mips: Include KBUILD_CPPFLAGS in CHECKFLAGS invocation

2025-06-27T10:05:21+00:00

commit 08f6554ff90ef189e6b8f0303e57005bddfdd6a7 upstream. A future change will move CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS so that '--target' is available while preprocessing. When that occurs, the following error appears when building ARCH=mips with clang (tip of tree error shown): clang: error: unsupported option '-mabi=' for target 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS in the CHECKFLAGS invocation to keep everything working after the move.

MIPS: Prefer cc-option for additions to cflags

2025-06-27T10:05:21+00:00

commit 337ff6bb8960fdc128cabd264aaea3d42ca27a32 upstream. A future change will switch as-option to use KBUILD_AFLAGS instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS to allow clang to drop -Qunused-arguments, which may cause issues if the flag being tested requires a flag previously added to KBUILD_CFLAGS but not KBUILD_AFLAGS. Use cc-option for cflags additions so that the flags are tested properly.

MIPS: Move '-Wa,-msoft-float' check from as-option to cc-option

2025-06-27T10:05:21+00:00

This patch is for linux-6.1.y and earlier, it has no direct mainline equivalent. In order to backport commit d5c8d6e0fa61 ("kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper flags and language target") to resolve a separate issue regarding PowerPC, the problem noticed and fixed by commit 80a20d2f8288 ("MIPS: Always use -Wa,-msoft-float and eliminate GAS_HAS_SET_HARDFLOAT") needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, 6.1 and earlier do not contain commit e4412739472b ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25"), so it cannot be assumed that all supported versions of GNU as have support for -msoft-float. In order to switch from KBUILD_CFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS in as-option without consequence, move the '-Wa,-msoft-float' check to cc-option, including '$(cflags-y)' directly to avoid the issue mentioned in commit 80a20d2f8288 ("MIPS: Always use -Wa,-msoft-float and eliminate GAS_HAS_SET_HARDFLOAT").

MIPS: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"

2023-09-23T09:10:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit d42f0c6ad502c9f612410e125ebdf290cce8bdc3 ] The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build now contains warnings that look like: egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead. Here are the steps to install the latest grep: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make sudo make install export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer Stable-dep-of: 4fe4a6374c4d ("MIPS: Only fiddle with CHECKFLAGS if `need-compiler'") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

MIPS: Only fiddle with CHECKFLAGS if `need-compiler'

2023-09-19T10:23:04+00:00

commit 4fe4a6374c4db9ae2b849b61e84b58685dca565a upstream. We have originally guarded fiddling with CHECKFLAGS in our arch Makefile by checking for the CONFIG_MIPS variable, not set for targets such as `distclean', etc. that neither include `.config' nor use the compiler. Starting from commit 805b2e1d427a ("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed") we have had a generic `need-compiler' variable explicitly telling us if the compiler will be used and thus its capabilities need to be checked and expressed in the form of compilation flags. If this variable is not set, then `make' functions such as `cc-option' are undefined, causing all kinds of weirdness to happen if we expect specific results to be returned, most recently: cc1: error: '-mloongson-mmi' must be used with '-mhard-float' messages with configurations such as `fuloong2e_defconfig' and the `modules_install' target, which does include `.config' and yet does not use the compiler. Replace the check for CONFIG_MIPS with one for `need-compiler' instead, so as to prevent the compiler from being ever called for CHECKFLAGS when not needed.

MIPS: Fix CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS `modules_install' regression

2023-09-19T10:23:02+00:00

commit a79a404e6c2241ebc528b9ebf4c0832457b498c3 upstream. Remove a build-time check for the presence of the GCC `-msym32' option. This option has been there since GCC 4.1.0, which is below the minimum required as at commit 805b2e1d427a ("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed"), when an error message: arch/mips/Makefile:306: *** CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS unsupported without -msym32. Stop. started to trigger for the `modules_install' target with configurations such as `decstation_64_defconfig' that set CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS, because said commit has made `cc-option-yn' an undefined function for non-build targets.

MIPS: fix *-pkg builds for loongson2ef platform
