forward-ported from the now-removed 4.4.10 patch, needed to fix#8,
spurious dependency on host elf.h header. I checked x86 and mips which
seem to be the only archs with archscripts rules, and these rules have
nothing to do with building headers, so omitting them should still be
safe.
the value should only be the root, not including the .c suffix. as
noted in commit 2d0015f547 which added
this, the result is not actually used, so it doesn't matter that it's
wrong, but the wrong value produces spurious error output in configure
logs.
error out if there are any slashes in the name that will later be
passed to rm -rf since these are implicit rules and could
theoretically get instantiated in unintended ways.
As part of creating a CoW source tree, we symlink all top-level paths
from the original directory. In commit ebf93035c, we removed a shell
glob used for this and replaced it with an invocation of `find`.
However, our invocation of `find ... -exec sh -c '... $@ ...' {} \+`
is causing the first path in every directory to be skipped, breaking
the build. This is because arguments to `sh -c ...` begin with the
zeroth argument, while `$@` only returns the first argument onward.
Let's fix this by providing an explicit zeroth argument to `sh -c`.
shell glob of ../$</* fails to catch filenames beginning with dot, and
the easy mitigations for that all produce bad results on non-match.
use find to do it robustly.
this makes it far easier to iterate testing of patches, and sets the
stage for enforcing re-patching with makefile-level dependencies.
the pristine sources are kept in directories suffixed with ".orig",
and the unsuffixed directory now contains the result of running
cowpatch -- that is, a mix of symlinks to the original files, and
modified copies of the files/directories affected by patches.
After discussion with Rich Felker and other contributors, it's clear
that we want to license this project under the MIT/Expat license.
However, we need to be clear that we're not claiming to license the
binary artifacts, as those retain the licenses of the upstream
projects. Similarly, the patches, to the extent that there is any
copyright interest in them at all, retain the licenses from the
upstream projects.
We've added language in the README and in a new `COPYRIGHT` file to
make all of this clear.
Ref: #25#30#80
with the default --enable-libstdcxx-time, libstdc++'s configure probes
for the existence of a clock_gettime syscall and sets up the time API
implementation to make direct syscalls, presumably as a workaround for
old glibc tucking away the clock_gettime function in librt, which in
turn depends on libpthread. this breaks since struct timespec does not
match the syscall's interface on 32-bit archs.
passing --enable-libstdcxx-time=rt forces different configure paths
that correctly use the public clock_gettime function and librt if
needed.
this issue should be patched in gcc rather than worked around via
configure options, but I'd rather wait to patch until I understand how
to fix it correctly and produce a patch that's acceptable to upstream
and distros.
using slim headers-only version. this change is needed to support all
future versions of musl on 32-bit archs, since prior to 4.16 the
kernel headers had incompatibility with userspace time_t not matching
the kernel's old (32-bit) time_t. support for older headers will be
dropped entirely soon.
both 4.19.90 from official kernel tarball and 4.19.88 from the
sabotage-linux headers-only package are added. the latter should be
preferred unless you have a reason not to, as it's much smaller and
has some patches that improve interaction with musl.
support for all earlier kernel header versions will be dropped soon,
since everything prior to 4.16 has incompatibilities with 32-bit archs
moving to time64.
this is binutils issue 23825, but it's caused by gcc using local-exec
model rather than initial-exec model with the intent of making
binutils generate copy relocations. this is harmful, unnecessary, and
not presently supported by musl (and probably should never be). patch
taken from https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gcc/pull/118.
as maintained in https://github.com/sabotage-linux/kernel-headers .
downloading (and extracting) a 100+ MB kernel source tarball just for
the headers is extremely inefficient.
sabotage linux' kernel-headers tarball provides the same (including
musl compatibility fixes) in ~800 KB.
in order to use it, specify
LINUX_VER = headers-4.4.2-4
in your config.mak.
if LINUX_VER lacks the "headers-" prefix, the official source tarball
will be downloaded as usual.
the default is ordered such that user-provided config variables in
config.mak or on the make command line can still override it.
this is a dubious anti-ROP feature with high cost (file size, load
time, VMA count consumed per library), and historically was broken in
some binutils versions. the ones we use don't seem to be affected, but
it's better to have it off anyway.
new patch: 0017-c++-abi-break.diff fixes a C++ ABI break regression.
0010-static-pie-support.diff was removed as it doesn't apply anymore,
and forward-porting it requires arcane knowledge of GCC details.
the patches 0018 and 0019 have been copied from GCC 7.3.0. the static
pie patch from GCC 6.4.0, renumbered 0020, depends on the reversions
they make.
When the gcc and binutils build trees were separated in defdbb4505,
--enable-deterministic-archives was accidentally left in FULL_GCC_CONFIG.
This had the effect of reverting commit e83fe4b8ce, breaking
reproducible builds (unless it was specified explicitly in config.mak).
Originally added in commit 40d6414f28,
the purpose of the above target definitions was to allow using the
static-only symlink variant of slibtool (i.e. slibtool-static) in
those build steps which required it. Given slibtool's newly added
ability to auto-detect its desired operation mode (shared-only,
static-only, or both), as well as the integration of rlibtool
support in mcm, the aforementioned explicit target definitions
are no longer needed.
Beginning with slibtool version 0.5.26 and the introduction of the
rlibtool symlink (the equivalent of slibtool --heuristics), slibtool
may now be told to automatically detect its desired operation mode
(share-only, static-only, or both) by way of parsing the generated
libtool script which it replaces.
