This service automatically redirects to a mirror that's geographically
closer, which should make downloading the tarballs faster. The GNU
project recommends this instead of bombarding their top-level downloads
site.
These are not useful for us, and unnecessarily waste time when building
the toolchain. Even if we used libstdc++ more heavily, our use of
uncommon, PCH-affecting flags and our frequent LibC header changes would
make these ineligible for use anyways.
Instead of manually compressing/decompressing a toolchain tarball if
`TRY_USE_LOCAL_TOOLCHAIN` is set, let's use the cache action's automatic
built-in compression (which is zstd, I believe).
The BFD linker requires the `COMMONPAGESIZE` emulation parameter to be
set in order to enable RELRO support for AArch64. As we are adding a
custom `emulparams` file anyways, let's also tell LD that our ELF
interpreter is called `/usr/lib/Loader.so`.
This commit also removes some vestigial references to i686 SerenityOS.
The one in `gas/configure.tgt` is still needed, as it also handles
x86_64.
This is a mostly straight-forward rebase of our patches on top of
13.1.0. The spec files needed a change, as GCC no longer supports STABS
debug information, but we were building GCC with support for it.
Highlights of this release include static `operator()`, The Equality
Operator You Are Looking For and extended `constexpr` support.
For some reason (for me) on Ubuntu 22.04 the standard make generator
fails:
---------------------------------------------
CMake has bootstrapped. Now run gmake.
make: make: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:166: all] Error 127
This seems to be because Source/kwsys/CMakeFiles/cmsys.dir/depend is
missing or not generated. Using ninja works fine though, and as it is
already the default for Serenity proper, it seems reasonable to switch
it here too.
If the SDL libraries are present on the system, QEMU will attempt to use
that for rendering the UI. This causes a crash when the AArch64 port
starts up with the following message:
> NSWindow drag regions should only be invalidated on the Main Thread!
Fix this by explicitly disabling SDL support.
This consolidates version information, archive's download location,
filename and SHA256 checksum into version.sh. This file is then sourced
from the port script and toolchain build script.
The version.sh script contains the following variables:
- QEMU_VERSION - Version number
- QEMU_ARCHIVE - Filename
- QEMU_ARCHIVE_URL - Full url to download location
- QEMU_ARCHIVE_SHA256SUM - The SHA256 checksum
Target GDB is only used for debugging the kernel, which is not relevant
to most people. Starting with 924758c6f8, GDB would always be built
as part of the toolchain if the user didn't have it installed. This is
unnecessary.
This commit adds a separate script for building GDB, which the user
needs to explicitly invoke. A message is added to Meta/debug-kernel.sh
which alerts the user to this fact.
Previously, we would unconditionally build GDB from source for the
AArch64 toolchain. This commit makes it possible to use the system's
`gdb` binary if it supports the architecture, or `aarch64-elf-gdb` if
such a package is installed.
An `aarch64-elf-gdb` package will be available through Homebrew once
this PR is merged: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/127323
The latter is problematic as it may be contained in the username (e.g.
email address-like) and thus the $SRC_ROOT path. This would cause an
invalid sed command to be created, breaking both of these scripts.
aarch64 required this to successfully build, but the actual fix to that
is to just make sure that crtbeginS and crtendS get built as a part of
the toolchain.
This partially reverts commit c18c84dbfd.
Without this tag, executables that link libgcc_s.so.1, which is every
executable, end up with the host path to libgcc_s.so.1 as the path for
the dynamic dependency (DT_NEEDED) of the executable. By making sure
that the libgcc_s.so.1 shared object includes the DT_SONAME tag, the
path to libgcc_s.so.1 dynamic dependency will only contain the basename,
instead of the absolute host path.
Since we upstreamed CMake support for Serenity, we can use the Platform
files from upstream instead of keeping our local copy. While not added
in this commit, we can add patching capabilities for the platform files
similar to what we do for gdb, llvm, gcc, and binutils later.
This is necessary to build on MacOS. As discussed in #15530, Serenity
no longer appears to build on MacOS Ventura. This attempts to fix that
by enforcing it at the command level.
QEMU 7.1 was released on August 30th.
Release Notes: https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/7.1
The patch 'Toolchain/Patches/qemu-cf-protection-none.patch' (or similar)
has been upstreamed so it can be safely removed.
