ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker script Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several deficiencies: * Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT (e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..) * Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs) * cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive. The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches. Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt performance.

ARC: build: Better way to detect ISA compatible toolchain commit 20d780374c81cf237834af2202c26df2100ddd69 upstream. ARC architecture has 2 instruction sets: ARCompact/ARCv2. While same gcc supports compiling for either (using appropriate toggles), we can't use the same toolchain to build kernel because libgcc needs to be unique and the toolchian (uClibc based) is not multilibed. uClibc toolchain is convenient since it allows all userspace and kernel to be built with a single install for an ISA. This however means 2 gnu installs (with same triplet prefix) are needed for building for 2 ISA and need to be in PATH. As developers we keep switching the builds, but would occassionally fail to update the PATH leading to usage of wrong tools. And this would only show up at the end of kernel build when linking incompatible libgcc. So the initial solution was to have gcc define a special preprocessor macro DEFAULT_CPU_xxx which is unique for default toolchain configuration. Claudiu proposed using grep for an existing preprocessor macro which is again uniquely defined per ISA.

ARC: Override toplevel default -O2 with -O3 ARC kernels have historically been built with -O3, despite top level Makefile defaulting to -O2. This was facilitated by implicitly ordering of arch makefile include AFTER top level assigned -O2. An upstream fix to top level a1c48bb160f ("Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command line options") changed the ordering, making ARC -O3 defunct. Fix that by NOT relying on any ordering whatsoever and use the proper arch override facility now present in kbuild (ARCH_*FLAGS) Depends-on: ("kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flags") Suggested-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.16+ Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker script Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several deficiencies: * Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT (e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..) * Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs) * cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive. The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches. Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt performance.

ARC: [DeviceTree] Basic support This is minimal infrastructure needed for devicetree work. It uses an a sample "skeleton" devicetree - embedded in kernel image - to print the board, manufacturer by parsing the top-level "compatible" string. As of now we don't need any additional "board" specific "machine_desc".

arc: use common make variables for dtb builds Use dtb-y and always make variables to build dtbs instead of explicit dtbs rule. This is in preparation to support building all dtbs. Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

ARC: SMP support ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions. ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This includes: -Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI) -Cache coherency -load-locked/store-conditional ... The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler prologues to keep them re-entrant. Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012). Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is addressed in subsequent patches within this series.
