binutils: fix building perf on ARC

2015-10-17T14:16:53+00:00

It turned out one of the previous fixes (required to build Linux kernel) ------------------>8------------------- ARC Binutils: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/binutils-gdb/commit/a65b844aed9153789356e098984452df2f5d9058 Buildroot: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=2d4e2e238a0ea9395152ae71d882d79b1f35094c ------------------>8------------------- broke building of some other software packages. In particular perf built for ARCv2 had corrupted .plt entries that lead to immediate crash on perf execution. That's an example of normal .plt entries: ------------------>8------------------- < 1-st PLT entry >: 12c24: 30 27 8c 7f 0d 00 74 95 ld r12,[pcl,0x000d9574] 12c2c: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12] 12c30: 0a 24 c0 1f mov r12,pcl < 2-nd PLT entry >: 12c34: 30 27 8c 7f 0d 00 68 95 ld r12,[pcl,0x000d9568] 12c3c: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12] 12c40: 0a 24 c0 1f mov r12,pcl ------------------>8------------------- Note right after jump in its delay-slot r12 gets set with current value of program counter. This is required for the first symbol resolution, see implementation of _dl_linux_resolve here: http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/tree/ldso/ldso/arc/resolve.S#n46 And that's what we got in .plt after mentioned fixes: ------------------>8------------------- < 1-st PLT entry>: 13384: 30 27 8c 7f 0f 00 84 75 ld r12,[pcl,0x000f7584] 1338c: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12] < 2-nd PLT entry>: 13390: 30 27 8c 7f 0f 00 78 75 ld r12,[pcl,0x000f7578] 13398: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12] ------------------>8------------------- Note r12 setup is missing. That happened because linker thought the size of PLT entry is 12 bytes (which is exactly the size of PLT entry for ARCv1, read ARC750/770) while for ARCv2 PLT entry is 16-bytes long. And erroneously trailing 4 bytes were truncated. Current commit fixes this misbehavior and PLT gets generated properly again. Now we have a fix for that issue, see https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/binutils-gdb/commit/5df50c61083165455aae5504c5c3566fa5ccebb1 This fix is in arc-2.23-dev branch and will be a part of the next release of ARC tools, so then this patch must be removed from buildroot.

arch: add support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 variants

2015-10-12T19:33:56+00:00

- Add support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 target architecture variants - Disable unsupported gcc versions - Disable unsupported binutils versions - Disable unsupported external toolchains - Disable unsuported C libraries - Add a hook in order to make glibc compile for MIPS R6. [Thomas: slightly tweak the glibc hack explanation, to make it hopefully clearer.] Signed-off-by: Vicente Olivert Riera Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: backport auto-litpools xtensa gas option

2015-10-04T16:27:27+00:00

Auto-litpools is the automated version of text-section-literals: literal pool candidate frags are planted every N frags and during relaxation they are turned into actual literal pools where literals are moved to become reachable for their first reference by L32R instruction.

binutils: remove unnecessary host-texinfo dependency

2015-09-20T12:57:02+00:00

host-texinfo dependency was only necessary when building the git version of binutils, however, this upstream commit allows binutils to build without makeinfo (a binary provided by host-texinfo)... https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=bba33ab1e0f7d2ebd8f8435f92ed12e2a3c558a4 ...so we can safely remove the host-texinfo dependency.

binutils: fix building of Linux kernel for ARCv2 ISA

2015-08-04T18:06:41+00:00

With the fix for missing .tdata/.tbss sections we unintentionally introduced a regression for ARCv2 ISA (read ARC HS38) kernel building. That's what we got on attempt to build kernel: ----------------------------------->8-------------------------------------- LD drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o arc-linux-ld: ERROR: Attempting to link drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/built-in.o with a binary drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o of different architecture arc-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/built-in.o scripts/Makefile.build:337: recipe for target 'drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o' failed make[3]: *** [drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o] Error 1 scripts/Makefile.build:403: recipe for target 'drivers/video/fbdev' failed make[2]: *** [drivers/video/fbdev] Error 2 scripts/Makefile.build:403: recipe for target 'drivers/video' failed make[1]: *** [drivers/video] Error 2 Makefile:944: recipe for target 'drivers' failed make: *** [drivers] Error 2 ----------------------------------->8-------------------------------------- The reason was empty .tdata and .tbss sections in empty archives. And later empty archives were linked in built-in.o with default architecture (in our case ARCv1 ISA, read for ARC 700) and then expected failure happened when objets for different architectures were attempted to link together. Now we have a fix for that issue, see https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/binutils-gdb/commit/a65b844aed9153789356e098984452df2f5d9058 This fix is in arc-2.23-dev branch and will be a part of the next release of ARC tools, so then this patch must be removed from buildroot.

binutils: remove version 2.22

2015-07-13T15:33:50+00:00

We already use 2.24 as the default, 2.25 has been around for some time, and 2.22 is clearly very old, so let's get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Acked-by: Gustavo Zacarias
