Joseph Myers	139ace9575	Require Linux kernel 3.2 or later on x86 / x86_64. ... As per the recent discussion, this patch implements a requirement for Linux 3.2 or later for x86 and x86_64. This is only the initial change to increase the configured minimum; it's expected that followup patches would deal with associated removal of conditionals that are no longer needed. If we remove the start-up test on the kernel version, of course the NEWS and README text should then be revised (to reflect that this version is just one such that glibc does not intend to include compatibility code for any older kernel version, rather than older kernels necessarily failing to work or glibc necessarily having compatibility code for newer interfaces). The followups would be able to assume presence of getcpu (x86_64), recvmmsg (not always through its own syscall, sometimes only through socketcall), sendmmsg (likewise), /proc/$pid/task/$tid/comm, f_flags from statfs, prlimit64. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure: Regenerated. * README: Update statement about Linux kernel requirements.	2017-05-08 10:45:20 +00:00
Adhemerval Zanella	3b33d6ed60	Rework -fno-omit-frame-pointer support on i386 ... Commit 6b1df8b27f fixed the -OS build issue on i386 (BZ#20729) by expliciting disabling frame pointer (-fomit-frame-pointer) on the faulty objects. Although it does fix the issue, it is a subpar workaround that adds complexity in build process (a rule for each object to add the required compiler option and pontentially more rules for objects that call {INLINE,INTERNAL}_SYSCALL) and does not allow the implementations to get all the possible debug/calltrack information possible (used mainly in debuggers and performance measurement tools). This patch fixes it by adding an explicit configure check to see if -fno-omit-frame-pointer is set and to act accordingly (set or not OPTIMIZE_FOR_GCC_5). The make rules is simplified and only one is required: to add libc-do-syscall on loader due mmap (which will be empty anyway for default build with -fomit-frame-pointer). Checked on i386-linux-gnu with GCC 6.2.1 with CFLAGS sets as '-Os', '-O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer', and '-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer'. For '-Os' the testsuite issues described by BZ#19463 and BZ#15105 still applied. It fixes BZ #21029, although it is marked as duplicated of #20729 (I reopened to track this cleanup).

Joseph Myers	5b4ecd3f95	Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere. ... In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL. In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the kernel version for guest software, as discussed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2 kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch. (x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.) As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_* or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Define to 3.2.0.

Joseph Myers	0ea5d373c7	Move architecture cases out of sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac. ... Continuing the process of making non-ex-ports architectures follow the preferred sysdeps practices followed by ex-ports architectures - that is, putting things in architecture-specific sysdeps files rather than having architecture-specific cases in architecture-independent files - this patch moves architecture cases out of sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac into (new or existing) configure fragments for each architecture. (In the case of the arch_minimum_kernel setting for x32, sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/configure already has such a setting so the setting in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac was a duplicate that could just be removed - though I haven't tested for x32.) Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the patch causes no changes to the installed shared libraries or ldd (or any part of the installation except for the parts that always change because the files contain timestamps - nscd and static libraries). * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac: Remove cases for individual architectures. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: New generated file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/configure.ac (ldd_rewrite_script): Define variable. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/configure.ac: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/configure: New generated file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/configure.ac: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/configure: New generated file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sh/configure.ac: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sh/configure: New generated file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/configure.ac: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/configure: New generated file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/configure.ac: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/configure: New generated file.	2014-06-24 20:53:03 +00:00
