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: 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: Fix linking errors with CONFIG_MODULE + CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE At -Os, ARC gcc generates millicode thunk for function prologue/epilogue, which are served by libgcc. Modules historically are NOT linked with libgcc to avoid code bloat, reducing runtime relocation fixups etc. I even once tried doing that but got lost in makefile intricacies. This means modules at -Os don't get the millicode thunks, causing build failures below: | MODPOST 5 modules | ERROR: "__ld_r13_to_r18" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined! | ERROR: "__ld_r13_to_r18_ret" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined! | ERROR: "__st_r13_to_r18" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined! | ERROR: "__ld_r13_to_r17_ret" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined! | ERROR: "__st_r13_to_r17" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined! | ERROR: "__ld_r13_to_r16_ret" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined! | ERROR: "__st_r13_to_r16" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined! |.... |....

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: [DeviceTree] Basic support This is minimal infrastructure needed for devicetree work.

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: 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.
