| | | | | | perfect tense when appropriate. Replace "dlopening" with "opening dynamically linked libraries" ... "dlopen" may be a Linux command, but that doesn't make it a verb in English.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 0298c764d8ae6a6e2b237bad78512496dfc14fab. We don't use spaces around &mdash anywhere else in the book.
| * Rewrote a cumbersome sentence to make it clearer. Capitalized theDavid Bryant2022-11-221-35/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | names of packages. Clarified verbiage in re PIE & ASLR. Improved the description of SSP, and tightened it up. Clarified the instructions for running tests concurrently. Modified descriptions of tests that fail. Patched up punctuation. Spelled "set up" correctly: "setup" is a noun. The phrasal verb used here is spelled as two words. Use the word "directives" to describe "#include" and similar preprocessor instructions. Add periods to some otherwise complete sentences.

* shadow: update desc of libsubidXi Ruoyao2022-11-231-1/+1
| | | | | | I was using the transitive verb "process" here, not the noun. Use another word to avoid the ambiguity. Also add "and groups" because there is also subgid alongside subuid.

| | | | | To me "has been created" is not correct. Or maybe it's some advanced usage of English I don't understand...

* wheel: build the wheel archive of wheel itselfXi Ruoyao2022-11-221-10/+38

* gcc: remove --disable-decimal-float from pass 1 and 2Xi Ruoyao2022-11-222-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | We need to enable decimal float here or MPFR will be built w/o decimal float support. Then 2 of 183 tests will be skipped, and this will also cause an ICA issue. Q: Why we need decimal float in pass 1? A: We need pass-1 GCC with decimal float support to build decimal float routines in pass-2 libgcc.
* Straighten out capitalization, correct a few grammatical errors,David Bryant2022-11-215-57/+56
| | | | | improve English idiom, clarify a few things, remove superfluous verbiage, etc.
* Merrriam-Webster says "alongside" is one word. Clarified some muddledDavid Bryant2022-11-181-9/+9
| | | | | | | verbiage. Used the subjunctive mood once. "Test suite" is two words, not one. Patched some unidiomatic English. Used the plural "headers" when discussing ELF objects. Used singular verbs to describe "gprofng", for consistency with other items.
* Rectify a redundancy/explain how to say tcl. Use correct spelling forDavid Bryant2022-11-181-5/+5
| | | | | the Binutils package. Patch up an ungrammatical sentence (the plural subject "instructions" requires pural verbs).

* Corrected a grammatical error: the subordinate clause "that offers ..."David Bryant2022-11-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | modifies the plural noun "libraries"; it must use a plural verb. Clarified how many "configure" options Readline uses. Tightened the prose, and used the definite article in lieu of the indefinite article, because only one readline.pc file can possibly be the "correct" one.

* pkgmgt: reword the description of cfg files handlingXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-2/+3
| | | | Let's not miss the point...
* chapter08: reword description of compiler optimizationsXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | We don't recommend customizing optimizations, but we use optimizations provided by package default or release build mode. Reword the paragraph so the people won't be puzzled once they see "--enable-optimizations" in Python, or "--buildtype=release" (to prevent unoptimized build) in BLFS meson commands.
* glibc: Decapitalize nsswitch.confXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-1/+1
| | | | | In UNIX file names are case-sensitive. You cannot capitialize it even if it appears in a title.
* kernfs: reword the description of bind mountXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | "Duplicated copy" is wrong IMO. If you copy A to B, B won't be changed when you modify A. But if you bind mount A to B, B will reflect any change made to A. Again copy something from mount(2): A bind mount makes a file or a directory subtree visible at another point within the single directory hierarchy.
* kernfs: remove a false noteXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Things are a little tricky: 1. If the host is "modern" (any desktop distro after 2013), the kernel supports devtmpfs and the host udev will do adjustments to the devtmpfs. All instances of devtmpfs shares the same content so we'll see the work of both the kernel and the host udev in chroot. 2. If the host is old but the kernel supports devtmpfs (i. e. the host is not using devtmpfs for its /dev), when we mount devtmpfs on $LFS/dev we'll see the work of the kernel in chroot, but not the work of udev. **Building LFS does not need any work of udev.** 3. If the host is very old and the kernel does not support devtmpfs at all, we can't mount devtmpfs. Mounting a devtmpfs will work for 1 and 2, while bind mounting will work for 1, 2, and 3. So we use bind mounting here. I don't want to squash all these details into the book, so just remove the false statement here.
* chroot: reword how chroot worksXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Technically chroot command "tells" bash nothing. It basically calls chroot("$LFS"), then chdir("/"), then execve(["/usr/bin/env", "-i", ...]). The kernel also does not tell bash something like "hey, the root is now $LFS" but just executes (almost) all system calls from bash as-if $LFS is /. The man page of chroot says: DESCRIPTION Run COMMAND with root directory set to NEWROOT. Just use the same grammar construction here.
* glibc: it should be --disable-werror, not --disable-WerrorXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Please try not to use the "replace" feature of the text editor blindly. Appendix C of the GNU C Library Reference Manual clearly says: '--disable-werror' By default, the GNU C Library is built with '-Werror'. If you wish to build without this option (for example, if building with a newer version of GCC than this version of the GNU C Library was tested with, so new warnings cause the build with '-Werror' to fail), you can configure with '--disable-werror'.
* Correctd the spelling of "Werror" -- it's "-Werror" in GCC, butDavid Bryant2022-11-171-2/+2
| | | | | it's "--disable-error" in Glibc. Thanks to Thomas Trepl for spotting my mistake.

* wheel: switch download URLXi Ruoyao2022-11-112-3/+4
| | | | | Avoid the necessity to upload a tarball onto anduin. The URL does not contain long checksum and it produces a tarball with the same md5sum.
* systemd: fix and simply the command to disable systemd-sysupdateXi Ruoyao2022-11-041-7/+3
| | | | | | | "systemd disable" seems a typo... And we don't need the ".timer" suffix because these .service units are tied to the .timer units.
