Distro toolchains, i.ie. toolchains coing with distributions, will
almost invariably be unsuitable for use with Buildroot:
- they are mostly non-relocatable;
- their sysroot is tainted with a lot of extra libraries.
Especially, the toolchains coming with Ubuntu (really, all the Debian
familly of distros) are configured with --sysroot=/ which makes them
non-relocatable, and they already contain quite some libraries that
conflict (in any combination of version, API or ABI) with what Buildroot
wants to build (i.e. extra libraries, some not even present in
Buildroot...) but also their mere preence when Buildroot does not expect
them to be already built (so that a package would enable features when
it should not).
So, try to detect those toolchains and black-list them; inform the user
that the toolchain is unusable for the reasons mentioned above.

We currently only check that the Buildroot configuration matches what is
available in the toolchain.
Since we're going to remove the check for LFS and make it a mandatory
feature, we will lose the corresponding buildroot option, so we won't be
able to use check_uclibc_feature as-is.
Introduce a magic value passed as the buildroot option name to recognise
checks for mandatory uclibc options that do not have a corresponding
option in buildroot.
If the buildroot option name is empty then the check is against a
mandatory uclibc option.
If a mandatory uclibc option is missing we reject the toolchain as being
unusable by buildroot.

The computation of TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BIN has a special case for
Blackfin, where it's set to
$(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR)/$(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PREFIX)/bin
instead of $(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR)/bin for other
architectures.
However, this is actually only true for Analog Devices pre-built
toolchains. Other Blackfin external toolchains (such as ones built by
Buildroot) do not have this special organization.
Therefore, in order to make those non-ADI Blackfin toolchains work, we
need to change the condition from BR2_bfin to testing specifically for
the ADI toolchains.

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with
LTO support.
Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to
GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag
globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag
if it does.
To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the
usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead
provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way
existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these
wrappers are called <tuple>-gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the
buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain
logic is updated to provide the correct symlink.
[Thomas:
- Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO
support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke
directly into gcc Config.in options.
- Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't
support anymore.
- Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer
mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in
Buildroot anyway.

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

The CodeSourcery toolchains have a very interesting feature: they warn
the user when an unsafe header or library path is used, i.e a path
that will lead host headers or libraries to leak into the build.
This commit adds a similar functionality into our external toolchain
wrapper, so that it can be used with all external toolchains, and can
also be tuned as needed. By default, the external toolchain wrapper
now gives warnings such as:
arm-linux-gcc: WARNING: unsafe header/library path used in cross-compilation: '-I /usr/foo'
arm-linux-gcc: WARNING: unsafe header/library path used in cross-compilation: '-L /usr/bleh'
but the compilation continues successfully. One can then easily grep
in his build log to search for occurences of this message.
Optionally, if BR_COMPILER_PARANOID_UNSAFE_PATH is defined in the
environment to a non empty value, the external wrapper will instead
error out and abort the compilation.

Some crazy folks use MIPS machines as build machines. ;-)
On MIPS, the only acceptable hash-style is 'sysv', because the MIPS ABI
defines that the GOT ordering to be the same as the symbols ordering,
while GNU hash requires symbols to be sorted by their hash.
Looking at binutils' code, it seems that only MIPS suffers from that
limitation.
Currently, we force the toolchain wrapper to be linked with both hash
styles, which breaks on MIPS.
So, fix that by singling out MIPS, and use sysv in that case, and both
otherwise.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

The 2014R1 toolchain is provided in two flavours by Analog Devices:
one based on gcc 4.3.x, which is considered stable, and one based on
gcc 4.5.x, considered experimental. In commit
5a65b8e185 ("toolchain-external: add ADI
Blackfin 2014R1 toolchain, remove 2012R1") both variants were added.
However, after some testing in the autobuilders, and discussion with
the Analog Devices folks, it turns out that the experimental version
of the toolchain is too experimental. It causes numerous build
failures, and the Analog Devices folks clearly say that it's an early
release and that they expect quite a few problems to show up.
Therefore, this commit removes the experimental flavor and keeps only
the stable variant. Note that the removal/renaming of the Config.in
options is not a problem, since those options were added after the
2014.05 release.

When getting the sysroot used for the kernel headers version check,
passing TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CFLAGS causes a problem when used with
multilib toolchains, where only the main sysroot has the header files,
and the other sysroots only have the libraries.
Since the kernel headers version used is normally the same for all
sysroots, this commit solves this problem by removing the
TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CFLAGS argument when calling
toolchain_find_sysroot, so that it returns the main sysroot, in which
<linux/version.h> can be found for the kernel headers version check.

Since the introduction of the kernel headers Config.in options, the
external toolchain logic had a check for custom external toolchains to
verify that the kernel headers version entered by the user matches the
one of the toolchain. However, this check was not made for non-custom
external toolchains (i.e the built-in profiles, such as Linaro,
CodeSourcery and al.), making the assumption that the Buildroot
developers will do the right selection.
However, it is quite nice when bumping external toolchains to have
this automatic kernel headers version check, to ensure we select the
appropriate kernel headers version.
Therefore, this commit makes the kernel headers version check
applicable to non-custom external toolchains.

Currently the check for EABI/EABIhf toolchains looks for the
Tag_ABI_VFP_args attribute in the crt1.o file which gcc adds in an
EABIhf toolchain.
In uClibc, however, crt1.o is not compiled from c but assembly, so the
Tag_ABI_VFP_args attribute is not added in the object file. This causes
the EABIhf check in the external toolchain logic to fail for
uClibc-based toolchains.
Fix by compiling a dummy .c file and trying to link the object against the
C library. Since it is impossible to mix EABI and EABIhf code, a mismatch
between the buildroot and toolchain ABI settings will be detected during
this link step.

