I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
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.
This patch moves the AArch64 port to the main sysdeps hierarchy. The
move is essentially:
git mv ports/sysdeps/aarch64 sysdeps/aarch64
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64
The README is updated and I've updated ChangeLog.aarch64 along the
lines of the ARM move. The AArch64 build has been tested to confirm
that there were no changes in objdump -dr output or the shared
objects.
