grub2: force -fno-stack-protector in CFLAGS

2017-08-30T20:09:21+00:00

grub2 fails to configure when BR2_SSP_ALL is enabled, with the following configure error: checking whether -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables works... yes checking whether -fno-unwind-tables works... yes checking for target linking format... unknown configure: error: no suitable link format found This can be worked around by enforcing -fno-stack-protector in the package CFLAGS in a way that overrides the SSP flag, as is already done for the valgrind package. Fixes bug #10261. Signed-off-by: Erico Nunes Reported-by: Dr I J Ormshaw Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

boot/syslinux: fix i386 bios build with recent binutils

2017-08-16T20:54:03+00:00

When we use the cross-compiler to build syslinux with a recent binutils version, it fails with: /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld -Bsymbolic -pie -E --hash-style=gnu -T /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/core/i386/syslinux.ld -M -o ldlinux.elf ldlinux.o \ --start-group libcom32.a --whole-archive /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/bios/com32/lib/libcom32core.a libldlinux.a --end-group -N --no-omagic \ > ldlinux.map /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld: ldlinux.elf: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld: final link failed: Bad value /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/core/Makefile:167: recipe for target 'ldlinux.elf' failed Backport an upstream patch that reorganises the i386 bios build by removing some symbols and making others hidden. To simplify the backport, an additional patch that also touches the link script is also included - it anyway looks like that patch could be relevant as well.

uboot: bump to version 2017.07

2017-07-21T20:43:36+00:00

Add a new config option BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYLIBFDT for U-Boot targets, like sunxi, needing the Python libfdt library. Signed-off-by: Jörg Krause [Thomas: drop bogus selects on BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_{PYTHON,SWIG}.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

grub2: move usage notes to package readme.txt

2017-07-16T13:25:27+00:00

As discussed in the mailing list, grub2 usage notes were growing too big for a Config.in documentation, and so it was agreed that a readme.txt in the package directory is a better place to put them. This commit simply moves the documentation as-is to preserve the original contents as they were in Config.in which can be worked on in further commits.

grub2: bump up version

2017-07-16T12:55:33+00:00

After many years since the last release and a long time with grub 2.02 in beta, there is finally a release and it brings many bug fixes and interesting features such as support for ARM. Patch boot/grub2/0001-remove-gets.patch doesn't seem to be required anymore as grub-core/gnulib/stdio.in.h has changed significantly since "053cfcd Import new gnulib." and has another treatment for gets. Patch boot/grub2/0002-grub-core-gettext-gettext.c-main_context-secondary_c.patch was a backport which is present after the bump and therefore is also no longer necessary. Since we're adding a Config.in comment, we also introduce a BR2_TARGET_GRUB2_ARCH_SUPPORTS hidden boolean, in order to avoid repeating the architecture dependencies. Signed-off-by: Erico Nunes Cc: Thomas Petazzoni [Thomas: add BR2_TARGET_GRUB2_ARCH_SUPPORTS, remove bogus dependencies on ARM and AArch64, since enabling Grub2 on those architectures is done in another commit.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

uboot: apply xtensa overlay

2017-07-09T15:03:45+00:00

grub2: install in $(HOST_DIR) instead of $(HOST_DIR)/usr

2017-07-05T14:06:47+00:00

grub2 builds for the target but installs with DESTDIR=$(HOST_DIR). Since we set prefix to /usr in TARGET_CONF_OPTS, this results in installing things in $(HOST_DIR)/usr. To make sure we don't install in $(HOST_DIR)/usr, override --prefix and --exec-prefix. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Globally replace $(HOST_DIR)/usr/share with $(HOST_DIR)/share

2017-07-05T13:21:31+00:00

Since things are no longer installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr, the callers should also not refer to it. This is a mechanical change with git grep -l '$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share' | xargs sed -i 's%$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share%$(HOST_DIR)/share%g' Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
