The newlib & libgloss dirs are already generated using autoconf-2.69.
To avoid merging new code and/or accidental regeneration using diff
versions, leverage config/override.m4 to pin to 2.69 exactly. This
matches what gcc/binutils/gdb are already doing.
The README file already says to use autoconf-2.69.
To accomplish this, it's just as simple as adding -I flags to the
top-level config/ dir when running aclocal. This is because the
override.m4 file overrides AC_INIT to first require the specific
autoconf version before calling the real AC_INIT.
In order to transition to automake, we have to use hardcoded paths in
the AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR macro call (since automake evaluates the path
itself, and doesn't expand vars), so simplify all the calls here.
Regenerate the files using automake-1.15 & autoconf-2.69 to match the
binutils/gdb/gcc projects. Ran:
libgloss $ find -name configure.ac -printf '%h\n' | while read d; do
(cd $d; export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.69 WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.15;
aclocal-1.15 -I.. && autoconf-2.69); done
The file configure.in was renamed to configure.ac in libgloss/riscv but
the hard coded name in the Makefile for that directory was not updated.
This patch simply renamed this to configure.ac.
The current implementation does not reliably initialize t0 once.
Additionally the initialization requires two calls to _gettimeofday().
Let's sacrifice a byte to keep the initialization status
and reduce the maximum number of calls to _gettimeofday().
This has caused issues in an application that invokes clock().
The problematic situation is as follows:
1) The program calls clock() which calls _times().
2) _gettimeofday(&t0, 0) puts 0 in t0.tv_usec (because less than 1 us has
elapsed since the beginning of time).
3) _gettimeofday(&t, 0) puts 1 in t.tv_usec (since now more than 1 us has
elapsed since the beginning of time).
4) That call to clock() returns 1 (the value from step 3 minus the value in
step 2).
5) The program does a second call to clock().
6) The code above still sees 0 in t0 so it tries to update t0 again and
_gettimeofday(&t0, 0) puts 1 in t0.tv_usec.
7) The _gettimeofday(&t, 0) puts 1 in t.tv_usec (since less than 1us has
elapsed since step 3).
8) clock() returns 0 (step 7 minus step 6) and indicates that time is
moving backwards.

- RISC-V 32 bits linux/glibc didn't provide gettimeofday anymore
after upstream, because RV32 didn't have backward compatible issue,
so RV32 only support 64 bits time related system call.
- So using clock_gettime64 call instead for rv32 libgloss.
Previously, __internal_syscall() compiled into asm-code that unconditionally
sets the syscall argument registers a0 to a5.
For example, the instruction sequence for a exit syscall looked like
this:
li a0, 1 # in ther caller of exit()
# ... # in newlib:
li a1, 0 # unused arguments
li a2, 0
li a3, 0
li a4, 0
li a5, 0
li a7, 93 # exit syscall number
(i.e. the binary contains then 5 superfluous instructions for this
one argument syscall)
This commit changes the RISC-V syscall code such that only the required
syscall argument registers are set.
GCC detects that argc is known at compile time and thus evaluates all the
if-statements where argc is used at compile time (tested with -O2 and -Os).
The libm gamma functions use the _gamma_signgam field of the reentrant
structure, which changes offset with the --enable-newlib-reent-small
configure option, which means we need to use a newlib nano specific
version of libm in addition to libc in the nano.specs file. Reported
by Keith Packard. There is a riscv-gnu-toolchain patch that goes
along with this to create the new libm_nano.a file.

This patch adds _LITE_EXIT in crt0.S to enable "lite exit" technique in
RISC-V. The changes have been tested in riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain by
riscv-dejagnu with riscv-sim.exp/riscv-sim-nano.exp.
Upon successful completion, times() shall return the elapsed real time,
in clock ticks, since an arbitrary point in the past (for example,
system start-up time).

Introduce new host configuration variable "have_init_fini" which is set
to "yes" by default. Override it for RISC-V to "no".