So far we've gotten away with using GCC 11 for Lagom and to compile the
toolchain, but via #15795 we discovered a compiler bug that has been
fixed in the latest version but would error the build with CI's GCC 11.
Time for an upgrade :^)
We already use ubuntu-22.04 images in most places, so this is pretty
straightforward. The only exception is Idan's self-hosted runner, which
uses Ubuntu Focal. LibJS should build fine with GCC 11, still.
I originally missed this while handling the upgrade to LLVM 15 (as it
only affects the on-serenity port), so the patch gets to be here with a
bit of a delay.

There was a typo in one of the spec files which resulted in us not
building softfp support for libgcc. Additionally we were missing flags
to build libgcc_s. This patch also makes sure we're not trying to
link against crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o. This is part of a larger effort
to at least get the userland to build at all.
Neither are we changing any of our documentation files, nor do we need
any of the documentation that is likely being built.
With macOS potentially removing makeinfo from the default Xcode lineup,
SerenityOS not being able to install it at all currently due to a lack
of perl, and it otherwise just being a dependency that has to be
installed to make the build system happy, lets just stub it out.
Nix (nixpkgs) have updated a while back how the e2fsprogs derivation
works and now fuse2fs wasnt being installed with it. It is now needed to
add a new derivation (package) to the dependency list: "fuse2fs". This
fixes the Meta/serenity.sh script not finding the fuse2fs binary for
rootless image building :^)
This is a preparation to check if our users find noticeable bugs in the
x86-64 target, before we can decide if we want to remove the i686 target
for good.
This keeps us from accidentally building toolchains that don't make it
through a clean build if we build them using a populated sysroot, as it
would otherwise detect libpthread and friends and try to pull them in
while LibC is not yet built.
Following the pattern for qemu, mold, and clang, we should install the
host ruby required to build the ruby port into its own install tree
rather than forcing it into the GNU compiler's bindir.
Following the pattern for qemu, mold, and clang, we should install the
host python required to build the python port into its own install tree
rather than forcing it into the GNU compiler's bindir.
Now that the lower pages can be unmapped and more of the virtual
address range is available to us, we can actually use the default
mapping address of x86_64 again.
This reverts commit 292398b585.
This shouldn't cause any breaking changes, so a toolchain rebuild is not
required.
As per Hendiadyoin's request, math errno is disabled by default, which
should enable some extra compiler optimizations in LibGL and LibSoftGPU
code that uses math functions heavily.

This release brings support for various C++23 constructs like `if
consteval` and multidimensional subscript operators. Vectorization is
now enabled for O2 too, and `-ftrivial-auto-var-init` has been added
which can help us find and prevent security issues coming from
uninitialized variables.
Toolchain/Patches/gcc.patch is now significanly smaller as some unused,
autoconf-generated code has been removed.
Add a patch to let llvm's InstrProfiling modules know serenity supports
all the Unix-y features required to make -fprofile-instr-generate and
-fcoverage-mapping work properly on target.
Besides a version bump, the following changes have been made to our
toolchain infrastructure:
- LLVM/Clang is now built with -march=native if the host compiler
supports it. An exception to this is CI, as the toolchain cache is
shared among many different machines there.
- The LLVM tarball is not re-extracted if the hash of the applied
patches doesn't differ.
- The patches have been split up into atomic chunks.
- Port-specific patches have been integrated into the main patches,
which will aid in the work towards self-hosting.
- <sysroot>/usr/local/lib is now appended to the linker's search path by
default.
- --pack-dyn-relocs=relr is appended to the linker command line by
default, meaning ports take advantage of RELR relocations without any
patches or additional compiler flags.
The formatting of LLVM port's package.sh has been bothering me, so I
also indented the arguments to the CMake invocation.
* x11 package name has changed to xlibsWrapper.
* texinfo is necessary for Makeinfo.
* e2fsprogs was recenty fixed on nicpkgs to include fuse2fs to mount
serenity images without root access but it needed some configuration.
Moves the nix script to setup the build environment from Documentation
into the Toolchain as a callable script. I also modified the script
to accept a "pkgs" argument to make it easy to override the nixpkgs
version from the command-line when calling the script.
