ARM: 8819/1: Remove '-p' from LDFLAGS

2021-11-02T16:38:11+00:00

commit 091bb549f7722723b284f63ac665e2aedcf9dec9 upstream. This option is not supported by lld: ld.lld: error: unknown argument: -p This has been a no-op in binutils since 2004 (see commit dea514f51da1 in that tree). Given that the lowest officially supported of binutils for the kernel is 2.20, which was released in 2009, nobody needs this flag around so just remove it. Commit 1a381d4a0a9a ("arm64: remove no-op -p linker flag") did the same for arm64.

ARM: 9105/1: atags_to_fdt: don't warn about stack size

2021-09-22T09:41:23+00:00

commit b30d0289de72c62516df03fdad8d53f552c69839 upstream. The merge_fdt_bootargs() function by definition consumes more than 1024 bytes of stack because it has a 1024 byte command line on the stack, meaning that we always get a warning when building this file: arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c: In function 'merge_fdt_bootargs': arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c:98:1: warning: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] However, as this is the decompressor and we know that it has a very shallow call chain, and we do not actually risk overflowing the kernel stack at runtime here. This just shuts up the warning by disabling the warning flag for this file. Tested on Nexus 7 2012 builds.

ARM: shmobile: Remove obsolete zboot support

The last user of the zboot code was the KZM-A9-GT legacy board code, which has been removed. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

ARM: 8373/1: disable branch profiling in uncompressor

2015-05-27T23:29:14+00:00

The branch profiling code cannot work outside of the main kernel and just causes link errors if we try to use it in the decompressor. Disabling it here matches what we do for other architectures. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: shmobile: sh7372: Remove ZBOOT MMC/SDHI support

2015-02-23T21:45:24+00:00

Remove the sh7372 implementation and the shared ZBOOT MMC and SDHI support code from the compressed ARM boot loader. With this in place it is no longer possible to boot any self-contained kernel for sh7372 directly from Mask ROM via SDHI and MMCIF hardware.

ARM: 8153/1: Enable gcov support on the ARM architecture

2014-09-26T13:39:57+00:00

Enable gcov support for ARM based on original patches by David Singleton and George G. Davis Riku - updated to patch to current mainline kernel. The patch has been submitted in 2010, 2012 - for symmetry, now in 2014 too. https://lwn.net/Articles/390419/ http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=133823081813044 v2: remove arch/arm/kernel from gcov disabled files Cc: Andrey Ryabinin Cc: Naresh Kamboju Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Riku Voipio Signed-off-by: Vincent Sanders Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: simplify generation of compressed vmlinux.lds file

2014-07-01T14:01:51+00:00

As we are now using the C preprocessor, we do not need to use sed to edit constants in this file, and then pass the resulting file through the C preprocessor. Instead, rely solely on the C preprocessor to rewrite TEXT_START and BSS_ADDR. Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 8067/1: zImage: ensure header in LE format for BE8 kernels

2014-07-01T14:00:28+00:00

All known BE8-capable systems have LE bootloaders, so we need to ensure that the magic number and image start/end values are in little endian format.

ARM: 7877/1: use built-in byte swap function

2013-12-29T12:32:45+00:00

Enable the compiler intrinsic for byte swapping on arch ARM. This allows the compiler to detect and be able to optimize out byte swappings, and has a very modest benefit on vmlinux size (Linaro gcc 4.8): text data bss dec hex filename 2840310 123932 61960 3026202 2e2d1a vmlinux-lart #orig 2840152 123932 61960 3026044 2e2c7c vmlinux-lart #builtin-bswap 6473120 314840 5616016 12403976 bd4508 vmlinux-mxs #orig 6472586 314848 5616016 12403450 bd42fa vmlinux-mxs #builtin-bswap 7419872 318372 379556 8117800 7bde28 vmlinux-imx_v6_v7 #orig 7419170 318364 379556 8117090 7bdb62 vmlinux-imx_v6_v7 #builtin-bswap Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre Acked-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Russell King
