Since tile support has been removed from the Linux kernel for 4.17,
this patch removes the (unmaintained) port to tilegx from glibc (the
tilepro support having been previously removed). This reflects the
general principle that a glibc port needs upstream support for the
architecture in all the components it build-depends on (so binutils,
GCC and the Linux kernel, for the normal case of a port supporting the
Linux kernel but no other OS), in order to be maintainable.
Apart from removal of sysdeps/tile and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile,
there are updates to various comments referencing tile for which
removal of those references seemed appropriate. The configuration is
removed from README and from build-many-glibcs.py. contrib.texi keeps
mention of removed contributions, but I updated Chris Metcalf's entry
to reflect that he also contributed the non-removed support for the
generic Linux kernel syscall interface.
__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN support is removed, as it was only used
by tile.
* sysdeps/tile: Remove.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile: Likewise.
* README (tilegx-*-linux-gnu): Remove from list of supported
configurations.
* manual/contrib.texi (Contributors): Mention Chris Metcalf's
contribution of support for generic Linux kernel syscall
interface.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Remove
tilegx configurations.
(Config.install_linux_headers): Do not handle tile.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/ldsodefs.h: Do not mention Tile
in comment.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nios2/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/posix_fadvise.c: Likewise.
[__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN] (__ALIGNMENT_ARG): Remove
conditional undefine and redefine.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/posix_fadvise64.c: Do not mention Tile
in comment.
[__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN] (__ALIGNMENT_ARG): Remove
conditional undefine and redefine.
Now that GCC 8 has branched, this patch makes build-many-glibcs.py
default to using GCC 8 branch instead of GCC 7. The effect should be
that all builds complete cleanly and the compilation parts of the
glibc testsuite complete cleanly except for on i686-gnu (with GCC 7
there were testsuite failures for some other configurations as well).
I've replaced my bot building using GCC 6 branch with one using GCC 8
branch. (Of course glibc should continue building with GCC 6 - and
for that matter GCC 5 and 4.9, which are no longer maintained, are
supported versions as well - but building with GCC 6 will no longer be
included in my bot testing.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default GCC
version to GCC 8 branch.
The powerpcspe GCC port has been obsoleted in GCC 8 for not having had
the removal of code for non-SPE processors completed. This patch
accordingly arranges for build-many-glibcs.py to configure GCC with
--enable-obsolete for affected configurations. This is temporary;
either the port gets cleaned up and unobsoleted in GCC and the
configure option can be removed, or the port gets removed in GCC and
we should remove the corresponding glibc support.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for the affected configurations.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Use
--enable-obsolete for powerpc-linux-gnuspe.
With the git checkouts of Hurd components in build-many-glibcs.py
involving running autoreconf, there's a risk that generated files
could be left behind by an old autoreconf run (if an old version of
the sources generates those files in the source directory but a new
version does not).
This patch avoids that by using git clean -dxfq when updating git
checkouts. In this patch, that's conditional on --replace-sources, to
avoid removing any local not-checked-in files someone may have in
their checkout unless the option has been specifically passed that
says it's OK to blow old checkouts away, complete with any local
changes to them.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.git_checkout): Use git
clean -dxfq for git updates when replacing sources.
The disabling of libcilkrts in build-many-glibcs.py has some
peculiarities. It's only for the final GCC build, not the initial
bootstrap one, whereas normally anything disabled for the final build
should be disabled for the bootstrap one as well. And it's only for
Hurd, when it's more natural by analogy with the libsanitizer
disabling to disable this library unconditionally, not only for
targets where it's known to break. This patch cleans up that
disabling accordingly, adding a comment so it's obvious it can be
removed once GCC 7 is too old to build glibc.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Config.build_gcc): Use
--disable-libcilkrts unconditionally, not just for the final GCC
build for Hurd.
This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py use Linux 4.15. Other glibc
updates for Linux 4.15 can wait until after the 2.27 release.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default Linux
version to 4.15.
Some warnings need a couple of fixes in the gnumach headers.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (checkout_vcs): Add gnumach
repository URLs, run autoreconf, and make it the default for now.
Some warnings come from code generated by mig, so we need a very recent
version for now.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (checkout_vcs): Add mig repository
URL, and run autoreconf, make it the default for now.
gcc's libcilkrts has never actually supported GNU/Hurd, and doesn't
automatically disable it, and the support was actually removed in gcc trunk,
so that will never actually be fixed there.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py [os == gnu] (build_gcc): Pass
--disable-libcilkrts to gcc configure.
