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 removes the Banner mechanism, with the last remaining
Banner file replaced by a contrib.texi entry. This accords with the
principle that the output of running libc.so.6 is not the place to
credit particular contributions (the manual is), and with all other
configuration options not mentioned there, it doesn't seem appropriate
to focus there on the one question of whether the one remaining piece
configured as an add-on was enabled or not.
Tested for x86_64.
* csu/Makefile (generated): Do not add version-info.h.
(before-compile): Likewise.
(all-Banner-files): Remove variable.
($(objpfx)version-info.h): Remove rule.
* csu/version.c (banner): Do not include "version-info.h".
* libidn/Banner: Remove.
* manual/contrib.texi (Simon Josefsson): New entry.
Various subdirectories of glibc include Banner files to put some text
in the output of executing libc.so.6, under "Available extensions".
Some of those subdirectories (e.g. crypt) may originally have been
add-ons (and so optional, so a particular glibc build might or might
not have included them), but except for libidn they aren't now (or if
only included in some builds, in the case of soft-fp, the inclusion
depends on the architecture for which glibc is configured rather than
having any glibc configuration for which it's an optional feature),
and it doesn't seem useful for the libc.so.6 output to call out a few
features like that.
This patch removes the non-add-on Banner files, updating contrib.texi
where they noted contributions not otherwise mentioned there.
Tested for x86_64.
* crypt/Banner: Remove file.
* nptl/Banner: Likewise.
* resolv/Banner: Likewise.
* soft-fp/Banner: Likewise.
* nptl/Makefile ($(objpfx)banner.h): Remove rule.
($(objpfx)version.d): Remove dependency on banner.h.
($(objpfx)version.os): Likewise.
* nptl/version.c (banner): Do not include banner.h.
* manual/contrib.texi: Update entries for Richard Henderson, Jakub
Jelinek and BIND code.
Update all translations.
Update contributions in the manual.
Update installation notes with information about newest working tools.
Reconfigure using exactly autoconf 2.69.
Regenerate INSTALL.
[BZ #13743]
A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level
platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a
function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase). This
is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with
high precision that can't afford a syscall.
* manual/contrib.texi (Contributors): Fix cross reference.
* manual/libc.texinfo (Copying): Include freemanuals.
* manual/Makefile (appendices): Add freemanuals.
* manual/freemanuals.texi: New file.
Patch by Brian Youmans <3diff@gnu.org>.
* manual/libm-err-tab.pl: Pretty print more platforms, print a
smaller table.
* manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Fix grammar, start
table on separate page.
Patch by Brian Youmans <3diff@gnu.org>.
1999-06-09 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
* stdlib/longlong.h: gas changed sethi handling when without
%hi(). Fix assembly.
* sysdeps/generic/dl-cache.c (_dl_cache_lookup): Allow
port specific cache id checks.
* sysdeps/generic/dl-cache.h: New file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/dl-cache.h: New file.
1998-03-18 00:25 Tim Waugh <tim@cyberelk.demon.co.uk>
* posix/wordexp.c (parse_comm): Allow quoting inside $(...).
(parse_param): Fold in Andreas' fixes to do with when the end of
the parameter name has been reached, and quoting inside ${...}.
(parse_dollars): Fix differentiation between $(((1+3)*(4-2))) and
$((echo);(ls)).

* manual/maint.texi: Split out installation and contribution
sections to their own appendices. Misc cleanups.
* manual/install.texi: New file. Mention add-ons. Refer to FAQ.
* manual/contrib.texi: New file.
* manual/libc.texinfo: Pull in new appendices.
* manual/header.texi: Correct node pointer.
1998-03-17 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>

of waitpid a bit. Patch by Zack Weinberg. [PR libc/490]
