Since tile support has been removed from the Linux kernel for 4.17, this patch removes the (unmaintained) port to tilegx from glibc (the tilepro support having been previously removed). This reflects the general principle that a glibc port needs upstream support for the architecture in all the components it build-depends on (so binutils, GCC and the Linux kernel, for the normal case of a port supporting the Linux kernel but no other OS), in order to be maintainable. Apart from removal of sysdeps/tile and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile, there are updates to various comments referencing tile for which removal of those references seemed appropriate. The configuration is removed from README and from build-many-glibcs.py. contrib.texi keeps mention of removed contributions, but I updated Chris Metcalf's entry to reflect that he also contributed the non-removed support for the generic Linux kernel syscall interface. __ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN support is removed, as it was only used by tile. * sysdeps/tile: Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile: Likewise. * README (tilegx-*-linux-gnu): Remove from list of supported configurations. * manual/contrib.texi (Contributors): Mention Chris Metcalf's contribution of support for generic Linux kernel syscall interface. * scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Remove tilegx configurations. (Config.install_linux_headers): Do not handle tile. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/ldsodefs.h: Do not mention Tile in comment. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nios2/Makefile: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/posix_fadvise.c: Likewise. [__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN] (__ALIGNMENT_ARG): Remove conditional undefine and redefine. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/posix_fadvise64.c: Do not mention Tile in comment. [__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN] (__ALIGNMENT_ARG): Remove conditional undefine and redefine.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
|
|
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
|
|
|
|
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
|
|
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
|
|
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
|
|
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
|
|
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
|
|
|
|
In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
|
|
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
|
|
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
|
|
|
|
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
|
|
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.
|
|
|
|
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
|
|
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.
|
|
|
|
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
|
|
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
|
|
|
|
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
|
|
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
|
|
information.

|
|
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
|
|
the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
|
|
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
|
|
|
|
The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
|
|
found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
|
|
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
|
|
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For
|
|
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
|
|
following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
|
|
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
|
|
already been corrected.
|
|
|
|
Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
|
|
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
|
|
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require

these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be
