Re: [Buildroot] [Automated-testing] Call for nommu LTP maintainer [was: Re: [PATCH 00/36] Remove UCLINUX from LTP]

Hi,

I want to clarify some things of the point of view of uClibc-ng
support.

There is support for following configurations for noMMU targets:
ARM:
 - FLAT with Linuxthreads supported (for Qemu you need a Linux patch)
 - FDPIC with NPTL supported (NPTL works only on real hardware not in Qemu)
 - ELF with Thread support not working

M68k:
 - FLAT with Linuxthreads supported
 - ELF with Thread support not working

RISCV64:
 - FLAT without Thread support
 - ELF with Thread support not working

RISCV32:
 - FLAT without Thread support, needs a small Linux Kernel patch

SH2/J2:
 - FLAT with Linuxthreads supported

Xtensa:
 - FLAT with Linuxthreads supported

There are some obsolete architectures supported by uClibc-ng, but
no longer supported by Linux:

Blackfin:
 - FLAT with Linuxthreads supported
 - FDPIC

H8300:
 - FLAT with Linuxthreads supported

C6X:
 - DSBT 

LM32:
 - FLAT

LTP requires NPTL to work, so the only testable platform is ARM with
FDPIC right now.
Unfortunately LTP 20230929 needs fork for some files:

RANLIB libltp.a

gmake[3]: *** [mk/build.mk:221: package/compile] Error 2
gmake[2]: *** [/home/wbx/arm/mk/build.mk:176: world] Error 2

So there is really work to be done to make the existing code work on noMMU.

best regards
 Waldemar
