From 6765d5d34d126b26d55e2d73dac4dfec5e6d6241 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siddhesh Poyarekar Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2016 23:34:04 +0530 Subject: Enhance --enable-tunables to select tunables frontend at build time At the GNU Tools Cauldron 2016, the state of the current tunables patchset was considered OK with the addition of a way to select the frontend to be used for the tunables. That is, to avoid being locked in to one type of frontend initially, it should be possible to build tunables with a different frontend with something as simple as a configure switch. To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'. The current frontend (and default when enable-tunables is 'yes') is called 'valstring', to select the frontend where a single environment variable is set to a colon-separated value string. More such frontends can be added in future. * Makeconfig (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. * configure.ac: Add 'valstring' as a valid value for --enable-tunables. * configure: Regenerate. * elf/Makefile (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. (CPPFLAGS-dl-tunables.c): Define TUNABLES_FRONTEND for dl-tunables.c. * elf/dl-tunables.c (GLIBC_TUNABLES): Define only when TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. (tunables_strdup): Likewise. (disable_tunables): Likewise. (parse_tunables): Likewise. (__tunables_init): Process GLIBC_TUNABLES envvar only when. TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. * elf/dl-tunables.h (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring): New macro. (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_yes): New macro, define as TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring by default. * manual/install.texi: Document new acceptable values for --enable-tunables. * INSTALL: Regenerate. --- configure | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'configure') diff --git a/configure b/configure index d80d738fd1..eecd0ace74 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -1454,7 +1454,8 @@ Optional Features: --disable-build-nscd disable building and installing the nscd daemon --disable-nscd library functions will not contact the nscd daemon --enable-pt_chown Enable building and installing pt_chown - --enable-tunables Enable tunables support + --enable-tunables Enable tunables support.
