* elf32-hppa.c (hppa_record_segment_addr): Locate the segment
containing the section using the segment map, rather than guessing
based upon the section's vma and file position.
using the native ld(1). This helps building pkgsrc/sysutils/xentools3-hvm
on amd64; is also allows to build the x86 boot blocks with the
native toolchain.
This adds support for a new set of variables, PROGS and PROGS_CXX, that
allow the developer to build multiple different programs from a single
source directory.
- stop gcc emitting stuff that HPUX requires
- don't use splhigh() in MCOUNT_ENTER as a call to _mcount will be
generated at the moment. Disable interrupts in hardware instead.
- Fix _PROF_PROLOGUE to save/restore all the register args when calling
_mcount.
- Fixup LEAF_ENTRY to dtrt (I think) in the GPROF case.
- Provide LEAF_ENTRY_NOPROFILE and sprinkle its use where i) profiling
causes problems, e.g. trap handlers, and ii) where it just doesn't
make sense, e.g. start.
has ssp functions built-in" test via the TARGET_LIBC_PROVIDES_SSP environment
variable, to allow us to configure a cross-compiler appropriately without
having to try to find out by looking in the target's source directory.
Tweak our build to tell gcc that the ssp bits are now in libc.
The native compiler appears to already think that the ssp bits
live in libc, so no change appears to be needed there.
The autoconf-generated configure script will be committed separately shortly.
FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
