2018-08-24kbuild: rename LDFLAGS to KBUILD_LDFLAGSMasahiro Yamada
Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS. Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS. Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed. Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental override of the variable. Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the naming convention. I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system is a different world. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

Similarly as we just did for 32-bit, add phony targets for generating a little endian and Book3E allmodconfig. These aren't covered by the regular allmodconfig, which is big endian and Book3S due to the way the Kconfig symbols are structured. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2018-07-24powerpc: Add ppc32_allmodconfig defconfig targetMichael Ellerman
Because the allmodconfig logic just sets every symbol to M or Y, it has the effect of always generating a 64-bit config, because CONFIG_PPC64 becomes Y. So to make it easier for folks to test 32-bit code, provide a phony defconfig target that generates a 32-bit allmodconfig. The 32-bit port has several mutually exclusive CPU types, we choose the Book3S variants as that's what the help text in Kconfig says is most common.

2018-06-19powerpc/e500mc: Set assembler machine type to e500mcMichael Jeanson
In binutils 2.26 a new opcode for the "wait" instruction was added for the POWER9 and has precedence over the one specific to the e500mc. Commit ebf714ff3756 ("powerpc/e500mc: Add support for the wait instruction in e500_idle") uses this instruction specifically on the e500mc to work around an erratum. This results in an invalid instruction in idle_e500 when we build for the e500mc on bintutils >= 2.26 with the default assembler machine type. Since multiplatform between e500 and non-e500 is not supported, set the assembler machine type globaly when CONFIG_PPC_E500MC=y.

2018-06-01powerpc/kbuild: Use flags variables rather than overriding LD/CC/ASNicholas Piggin
The powerpc toolchain can compile combinations of 32/64 bit and big/little endian, so it's convenient to consider, e.g., `CC -m64 -mbig-endian` To be the C compiler for the purpose of invoking it to build target artifacts. So overriding the CC variable to include these flags works for this purpose. Unfortunately that is not compatible with the way the proposed new Kconfig macro language will work. After previous patches in this series, these flags can be carefully passed in using flags instead.

2018-06-01powerpc/kbuild: Set default generic machine type for 32-bit compileNicholas Piggin
Some 64-bit toolchains uses the wrong ISA variant for compiling 32-bit kernels, even with -m32. Debian's powerpc64le is one such case, and that is because it is built with --with-cpu=power8. So when cross compiling a 32-bit kernel with a 64-bit toolchain, set -mcpu=powerpc initially, which is the generic 32-bit powerpc machine type and scheduling model. CPU and platform code can override this with subsequent -mcpu flags if necessary. This is not done for 32-bit toolchains otherwise it would override their defaults, which are presumably set appropriately for the environment (moreso than a 64-bit cross compiler). This fixes a lot of build failures due to incompatible assembly when compiling 32-bit kernel with the Debian powerpc64le 64-bit toolchain.

2017-12-11powerpc/modules: Fix alignment of .toc section in kernel modulesAlan Modra
powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access part of an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc pointer relative address then code like the following is possible. addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha ld r3,var@toc@l(r9) ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9) This works fine so long as var is naturally aligned, *and* r2 is sufficiently aligned. If not, there is a possibility that the offset added to access var+8 wraps over a n*64k+32k boundary. Modules don't have any guarantee that r2 is sufficiently aligned. Moreover, code generated by older compilers generates a .toc section with 2**0 alignment, which can result in relocation failures at module load time even without the wrap problem. Thus, this patch links modules with an aligned .toc section (Makefile and module.lds changes), and forces alignment for out of tree modules or those without a .toc section (module_64.c changes).

2017-07-26powerpc/Makefile: Fix ld version check with 64-bit LE-only toolchainMichael Ellerman
In commit efe0160cfd40 ("powerpc/64: Linker on-demand sfpr functions for modules"), we added an ld version check early in the powerpc top-level Makefile. Because the Makefile runs before the kernel config is setup, the checks for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN etc. all take the default case. So we end up configuring ld for 32-bit big endian. That would be OK, except that for historical (or perhaps no) reason, we use 'override LD' to add the endian flags to the LD variable itself, rather than the normal approach of adding them to LDFLAGS. The end result is that when we check the ld version we run it as: $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -EB -m elf32ppc --version This often works, unless you are using a 64-bit only and/or little endian only, toolchain. In which case you see something like: $ make defconfig powerpc64le-linux-ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim /bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator The proper fix is to stop using 'override LD', but that will require a fair bit of testing. Instead we can fix it for now just by reordering the Makefile to do the version check earlier.

2017-04-28powerpc: Use the new post-link pass to check relocationsNicholas Piggin
Currently powerpc has to introduce a dependency on its default build target zImage in order to run a relocation check pass over the linked vmlinux. This is deficient because the check is not run if the plain vmlinux target is built, or if one of the other boot targets is built. Switch to using the kbuild post-link pass, added in commit fbe6e37dab97 ("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile") in order to run this check. In future powerpc will use this to do more complicated operations, but initially using it for something simple is a good first step.

