* dependency: add LLVM (w/ Clang) as external dependency of kernelXi Ruoyao2022-10-121-1/+3
| | | | | Some kernel features (like, building the kernel with LTO) already requires Clang.

* temp bash: fix "support/config.guess: Permission denied"Xi Ruoyao2022-10-091-3/+3
| | | | | In bash-5.2 tarball config.guess is not executable, so we need to run the script with an explicit "sh".

* Fix sanity check in chapter 5Pierre Labastie2022-10-061-1/+1
| | | | | | When I changed the sanity check to remove the "dummy.c" file, I inadvertently used "gcc" instead of "$LFS_TGT-gcc". Which of course finds the host gcc...
* binutils: add a command to list failed testsXi Ruoyao2022-10-051-0/+4

* Emergency kernel updateDouglas R. Reno2022-10-042-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | Update to Linux-5.19.13 If you are using a laptop with an Intel GPU, it's imperative that you update immediately if you are running Linux-5.19.12. Failure to upgrade may result in permanent damage to the LCD display on your laptop. The root cause of this is improper backporting of bugfixes for the i915 DRM driver in the kernel.
* glibc: update total test countXi Ruoyao2022-10-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I have: 2 FAIL 5092 PASS 67 UNSUPPORTED 16 XFAIL 4 XPASS Let's not be too precise (or we'll need to explain the meaning of "UNSUPPORTED"). IMO "over 5000" is fine (until we get 5500 tests).
* binutils: don't wrap "gold" in <command>Xi Ruoyao2022-10-031-1/+1
| | | | | "gold" is not an installed program (it's named "ld.gold"). So IMO it's not proper to use <command>.
* binutils: gas tests fail because race conditionXi Ruoyao2022-10-031-2/+11
| | | | Again, I sincerely wish libtool can suffer a painful death.
* pkgmgt: fix two typosXi Ruoyao2022-10-021-2/+2

* package: add optional instruction to change the owner of downloaded packages ↵Xi Ruoyao2022-10-021-0/+10
| | | | | | | | to root Many users will create a user with the same username and UID so the files will still be owned by his/her. So make it optional by "If you won't assign the same UID for your user in the LFS system".
* reboot: fix /dev/shm unmounting commandXi Ruoyao2022-10-021-1/+1
| | | | /dev/shm may be a mount point, or a symlink.
* umount /dev/shm before rebootingPierre Labastie2022-10-021-0/+1
| | | | | Now that /dev/shm is always a mountpoint, it needs to be umounted otherwise dev cannot be umounted.

* kernfs: "device nodes" are in /dev, not "devices"Xi Ruoyao2022-10-011-1/+1
| | | | You cannot throw a NVIDIA GTX 690 into /dev :).
* kernfs: modernize the explanation for bind mounting /devXi Ruoyao2022-10-013-11/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If you are using a "modern" distro (with devtmpfs and a modern udev implementation), a bind mounting is actually not needed because you can mount devtmpfs anyway. The only reason for bind mounting is to be compatible with old host distros where /dev is a directory containing many static device nodes, or is a tmpfs (not same as devtmpfs) popluated by bootscript or an old udev (modern udev implementations, including eudev and systemd-udev used by LFS, strictly requires a devtmpfs on /dev). So update the explanation to match the status quo.
* kernfs: technically, they are not needed for chrootXi Ruoyao2022-10-012-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Chroot command itself does not require kernel VFS mounted. You can mount /proc, /sys, and /run after entering chroot with "mount -v -t proc proc /proc" etc. For /dev, if the host kernel supports devtmpfs, you can also mount /dev in chroot with "mount -v -t devtmpfs devtmpfs /dev". Even if the host does not support devtmpfs, it's still possible to mount /proc in chroot, then use "mount --bind /proc/1/dev /dev". It's just LFS editors decide to mount them before chroot. So reword some untrue assertions.

* Made grammatical corrections and stylistic changes to chapter 7.3.David Bryant2022-09-301-15/+17
| | | | | Added clarification; the virtual file systems expose certain information to programs in user space; chroot won't work without them.

| * libstdc++ "stage 3" is not rebuilt for the same reason as "stage 2"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-302-2/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm pretty sure "stage 2" libstdc++ (installed in ch6) is already fully featured. The reason to rebuild the stage 3 libstdc++ (or entire stage 3 gcc) is same as the reason to rebuild every packages in multiple chapters: to "settle down" it. Merge the content of https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html#rebuild-ch8 into the book as an explanation.

| * toolchain technical note: rewrite the descrption for tripletXi Ruoyao2022-09-301-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Don't say "most building system", refine the dicussion for autoconf. Other building systems may use a variant of triplet, or use a completely different system designation. - Explain why a triplet may contain 4 fields in detail. "Histroical reason" is not really correct because 3-field triplet is still used today for BSD, Fuchsia, IOS, Mac OS X (darwin), Solaris, etc. - "machine" triplet to "system" triplet (strictly speaking, only the first field in the triplet is for the machine). Why we need to say "vendor can be omitted" explicitly: we mention "gcc -dumpmachine". On some distros (like Ubuntu) the output has no vendor field. If you think this is too nasty, please remove both.

* toolchaintechnotes: update description about libstdc++Xi Ruoyao2022-09-291-5/+5
| | | | | Since r11.0-r199, libstdc++ pass 2 is built as a part of gcc pass 2, not in chroot.
* toolchaintechnotes: revert "second pass" -> "second version" changeXi Ruoyao2022-09-291-1/+1
| | | | "Pass 1" and "Pass 2" have specific meaning in LFS.
* toolchaintechnotes: add the rationale for cross compiling ch6 packagesXi Ruoyao2022-09-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | | "need to be cross compiled" alone does not make too much sense: we compile these packages in chapter 8 anyway. The real reason forcing a cross compilation is circular dependency: if building A needs B but building B needs A, we'll have to cross compile at least one of A and B or we won't be able to build either in the chroot.
* toolchaintechnotes: gcc -dumpmachine is similar to config.guess, but not sameXi Ruoyao2022-09-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | Many distros have some customized things in gcc -dumpmachine. RHEL uses x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, and Ubuntu uses x86_64-linux-gnu ("vendor" field omitted). So don't use "same" here, and also mention the "vendor" field is sometimes omitted.
* more clarification of "log in as lfs user"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-292-10/+12
| | | | | | And, don't recommended to "log in as lfs through a DM" anymore: if you log in through a DM then start a terminal emulator, the first shell in the emulator is often a non-login shell. It's not something we expect.
* addinguser: don't say "log in as lfs user"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "log in" is a specifically defined action on UNIces. When you log in as a user, an entry will be added into /run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp. But when you switch to lfs with "su", this won't happen. "man su" also describes "--login" as: Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. It's "similar to" logged in, not "really" logged in. So, don't say "log in" or the users may assume they must really log in as lfs in a VT or DM.
* Polish up the prose in "Toolchain Technical Notes". Fix capitalization.David Bryant2022-09-281-90/+91
| | | | | Rough edges remain. For instance, $LFS_TGT-ld is referenced, but not clearly defined. Will need to discuss wirh other editors to resolve.