This commit slightly improves the external toolchain backend, and the
gdb build logic to create a file named
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/buildroot/gdbinit which can be used as a
gdbinit file using gdb -x option. This allows gdb to automatically use
the proper sysroot to find libraries.
The initial insight for this patch comes from the report of Oded
Hanson <OHanson@xsightsys.com>, who found an issue with the Eclipse
Buildroot plugin, which was setting a solib-path in gdb, but not a
sysroot. Setting a solib-path was enough to find shared libraries, but
not the dynamic linker. And since Eclipse doesn't allow to set the
sysroot in any other way than giving a gdbinit file, it makes sense to
have Buildroot generate a gdbinit file (which can be used in other
situations than Eclipse).
To achieve this, this commit introduces a gen_gdbinit_file helper in
toolchain/helpers.mk, and uses it for the internal toolchain and
external toolchain backends.

The Nios-II Sourcery external toolchain (the only Nios-II we currently
support) exports broken kernel headers. In particular, these kernels should
be exported using the "headers_install" rule which applies a set of fixes
on the kernel headers so they are suitable for userspace usage.
In order to fix this, add a post-install hook to perform the header fixes
ourselves. The result is equivalent to apply the "headers_install" rule.

Old toolchains, with old gcc that do not support -print-sysroot, break the
kernel-headers version check script: it fails to find the sysroot of the
toolchain, and thus ends up including the host's linux/version.h.
Most of the time, this will break early, since the host's kernel headers
will not match the toolchain settings.
But it can happen that the check is succesful, although the configuration
of the toolchain is wrong:
- the custom toolchain has kernel headers vX.Y
- the user selected vX.Z (Z!=Y)
- the host has headers vX.Y
In this case, the check passes OK, but the build of some packages later on
will break (which is exactly what those _AT_LEAST_XXX options were added to
avoid).
Fix that by passing the sysroot to the check script, instead of the cross
compiler.
We get the sysroot as thus:
- for custom toolchains, we use the macro toolchain_find_sysroot. We can
do that, because we already have a complete sysroot with libc.a at that
time.
- for internal toolchain using a custom kernel headers version, we just
use $(STAGING_DIR). We can't use the macro as for custom toolchains
above, because at the time we install the kernel headers, we do not yet
have a complete sysroot with a libc.a. But we can just use
$(STAGING_DIR), since we're only interested in the kernel headers.
For all other types of toolchains, we already have the _AT_LEAST_XXX options
properly set, so we need not add a check in this case.

Since we introduced the _AT_LEAST_XXX for the kernel headers, people
using pre-built custom toolchain now have to specify the version of
the kernel headers their custom toolchain uses.
So, when we detect that there is a mismatch between the selection in
the menuconfig, and the actual version of the headers, we currently
only bail out with a terse message "Incorrect selection of kernel
headers".
This could be confusing some, and getting the version of the headers
used by the toolchain is not trivial (well, it's very easy, but not
trivial.)
This patch changes the way we report the error by moving the message
into the test-code, and by printing the expected and actual versions
of the kernel headers.
BUT! To get this pretty error message, we need to run the
test-program, so we can not use the cross-toolchain, we have to use
the native one.
BUT! The native one has its own linux/version.h header, so we can not
simply include it.
So, we ask the cross-compiler where its default sysroot is, and use
that to then force-feed the cross linux/version.h to the native
toolchain.

* Automatically enabled when an internal uClibc toolchain with NPTL

stage.
As example with this commit we can build successfully the glibc right
after the clean stage:
make clean glibc
This is also a step forward supporting top-level parallel make.

glibc 2.19 has been released recently
(https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00224.html). This
commit allows to build a toolchain with this new version. In order to
allow this, we add a version selection that did not exist for
glibc. We default to 2.18, which was the only supported version until
now, and add an option for 2.19.
For microblaze, which uses a specific glibc version, the version
selection choice is not displayed.

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.

very old, and are causing a huge number of build issues. Thanks to

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
cross-gdb+gdbserver is used, but also when the native gdb is used on
the target. As a consequence, this patch modifies the glibc package
and the external toolchain logic to ensure that libthread_db is copied
to the target either when the native gdb or gdbserver is enabled, by
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
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

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.

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.

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.

This commit fixes bug #6452 (eglibc from Linaro 2013.07 not copied to
target correctly) by:
* Copying only the relevant library loader to the target on ARMhf
(i.e ld-linux-armhf.so and not ld.so*). This is needed since Linaro
toolchains provide two library loaders, one ARMv7 hf, and one ARMv4
soft-float.
* Making sure a $(TARGET_DIR)/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ symbolic link
to $(TARGET_DIR)/lib/ exists, since the dynamic loader of Linaro
toolchains expects libraries to be found in
$(TARGET_DIR)/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/.

The copy_toolchain_lib_root function is responsible for copying a
given library (and its symbolic link) to the target filesystem. To do
so, it looks for the library in various locations, and then iterates
over the symbolic link all the way to the library, copying them as
needed to the target filesystem.
However, the latest Linaro toolchains bring an interesting use case:
the lib/ directory in the toolchain is organized as follows:
- ld-linux.so.3 -> arm-linux-gnueabi/ld-2.17...so
- ld-linux-armhf.so.3 -> arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.17...so
- arm-linux-gnueabi/
- all ARMv4T soft float libraries
- arm-linux-gnueabihf/
- all ARMv7 hard float libraries
In order to match what we do with all other toolchains, we want all
those libraries and symbolic links to be copied directly under
$(TARGET_DIR)/lib. This commit does that by adjusting the copy logic.
This is part of the fix for bug #6452 (eglibc from Linaro 2013.07 not
copied to target correctly).
