[PATCH 0 of 5] build: various fixes for building with uclibc

[Roger Pau Monne]

This patch contains various fixes to the build system to allow
building xen under uclibc. Has been tested with uclibc 0.9.32 and
gcc 4.6.2, from Alpine Linux 2.3.2.

Please review, Roger.

blktap: remove HAVE_BYTESWAP_H checking, since it's defined by qemu

blktap was using defines set by qemu, even when the qemu config file
is not included. Remove this checkings, and instead check if the file
has been included before defining the necessary macros.

The output error is:

libxl: fix link issue on uclibc when using yajl

yajl makes use of the isnan isinf functions. On Glibc, these are
provided by libc, but on uClibc you need to link with -lm (like the
spec says), so ensure we do so.

This is basically saying "if the user hasn't already include byteswap.h"
but it seems to rely on that header using the precise guard _BYTESWAP_H
which I presume can differ across platforms. I don't think this is a
viable approach.

Given that we have our own definitions of these things any why not just
remove the ifdef and single the other #include of byteswap.h and always
use the ones we defined?

The other alternative is to remove our own version and always include
byteswap.h.

The right answer depends on how standardised byteswap.h is. It seems to
be in glibc but is it in uclibc and the BSD libcs? I can't find a
definitive reference but it seems like it is specified by POSIX?

If libyajl needs those symbols then it should link against libm itself
and not rely ion the application to do so. There should be no need for
an application using liyajl to do this itself when linking dynamically.

I suspect this is a bug in libyajl.

(if adding -lm were correct then it would be better to just do it
unconditionally)

uClibc 0.9.32 and later have byteswap.h.  Not sure about earlier versions.
byteswap.h is a GNU-ism though, and not in any of the BSDs as a result.

We should just ship these definitions directly in Xen and not depend on it.

From what I saw _BYTESWAP_H is defined in uclibc and glibc (Solaris
and NetBSD have their own preprocessor logic, so this doesn't apply to
them). It's just a safeguard that avoids redefining the macros if
someone has included byteswap.h behind our backs.

The solutions I see are:

 * Check if byteswap.h has been included (this patch).
 * undef bswap_* functions and define our own.
 * Include byteswap.h.

I've compiled yajl with -lm, but the same error comes up when
compiling libxl if -lm is not added also. Will look into it deeply.

Since it is libvhd which uses these symbols it should be libvhd and not
the utilities which links against it.

Can we not directly check for the need for libiconv instead of infering
it from the use of uclibc?

Does the standard say one way or the other if this library needs to be
explicitly linked?

If uclibc is using http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-libiconv.html
then
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4709178/how-do-i-link-glibcs-implementation-of-iconv suggests -DLIBICONV_PLUG which from looking at the source seems like it might work -- all seems a little bit backwards though.

I don't like this really.  I think it is wrong to imply that
$(CONFIG_UCLIBC) needs -liconv, as it is possible to build uClibc with
iconv support.  The real check here should be if we are running with
GNU libiconv I think.  Which makes me wonder why CONFIG_UCLIBC is
necessary at all.

   * Never include byteswap.h and use our own bswap_* functions which we

I think this is the correct option. No need to undef stuff. There is
only one other include of byteswap.h in blktap.

I don't like this approach as it introduces an explicit dependency on
gcc just to find out if we're on uclibc or not.  Please find a
different way to do this.  Checking for
/usr/include/bits/uClibc_config.h should be sufficient, e.g.

$(shell test -f /usr/include/bits/uClibc_config.h && echo 'y' || echo 'n')

This approach would be cleaner, please use it instead.

On uclibc, byteswap.h gets included by default, because _GNU_SOURCE
implies _BSD_SOURCE there. One solution is to add _POSIX_SOURCE, which
prevents the addition of _BSD_SOURCE.

What path of includes leads to the inclusion of byteswap.h?

This one:

stdlib.h -> sys/types.h -> endian.h -> (becasue __USE_BSD is defined) byteswap.h

Hrm :-/

So on the flip side which platforms don't have this header at all? 

William suggested BSD doesn't but the use of __USE_BSD seems to suggest
otherwise?

Does NetBSD have byteswap.h?

Nope, but NetBSD has it's own preprocessor case:

#if defined(__NetBSD__)
#include <sys/endian.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

Doesn't have byteswap.h per se, but the functions are there. NetBSD
and OpenBSD are covered, because they have their specific cases, so
only Solaris and Linux are left to this case.

