* arch/x86: add support for Intel X1000Ray Kinsella2015-10-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | The Intel X1000 is the Pentium class microprocessor that ships with Galileo Gen 1/2. This patch adds changes to arch and toolchain-wrapper to omit the lock prefix for the X1000.

* toolchain-external: bypass buildroot wrapperArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The buildroot internal toolchain now adds a wrapper. When we use a buildroot toolchain as an external toolchain, we want to bypass this wrapper and call the compiler directly, for two reasons: 1. The options added by the wrapper are not necessarily appropriate when it is reused as an external toolchain. For instance, ccache may have been enabled while building the toolchain but not when using it as an external toolchain. 2. Currently, the wrapper expects to reside in .../usr/bin, but when used as an external toolchain it will be in .../ext-toolchain/bin. Therefore, the wrapper can't find the real binary and sysroot anymore. To bypass the wrapper, we check for the existence of *.br_real files in the external toolchain directory. If any such file exists, the wrapper will add the .br_real suffix for all the wrapped files. Note that the wrapper doesn't check if the *.br_real exists for each individual wrapped file, it just assumes that all wrapped files have a corresponding .br_real. This is currently true but that may change in the future of course. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <arnout@mind.be> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>

* ccache: support changing the output directoryArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-041-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building in a different output directory than the original build, there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths, so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output). Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option. In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's quite harmless.

* ccache: use mtime for external toolchain, CONF_OPTS for internal toolchainArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-041-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our current ccache disables hashing of the compiler executable itself, because using the default 'mtime' doesn't work in buildroot: we always rebuild the compiler, so the mtime is always different, so the cache always misses. However, in the current situation, if a user changes the compiler configuration (which would result in the compiler generating different object files than before) and does 'make clean all', ccache may in fact reuse object files from the previous run. This rarely gives problems, because (1) the cache expires quite quickly (it's only 1GB by default), (2) radically changing compiler options will cause cache misses because different header files are used, (3) many compiler changes (e.g. changing -mtune) have little practical effect because the resulting code is usually still compatible, (4) we currently don't use CCACHE_BASEDIR, and almost all object files will contain an absolute path (e.g. in debug info), so when building in a different directory, most of it will miss, (5) we do mostly build test, and many of the potential problems only appear at runtime. Still, when ccache _does_ use the wrong cached object files, the effects are really weird and hard to debug. Also, we want reproducible builds and obviously the above makes builds non-reproducible. So we have a FAQ entry that warns against using ccache and tells the user to clear the cache in case of problems. Now that ccache is called from the toolchain wrapper, it is in fact possible to at least use the 'mtime' compiler hash for the external toolchain and for the host-gcc. Indeed, in this case, the compiler executable comes from a tarball so the mtime will be a good reference for its state. Therefore, the patch (sed script) that changes the default from 'mtime' to 'none' is removed. For the internal toolchain, we can do better by providing a hash of the relevant toolchain options. We are only interested in things that affect the compiler itself, because ccache also processes the header files and it doesn't look at libraries because it doesn't cache the link step, just compilation. Everything that affects the compiler itself can nicely be summarised in $(HOST_GCC_FINAL_CONF_OPTS). Of course, also the compiler source itself is relevant, so the source tarball and all the patches are included in the hash. For this purpose, a new HOST_GCC_XTENSA_OVERLAY_TAR is introduced. The following procedure tests the ccache behaviour: Use this defconfig: BR2_arm=y BR2_CCACHE=y make readelf -A output/build/uclibc-1.0.6/libc/signal/signal.os -> Tag_CPU_name: "ARM926EJ-S" Now make menuconfig, change variant into BR2_cortex_a9 make clean; make readelf -A output/build/uclibc-1.0.6/libc/signal/signal.os -> Tag_CPU_name: "ARM926EJ-S" should be "Cortex-A9" After this commit, it is "Cortex-A9".

* toolchain-wrapper: support change of BR2_CCACHEArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-041-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By moving the ccache call to the toolchain wrapper, the following scenario no longer works: make foo-dirclean all BR2_CCACHE= That's a sometimes useful call to check if some failure is perhaps caused by ccache. We can enable this scenario again by exporting BR_NO_CCACHE when BR2_CCACHE is not set, and by handling this in the toolchain wrapper.

* infra: move ccache handling to the toolchain wrapperArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-041-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we always have a toolchain wrapper now, we can move the ccache call to the toolchain wrapper. The hostcc ccache handling obviously stays. The global addition of ccache to TARGET_CC/CXX is removed, but many individual packages and infras still add it. This means we have a chain like this: ccache -> toolchain-wrapper -> ccache -> gcc However, this is fairly harmless: for cache misses, the inner ccache just adds overhead and for cache hits, the inner ccache is never called. Later patches will remove these redundant ccache calls. As a side effect, perl now supports ccache as well.

* gcc: use toolchain wrapperArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-041-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a toolchain wrapper for external toolchain, but it is also beneficial for internal toolchains, for the following reasons: 1. It can make sure that BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION is passed to the compiler even if a package's build system doesn't honor CFLAGS. 2. It allows us to do the unsafe path check (i.e. -I/usr/include) without patching gcc. 3. It makes it simpler to implement building each package with a separate staging directory (per-package staging). 4. It makes it simpler to implement a compiler hash check for ccache. The wrapper is reused from the external toolchain. A third CROSS_PATH_ option is added to the wrapper: in this case, the real executable is in the same directory, with the extension .real. The creation of the simple symlinks is merged with the creation of the wrapper symlinks, otherwise part of the -gcc-ar handling logic would have to be repeated. The complex case-condition could be refactored with the one for the external toolchain, but then it becomes even more complex because they each have special corner cases. For example, the internal toolchain has to handle *.real to avoid creating an extra indirection after host-gcc-{final,initial}-rebuild. Instead of creating the .real files, it would also have been possible to install the internal toolchain in $(HOST_DIR)/opt, similar to what we do for the external toolchain. However, then we would also have to copy things to the sysroot and do more of the magic that the external toolchain is doing. So keeping it in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin is much simpler. Note that gcc-initial has to be wrapped as well, because it is used for building libc and we want to apply the same magic when building libc.

* toolchain-external: move wrapper to toolchain directoryArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-041-0/+258
The toolchain wrapper will be reused for the internal toolchain, so it belongs in the toolchain directory. Also, the ext- prefix is removed from it. The build commands are moved to a new toolchain-wrapper.mk. The wrapper arguments that are also relevant for the internal toolchain wrapper are moved to toolchain-wrapper.mk, the rest stays in toolchain-external.mk. While we're at it, move the building of the toolchain wrapper to the build step of toolchain-external. There is no specific reason to do this, other than that it fits better semantically. Also remove the MESSAGE call, otherwise we'd see: >>> toolchain-external undefined Building >>> toolchain-external undefined Building toolchain wrapper /usr/bin/gcc ... Having an extra "Building toolchain wrapper' message is pointless. The useless condition on $(BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION) is removed. It was always true because it wasn't qstrip'ped first, so clearly it works without that condition as well. Also rewrapped some comments and removed the 'external' reference.
