Toolchain: Add QEMU build script and improve documentation

Added a script to build QEMU from source as part of the Toolchain.
The script content could be in BuildIt.sh but has been put in
a seperate file to make the build optional.

Added PATH=$PATH to sudo calls to hand over the Toolchain's PATH
setup by UseIt.sh. This enabled the script's to use the QEMU
contained in the SerenityOS toolchain.

Deleted old documentation in Meta and replaced it by a new
documentation in the Toolchain folder.

# Building the Serenity operating system
Let's start with a quick guide to building the i686-pc-serenity toolchain.
I keep my toolchain in /opt/cross (so /opt/cross/bin needs to be in $PATH) and my Serenity sources are in $HOME/src/serenity
You need to adjust these so they fit your system.
## Dependencies:
First off, GCC needs MPFR, MPC and GMP. On Ubuntu, this is as simple as:
sudo apt install libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libgmp-dev
For Serenity, we will need e2fsprogs and QEMU:
sudo apt install e2fsprogs qemu-system-i386
Note: there is a problem with the PS/2 keyboard/mouse emulation in QEMU 2.11.1 as packaged in Ubuntu's LTS releases. If you have any strange behaviour with missing keyboard inputs or jittery mouse movement, try building QEMU from source. 2.12.1, 3.0.1, 3.1.0, and 4.0.0 are all confirmed as working when built from source.
## Binutils:
Download GNU binutils-2.32 and apply the patch serenity/Meta/binutils-2.32-serenity.patch
Make a build directory next to the binutils source directory.
In the build directory, run configure:
../binutils-2.32/configure \
--prefix=/opt/cross \
--target=i686-pc-serenity \
--with-sysroot=$HOME/src/serenity/Root \
--disable-nls
Then build and install:
make
sudo make install
## Serenity LibC and LibM headers:
Before we can build GCC, we need to put the Serenity LibC headers where GCC can find them. So go into serenity/LibC/ and install them:
./install.sh
Then do the same in serenity/LibM/:
./install.sh
Don't worry about any error messages from the above commands. We only care about copying the headers to the right place at this time.
## GCC (part 1):
Okay, then let's build GCC.
Download GNU GCC-8.3.0 and apply the patch serenity/Meta/gcc-8.3.0-serenity.patch
Make a build directory next to the GCC source directory.
In the build directory, run configure:
../gcc-8.3.0/configure \
--prefix=/opt/cross \
--target=i686-pc-serenity \
--with-sysroot=$HOME/src/serenity/Root \
--with-newlib \
--enable-languages=c,c++
Then build and install:
make all-gcc all-target-libgcc
sudo make install-gcc install-target-libgcc
## Serenity LibC for GCC:
Now let's go into serenity/LibC/ and build the C library. This is required in order to complete the GCC build.
make
./install.sh
The C library is now installed in serenity/Root/ and we can build GCC's libstdc++...
## GCC (part 2):
Go back to the GCC build directory and finish building libstdc++:
make all-target-libstdc++-v3
sudo make install-target-libstdc++-v3
## Serenity (Full build)
If everything worked out, you now have the i686-pc-serenity toolchain ready and we can build Serenity.
Go into serenity/Kernel and build it:
./makeall.sh
Then take it for a spin:
./run

# Serenity Toolchain - Building the Serenity operating system
This directory contains all toolchain related files. E.g. build scripts for
the cross compilation toolchain and build toolchain for ports.
- [Serenity Toolchain - Building the Serenity operating system](#serenity-toolchain---building-the-serenity-operating-system)
- [Cross Compile Toolchain](#cross-compile-toolchain)
- [Dependencies](#dependencies)
- [Serenity (Full build)](#serenity-full-build)
- [Running SerenityOS in an emulator](#running-serenityos-in-an-emulator)
- [QEMU installation / compilation](#qemu-installation--compilation)
- [Passing custom arguments to QEMU](#passing-custom-arguments-to-qemu)
## Cross Compile Toolchain
The cross compile toolchain contains
- binutils 2.32
- GCC 8.3.0
These are built from source with some patches applied.
### Dependencies
- Build Essentials
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential curl libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libgmp-dev
```
- GCC 8
```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 800 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-8
```
- e2fsprogs
```bash
sudo apt install e2fsprogs
```
## Serenity (Full build)
If everything worked out, you now have the **i686-pc-serenity** toolchain ready and we can build Serenity.
Go into `Kernel/` folder and build it:
```bash
./makeall.sh
```
Then take it for a spin:
```bash
./run
```
See next chapter for more options on running SerenityOS in an emulator.
## Running SerenityOS in an emulator
To run SerenityOS in a specific emulator, call the `./run` command in the `Kernel/` folder:
```bash
./run
```
There are several emulators supported to run SerenityOS in:
- Bochs
```bash
sudo apt install bochs
```
Add the `b` argument to the run script, to use bochs emulator:
```bash
./run b
```
- QEMU
QEMU with networking enabled is used by default, when no extra argument is passed to the run script.
There are some extra arguments to run QEMU emulator with specific settings:
Add the `qn` argument to the run script to use QEMU without networking:
```bash
./run qn
```
Add the `qgrub` argument to the run script to use QEMU with grub bootloader:
```bash
./run qgrub
```
Add the `qtext` argument to the run script to use QEMU with textmode:
```bash
./run qtext
```
Note: there is a problem with the PS/2 keyboard/mouse emulation in QEMU 2.11.1 as packaged in Ubuntu's LTS releases.
If you have any strange behaviour with missing keyboard inputs or jittery mouse movement, try building QEMU from
source as described in [QEMU](#qemu-installation--compilation). 2.12.1, 3.0.1, 3.1.0, and 4.0.0 are all confirmed as working when built from source.
### QEMU installation / compilation
If your distribution contains a QEMU version > 2.11.1, then you can just install it via
```bash
sudo apt install qemu-system-i386 qemu-utils
```
If that is not the case, you can build QEMU from sources with the provided script `BuildQemu.sh`.
To do so, some build dependencies have to be installed first:
```bash
sudo apt-get build-dep qemu
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
```
The source-repositories of your distribution have to be enabled to install the build-dep's.
`BuildQemu.sh` has been tested with QEMU 3.0.0 and 4.1.0 (which is default). If you
want to build QEMU 3.0.0, change the variable `QEMU_VERSION` and `QEMU_MD5SUM` accordingly:
```bash
QEMU_VERSION="qemu-3.0.0"
QEMU_MD5SUM="${QEMU300_MD5SUM}"
```
### Passing custom arguments to QEMU
You can modify the environment variable `SERENITY_EXTRA_QEMU_ARGS` to your needs or hand it over directly before the run command:
```bash
SERENITY_EXTRA_QEMU_ARGS="-nographic" ./run qtext
```
