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.

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.

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. (arch_minimum_kernel): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure: Regenerated. * README: Document Linux 3.2 requirement. * manual/install.texi (Linux): Document Linux 3.2 headers requirement. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

This patch updates README to remove a mention of the ports directory. It also adds a NEWS item for the merge of ports into the main sysdeps tree (I think it's NEWS-worthy, although not strictly a user-visible feature). Other remaining ports references to resolve: a comment in manual/signal.texi (not giving a literal path, but maybe should change anyway); a comment in config.h.in (path should be updated); scripts/list-sources.sh (appears to date back to ports being a separate repository). * README: Do not mention ports directory.

This patch increases the minimum Linux kernel version for glibc to 2.6.32, as discussed in the thread starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00511.html>. This patch just does the minimal change to arch_minimum_kernel settings (and LIBC_LINUX_VERSION, which determines the minimum kernel headers version, as it doesn't make sense for that to be older than the minimum kernel that can be used at runtime). Followups would be expected to do, roughly and not necessarily precisely in this order: * Remove __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks in kernel-features.h files where those checks are always true / always false for kernels 2.6.32 and above. * Otherwise simplify/improve conditionals in those files (for example, where defining once in the main file then undefining in architecture-specific files makes things clearer than having lots of separate definitions of the same macro), possibly fixing in the process cases where a macro should optimally have been defined for a given architecture but wasn't. (In the review in preparation for this version increase I checked what the right conditions should be for all macros in the main kernel-features.h whose definitions there would have been affected by the increase - but I only fixed that subset of the issues found where --enable-kernel=2.6.32 would have caused a kernel feature to be wrongly assumed to be present, not any cases where a feature is not assumed but could be assumed.) * Remove conditionals on __ASSUME_* where they can now be taken to be always-true, and the definitions when the macros are only used in Linux-specific files. * Split more architectures out of the main kernel-features.h (like ex-ports architectures), once various of the architecture conditionals there have been eliminated so the new architecture-specific files are no larger than actually necessary. Tested x86_64. 2014-03-27 Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com> [BZ #9894] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Change to 2.6.32. (arch_minimum_kernel): Change all 2.6.16 settings to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/configure.ac: Remove file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/configure: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/configure.ac: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/configure: Likewise. * README: Update reference to required Linux kernel version. * manual/install.texi (Linux): Update reference to required Linux kernel headers version. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

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.

I've moved the TILE-Gx and TILEPro ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy, along with the linux-generic ports infrastructure. Beyond the README update, the move was just git mv ports/sysdeps/tile sysdeps/tile git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile \ sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic \ sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic I updated the relevant ChangeLogs along the lines of the ARM move in commit c6bfe5c4 and tested the 64-bit tilegx build to confirm that there were no changes in "objdump -dr" output in the shared objects.

This change does two things: * Treats a target i386-* as if it were i686. * Fails configure if the user is generating code for i386. We no longer support i386 code-generation because the i386 lacks the atomic operations we need in glibc. You can still configure for i386-*, but you get i686 code. You can't build with --march=i386, --mtune=i386 or a compiler that defaults to i386 code-generation. I've added two i386 entries in the master todo list to discuss merging and renaming: http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#i386 The failure modes are fail-safe here. You compile for i386, get i686, and try to run on i386 and it fails. The configure log has a warning saying we elided to i686. There is no situation that I can see where we run into any serious problems. The patch makes the current state better in that we get less confused users and we build successfully in more default configurations. The next enhancement would be to add --march=i?86 as suggested in #c20 of BZ#10062 for any i?86-* builds, which would solve the problem of a 32-bit compiler that defaults to i386 code-gen and glibc configured for i686-* target. Which previously failed at build time, and now will fail at configure time (requires adding --march=i686). Updated NEWS with BZ #10060 and #10062. No regressions. --- 2013-04-06 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> [BZ #10060, #10062] * aclocal.m4 (LIBC_COMPILER_BUILTIN_INLINED): New macro. * sysdeps/i386/configure.in: Use LIBC_COMPILER_BUILTIN_INLINED and fail configure if __sync_val_compare_and_swap is not inlined. * sysdeps/i386/configure: Regenerate. * configure.in: Build for i686 when configured for i386. * configure: Regenerate. * README: Remove i386 reference.