Solaris isn't an issue these days.

So, I think the approach used by tools/blktap2/include/libvhd.h should
be used in tools/blktap2/drivers/bswap.h too. i.e. #include byteswap.h
for Linux and remove the local definitions of the swap functions/macros.

Ok, I've included endian.h and byteswap.h just like libvhd.h does.

Re: [PATCH 3 of 5] blktap2: fix vhd compilation under uclibc

What's strange is that libvhd (which uses iconv) compiles and links
fine, but vhd-util that uses libvhd complains about undefined
references to iconv, when vhd-util doesn't use iconv.

libvhd needs -liconv but it will compile and link without it fine. It is
only when you try to link something against that library that the
problem will manifest itself.

I have a expression that checks for libiconv, but it will only detect

Urgh, surely there's a better way!

Perhaps grepping for LIBICONV_PLUG or libiconv_open or something unique
in iconv.h would be better?

BTW did you try defining LIBICONV_PLUG?

grep -q LIBICONV_PLUG /usr/include/iconv.h && echo 'y' || echo 'n'

Does the job, but I don't know how reliable it is to rely on
LIBICONV_PLUG. Tested on NetBSD, Debian 6.0.3 and Alpine 2.3.2 with
success.

> BTW did you try defining LIBICONV_PLUG?

LIBICONV_PLUG should not be defined, because that prevents iconv from
defining iconv_open, iconv_close... as alias to libiconv_open,
libiconv_close... and libvhd uses this functions.

Re: [PATCH 3 of 5] blktap2: fix vhd compilation under uclibc

[Roger Pau Monné]

Hello,

I've added -liconv to blktap2/vhd/lib, and succesfully compiled and
linked the library. The output from ldd libvhd.so shows:

checking sub-depends for '/lib/libuuid.so.1'
checking sub-depends for '/usr/lib/libiconv.so.2'
checking sub-depends for '/lib/libc.so.0.9.32'
checking sub-depends for '/lib/ld64-uClibc.so.0.9.32'
	libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00000000)
	libiconv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libiconv.so.2 (0x00000000)
	libc.so.0.9.32 => /lib/libc.so.0.9.32 (0x00000000)
	ld64-uClibc.so.0.9.32 => /lib/ld64-uClibc.so.0.9.32 (0x00000000)
	not a dynamic executable

Then I've compiled and linked vhd tools (vhd-util and vhd-update)
without -liconv, since vhd tools doesn't use any iconv functions. They
compile fine, but when I try to execute them I get the following
error:

vhd-util: symbol 'libiconv_open': can't resolve symbol

If I do a ldd of vhd-util:

	libvhd.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libvhd.so.1.0 (0x7699efaf4000)
	libc.so.0.9.32 => /lib/libc.so.0.9.32 (0x7699ef88c000)
	libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x7699ef689000)
	ld64-uClibc.so.0.9.32 => /lib/ld64-uClibc.so.0.9.32 (0x7699efd10000)

How come libiconv is not linked to the application if libvhd is? And
what's most strange, why is the link to libuuid keep, but not the one
to libiconv?

Thanks, Roger.

I'm not a huge fan of this configuration approach, particularly for a
variant libc.  Rather, we should use portable constructs.

That will be gone on the new series I'm working on, the only thing I'm
missing is the libiconv stuff that's driving me nuts.

I don't think endian.h is necessary at all, so I've just included byteswap.h

Can you post the complete link line for each stage?

Are you sure that /usr/lib/libvhd.so.1.0 is the same one you just built
and linked against? Is there a chance you have linked against something
in the build directory which did not get properly installed?

Running
	objdump -p <object> | egrep NEEDED\|SONAME
for the library (both build dir and installed copies) and binary would
be interesting.

It seems like either this is a bug in uClibc's dynamic linker or my
expectation of how these sorts of transitive library dependencies work
has been set too high by glibc...

Yes, that is strange.

Ian.

Sorry, I'm just stupid, today I've realized what the problem was. It
was linked against and old /usr/lib/libvhd.so which was not compiled
with -liconv.

I still don't get the libuuid thing, but it works just fine now.

Presumably the old libvhd.so not compiled against -liconv _was_ compiled
with -luuid.
