Just like for other ISA extension instruction uses we should check whether the assembler actually supports them.

2014-02-04x86: Disable generation of traditional x87 instructionsBorislav Petkov
We recently had the case where wrongly used floating-constant 'E' caused the generation of traditional x87 instructions in kernel code and wreaking all kinds of havoc. Disable the generation of those too. This will save people a lot of time when trying to debug such issues by erroring out of the build instead of let them manifest themselves in very spectacular and happy-crappy ways at runtime. We're using -mno-fp-ret-in-387 in addition to -mno-80387 (which is == -msoft-float) because, as the gcc manpage says: On machines where a function returns floating-point results in the 80387 register stack, some floating-point opcodes may be emitted even if -msoft-float is used. so we want to turn off *all* non-integer instructions involving any architectural FPU state, unless it is absolutely necessary (and those cases need special handling anyway).

2013-12-09x86, build: Pass in additional -mno-mmx, -mno-sse optionsH. Peter Anvin
In checkin 5551a34e5aea x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse we unconditionally added -mno-sse to the main build, to keep newer compilers from generating SSE instructions from autovectorization. However, this did not extend to the special environments (arch/x86/boot, arch/x86/boot/compressed, and arch/x86/realmode/rm). Add -mno-sse to the compiler command line for these environments, and add -mno-mmx to all the environments as well, as we don't want a compiler to generate MMX code either. This patch also removes a $(cc-option) call for -m32, since we have long since stopped supporting compilers too old for the -m32 option, and in fact hardcode it in other places in the Makefiles.

2012-12-20x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BITDavid Woodhouse
It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy to trash an entire build tree that way. This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from 'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64), which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we started so long ago. This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands such as: make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig make ARCH=i386 randconfig ... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation is not desirable. In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values. We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using $KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding CONFIG_64BIT. We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing that though.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

2012-06-23x86-64, gcc: Use -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 if supportedH.J. Lu
On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes. However, this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack *mis*aligned! gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions. Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant, but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is passed on the same command line.

2012-05-18x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs toolH. Peter Anvin
A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

2012-02-27x32: Warn and disable rather than error if binutils too oldH. Peter Anvin
If X32 is enabled in .config, but the binutils can't build it, issue a warning and disable the feature rather than erroring out. In order to support this, have CONFIG_X86_X32 be the option set in Kconfig, and CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI be the option set by the Makefile when it is enabled and binutils has been found to be functional.

2011-11-17x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tablesH. Peter Anvin
Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls, is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c. This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place, and allows for kernel space and user space to see different information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in the near future. This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64 and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with the same mechanism. Cc: H. J.

2010-09-13x86, build: Disable -fPIE when compiling with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=ybasile@opensource.dyc.edu
The arch/x86/Makefile uses scripts/gcc-x86_$(BITS)-has-stack-protector.sh to check if cc1 supports -fstack-protector. When -fPIE is passed to cc1, these scripts fail causing stack protection to be disabled even when it is available.

2009-09-20kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel scriptSam Ravnborg
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.
