ARM: 8723/2: always assume the "unified" syntax for assembly code

2017-12-17T22:14:21+00:00

The GNU assembler has implemented the "unified syntax" parsing since
2005. This "unified" syntax is required when the kernel is built in
Thumb2 mode. However the "unified" syntax is a mixed bag of features,
including not requiring a `#' prefix with immediate operands. This leads
to situations where some code builds just fine in Thumb2 mode and fails
to build in ARM mode if that prefix is missing. This behavior
discrepancy makes build tests less valuable, forcing both ARM and Thumb2
builds for proper coverage.

Let's "fix" this issue by always using the "unified" syntax for both ARM
and Thumb2 mode. Given that the documented minimum binutils version that
properly builds the kernel is version 2.20 released in 2010, we can
assume that any toolchain capable of building the latest kernel is also
"unified syntax" capable.

Whith this, a bunch of macros used to mask some differences between both
syntaxes can be removed, with the side effect of making LTO easier.

Merge tag 'kbuild-v4.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

2017-11-18T01:45:29+00:00

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is
  now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are
  expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the
  compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time,
  even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a
  hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and their
  results. The speed-up should be noticeable.

  Summary:

   - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh)

   - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts

   - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles

   - Cache variables that are expensive to compute

   - Improve cc-ldopton and ld-option for Clang

   - Optimize output directory creation"

Merge tag 'armsoc-soc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

2017-11-16T22:05:12+00:00

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Most of the commits are for defconfig changes, to enable newly added
  drivers or features that people have started using. For the changed
  lines lines, we have mostly cleanups, the affected platforms are OMAP,
  Versatile, EP93xx, Samsung, Broadcom, i.MX, and Actions.

  The largest single change is the introduction of the TI "sysc" bus
  driver, with the intention of cleaning up more legacy code.

  Two new SoC platforms get added this time:

   - Allwinner R40 is a modernized version of the A20 chip, now with a
     Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A7. According to the manufacturer, it is
     intended for "Smart Hardware"

   - Broadcom Hurricane 2 (Aka Strataconnect BCM5334X) is a family of
     chips meant for managed gigabit ethernet switches, based around a
     Cortex-A9 CPU.

  Finally, we gain SMP support for two platforms: Renesas R-Car E2 and
  Amlogic Meson8/8b, which were previously added but only supported
  uniprocessor operation"

ARM: 8716/1: pass endianness info to sparse

2017-11-01T19:14:49+00:00

ARM depends on the macros '__ARMEL__' & '__ARMEB__' being defined
or not to correctly select or define endian-specific macros,
structures or pieces of code.

These macros are predefined by the compiler but sparse knows
nothing about them and thus may pre-process files differently
from what gcc would.

Fix this by passing '-D__ARMEL__' or '-D__ARMEB__' to sparse,
depending on the endianness of the kernel, like defined by GCC.

Note: In most case it won't change anything since most ARMs use
      little-endian (but an allyesconfig would use big-endian!).

arm/kbuild: replace {C, LD}FLAGS_MODULE with KBUILD_{C, LD}FLAGS_MODULE

2017-10-30T15:36:58+00:00

As kbuild document & commit 6588169d51 says: KBUILD_{C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE are
used to add arch-specific options for $(CC) and $(LD). From commandline,
{C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE shall be used.
Doesn't have any functional change, but just follow kbuild rules.

ARM: 8701/1: fix sparse flags for build on 64bit machines

2017-10-12T10:18:19+00:00

By default sparse uses the characteristics of the build
machine to infer things like the wordsize.
This is fine when doing native builds but for ARM it's,
I suspect, very rarely the case and if the build are done
on a 64bit machine we get a bunch of warnings like:
  'cast truncates bits from constant value (... becomes ...)'

Fix this by adding the -m32 flags for sparse.

arm: Use full path in KBUILD_IMAGE definition

2017-03-20T13:42:20+00:00

The KBUILD_IMAGE variable is used by the rpm and deb-pkg targets, which
expect it to point to the image file in the build directory. The
builddeb script has a workaround for architectures which only provide
the basename, but let's provide a clean interface for packaging tools.
