As from previous discussions [1] this patch removes tileprox-*-linux-gnu support from GLIBC.

As per the recent discussion, this patch implements a requirement for Linux 3.2 or later for x86 and x86_64. This is only the initial change to increase the configured minimum; it's expected that followup patches would deal with associated removal of conditionals that are no longer needed. If we remove the start-up test on the kernel version, of course the NEWS and README text should then be revised (to reflect that this version is just one such that glibc does not intend to include compatibility code for any older kernel version, rather than older kernels necessarily failing to work or glibc necessarily having compatibility code for newer interfaces). The followups would be able to assume presence of getcpu (x86_64), recvmmsg (not always through its own syscall, sometimes only through socketcall), sendmmsg (likewise), /proc/$pid/task/$tid/comm, f_flags from statfs, prlimit64. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure: Regenerated. * README: Update statement about Linux kernel requirements.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL. In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the kernel version for guest software, as discussed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2 kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch. (x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.) As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_* or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Define to 3.2.0. (arch_minimum_kernel): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure: Regenerated. * README: Document Linux 3.2 requirement. * manual/install.texi (Linux): Document Linux 3.2 headers requirement. * INSTALL: Regenerated.
This patch updates README to remove a mention of the ports directory. It also adds a NEWS item for the merge of ports into the main sysdeps tree (I think it's NEWS-worthy, although not strictly a user-visible feature). Other remaining ports references to resolve: a comment in manual/signal.texi (not giving a literal path, but maybe should change anyway); a comment in config.h.in (path should be updated); scripts/list-sources.sh (appears to date back to ports being a separate repository). * README: Do not mention ports directory.
This patch increases the minimum Linux kernel version for glibc to 2.6.32, as discussed in the thread starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00511.html>. This patch just does the minimal change to arch_minimum_kernel settings (and LIBC_LINUX_VERSION, which determines the minimum kernel headers version, as it doesn't make sense for that to be older than the minimum kernel that can be used at runtime). Followups would be expected to do, roughly and not necessarily precisely in this order: * Remove __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks in kernel-features.h files where those checks are always true / always false for kernels 2.6.32 and above. * Otherwise simplify/improve conditionals in those files (for example, where defining once in the main file then undefining in architecture-specific files makes things clearer than having lots of separate definitions of the same macro), possibly fixing in the process cases where a macro should optimally have been defined for a given architecture but wasn't. (In the review in preparation for this version increase I checked what the right conditions should be for all macros in the main kernel-features.h whose definitions there would have been affected by the increase - but I only fixed that subset of the issues found where --enable-kernel=2.6.32 would have caused a kernel feature to be wrongly assumed to be present, not any cases where a feature is not assumed but could be assumed.) * Remove conditionals on __ASSUME_* where they can now be taken to be always-true, and the definitions when the macros are only used in Linux-specific files. * Split more architectures out of the main kernel-features.h (like ex-ports architectures), once various of the architecture conditionals there have been eliminated so the new architecture-specific files are no larger than actually necessary. Tested x86_64. 2014-03-27 Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com> [BZ #9894] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Change to 2.6.32.