Since it turns out soft-float ColdFire has a different glibc ABI to
hard-float ColdFire, as well as various differences in which glibc
code gets built, this patch adds such a configuration to
build-many-glibcs.py to (hopefully) complete the set of ABIs being
tested. (Note that the build for soft-float ColdFire is currently
broken even with GCC mainline - I have a glibc patch to fix this, but
it needs before-and-after build-many-glibcs.py comparison of stripped
binaries for all configurations before being committed.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
soft-float ColdFire configuration.
This patch adds build-many-glibcs.py support for GNU Hurd. Builds of
the i686-gnu configuration will fail until sufficient support is
merged to master, so completing build-many-glibcs.py coverage of all
glibc ABIs and making results accurately reflect the broken state of
builds for Hurd.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
i686-gnu configurations.
(Context.run_builds): Include mig, gnumach and hurd in components
considered.
(Context.checkout): Add mig, gnumach and hurd to components.
(Context.checkout_tar): Add URL mappings for mig, gnumach and
hurd.
(Context.bot_cycle): Check for changes to mig, gnumach and hurd.
(Config.build): Install gnumach headers, build mig and install
hurd headers for 'gnu' OS.
(Config.install_gnumach_headers): New function.
(Config.install_hurd_headers): Likewise.
(Glibc.build_glibc): Do not use /usr for 'gnu' OS. Specifiy MIG
when building for 'gnu' OS.
The RISC-V port will have libraries in subdirectories of lib, like
"lib64/lp64d". This adds support for stripping these installed
libraries.
2018-01-06 Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (class Glibc): Strip shared objects
in subdirectories of lib.
aarch64 has several ifuncs now so test it without multiarch support separately.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
disable-multi-arch variant to aarch64-linux-gnu.
Since the default GCC and binutils versions used by build-many-glibcs.py,
which are GCC 7 branch and binutils 2.29 branch, support static PIE on
x86_64, x32 and i686, this patch adds --enable-static-pie glibc variants
to x86_64, x32 and i686 to get some coverage for static PIE.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
--enable-static-pie variants to x86_64, x32 and i686.
My fix to make the arm-linux-gnueabihf build-many-glibcs.py builds
actually use the hard-float ABI as intended showed up another issue
when building with mainline GCC: GCC now determines an FPU based on
the selected CPU or architecture and gives an error for
-mfloat-abi=hard when the CPU does not imply a choice of FPU. This
patch fixes all the affected configurations to specify a suitable
--with-cpu, --with-fpu or -mfpu option explicitly to avoid that error
from GCC.
Tested the relevant configurations with build-many-glibcs.py with
mainline GCC.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Specify
CPU or FPU for ARM hard-float configurations.
The conventional configure triplet for ARM GNU/Linux with hard-float
ABI is arm-*-linux-gnueabihf. However, GCC does not automatically use
the hard-float ABI based on that triplet. This patch fixes
build-many-glibcs.py to pass --with-float=hard so that the
arm-linux-gnueabihf configurations actually build with the intended
ABI.
Tested building the affected configurations with build-many-glibcs.py.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Use
--with-float=hard for arm-linux-gnueabihf configurations.
There is a configure option --without-fp that specifies that nofpu
sysdeps directories should be used instead of fpu directories.
For most glibc configurations, this option is of no use: either there
is no valid nofpu variant of that configuration, or there are no fpu
or nofpu sysdeps directories for that processor and so the option does
nothing. For a few configurations, if you are using a soft-float
compiler this option is required, and failing to use it generally
results in compilation errors from inline asm using unavailable
floating-point instructions.
We're moving away from --with-cpu to configuring glibc based on how
the compiler generates code, and it is natural to do so for
--without-fp as well; in most cases the soft-float and hard-float ABIs
are incompatible so you have no hope of building a working glibc with
an inappropriately configured compiler or libgcc.
This patch eliminates --without-fp, replacing it entirely by automatic
configuration based on the compiler. Configurations for which this is
relevant (coldfire / mips / powerpc32 / sh) define a variable
with_fp_cond in their preconfigure fragments (under the same
conditions under which those fragments do anything); this is a
preprocessor conditional which the toplevel configure script then uses
in a test to determine which sysdeps directories to use.
