[ Upstream commit 0cfccb3c04934cdef42ae26042139f16e805b5f7 ]

The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony
targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create
files there.

If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot
image will not be created.

You can confirm it by the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all   # vmlinux will be built
  $ touch uImage.gz
  $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created

Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

[ Upstream commit f2712ec76a5433e5ec9def2bd52a95df1f96d050 ]

arch/arc/boot/Makefile supports uImage.lzma, but you cannot do
'make uImage.lzma' because the corresponding target is missing
in arch/arc/Makefile. Add it.

I also changed the assignment operator '+=' to ':=' since this is the
only place where we expect this variable to be set.

<title>ARC: build: remove non-existing bootpImage from KBUILD_IMAGE</title>

[ Upstream commit 9836720911cfec25d3fbdead1c438bf87e0f2841 ]

The deb-pkg builds for ARCH=arc fail.

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arc bindeb-pkg
  SORTTAB vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  MODPOST Module.symvers
  make KERNELRELEASE=5.10.0-rc4 ARCH=arc KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=2 -f ./Makefile intdeb-pkg
  sh ./scripts/package/builddeb
  cp: cannot stat 'arch/arc/boot/bootpImage': No such file or directory
  make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:87: intdeb-pkg] Error 1
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:1527: intdeb-pkg] Error 2
  make[2]: *** [debian/rules:13: binary-arch] Error 2
  dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:83: bindeb-pkg] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:1527: bindeb-pkg] Error 2

The reason is obvious; arch/arc/Makefile sets $(boot)/bootpImage as
the default image, but there is no rule to build it.

Remove the meaningless KBUILD_IMAGE assignment so it will fallback
to the default vmlinux. With this change, you can build the deb package.

I removed the 'bootpImage' target as well. At best, it provides
'make bootpImage' as an alias of 'make vmlinux', but I do not see
much sense in doing so.

<title>ARC: change defconfig defaults to ARCv2</title>

commit b7cc40c32a8bfa6f2581a71747f6a7d491fe43ba upstream.

Change the default defconfig (used with 'make defconfig') to the ARCv2
nsim_hs_defconfig, and also switch the default Kconfig ISA selection to
ARCv2.

This allows several default defconfigs (e.g. make defconfig, make
allnoconfig, make tinyconfig) to all work with ARCv2 by default.

Note since we change default architecture from ARCompact to ARCv2
it's required to explicitly mention architecture type in ARCompact
defconfigs otherwise ARCv2 will be implied and binaries will be
generated for ARCv2.

<title>ARC: build: Don't set CROSS_COMPILE in arch's Makefile</title>

There's not much sense in doing that because if user or
his build-system didn't set CROSS_COMPILE we still may
very well make incorrect guess.

But as it turned out setting CROSS_COMPILE is not as harmless
as one may think: with recent changes that implemented automatic
discovery of __host__ gcc features unconditional setup of
CROSS_COMPILE leads to failures on execution of "make xxx_defconfig"
with absent cross-compiler, for more info see [1].

Set CROSS_COMPILE as well gets in the way if we want only to build
.dtb's (again with absent cross-compiler which is not really needed
for building .dtb's), see [2].

Note, we had to change LIBGCC assignment type from ":=" to "="
so that is is resolved on its usage, otherwise if it is resolved
at declaration time with missing CROSS_COMPILE we're getting this
error message from host GCC:

| gcc: error: unrecognized command line option -mmedium-calls
| gcc: error: unrecognized command line option -mno-sdata

<title>ARC: build: Get rid of toolchain check</title>

This check is very naive: we simply test if GCC invoked without
"-mcpu=XXX" has ARC700 define set. In that case we think that GCC
was built with "--with-cpu=arc700" and has libgcc built for ARC700.

Otherwise if ARC700 is not defined we think that everythng was built
for ARCv2.

But in reality our life is much more interesting.

1. Regardless of GCC configuration (i.e. what we pass in "--with-cpu"
   it may generate code for any ARC core).

2. libgcc might be built with explicitly specified "--mcpu=YYY"

That's exactly what happens in case of multilibbed toolchains:
 - GCC is configured with default settings
 - All the libs built for many different CPU flavors

I.e. that check gets in the way of usage of multilibbed
toolchains. And even non-multilibbed toolchains are affected.
OpenEmbedded also builds GCC without "--with-cpu" because
each and every target component later is compiled with explicitly
set "-mcpu=ZZZ".

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.

<title>ARC: Explicitly add -mmedium-calls to CFLAGS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74c11e300c103af47db5b658fdcf28002421e250</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC built for arc*-*-linux has "-mmedium-calls" implicitly enabled by default
thus we don't see any problems during Linux kernel compilation.
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
arc-linux-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
  -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
  -mmedium-calls                        [enabled]
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

But if we try to use so-called Elf32 toolchain with GCC configured for
arc*-*-elf* then we'd see the following failure:
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
init/do_mounts.o: In function 'init_rootfs':
do_mounts.c:(.init.text+0x108): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARC_S21W_PCREL
against symbol 'unregister_filesystem' defined in .text section in fs/filesystems.o

arc-elf32-ld: final link failed: Symbol needs debug section which does not exist
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

That happens because neither "-mmedium-calls" nor "-mlong-calls" are enabled in
Elf32 GCC:
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
arc-elf32-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
  -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
  -mmedium-calls                        [disabled]
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

Now to make it possible to use Elf32 toolchain for building Linux kernel
we're explicitly add "-mmedium-calls" to CFLAGS.

And since we add "-mmedium-calls" to the global CFLAGS there's no point in
having per-file copies thus removing them.
