This allows checking e.g. stdenv.hostPlatform.isGnu, just like isMusl
or isUClibc. It was already possible to check for glibc with
stdenv.hostPlatform.libc == "glibc", but when that doesn't line up
with how every other platform check works, this is apparently
sufficiently non-obvious that we've ended up with stuff like adding
glibc.static if !isMusl, which is obviously wrong.
This regressed in 9c213398b3
The recursiveUpdate gave the platform both gcc.cpu and gcc.arch attrs
instead of only gcc.cpu. This is invalid; gcc configuration fails with:
```
Switch "--with-arch" may not be used with switch "--with-cpu"
```
So we revert to using `//` to retain only gcc.cpu
(which is more specific than the processor arch).
m68k was recently added for Linux and none, but NetBSD also supports
m68k. Nothing will build yet, but I want to make sure we at least
encode the existence of NetBSD support for every applicable
architecture we support for other operating systems.
In Autoconf, some old NetBSD targets like "i686-unknown-netbsd" are
interpreted as a.out, not elf, and virtually nothing supports it. We
need to specify e.g. "i686-unknown-netbsdelf" to get the right
behaviour.
Newer bootloaders for RISC-V (i.e., OpenSBI + U-Boot) support
flat and compressed kernel images but not vmlinux. Therefore,
let's build "Image" like what we do with aarch64.
Also copy DTBs while we are at it.
This will begin the process of breaking up the `useLLVM` monolith. That
is good in general, but I hope will be good for NetBSD and Darwin in
particular.

Stating that CPUs and the isCompatible relation forms a category (or
preorder) is correct but overtly technical. We can state it more
clearly for readers unfamiliar with mathematics while retaining some
keywords to be useful to technical readers.
This PR adds a new aarch64 android toolchain, which leverages the
existing crossSystem infrastructure and LLVM builders to generate a
working toolchain with minimal prebuilt components.
The only thing that is prebuilt is the bionic libc. This is because it
is practically impossible to compile bionic outside of an AOSP tree. I
tried and failed, braver souls may prevail. For now I just grab the
relevant binaries from https://android.googlesource.com/.
I also grab the msm kernel sources from there to generate headers. I've
included a minor patch to the existing kernel-headers derivation in
order to expose an internal function.
Everything else, from binutils up, is using stock code. Many thanks to
@Ericson2314 for his help on this, and for building such a powerful
system in the first place!
One motivation for this is to be able to build a toolchain which will
work on an aarch64 linux machine. To my knowledge, there is no existing
toolchain for an aarch64-linux builder and an aarch64-android target.
These are all the architectures supported by Nixpkgs on other
platforms, that are also supported by NetBSD. (So I haven't added
any architectures that are new to Nixpkgs here, even though NetBSD
supports some that we don't have.)
The previous mess was partially grouped by OS, and partially grouped
by architecture, which made it very difficult to know where to add new
entries.
I've chosen to group by OS entirely, because OSes are likely to
maintain exhaustive lists of supported architectures, but it's far
less likely we'd be able to find exhaustive lists of supported OSes
for every architecture.
Forcing the module to be builtin breaks 5.10, which wants to compile it as a
module (probably due to dependencies). There doesn't seem to be a need to have
it builtin anymore, so we can just remove the override.
In 9c213398b3 kernelPreferBuiltin was
moved/renamed to linux-kernel.preferBuiltin. However, for
armv7l-hf-multiplatform the new option was written with an uppercase P,
which made the kernel build process ignore it.
PPC64 supports two ABIs: ELF v1 and v2.
ELFv1 is historically what GCC and most packages expect, but this is
changing because musl outright does not work with ELFv1. So any distro
which uses musl must use ELFv2. Many other platforms are moving to ELFv2
too, such as FreeBSD (as of v13) and Gentoo (as of late 2020).
Since we use musl extensively, let's default to ELFv2.
Nix gives us the power to specify this declaratively for the entire
system, so ELFv1 is not dropped entirely. It can be specified explicitly
in the target config, e.g. "powerpc64-unknown-linux-elfv1". Otherwise the
default is "powerpc64-unknown-linux-elfv2". For musl,
"powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl" must use elfv2 internally to function.
Looks like these got left behind in the
kernelArch -> linuxArch migration.
Fixes:
* pkgsCross.powernv.linuxHeaders
* pkgsCross.riscv64.linuxHeaders
* pkgsCross.riscv32.linuxHeaders
and dependees
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.
This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.
`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.
The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.
Since 40e7be1 all ARM platforms that didn't have a parsed cpu version
(e.g. arm-none-eabi) would be handled as armv7l-hf-multiplatform which
did break building arm-trusted-platform packages for some targets (e.g.
rk3399).
Using pcBase as fallback, instead of armv7l-hf-multiplatform,
corresponds with the behaviour we had before 40e7be1.
The last use of `kernelMajor` in Nixpkgs was removed in 2018.
Even then, I'm not positive it was actually in an exercised code path.
AFAIUI this is now totally redundant and useless as it really was meant
for the 2.4 -> 2.6 transition.
newlib is the default for most tools when no kernel is provided. Other
exist, but this seems like a safe default.

