MIPS: Prefer cc-option for additions to cflags

2023-01-26T03:41:29+00:00

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: Always use -Wa,-msoft-float and eliminate GAS_HAS_SET_HARDFLOAT

2023-01-26T03:41:16+00:00

-Wa,-msoft-float is tested with as-option, which will be a problem for clang with an upcoming change to move as-option to use KBUILD_AFLAGS instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS due to a lack of '-mno-abicalls' in KBUILD_AFLAGS at the point that this check occurs; $(cflags-y) is added to KBUILD_AFLAGS towards the end of this file. clang: error: ignoring '-fno-PIE' option as it cannot be used with implicit usage of -mabicalls and the N64 ABI [-Werror,-Woption-ignored] This could be resolved by switching to a cc-option check but '$(cflags-y)' would need to be added so that '-mno-abicalls' is present for the test. However, this check is no longer necessary, as -msoft-float is supported by all supported assembler versions (GNU as 2.25+ and LLVM 11+). Eliminate GAS_HAS_SET_HARDFLOAT and all of its uses, inlining SET_HARDFLOAT where necessary.

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

2022-11-21T16:56:53+00:00

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

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.

mips: Always permit to build u-boot images

2022-03-07T12:11:20+00:00

The platforms where the kernel should be loaded above 0x8000.0000 do not support loading u-boot images, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be able to generate them. Additionally, since commit 79876cc1d7b8 ("MIPS: new Kconfig option ZBOOT_LOAD_ADDRESS"), the $(zload-y) variable was no longer hardcoded, which made it impossible to use the uzImage.bin target.

After commit 13ceb48bc19c ("MIPS: Loongson2ef: Remove unnecessary {as,cc}-option calls"), no need to use "ifdef need-compiler" for Kbuild.platforms, because the cause of the build issue mentioned in commit 0706f74f719e ("MIPS: fix *-pkg builds for loongson2ef platform") has been disappeared, so just remove it.

MIPS: fix *-pkg builds for loongson2ef platform

Since commit 805b2e1d427a ("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed"), package builds for the loongson2f platform fail. $ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-linux- lemote2f_defconfig bindeb-pkg [ snip ] sh ./scripts/package/builddeb arch/mips/loongson2ef//Platform:36: *** only binutils >= 2.20.2 have needed option -mfix-loongson2f-nop.