2017-03-03powerpc: Fix compiling a BE kernel with a powerpc64le toolchainNicholas Piggin

2016-11-29powerpc: Stop passing ARCH=ppc64 to boot MakefileMichael Ellerman
Back in 2005 when the ppc/ppc64 merge started, we used to build the kernel code in arch/powerpc but use the boot code from arch/ppc or arch/ppc64 depending on whether we were building for 32 or 64-bit. Originally we called the boot Makefile passing ARCH=$(OLDARCH), where OLDARCH was ppc or ppc64. In commit 20f629549b30 ("powerpc: Make building the boot image work for both 32-bit and 64-bit") (2005-10-11) we split the call for 32/64-bit using an ifeq check, because the two Makefiles took different targets, and explicitly passed ARCH=ppc64 for the 64-bit case and ARCH=ppc for the 32-bit case. Then in commit 94b212c29f68 ("powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpc") (2005-11-16) we moved the boot code into arch/powerpc and dropped the ppc case, but kept passing ARCH=ppc64 to arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile. Since then there have been several more boot targets added, all of which have copied the ARCH=ppc64 setting, such that now we have four targets using it. Currently it seems that nothing actually uses the ARCH value, but that's basically just luck, and in particular it prevents us from using the generic cpp_lds_S rule. It's also clearly wrong, ARCH=ppc64 is dead, buried and cremated. Fix it by dropping the setting of ARCH completely, the correct value is exported by the top level Makefile.

When we're not compiling for a specific CPU, ie. none of the CONFIG_POWERx_CPU options are set, and CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU *is* set, we currently don't pass any -mcpu option to the compiler. This means the compiler builds for a "generic" Power CPU. But back in 2014 we dropped support for pre power4 CPUs in commit 468a33028edd ("powerpc: Drop support for pre-POWER4 cpus"). Given that, there's no point in building the kernel to run on pre power4 cpus. So update the flags we pass to the compiler when CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is set, to specify -mcpu=power4.

2016-08-10powerpc/Makefile: Use cflags-y/aflags-y for setting endian optionsMichael Ellerman
When we introduced the little endian support, we added the endian flags to CC directly using override. I don't know the history of why we did that, I suspect no one does. Although this mostly works, it has one bug, which is that CROSS32CC doesn't get -mbig-endian. That means when the compiler is little endian by default and the user is building big endian, vdso32 is incorrectly compiled as little endian and the kernel fails to build. Instead we can add the endian flags to cflags-y/aflags-y, and then append those to KBUILD_CFLAGS/KBUILD_AFLAGS. This has the advantage of being 1) less ugly, 2) the documented way of adding flags in the arch Makefile and 3) it fixes building vdso32 with a LE toolchain.

2016-03-07powerpc/ftrace: Add Kconfig & Make glue for mprofile-kernelTorsten Duwe
Firstly we add logic to Kconfig to allow a user to choose if they want mprofile-kernel. This has to be user-selectable because only some current toolchains support it. If we enabled it unconditionally we would prevent some users from building the kernel entirely. Arguably it would be nice if we could detect if mprofile-kernel was available, and use it then. However that would violate the principle of least surprise because a user having choosen options such as live patching, would then see them quietly disabled at build time. We also make the user selectable option negative, ie. it disables when selected, so that allyesconfig continues to build on old toolchains. Once we've decided we do want to use mprofile-kernel, we then add a script which checks it actually works. That is because there are versions of gcc that accept the flag but don't generate correct code. Due to the way kconfig works, we can't error out when we detect a non-working toolchain. If we did a user would never be able to modify their config and run oldconfig - because the check would block oldconfig from running. Instead we emit a warning and add a bogus flag to CFLAGS so that the build will fail. Signed-off-by: Torsten Duwe <duwe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Now days no one is building a distro in that fashion, and any users who are building custom kernels for their Cell machines are better off building with CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and therefore can be optimised even more aggresively.

2015-09-04kbuild: Fix clang detectionMichal Marek
We cannot detect clang before including the arch Makefile, because that can set the default cross compiler. We also cannot detect clang after including the arch Makefile, because powerpc wants to know about clang. Solve this by using an deferred variable. This costs us a few shell invocations, but this is only a constant number.

2015-08-07powerpc/85xx: Use kconfig fragmentsScott Wood
Unify mpc85xx and corenet configs using fragments, to ease maintenance and avoid the sort of drift that the previous patch fixed. Hardware and software options are separated, with the hope that other embedded platforms could share the software options, and to make it easier to maintain custom/alternate configs that focus on either hardware or software options. Due to the previous patch, this patch should not affect the results of any of the affected defconfigs -- only how those results are achieved. The resulting config is more or less the union of the options that any of the configs previously selected. No attempt was made in this (or the previous) patch to edit out questionable options, but this patch will make it easier to do so in future patches.

2015-06-11powerpc: Don't use gcc specific options on clangAnton Blanchard
We have code to choose between several options, eg. -mabi=elfv2 vs -mcall-aixdesc, and -mcmodel=medium vs -mminimal-toc. But these are all GCC specific, so use cc-option on all of them. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2015-06-11powerpc: Don't use -mno-strict-align on clangAnton Blanchard
We added -mno-strict-align in commit f036b3681962 (powerpc: Work around little endian gcc bug) to fix gcc bug http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57134 Clang doesn't understand it. We need to use a conditional because we can't use the simpler call cc-option here. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
