parisc: Makefile: explain that 64BIT requires both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers

2025-08-28T14:26:08+00:00

commit 305ab0a748c52eeaeb01d8cff6408842d19e5cb5 upstream. For building a 64-bit kernel, both 32-bit and 64-bit VDSO binaries are built, so both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers (and tools) should be in the PATH environment variable.

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.

parisc: remove arch/parisc/nm

2022-05-29T09:39:35+00:00

Parisc overrides 'nm' with a shell script. I was hit by a false-positive error of $(NM) because this script returns the exit status of grep instead of ${CROSS_COMPILE}nm. (grep returns 1 if no lines were selected) I tried to fix it, but in the code review, Helge suggested to remove it entirely. [1] This script was added in 2003. [2] Presumably, it was a workaround for old toolchains (but even the parisc maintainer does not know the detail any more). Hopefully, recent tools should work fine.

kbuild: factor out the common installation code into scripts/install.sh

2022-05-11T12:45:53+00:00

Many architectures have similar install.sh scripts. The first half is really generic; it verifies that the kernel image and System.map exist, then executes ~/bin/${INSTALLKERNEL} or /sbin/${INSTALLKERNEL} if available. The second half is kind of arch-specific; it copies the kernel image and System.map to the destination, but the code is slightly different. Factor out the generic part into scripts/install.sh.

parisc: Always use the self-extracting kernel feature

2022-03-11T18:49:30+00:00

This patch drops the CONFIG_PARISC_SELF_EXTRACT option. The palo boot loader is able to decompress a kernel which was compressed with gzip. That possibility was useful when the Linux kernel self-extracting feature wasn't implemented yet. Beside the fact that the self-extracting feature offers much better compression rates, we do support self-extracting kernels already since kernel v4.14, so now it's really time to get rid of that old option and always use the self-extractor.

parisc: Add vDSO support

2022-03-11T18:49:30+00:00

Add minimal vDSO support, which provides the signal trampoline helpers, but none of the userspace syscall helpers like time wrappers. The big benefit of this vDSO implementation is, that we now don't need an executeable stack any longer. PA-RISC is one of the last architectures where an executeable stack was needed in oder to implement the signal trampolines by putting assembly instructions on the stack which then gets executed. Instead the kernel will provide the relevant code in the vDSO page and only put the pointers to the signal information on the stack. By dropping the need for executable stacks we avoid running into issues with applications which want non executable stacks for security reasons. Additionally, alternative stacks on memory areas without exec permissions are supported too. This code is based on an initial implementation by Randolph Chung from 2006: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-parisc/4544A34A.6080700@tausq.org/ I did the porting and lifted the code to current code base. Dave fixed the unwind code so that gdb and glibc are able to backtrace through the code. An additional patch to gdb will be pushed upstream by Dave.

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.
