This updates the default GCC version used in build-many-glibcs.py when
no version is specified explicitly. I'm replacing my bot using GCC 8
with one using GCC 10 (leaving the GCC 9 and GCC mainline bots running
as at present).
Linux 5.5 remove the system call in commit
61a47c1ad3a4dc6882f01ebdc88138ac62d0df03 ("Linux: Remove
<sys/sysctl.h>"). Therefore, the compat function is just a stub that
sets ENOSYS.
Due to SHLIB_COMPAT, new ports will not add the sysctl function anymore
automatically.
x32 already lacks the sysctl function, so an empty sysctl.c file is
used to suppress it. Otherwise, a new compat symbol would be added.

This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py use the current versions of
Linux (5.6) and GMP (6.2.0).
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (host-libraries, compilers and glibcs
builds).
The history is not used by build-many-glibcs.py itself.
--replace-sources deletes an existing source tree before switching
the version. But some users prefer to have the full history
available, therefore make shallow clones optional with the --shallow
option.
Writable, executable segments defeat security hardening. The
existing check for DT_TEXTREL does not catch this.
hppa and SPARC currently keep the PLT in an RWX load segment.
A non-ascii character in the installed headers leads now to:
error: failure to convert ascii to UTF-8
Such a finding in s390 specific fenv.h leads to fails in GCC testsuite.
See glibc commit 08aea89ef6.
Adding this gcc option also to our tests was proposed by Florian Weimer.
This change also found a hit in resource.h where now "microseconds" is used.
I've adjusted all the resource.h files.
I've used the following command to check for further hits in headers.
LC_ALL=C find -name "*.h" -exec grep -PHn "[\x80-\xFF]" {} \;
Tested on s390x and x86_64.

Now that binutils-gdb has gdbserver at top level, an extra
--disable-gdbserver configure option is needed when configuring
binutils from a git checkout to avoid it also building gdbserver
unnecessarily (although fairly harmlessly). This patch updates the
options used in build-many-glibcs.py accordingly (although this might
end up not being needed depending on what happens regarding whether
gdbserver gets built for host != target).
Tested with a build-many-glibcs.py compilers build for
aarch64-linux-gnu using binutils-gdb master.
The ChangeLog automation scripts were incorporated in gnulib as
vcs-to-changelog for a while now since other projects expressed the
desire to use and extend this script. In the interest of avoiding
duplication of code, drop the glibc version of gitlog-to-changelog and
use the gnulib one directly.
The only file that remains is vcstocl_quirks.py, which specifies
properties and quirks of the glibc project source code. This patch
also drops the shebang at the start of vcstocl_quirks.py since the
file is not intended to be directly executable.
This patch updates build-many-glibcs.py for the move of GCC to git,
teaching it to do the initial checkout from git, to replace an SVN
checkout with a git one if --replace-sources is used, and to get the
commit identifier from a git checkout after updating it.
Add another newline when the number of files differing is too large.
This is typical for across-the-board changes such as the copyright
year update that happened recently.
Hurd uses an empty prefix, so the linker scripts end up in /lib, the
find command picked them up, and stripping them failed because they
are not ELF files.
This command uses pre-built compilers to re-install the Linux headers
from the current sources into a temporary location and runs glibc's
“make update-syscalls-lists” against that. This updates the glibc
source tree with the current system call numbers.

I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2020. This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files. As well as the usual annual
updates, mainly dates in --version output (minus libc.texinfo which
previously had to be handled manually but is now successfully updated
by update-copyrights), there is a fix to
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/bits/termios-c_lflag.h where a typo in
the copyright notice meant it failed to be updated automatically.
Please remember to include 2020 in the dates for any new files added
in future (which means updating any existing uncommitted patches you
have that add new files to use the new copyright dates in them).
The patch is straighforward:
- The sparc32 v8 implementations are moved as the generic ones.
- A configure test is added to check for either __sparc_v8__ or
__sparc_v9__.
- The triple names are simplified and sparc implies sparcv8.
The idea is to keep support on sparcv8 architectures that does support
CAS instructions, such as LEON3/LEON4.
Checked on a sparcv9-linux-gnu and sparc64-linux-gnu.

