ARC: migrate to the generic rule for built-in DTB

2025-01-17T23:52:09+00:00

Commit 654102df2ac2 ("kbuild: add generic support for built-in boot DTBs") introduced generic support for built-in DTBs. Select GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB to use the generic rule. To keep consistency across architectures, this commit also renames CONFIG_ARC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME. Now, "nsim_700" is the default value for CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME, rather than a fallback in case it is empty. Acked-by: Vineet Gupta Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

ARC: build: Try to guess GCC variant of cross compiler

2024-12-13T22:39:24+00:00

ARC GCC compiler is packaged starting from Fedora 39i and the GCC variant of cross compile tools has arc-linux-gnu- prefix and not arc-linux-. This is causing that CROSS_COMPILE variable is left unset. This change allows builds without need to supply CROSS_COMPILE argument if distro package is used. Before this change: $ make -j 128 ARCH=arc W=1 drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/ gcc: warning: ‘-mcpu=’ is deprecated; use ‘-mtune=’ or ‘-march=’ instead gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mmedium-calls’ gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mlock’ gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-munaligned-access’ [1] https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/cross-gcc/gcc-arc-linux-gnu/index.html Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: entry: use gp to cache task pointer (vs. r25)

2023-08-18T03:31:59+00:00

The motivation is eventual ABI considerations for ARCv3 but even without it this change us worthwhile as diffstat reduces 100 net lines r25 is a callee saved register, normally not saved by entry code in pt_regs. However because of its usage in CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG it needs to be. This in turn requires a whole bunch of special casing when we need to access r25. Then there is distinction between user mode r25 vs. kernel mode r25 - hence distinct SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} Instead use gp which is a scratch register and thus saved already in entry code. This cleans things up significantly and much nocer on eyes: - SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} are now exactly same - no special user_r25 slot in pt_reggs Note that typical global asm registers are callee-saved (r25), but gp is not callee-saved thus needs additional -ffixed- toggle Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

kbuild: remove head-y syntax

2022-10-02T09:06:03+00:00

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux. Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry point. A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script. Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section, which is placed before the normal ".text" section. I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner. I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

kbuild: do not quote string values in include/config/auto.conf

2022-01-08T09:03:57+00:00

The previous commit fixed up all shell scripts to not include include/config/auto.conf. Now that include/config/auto.conf is only included by Makefiles, we can change it into a more Make-friendly form. Previously, Kconfig output string values enclosed with double-quotes (both in the .config and include/config/auto.conf): CONFIG_X="foo bar" Unlike shell, Make handles double-quotes (and single-quotes as well) verbatim. We must rip them off when used. There are some patterns: [1] $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_X)) [2] $(CONFIG_X:"%"=%) [3] $(subst ",,$(CONFIG_X)) [4] $(shell echo $(CONFIG_X)) These are not only ugly, but also fragile. [1] and [2] do not work if the value contains spaces, like CONFIG_X=" foo bar " [3] does not work correctly if the value contains double-quotes like CONFIG_X="foo\"bar" [4] seems to work better, but has a cost of forking a process. Anyway, quoted strings were always PITA for our Makefiles. This commit changes Kconfig to stop quoting in include/config/auto.conf. These are the string type symbols referenced in Makefiles or scripts: ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE ARC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME ARC_TUNE_MCPU BUILTIN_DTB_SOURCE CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH CC_VERSION_TEXT CFG80211_EXTRA_REGDB_KEYDIR EXTRA_FIRMWARE EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR EXTRA_TARGETS H8300_BUILTIN_DTB INITRAMFS_SOURCE LOCALVERSION MODULE_SIG_HASH MODULE_SIG_KEY NDS32_BUILTIN_DTB NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB SOC_CANAAN_K210_DTB_SOURCE SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS TARGET_CPU UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_FAMILY XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_HW_VER XTENSA_VARIANT_NAME I checked them one by one, and fixed up the code where necessary.

kbuild: use more subdir- for visiting subdirectories while cleaning

2021-10-24T04:49:46+00:00

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement. Since commit d92cc4d51643 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j) for "make clean". I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep" target no longer exists.

arc: replace cc-option-yn uses with cc-option

2021-09-02T23:17:20+00:00

cc-option-yn can be replaced with cc-option. ie. Checking for support: ifeq ($(call cc-option-yn,$(FLAG)),y) becomes: ifneq ($(call cc-option,$(FLAG)),) Checking for lack of support: ifeq ($(call cc-option-yn,$(FLAG)),n) becomes: ifeq ($(call cc-option,$(FLAG)),) This allows us to pursue removing cc-option-yn.

arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild is useful for Makefile cleanups because you can use the obj-y syntax. Add an empty file if it is missing in arch/$(SRCARCH)/. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to the perf interfaces. Remove the old oprofile's architecture specific support.
