MIPS: IP22/IP32: Add line to arch/mips/Makefile archhelp about vmlinux.32

2014-11-24T06:45:33+00:00

Building a 64bit kernel for the SGI O2 (IP32) and the SGI Indy (IP22) uses
the 'vmlinux.32' target, which converts the output 64-bit 'vmlinux' image
into a 32-bit wrapped image.  This is needed for certain revisions of the
IP22 and IP32 ARCS PROMs to boot correctly, but this target is missing
from the 'archhelp' info that is emitted by 'make help'.

MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+

2014-11-07T14:07:36+00:00

Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:

{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
  LD      arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
 uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
 arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float

To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS;  but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

MIPS: Add support for building device-tree binaries

2014-09-22T11:35:49+00:00

Add a 'dtbs' Makefile target that just builds the device-tree binaries
enabled by the configuration.

MIPS: Create common infrastructure for building built-in device-trees

2014-09-22T11:35:49+00:00

In preparation for moving the device-trees to a common location,
introduce the config option BUILTIN_DTB, which can be selected by
platforms that use a device-tree built into the kernel image, and
create a Makefile to build the device-trees in arch/mips/boot/dts/.

MIPS: SmartMIPS: Disable assembler warnings

2014-09-17T12:29:03+00:00

The kernel code overrides the default ISA as passed by the compiler
in quite a few places. This has unfortunate side effects when smartmips
is enabled leading to hundreds of warnings during build such as:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:411: Warning: the `smartmips' extension requires MIPS32
revision 1 or greater
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:43: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the
`smartmips' extension
[...]

Until the kernel code is fixed properly (if possible), disable all the
assembler warning messages to make the build logs readable again.
This has no runtime side effects but it makes it easier to spot
more critical warnings and problems during build.

MIPS: SB1: Check optional compilation flags one by one

2014-07-30T13:53:49+00:00

This fixes a regression caused by commit
bb6c0bd3fdb67c8a1fceea1d4700b9ee593309f9 [MIPS: SB1: Fix excessive kernel
warnings.], that makes `-march=r5000' selected for compilation flags
rather than supposed `-march=sb1' with compilers that do not support the
ASE selection flags introduced with that change.

For example GCC 4.1.2 supports `-mips3d'/`-mno-mips3d' (and obviously
`-march=sb1'), however it does not support `-mdmx'/`-mno-mdmx'.  As a
result the whole selection of flags fails and compilation resorts to using
`-march=r5000', meant for really old compilers indeed only.

It is always best to pick the flags individually unless we are absolutely
sure a set of flags was introduced to the toolchain together (`-march=sb1'
and `-mtune=sb1' would be a good example), and this change makes it happen
for CONFIG_CPU_SB1.  Consequently the flags ultimately selected with GCC
4.1.2 are `-march=sb1 -Wa,--trap -mno-mips3d'

MIPS: Fix MSA toolchain support detection.

The '-mmsa' option is not supported by all current compilers. Change
the detection to instead pass the option directly to the assembler.

MIPS: SB1: Fix excessive kernel warnings.

2014-05-28T06:42:23+00:00

A kernel build with binutils 2.24 is going to emit warnings like

  CC      kernel/sys.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:701: Warning: the 32-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `mdmx' extension
{standard input}:701: Warning: the `mdmx' extension requires 64-bit FPRs
{standard input}:701: Warning: the `mips3d' extension requires MIPS32 revision 2 or greater
{standard input}:701: Warning: the `mips3d' extension requires 64-bit FPRs

for almost every file.  This is caused by changes to gas' interpretation
of .set semantics.  Fixed by explicitly disabling MIPS3D and MDMX for
Sibyte builds.

ieee754d.o contains only debug code and dp_sqrt.o and sp_sqrt.o contain
code which for MIPS I/II/III systems we don't want to link.  Again the