The utility of a ChangeLog file has been discussed in various mailing
list threads and GNU Tools Cauldrons in the past years and the general
consensus is that while the file may have been very useful in the past
when revision control did not exist or was not as powerful as it is
today, it's current utility is fast diminishing. Further, the
ChangeLog format gets in the way of modernisation of processes since
it almost always results in rewriting of a commit, thus preventing use
of any code review tools to automatically manage patches in the glibc
project.
There is consensus in the glibc community that documentation of why a
change was done (i.e. a detailed description in a git commit) is more
useful than what changed (i.e. a ChangeLog entry) since the latter can
be deduced from the patch. The GNU community would however like to
keep the option of ascertaining what changed through a ChangeLog-like
output and as a compromise, it was proposed that a script be developed
that generates this output.
The script below is the result of these discussions. This script
takes two git revisions references as input and generates the git log
between those revisions in a form that resembles a ChangeLog. Its
capabilities and limitations are listed in a comment in the script.
On a high level it is capable of parsing C code and telling what
changed at the top level, but not within constructs such as functions.
Design
------
At a high level, the script analyses the raw output of a VCS, parses
the source files that have changed and attempts to determine what
changed. The script driver needs three distinct components to be
fully functional for a repository:
- A vcstocl_quirks.py file that helps it parse weird patterns in
sources that may result from preprocessor defines.
- A VCS plugin backend; the git backend is implemented for glibc
- A programming language parser plugin. C is currently implemented.
Additional programming language parsers can be added to give more
detailed output for changes in those types of files.
For input in languages other than those that have a parser, the script
only identifies if a file has been added, removed, modified,
permissions changed, etc. but cannot understand the change in content.
The C Parser
------------
The C parser is capable of parsing C programs with preprocessor macros
in place, as if they were part of the language. This presents some
challenges with parsing code that expands macros on the fly and to
help work around that, a vcstocl_quirks.py file has transformations to
ease things.
The C parser currently can identify macro definitions and scopes and
all global and static declarations and definitions. It cannot parse
(and compare) changes inside functions yet, it could be a future
enhancement if the need for it arises.
Testing
-------
The script has been tested with the glibc repository up to glibc-2.29
and also in the past with emacs. While it would be ideal to have
something like this in a repository like gnulib, that should not be a
bottleneck for glibc to start using this, so this patch proposes to
add these scripts into glibc.
And here is (hopefully!) one of the last ChangeLog entries we'd have
to write for glibc:
* scripts/gitlog_to_changelog.py: New script to auto-generate
ChangeLog.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/frontend_c.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/misc_util.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/vcs_git.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/vcstocl_quirks.py: Likewise.
This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py use Linux 5.3.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (host-libraries, compilers and glibcs
builds).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default Linux
version to 5.3.
Now that there are no internal users of __sysctl left, it is possible
to add an unconditional deprecation warning to <sys/sysctl.h>.
To avoid a test failure due this warning in check-install-headers,
skip the test for sys/sysctl.h.

GCC 9 dropped support for the SPE extensions to PowerPC, which means
powerpc*-*-*gnuspe* configurations are no longer buildable with that
compiler. This ISA extension was peculiar to the “e500” line of
embedded PowerPC chips, which, as far as I can tell, are no longer
being manufactured, so I think we should follow suit.
This patch was developed by grepping for “e500”, “__SPE__”, and
“__NO_FPRS__”, and may not eliminate every vestige of SPE support.
Most uses of __NO_FPRS__ are left alone, as they are relevant to
normal embedded PowerPC with soft-float.

A few of our installed headers contain UTF-8 in comments.

This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py use Linux 5.0 in place of 4.20
(now that the test change required to avoid false positives with ulong
in kernel headers has been committed). This includes adjusting the
logic to compute a tarball URL to handle different major version
numbers (rather than changing the path to hardcode v5.x in place of
v4.x, as someone might still wish to check out a v4.x version).
Tested that build-many-glibcs.py successfully checks out Linux 5.0
sources after this patch.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default Linux
version to 5.0.
(Context.checkout_tar): Handle variable major version for Linux
kernel.
The test for obsolete typedefs in installed headers was implemented
using grep, and could therefore get false positives on e.g. “ulong”
in a comment. It was also scanning all of the headers included by
our headers, and therefore testing headers we don’t control, e.g.
Linux kernel headers.
This patch splits the obsolete-typedef test from
scripts/check-installed-headers.sh to a separate program,
scripts/check-obsolete-constructs.py. Being implemented in Python,
it is feasible to make it tokenize C accurately enough to avoid false
positives on the contents of comments and strings. It also only
examines $(headers) in each subdirectory--all the headers we install,
but not any external dependencies of those headers. Headers whose
installed name starts with finclude/ are ignored, on the assumption
that they contain Fortran.
It is also feasible to make the new test understand the difference
between _defining_ the obsolete typedefs and _using_ the obsolete
typedefs, which means posix/{bits,sys}/types.h no longer need to be
exempted. This uncovered an actual bug in bits/types.h: __quad_t and
__u_quad_t were being used to define __S64_TYPE, __U64_TYPE,
__SQUAD_TYPE and __UQUAD_TYPE. These are changed to __int64_t and
__uint64_t respectively. This is a safe change, despite the comments
in bits/types.h claiming a difference between __quad_t and __int64_t,
because those comments are incorrect. In all current ABIs, both
__quad_t and __int64_t are ‘long’ when ‘long’ is a 64-bit type, and
‘long long’ when ‘long’ is a 32-bit type, and similarly for __u_quad_t
and __uint64_t. (Changing the types to be what the comments say they
are would be an ABI break, as it affects C++ name mangling.) This
patch includes a minimal change to make the comments not completely
wrong.
sys/types.h was defining the legacy BSD u_intN_t typedefs using a
construct that was not necessarily consistent with how the C99 uintN_t
typedefs are defined, and is also too complicated for the new script to
understand (it lexes C relatively accurately, but it does not attempt
to expand preprocessor macros, nor does it do any actual parsing).
This patch cuts all of that out and uses bits/types.h's __uintN_t typedefs
to define u_intN_t instead. This is verified to not change the ABI on
any supported architecture, via the c++-types test, which means u_intN_t
and uintN_t were, in fact, consistent on all supported architectures.

The check for "/finclude/" fails with the actual location of
Fortran headers because they are now stored in the "finclude"
subdirectory of the top-level include directory, so a relative path
does not contain a slash '/' before the "finclude" string.
If building on a subset of architectures only, it is easy to miss
wrapper headers which are required by other architectures because
they lack the corresponding sysdeps header. The check ensures
that every installed header which is not itself a sysdeps header
has a header under include/ (that presumably wraps the header,
and perhaps also adding declarations and definitions for !_ISOMAC).
Also check for the absence of the sysdeps/generic/bits directory
removed in commit c72565e5f1, to make
accidental re-introduction more difficult.