The config.make with-fp variable remains. It's used only by powerpc
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile) to add -mhard-float to various
flags variables. For powerpc, -mcpu= options can imply use of
soft-float. That could be an issue if you want to build for
e.g. 476fp, but are using --with-cpu=476 because there isn't a 476fp
sysdeps directory. If in future we eliminate --with-cpu and replace
it entirely by testing the compiler, it would be natural at that point
to eliminate that code as well (as the user should then just use a
compiler defaulting to 476fp and the 476 sysdeps directory would be
used automatically).
Tested for x86_64, and tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed
shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.

(with_fp_cond): New variable.

While working on SPARC changes to use libm_alias_* I noticed that the
non-multi-arch sparc32/sparcv9/fpu/s_fabs.S was missing compat symbol
support for fabsl. This clearly shows inadequate test coverage, so
this patch adds SPARC --disable-multi-arch builds to
build-many-glibcs.py (the 32-bit one fails testing until that bug is
fixed, the 64-bit one passes testing).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
SPARC --disable-multi-arch glibc variants.
This patch adds two extra configuration for arm-linux-gnueabihf to
cover for multiarch support:
1. arm-linux-gnueabihf-v7a: enables multiarch support by using
-march=armv7a.
2. Same as 1. but with --disable-multiarch.
Check with build-many-glibcs.py for both options.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs):
Add arm-linux-gnueabihf multiarch extra_glibcs.
glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be
integrated into the glibc build. Such add-ons may be within the glibc
source tree, or outside it at a path passed to the --enable-add-ons
configure option.
localedata and crypt were once add-ons, distributed in separate
release tarballs, but long since stopped using that mechanism.
Linuxthreads was always an add-on. Ports spent some time as an add-on
with separate release tarballs, then was first moved into the glibc
source tree, then had its sysdeps files moved into the main sysdeps
hierarchy so the add-ons mechanism was no longer used. NPTL spent
some time as an add-on in the main glibc tree before stopping using
the add-on mechanism. libidn used to have separate release tarballs
but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the
glibc source tree. Various other software has supported building with
the add-ons mechanism at times in the past, but I don't think any is
still widely used.
Add-ons involve significant, little-used complexity in the glibc build
system, and make it hard to understand what the space of possible
glibc configurations is. This patch removes the add-ons mechanism.
libidn is now built via the Subdirs mechanism to cause any
configuration using sysdeps/unix/inet to build libidn; HAVE_LIBIDN
(which effectively means shared libraries are available) is now
defined via sysdeps/unix/inet/configure. Various references to
add-ons around the source tree are removed (in the case of maint.texi,
the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date).
Externally maintained ports should now put their files in the normal
sysdeps directory structure rather than being arranged as add-ons;
they probably need to change e.g. elf.h anyway, rather than actually
being able to work just as a drop-in subtree. Hurd libpthread should
be arranged similarly to NPTL, so some files might go in a
hurd-pthreads (or similar) top-level directory in glibc, while sysdeps
files should go in the normal sysdeps directory structure (possibly in
hurd or hurd-pthreads subdirectories, just as there are nptl
subdirectories in the sysdeps tree).
Tested for x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

This patch updates build-many-glibcs.py to use the current release
branch of binutils and current releases of GMP and the Linux kernel.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default
binutils version to 2.29 branch, GMP version to 6.1.2 and Linux
kernel version to 4.12.
Now there is a GCC 7 release branch, this patch makes
build-many-glibcs.py default to using it instead of GCC 6.
Relative to GCC 6, this fixes the MicroBlaze build but introduces ICEs
building glibc testcases for SH (GCC PRs 78459, 78460; the latter is
an out-of-memory issue so you may want to set memory limits when
running build-many-glibcs.py).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default gcc
version to 7 branch.
Now with d40dbe7 SH build does not require more the no_isolate gcc
options to correct build glibc (since SH build now does not generate
a trap anymore). This patch removes the unrequired options from
SH config.
Checked with a build for sh3-linux-gnu, sh3eb-linux-gnu, sh4-linux-gnu,
and sh4eb-linux-gnu.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Remove
no_isolate usage for SH.
The 'bot-cycle' action for build-many-glibcs is a convenient way to
not have to remember all the steps in keeping a many-glibcs tree up
to date ... or it would be, if the script could send mail _optionally_.
Make it so by skipping the mail step if mail isn't configured.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (bot_build_mail): If the
bot_config does not contain all of the necessary email-
related settings, just print a warning and continue.
