These files were both auto-generated and shipped in the source tree.
We can assume that sed is available and always generate the files
during the build.
Now that build-many-glibcs.py touches at checkout time all files that
might get rebuilt in the glibc source directory in a normal glibc
build and test run, this patch stops the script from copying the glibc
source directory, so that all builds use the original directory
directly (and less disk space is used, less I/O is involved and cached
copies of the sources in memory can be shared between all the builds -
as well as avoiding spurious failures from copying while "git gc" is
running). This is similar to how all other components were already
handled. Any bugs involving writing into the source directory can be
dealt with in future as normal bugs, just as such bugs already are
handled.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py runs with a read-only glibc source
directory, with all files not touched by the script having timestamps
in forwards alphabetical order and separately with all files not
touched by the script having timestamps in backwards alphabetical
order.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Glibc.build_glibc): Use original
source directory instead of a copy.
(CommandList.create_copy_dir): Remove.
build-many-glibcs.py currently copies the source tree to avoid issues
with parallel builds trying to write into it. This copying can result
in occasional spurious build failures from bots, when a "git gc" is in
progress that changes .git contents while copying is taking place, and
it would also be desirable to avoid the need to copy to save on disk
space, I/O and memory used in build-many-glibcs.py builds.
In preparation for removing the copying, this patch arranges for
build-many-glibcs.py to touch more files on checkout so their
timestamps do not result in make attempting to rebuild them. Before
actually removing the copying, I intend to do further tests to ensure
I haven't missed any other such makefile dependencies.
This is of course without prejudice to possibly moving more of these
files to being generated in the build directory rather than being
checked in at all, where that can be done using build tools already
required for the build. For sysdeps files (installed and otherwise)
it would be necessary to make sure this does not affect the search
ordering, for headers used in the build it would be necessary to
ensure they are generated early enough, and for errlist.c there may be
dual licensing reasons for keeping it checked in.
Tested that a checkout with build-many-glibcs.py does touch the
expected files and that a glibcs build for aarch64-linux-gnu succeeds.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.fix_glibc_timestamps):
Touch additional files.
Since we have consensus on requiring Python 3.4 or later to build
glibc, it follows that compatibility with older Python versions is
also no longer relevant to auxiliary Python scripts for use in glibc
development. This patch removes such compatibility code from
build-many-glibcs.py (compatibility code needed for 3.4, which lacks
the newer subprocess interface, is kept). Because
build-many-glibcs.py is not itself called from the glibc build system,
this patch is independent of the configure checks for having a
new-enough Python version, which are only relevant to uses of Python
from the main build and test process.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py building glibc for aarch64-linux-gnu
(with Python 3.4 to make sure that still works).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py: Remove compatibility for missing
os.cpu_count and re.fullmatch.
Every so often we get libsanitizer or libgo builds breaking with new
glibc because of some change in the glibc headers.
glibc's build-many-glibcs.py deliberately disables libsanitizer and
GCC languages other than C and C++ because the point is to test glibc
and find glibc problems (including problems shown up by new compiler
warnings in new GCC), not to test libsanitizer or libgo; if the
compiler build fails because of libsanitizer or libgo failing to
build, that could hide the existence of new problems in glibc.
However, it seems reasonable to have a non-default mode where
build-many-glibcs.py does build those additional pieces, which this
patch adds.
Note that I do not intend to run a build-many-glibcs.py bot with this
new option. If people concerned with libsanitizer, libgo or other
potentially affected GCC libraries wish to find out about such
problems more quickly, they may wish to run such a bot or bots (and to
monitor the results and fix issues found - obviously there will be
some overlap with issues found by my bots not using that option).
Note also that building a non-native Ada compiler requires a
sufficiently recent native (or build-x-host, in general) Ada compiler
to be used, possibly more or less the same version as being built.
That needs to be in the PATH when build-many-glibcs.py --full-gcc is
run; the script does not deal with setting up such a compiler (or any
of the other host tools needed for building GCC and glibc, beyond the
GMP / MPFR / MPC libraries), but perhaps it should, to avoid the need
to keep updating such a compiler manually when running a bot.
Tested by running build-many-glibcs.py with the new option, with
mainline GCC. There are build failures for various configurations,
which may be of interest to Go / Ada people even if you're not
interested in running such a bot:
* mips64 / mips64el (all configuration): ICE building libstdc++, as
seen without using the new option
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87156>.
* aarch64_be: error building libgo (little-endian aarch64 works fine):
version.go:67:13: error: expected ';' or ')' or newline
67 | BigEndian =
| ^
version.go:67:3: error: reference to undefined name 'BigEndian'
67 | BigEndian =
| ^
* arm (all configurations): error building libgo:
/scratch/jmyers/glibc/many9/src/gcc/libgo/go/internal/syscall/unix/getrandom_linux.go:29:5: error: reference to undefined name 'randomTrap'
29 | if randomTrap == 0 {
| ^
/scratch/jmyers/glibc/many9/src/gcc/libgo/go/internal/syscall/unix/getrandom_linux.go:38:34: error: reference to undefined name 'randomTrap'
38 | r1, _, errno := syscall.Syscall(randomTrap,
| ^
What's happening there is, I think, that the arm*b*-*-* case in
libgo/configure.ac is wrongly matching arm-glibc-linux-gnueabi with
the 'b' in the vendor part, and then something else is failing to
handle GOARCH=armbe. Given that you can have configurations with
multilibs of both endiannesses, endianness should always be detected
by configure.ac, for all architectures, using a compile test of
whether __BYTE_ORDER__ == __ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN__, not based on textual
matches to the host (= target at top-level) triplet.
* armeb (all configurations): error building libada (for some reason
the Arm libada configuration seems to do different things for EH for
big-endian, which makes no sense to me and doesn't actually work):
a-exexpr.adb:87:06: "System.Exceptions.Machine" is not a predefined library unit
a-exexpr.adb:87:06: "Ada.Exceptions (body)" depends on "Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Propagation (body)"
a-exexpr.adb:87:06: "Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Propagation (body)" depends on "System.Exceptions.Machine (spec)"
* hppa: error building libgo (same error as for aarch64_be).
* ia64: ICE building libgo. I've filed
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87281> for this.
* m68k: ICE in the Go front end building libgo
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84948>.
* microblaze, microblazeel, nios2, sh3, sh3eb: build failure in libada
for lack of a libada port to those systems (I'm not sure sh3 would
actually need anything different from sh4):
a-cbdlli.ads:38:14: violation of restriction "No_Finalization" at system.ads:47
* i686-gnu: build failure in libada, might be fixed by the patch
attached to <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81103>
(not tested):
terminals.c:1115:13: fatal error: termio.h: No such file or directory
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.__init__): Add full_gcc
argument.
(Config.build_gcc): Use --disable-libsanitizer for first GCC
build, but not for second build if --full-gcc. Use
--enable-languages=all for second build if --full-gcc.
(get_parser): Add --full-gcc option.
(main): Update call to Context.
We've had issues before with build failures (with new GCC) in code
only built with --enable-obsolete-rpc or --enable-obsolete-nsl not
being reported for a while because build-many-glibcs.py does not test
those configure options. This patch adds configurations (32-bit and
64-bit) using those options so that in future we can notice quickly if
they start failing to build.
Tested the new configurations do build with GCC 8.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
x86_64 and i686 configs using --enable-obsolete-rpc
--enable-obsolete-nsl.
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.
(libc_cv_with_fp): New configure test. Use this variable instead
of with_fp.

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.
