Fabio Porcedda ac9621d995 unzip: Use the "-q" option to silence unzipping of source files
Add and use the "UNZIP" variable instead of calling directly unzip
because the variable contains the "-q" option to silence "unzip" so it
doesn't show the list of files extracted just like when tar files are
being unpacked.

Francois Perrad 2081534cd4 intltool: fix build issues
This commit fixes various build failures caused by the host-perl
series.

Currently, the variables PERL and PERL5LIB are available only during
the configure step of host-intltool, but they are also needed when
running host-intltool, in all packages that depend on
host-intltool. Without them, host-intltool cannot work as it doesn't
find the libxml-parser-perl module installed in
$(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib/perl.

This commit therefore makes the PERL and PERL5LIB variables global, so
that all packages can access them.

Thomas De Schampheleire 3ed0eada71 Makefile: unconditionally include pkg-utils.mk
Currently, pkg-utils.mk (included via package/Makefile.in) is only included
when a configuration file already exists. This means that none of the
utilities it defines are available without .config.

In particular:
- the MESSAGE macro, causing pretty build output. Since some make targets
  can be run even without .config, like 'make manual', not having this
  pretty printing is odd.

- pkgname, pkgdir: in a subsequent patch, these functions will be used for
  the generation of the manual, and since this should work also without
  .config, we need these functions to be available.

This patch moves the include of pkg-utils.mk from package/Makefile.in to
Makefile, outside of the check for .config.

This is a quick fix. The full solution involves to minimize the amount of
Makefile code that is guarded by a check on .config. This approach will be
taken in the 2014.11 release cycle.

Thomas De Schampheleire abb8a8dae4 infra: introduce a kconfig-package infrastructure
There are several packages that have a configuration file managed by
kconfig: uclibc, busybox, linux and barebox. All these packages need some
make targets to handle the kconfig specificities: creating a configuration
(menuconfig, ...) and saving it back (update-config, ...)

These targets should be the same for each of these packages, but
unfortunately they are not. Especially with respect to saving back the
configuration to the original config file, there are many differences.

A previous set of patches fixed these targets for the uclibc package.
This patch extracts these targets into a common kconfig-package
infrastructure, with the goals of:
- aligning the behavior of all kconfig-based packages
- removing code duplication

In order to use this infrastructure, a package should at a minimum specify
FOO_KCONFIG_FILE and eval the kconfig-package macro. The supported
configuration editors can be set with FOO_KCONFIG_EDITORS and defaults to
menuconfig only.
Additionally, a package can specify FOO_KCONFIG_OPT for extra options to
pass to the invocation of the kconfig editors, and FOO_KCONFIG_FIXUP_CMDS
for a list of shell commands used to fixup the .config file after a
configuration has been created/edited.

Anton Kolesov cbffd50561 toolchain: Add config option for atomic intrinsics
GCC has several builtin functions that implement atomic operations. Those
functions are architecture specific and may not be implemented by the
specific toolchain. In case of GCC for ARC those functions rely on
LLOCK/SCOND instructions which are optional in ARC CPU's. If ARC CPU doesn't
support those instructions but software tries to use them, then application
will be aborted with Illegal instruction exception. To avoid confusion user
should first specify that their CPU supports atomic extension, which will
allow selection of packages that use builtin atomic functions.

This commit refactors how Stack Smashing Protection support is handled
in Buildroot:

 *) It turns the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP option into an option
    that only enables the SSP support in uClibc, when using the internal
    toolchain backend.

 *) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
    when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
    glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
    option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
    uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
    must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP
    support.

 *) It adds a new options BR2_ENABLE_SSP in the "Build options" menu,
    to enable the usage of SSP support, by adding
    -fstack-protector-all to the CFLAGS.

But since $(BR2_arm)$(BR2_armeb) will always be 'y' in the cases where
BR2_ARM_EABIHF is 'y', it means that the 'else' part of the condition
will never be used.

Thomas Petazzoni 5f959a1c61 arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf
This commit introduces the support for the EABIhf ABI, next to the
existing support we have for EABI and OABI (even though OABI support
is deprecated). EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point
workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point
arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers
to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI.

In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the
floating point support:
 * Software floating point
 * VFP
 * VFPv3
 * VFPv3-D16
 * VFPv4
 * VFPv4-D16

and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible
when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is
however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are
mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig
logic tries to achieve the following goals:

 * Hide options that are definitely not possible.

 * Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of
   the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating
   point on these cores)..

 * Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not
   necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5
   and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular
   variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software
   floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).

It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all
possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2,
fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for
vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16,
vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the
new organization of the Config.in options.

Thomas Petazzoni 381616e77a Introduce BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_{UCLIBC, GLIBC}
Currently, when we need to do a conditional on the type of C library
used, we need to take into account the three toolchain backends. As we
are going to add eglibc support to the Buildroot toolchain backend, it
would become even uglier, so this patch introduces two new hidden
options: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, that
exist regardless of the toolchain backend. The entire Buildroot code
base is converted to use those options.

Note that we have intentionally created only one option
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC) for both glibc and eglibc, since they are
essentially the same, as far as Buildroot is concerned.

Yann E. MORIN df8d52fb02 package-infra: limit the number of // jobs
The current code spawns as many jobs as up to twice the number of CPUs.

On small-class machines like laptops, with a limitted amount of memory,
but still a few CPUs (real or hyperthreads), the HDD becomes a bottleneck,
and it becomes almost impossible to do anythiong else while there is a
build in progress.

Limit the number of jobs to the number of CPUs plus one.

Even on fast machines with fast HDDs, this settings keeps the machine
fully busy (for those packages that can build in parallel, of course).

For example, building qemu or the linux kernel kept my hyperthreaded
hexa Core i7 with 18GiB of RAM, busy at 99% (I never ever managed to
get 100% even with more jobs, not even 200); while on my hyperthreaded
dual Core i5 with only 4GiB and a slow HDD, I still topped at 100% CPU,
while still able to do some work involving the HDD.

If the number of processors is not available, assume one.

Arnout Vandecappelle befb9a3ee0 Make external toolchain relocatable
The external toolchain wrapper sets sysroot etc. to an absolute path.
By changing this to a relative path, it is possible to move the host
directory to a different location and still have a working build
system.

This only works for a downloaded external toolchain.  For a pre-installed
external toolchain, it is possible to move the host directory to a
different location, but not the external toolchain directory (it does work
if the external toolchain directory lies within the host directory).  For
an internal or crosstool-ng toolchain, there is no wrapper so updating the
sysroot path should be done in a different way.

See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-February/050371.html
for information about others things to do to make the host directory
relocatable.

ANDY KENNEDY 0a4bd19f4a Pass --static rather than -static in LDFLAGS when BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
The following changes LDFLAGS from -static to --static if building
with BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB so that various components actually build
statically.

Libtool interpret -static as linking statically with libraries that will not
be installed to the libdir; you have to pass it -all-static to force static
linking.  Or, pass --static, which libtool passes on blindly to gcc.  gcc
and (GNU) ld both interpret --static the same as -static (although this
isn't documented).
