2022-04-28doc: add minimum required kernel version to dependencies.mdfanquake
This matches the version of the kernel targeted when we build the glibcs we use for release builds in Guix. Other versions / scenerios may work, but for documentation purposes, this is the version that makes sense to document, and something we can claim to officially support.

It comes with the following benefits: * Can use C++17 P0083R3 std::set::merge from libc++ 8.0 * No longer need to provide support for clang-7, which already fails to compile on some architectures (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/21294#issuecomment-998098483) This should be fine, given that all supported operating systems ship with at least clang-10: * CentOS 8: clang-12 * Stretch: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/clang-11 * Buster: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/clang-11 * Bionic: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/clang-10 * Focal: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/clang-10 ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK fae20e6b50306f91c74037e915aa0ab75a0a6b3b - I think this is fine to do.

Anyway, it's still possible to build Bitcoin Core GUI with depends on bionic system. Bumping the minimum Qt version allows to make code safer and more reliable, e.g.: - functor-parameter overload of [`QMetaObject::invokeMethod`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmetaobject.html#invokeMethod-4) - fixed https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-10907 An example of the patch using the functor-overload of `QMetaObject::invokeMethod`: ```diff --- a/src/qt/walletmodel.cpp +++ b/src/qt/walletmodel.cpp @@ -349,7 +349,7 @@ bool WalletModel::changePassphrase(const SecureString &oldPass, const SecureStri static void NotifyUnload(WalletModel* walletModel) { qDebug() << "NotifyUnload"; - bool invoked = QMetaObject::invokeMethod(walletModel, "unload"); + bool invoked = QMetaObject::invokeMethod(walletModel, &WalletModel::unload); assert(invoked); } ``` It uses the same new syntax as signal-slot connection with compile-time check. Also see bitcoin/bitcoin#16348. This PR is intended to be merged early [after](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22969) branching `23.x` off.

This, for example, enables user to hook into production deployments, if they need to. Binaries don't have to be switched out. This is possible because we don't do [expensive computations](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tracing.md#no-expensive-computations-for-tracepoints) only needed for the tracepoints. The tracepoints are NOPs when not used. Systemtap's `sys/sdt.h` header is required to build Bitcoin Core with USDT support. The header file defines the `DTRACE_PROBE` macros used in [`src/util/trace.h`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/util/trace.h). This PR adds Systemtap 4.5 (May 2021) as dependency. GUIX builds for Linux hosts now include the tracepoints. Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/23297. ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK 6200fbf54fa919899d99f1cdd5ef88ec8b074cd6 - tested enabling / disabling and with/without SDT from depends. We can follow up with #23819, #23907 and #23296, and if any serious issues arise before feature freeze, it is easy for us to flip depends such that USDT becomes opt-in, rather than opt-out, and thus, releases would be tracepoint free.

2022-01-04build: add systemtap's sys/sdt.h as depends0xb10c
The sys/sdt.h header is required to build Bitcoin Core with Userspace Statically Defined Tracing support. Systemtap version 4.5 (May 2021) is used as the most recent version 4.6 (Nov 2021) fails to build. See e.g. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=systemtap.git;a=commit;h=1d3653936fc1fd13135a723a27e6c7e959793ad0 As Systemtap itself is not needed, the build steps (configure and make) are skipped. We require fewer build dependecies and don't waste time building depends we don't end up using. However, the configure step would normally processes sys/sdt-config.h.in. The resulting sdt-config.h defines _SDT_ASM_SECTION_AUTOGROUP_SUPPORT (either 0 or 1 to indicate whether the assembler supports "?" in .pushsection directives). For now, we assume all currently used assemblers supports this feature and remove the check from the sys/sdt.h header file in a patch. Co-authored-by: Michael Ford <fanquake@gmail.com>

2021-11-16build: require glibc 2.18+ for release buildsfanquake
From what I can see the only platform this drops support for is CentOS 7. CentOS 7 reached the end of it's "full update" support at the end of 2020. It does receive maintenance updates until 2024, however I don't think supporting glibc 2.17 until 2024 is realistic. Note that anyone wanting to self-compile and target a glibc 2.17 runtime could build with --disable-threadlocal. glibc 2.18 was released in August 2013. https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00160.html