A recent build-many-glibcs.py build
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2017-q1/msg00067.html> ran
into what proves to be an old known bug
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42980> with parallel
install of GCC (one which as discussed there might require automake
changes to fix). This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py avoid such
intermittent failures from parallel install by using -j1 for GCC make
install (the code in question also applies to binutils make install,
but it doesn't seem worth trying to avoid -j1 there; the builds and
installs of different toolchains are still fully parallel with each
other, this is only about the case when there are few enough of those
that multiple jobs can get used within a single make install).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Config.build_cross_tool): Use -j1
for make install.
I used this patch to run the new build script with python3.2, it may be worth
adding this hack if python3.5 is not widespread (might work with older python,
i haven't tested that).
This patch make build-many-glibcs.py work with python 3.2 by
adding fallback implementation to python 3.5 facilities if they
are not present.
Checked building a x86_64-linux-gnu toolchain with python 3.2.
2016-11-22 Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com>
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (os.cpu_count): Add compatibility definition.
(re.fullmatch, subprocess.run): Likewise.
The 32-bit powerpc configurations in build-many-glibcs.py were failing
to cover the powerpc32 multiarch code at all, because that code is
only built for power4 and above configurations. This patch adds a
32-bit power4 configuration so that at least some of that multiarch
code gets build-tested. (This is preparation for reviewing the w_*
file renaming, which affects such powerpc32 multiarch files.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
power4 glibc for powerpc-linux-gnu.
Now that a release branch exists for binutils 2.28, this patch makes
build-many-glibcs.py use that by default in place of 2.27.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default
binutils version to 2.28 branch.
When build-many-glibcs.py re-execs itself with execv, any buffered
output on stdout may be lost (in particular, messages intended to go
to a bot's log about the re-exec taking place). This patch makes it
flush stdout before execv, similar to the flush before running a
subprocess from the bot that is done to ensure output appears in the
right order.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.exec_self): Flush stdout
before calling execv.
This patch updates build-many-glibcs.py to use Linux 4.9 for kernel
headers unless another version is explicitly specified. Note that
when a version changes like this you'll need to use --replace-sources
when updating an existing checkout to tell build-many-glibcs.py it's
OK to delete and replace the sources of a component for which the
version used has changed.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default Linux
kernel version to 4.9.
This patch adds a --strip option to build-many-glibcs.py, to make it
strip the installed shared libraries after installation. This is for
convenience if you want to compare installed stripped shared libraries
before and after a patch that was not meant to result in any code
changes: you can run with this option, copy the install/glibcs
directory, run again with the patch and compare the */lib*
subdirectory contents.
(It might make sense for the option to strip libraries in other
directories, including stripping debug information from static
libraries, with a view to making it possible for a
no-generated-code-changes patch to result in completely identical
install/glibcs directories, so simplifying comparison, though that may
need other build determinism changes, e.g. to build deterministic .a
files.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.__init__): Take strip
argument.
(Glibc.build_glibc): Strip installed shared libraries if
requested.
(get_parser): Add --strip option.
(main): Update Context call.
This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py support a "bot" action, for
repeatedly running a checkout and build cycle.
Two new configuration variables are used in bot-config.json. "delay"
indicates the time to sleep after each bot-cycle round (regardless of
whether that round actually ran any builds); "run" is a boolean, which
is false if the bot should just exit (the point of this is that you
can edit bot-config.json to set this to false to cause a running bot
to exit cleanly between builds) and true if the bot should run. The
bot does not exit if the bot-cycle process exits with error status
(that can occur when sourceware's load limiting means anonymous
version control access fails, for example), just sleeps until it's
time to try again.
The script is changed to flush stdout before running a subprocess in
bot-cycle, so that when output is redirected (as expected for a bot)
the status messages from bot-cycle appear in their proper position in
its redirected output relative to the output from the subprocesses
run, and to copy the logs directory before running builds in bot-cycle
so that the logs from at least one complete build are always available
for looking at how something failed, even while the next build is
running.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py: Add bot to usage message. Import
time module.
(Context.__init__): Initialize self.logsdir_old.
(Context.run_builds): Handle bot action.
(Context.bot_cycle): Copy logs directory before running builds.
(Context.bot_run_self): Take argument for whether to check
subprocess result. Flush stdout before running subprocess.
(Context.bot): New function.
(get_parser): Allow bot action.
