* arm: drop EABI checkMike Frysinger2014-11-221-5/+0
| | | | | | GCC marked OABI obsolete in 4.7 and dropped it in 4.8. So the number of people this is catching is shrinking every day. At this point, it's not terribly useful, so just drop it.

The use of -z relro in Makeconfig became unconditional with commit 2e6ab1df44c412bb9d30b26a4d8a679150a7e375 Author: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Date: Sat Oct 28 06:44:04 2006 +0000 Remove conditional code which now is unnecessary. (commit reference from git://repo.or.cz/glibc/history), so since then the configure test has not controlled anything about how glibc is built - simply about whether configure succeeds and allows a build to be attempted. The test for whether the option did something useful (as opposed to whether it exists - which we can certainly just assume by now) was originally added in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2004-09/msg00069.html> to disable the option in a case when it did nothing useful on ia64 (as a result of something deliberate in the linker on ia64). Since 2006 that disabling has been of no effect, and given that the current test does not set libc_relro_required for ia64, it does nothing whatever useful for the original motivating case. Also at around the same time in 2006 the test was made to give an error for missing or broken -z relro support on various architectures. So effectively all the test does now is verify that, on certain architectures, the linker has not been changed deliberately to make the option ineffective. I see no apparent reason why such a change should be expected, or why the build should be stopped if it were to be made (any more than we disallow build on ia64); I think we can trust binutils patch review to point out the consequences of any change to COMMONPAGESIZE setting. The only thing that might now make sense would be disabling the -z relro use on an architecture-specific basis if there were an architecture-specific reason to consider that to make sense; it would be for the ia64 maintainer to decide if that makes sense for ia64 at present, but I think that could be done through sysdeps Makefiles - no special configure tests needed. Tested for x86_64 that this patch makes no change to the installed shared libraries. Together with <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00788.html> (pending review) this substantially eliminates architecture-specific cases from architecture-independent configure.ac files. There remains an i386 case in sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.ac that should properly move to the i386 subdirectory. (There are also OS-specific cases outside OS-specific directories; in principle I think should should also move.) * configure.ac (libc_commonpagesize): Remove variable. (libc_relro_required): Likewise. (libc_cv_z_relro): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/aarch64/preconfigure (libc_commonpagesize): Do not set variable. (libc_relro_required): Likewise. * sysdeps/alpha/preconfigure (libc_commonpagesize): Likewise. (libc_relro_required): Likewise. * sysdeps/arm/preconfigure.ac (libc_commonpagesize): Likewise. (libc_relro_required): Likewise. * sysdeps/arm/preconfigure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/ia64/preconfigure: Remove file. * sysdeps/tile/preconfigure (libc_commonpagesize): Do not set variable. (libc_relro_required): Likewise.
* ARM: Allow auto-detection of linker relro featureWill Newton2014-05-091-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Set values for libc_commonpagesize and libc_relro_required for the ARM port to enable relro by default and suppress a warning at configure time. ChangeLog: 2014-05-09 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * sysdeps/arm/preconfigure.ac: Set libc_commonpagesize and libc_relro_required for ARM. * sysdeps/arm/preconfigure: Regenerate.
* Move arm from ports to libc.Joseph Myers2014-02-081-0/+58
I've moved the ARM port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy. Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply git mv ports/sysdeps/arm sysdeps/arm git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/arm sysdeps/unix/arm git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top of ports/ChangeLog.arm similar to that at the top of ChangeLog.powerpc. There is deliberately no NEWS change, as I think it makes the most sense to put in a general note above all ports having moved if we can achieve that for 2.20. Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for arm is the same before and after this patch, except for data (not instructions) in ld.so (there are assertions in sysdeps/arm/dl-machine.h, and the path by which that file is found, and so by which it appears in the assertion message, changes as a result of the move). * sysdeps/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/arm. * sysdeps/unix/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/arm. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm. * README: Update listing for arm-*-linux-gnueabi. ports/ChangeLog.arm: * sysdeps/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps/arm. * sysdeps/unix/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps.arm. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm.