This reverts commit ce2f74df2c.
Doubles are treated as -darwin here, to provide some consistency.
There is some ambiguity between “x86_64-darwin” and “i686-darwin”
which could refer to binaries linked between iOS simulator or real
macOS binaries. useiOSPrebuilt can be used to determine which to use,
however.
This makes things a little bit more convenient. Just pass in like:
$ nix-build ’<nixpkgs>’ -A hello --argstr localSystem x86_64-linux --argstr crossSystem aarch64-linux
Adds pkgsCross.wasm32 and pkgsCross.wasm64. Use it to build Nixpkgs
with a WebAssembly toolchain.
stdenv/cross: use static overlay on isWasm
isWasm doesn’t make sense dynamically linked.
It is useful to make these dynamic and not bake them into gcc. This
means we don’t have to rebuild gcc to change these values. Instead, we
will pass cflags to gcc based on platform values. This was already
done hackily for android gcc (which is multi-target), but not for our
own gccs which are single target.
To accomplish this, we need to add a few things:
- add ‘arch’ to cpu
- add NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE_BEFORE flag (goes before args)
- set -march everywhere
- set mcpu, mfpu, mmode, and mtune based on targetPlatform.gcc flags
cc-wrapper: only set -march when it is in the cpu type
Some architectures don’t have a good mapping of -march. For instance
POWER architecture doesn’t support the -march flag at all!

This makes us less reliant on the systems/examples.nix. You should be
able to cross compile with just your triple:
$ nix build --arg crossSystem '{ config = "armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabi"; }' stdenv
ppc64le and ppc64 are different targets in the configure script. We
can’t use the same one.
TODO: canonicalize similar ones based on qemu’s configure script.
New android ndk (18) now uses clang. We were going through the wrapper
that are provided. This lead to surprising errors when building.
Ideally we could use the llvm linker as well, but this leads to errors
as many packages don’t support the llvm linker.
Comments on conflicts:
- llvm: d6f401e1 vs. 469ecc70 - docs for 6 and 7 say the default is
to build all targets, so we should be fine
- some pypi hashes: they were equivalent, just base16 vs. base32
* add generic x86_32 support
- Add support for i386-i586.
- Add `isx86_32` predicate that can replace most uses of `isi686`.
- `isi686` is reinterpreted to mean "exactly i686 arch, and not say i585 or i386".
- This branch was used to build working i586 kernel running on i586 hardware.
* revert `isi[345]86`, remove dead code
- Remove changes to dead code in `doubles.nix` and `for-meta.nix`.
- Remove `isi[345]86` predicates since other cpu families don't have specific model predicates.
* remove i386-linux since linux not supported on that cpu
eabihf is an abi that can be used with ARM architectures that support
the “hard float”. It should probably only be used with ARM32 when you
are absolutely sure your binaries will run on ARM systems with a FPU.
Also, add an example "armhf-embedded" to match the preexisting
arm-embedded system. qmk_firmware needs hard float in a few places, so
add them here to get that to work.
Fixes#51184
You can use stdenv.hostPlatform.emulator to get an executable that
runs cross-built binaries. This could be any emulator. For instance,
we use QEMU to emulate Linux targets and Wine to emulate Windows
targets. To work with qemu, we need to support custom targets.
I’ve reworked the cross tests in pkgs/test/cross to use this
functionality.
Also, I’ve used talloc to cross-execute with the emulator. There
appears to be a cross-execute for all waf builds. In the future, it
would be nice to set this for all waf builds.
Adds stdenv.hostPlatform.qemuArch attrbute to get the qemuArch for
each platform.
- respect libc’s incdir and libdir
- make non-unix systems single threaded
- set LIMITS_H_TEST to false for avr
- misc updates to support new libc’s
- use multilib with avr
For threads we want to use:
- posix on unix systems
- win32 on windows
- single on everything else
For avr:
- add library directories for avrlibc
- to disable relro and bind
- avr5 should have precedence over avr3 - otherwise gcc uses the wrong one
This has been not touched in 6 years. Let's remove it to cause less
problems when adding new cross-compiling infrastructure.
This also simplify gcc significantly.
binutils expects x86_64-unknown-netbsd<version> (only 3 parts!). Any other combo seems to fail.
Also handle darwin versions similarly.

It wasn’t exactly clear which NDK you were using previously. This adds
an attribute to system that handles what version of the NDK we should
use when building things.
/cc @Ericson2314
In particular, now the mainline kernel can be built on the RPi 1 as well
(so kernelBaseConfig should always be a mainline defconfig from now on).
And RPi 2 users can now use linux_rpi without doing the
`nixpkgs.config.platform = lib.systems.platforms.raspberrypi2;` dance.
