using software that is working on said
hardware.

Thus, we inverse the logic, to move the condition onto the software
side: whenever mfpxx is selected, we restrict the toolchain selection to
at least a gcc-5.

And now, the blind BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_MFPXX_OPTION symbol is no longer
needed, so we get rid of it.

087be35e22 arch/mips: add option for toolchains supporting -mfpxx
-mfpxx option was added in gcc-5.1.0 so make sure that users cannot
select the "xx" fp32 mode when using toolchains that have a gcc older
than 5.1.0.

-mfp32 and -mfp64 were added in gcc-4.1.0, so given the older gcc
version we support in Buildroot (in the GCC_AT_LEAST options) is 4.3 we
don't need to do anything else for them.

____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.

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.

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

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.

support for i386 and uClibc-ng only supports NPTL on x86, so there is
essentially no usable thread implementation. Most likely glibc and

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.

 (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:

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.

This commit adds a number of hidden Config.in options, that will be

that was used for the kernel headers dependency mechanism.

These hidden options will be selected by the internal and external
toolchain backend logic respectively, in follow-up commits.

Also, nowadays, using -pipe does not gain as much as it used to back in
