recipes: Drop ld-is-gold support

2025-02-10T13:03:57+00:00

Gold hasn't seen development in some time and is being dropped from binutils releases. Drop the small number of special cases for it we were carrying. This patch also turns off gold in the binutils recipe. (From OE-Core rev: a4addb9ab63011e7c604fc5daff95559e7d214e7) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

binutils: Upgrade to 2.44 release

2025-02-05T12:49:56+00:00

* Drop the CVE-2024-53589 patch, its included in 2.44 * Package newly rename gp-* to gprofng-* binaries and remove old gp-* symlinks * Gold linker is now deprecated and will be removed in future release its already deleted in tarball releases * Support for the Nios II target has been removed. * Assembler: - Support for new architecture extensions for AArch64, Risc-V and x86. * Linker: The default maximum page size was changed from 16KiB to 64KiB for LoongArch. This now supports mixed LTO and non-LTO object files in relocatable output. The ELF forms of the linker support a --image-base= option for compatibility with LLD. The --build-id= option now accepts an argument of "xx" which enables the use of the xxhash library. This produces a 128-bit hash and is 2-4x faster than md5 or sha1. The ELF linker option --package-metadata supports percent-encoded and %[string] encoded JSON payloads. * Disassembler: The RISC-V disassembler now supports -M,max option like QEMU to dump instruction without checking architecture support as usual. * GprofNG: Support added for hardware event counters for Neoverse-N1, Ampere-1, and Appliedmicro processors.

binutils: move packaging of gprofng static lib into common .inc

2023-06-13T21:10:32+00:00

Commit f72fd51e0d (binutils: package static libs from gprofng) added corresponding FILES:${PN}-staticdev entry to the main .bb recipe. But binutils-cross-canadian fails with exactly the same QA issue, hence move FILES:${PN}-staticdev to the common shared .inc file.

binutils: Enable --enable-new-dtags

2023-03-09T21:04:06+00:00

Use DT_RUNPATH over DT_RPATH. If DT_RUNPATH is present, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is searched before DT_RUNPATH, Search order is DT_RPATH then LD_LIBRARY_PATH then DT_RUNPATH, this order ensures that injecting malicious shared objects is way harder with DT_RUNPATH. This is now default on major linux distributions already (From OE-Core rev: 66f8a745668a067d8d763fa2af3e65f26c9c1ebe) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

binutils: another way to clear GPROFNG_ALTS for clang and musl

2022-09-29T20:15:50+00:00

It disables gprofng for toolchain clang and libc musl, so GPROFNG_ALTS should be cleared for them. But override 'toolchain-clang' is applied before overrides 'TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH' such as x86-64, then GPROFNG_ALTS is still set and not cleared. Apply overrides 'toolchain-clang' and 'libc-musl' for GPROFNGS rather than GPROFNG_ALTS to make it work as expected.

binutils: handle symlink files for gprofng

2022-09-22T20:39:21+00:00

It provides gprofng by binutils 2.39 for x86, x86_64 and aarch64 according to configure.ac: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=configure.ac;h=a5555a9c91b42214afc46a0ab8b629e4c6fedcc0;hb=HEAD#l401 Add them to USE_ALTERNATIVES_FOR the same as others to handle symlink files via update-alternative mechanism. And it disables gprofng for clang and musl in .bb file, so clear GPROFNG_ALTS for them too.

meta/meta-selftest/meta-skeleton: Update LICENSE variable to use SPDX license identifiers

2022-02-20T16:45:25+00:00

An automated conversion using scripts/contrib/convert-spdx-licenses.py to convert to use the standard SPDX license identifiers. Two recipes in meta-selftest were not converted as they're that way specifically for testing. A change in linux-firmware was also skipped and may need a more manual tweak.

binutils: inherit pkgconfig to address libdebuginfod depdency

2021-09-11T21:39:20+00:00

Since libdebuginfo was default distro feature[1], cross build of binutils has been broken due to absence of pkg-config. To find the dependency properly, we should inherit pkgconfig bbclass. checking for aarch64-poky-linux-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... no checking whether to use debuginfod... yes checking for libdebuginfod >= 0.179... no configure: error: "--with-debuginfod was given, but libdebuginfod is missing or unusable."
