MIPS: generic: fix out-of-tree defconfig target builds

2017-04-11T11:17:31+00:00

When specifying a generic defconfig target with O=... option set, make
is invoked in the output location before a target makefile wrapper is
created. Ensure that the correct makefile is used by specifying the
kernel source makefile during make invocation.

This fixes the either of the following errors:

$ make sead3_defoncifg ARCH=mips O=test
make[1]: Entering directory '/mnt/ssd/MIPS/linux-next/test'

MIPS: Disable stack checks on MIPS kernels

2017-02-14T09:00:23+00:00

Disable stack checking on MIPS kernels.  Some distribution toolchains
might pass the -fstack-check option to gcc.  This results in a
store-doubleword instruction being emitted at the top of all
functions that checks the available stack space.  E.g.,

  a80000000001d740 :
  a80000000001d740:       ffa0bfc0        sd      zero,-16448(sp)
  a80000000001d744:       2405ffc9        li      a1,-55
  a80000000001d748:       67bdffc0        daddiu  sp,sp,-64

Generally, this is undesirable, and especially on the SGI IP27
platform, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference in
'_raw_spin_lock_irq' during early init.

MIPS: 'make -s' should be silent

2017-01-25T01:51:09+00:00

A clean mips64 build produces no output except for two lines:

  Checking missing-syscalls for N32
  Checking missing-syscalls for O32

On other architectures, there is no output at all, so let's do the
same here for the sake of build testing. The 'kecho' macro is used
to print the message on a normal build but skip it with 'make -s'.

MIPS: Use Makefile.postlink to insert relocations into vmlinux

2017-01-03T15:34:37+00:00

When relocatable support for MIPS was merged, there was no support for
an architecture to add a postlink step for vmlinux. This meant that only
invoking a target within the boot directory, such as uImage, caused the
relocations to be inserted into vmlinux. Building just the vmlinux
target would result in a relocatable kernel with no relocation
information present.

Commit fbe6e37dab97 ("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile")
recified this situation, so MIPS can now define a postlink step to add
relocation information into vmlinux, and remove the additional steps
tacked onto boot targets.

MIPS: zboot: Add "uzImage.bin" target

2017-01-03T15:34:31+00:00

uzImage.bin is vmlinuz.bin wrapped in a legacy U-Boot image. Since
the extraction code is inside the image, it does not depend on the
boot loader to extract the kernel.

MIPS: Fix build of compressed image

2016-11-03T23:37:15+00:00

Changes introduced to arch/mips/Makefile for the generic kernel resulted
in build errors when making a compressed image if platform-y has multiple
values, like this:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `alchemy/'.
make[1]: *** [vmlinuz] Error 2
make[1]: Target `_all' not remade because of errors.
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: Target `_all' not remade because of errors.

Fix this by quoting $(platform-y) as it is passed to the Makefile in
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile

MIPS: generic: Convert SEAD-3 to a generic board

2016-10-06T16:04:20+00:00

Convert the MIPS SEAD-3 board support to be a generic board, supported
by generic kernels.

Because the SEAD-3 boot protocol was defined long ago and we don't want
to force a switch to the UHI protocol, SEAD-3 is added as a legacy board
which is detected by reading the REVISION register. This may technically
not be a valid memory read & future work will include attempting to
handle that gracefully. In practice since SEAD-3 is the only legacy
board supported by the generic kernel so far the read will only happen
on SEAD-3 boards, and even once Malta is converted the same REVISION
register exists there too. Other boards such as Boston, Ci20 & Ci40 will
use the UHI boot protocol & thus not run any of the legacy board detect
functions.

MIPS: generic: Introduce generic DT-based board support

2016-10-06T16:04:04+00:00

Introduce a "generic" platform, which aims to be board-agnostic by
making use of device trees passed by the boot protocol defined in the
MIPS UHI (Universal Hosting Interface) specification. Provision is made
for supporting boards which use a legacy boot protocol that can't be
changed, but adding support for such boards or any others is left to
followon patches.

Right now the built kernels expect to be loaded to 0x80100000, ie. in
kseg0. This is fine for the vast majority of MIPS platforms, but
nevertheless it would be good to remove this limitation in the future by
mapping the kernel via the TLB such that it can be loaded anywhere & map
itself appropriately.

Configuration is handled by dynamically generating configs using
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh, somewhat similar to the way powerpc
makes use of it. This allows for variations upon the configuration, eg.
differing architecture revisions or subsets of driver support for
differing boards, to be handled without having a large number of
defconfig files.

MIPS: Support generating Flattened Image Trees (.itb)

2016-10-06T16:03:10+00:00

Add support for generating kernel images in the Flattened Image Tree
(.itb) format as supported by U-Boot. This format is essentially a
Flattened Device Tree binary containing images (kernels, DTBs, ramdisks)
and configurations which link those images together. The big advantages
of FIT images over the uImage format are:

  - We can include FDTs in the kernel image in a way that the bootloader
    can extract it & manipulate it before providing it to the kernel.
    Thus we can ship FDTs as part of the kernel giving us the advantages
    of being able to develop & maintain the DT within the kernel tree,
    but also have the benefits of the bootloader being able to
    manipulate the FDT. Example uses for this would be to inject the
    kernel command line into the chosen node, or to fill in the correct
    memory size.

  - We can include multiple configurations in a single kernel image.
    This means that a single FIT image can, given appropriate
    bootloaders, be booted on different boards with the bootloader
    selecting an appropriate configuration & providing the correct FDT
    to the kernel.

  - We can support a multitude of hashes over the data.

MIPS: Remove compact branch policy Kconfig entries

2016-09-13T12:14:50+00:00

Commit c1a0e9bc885d ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed")
added Kconfig entries allowing for the compact branch policy used by the
compiler for MIPSr6 kernels to be specified. This can be useful for
debugging, particularly in systems where compact branches have recently
been introduced.

Unfortunately mainline gcc 5.x supports MIPSr6 but not the
-mcompact-branches compiler flag, leading to MIPSr6 kernels failing to
build with gcc 5.x with errors such as:

  mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mcompact-branches=optimal'
  make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1

Fixing this by hiding the Kconfig entry behind another seems to be more
hassle than it's worth, as MIPSr6 & compact branches have been around
for a while now and if policy does need to be set for debug it can be
done easily enough with KCFLAGS. Therefore remove the compact branch
policy Kconfig entries & their handling in the Makefile.

This reverts commit c1a0e9bc885d ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to
be changed").
