kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head

2022-10-02T09:04:05+00:00

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

MIPS: Makefile: Replace -pg with CC_FLAGS_FTRACE

2021-04-21T11:44:35+00:00

This patch replaces the "open-coded" -pg compile flag with a CC_FLAGS_FTRACE
makefile variable which architectures can override if a different option
should be used for code generation.

MIPS: kernel: Support extracting off-line stack traces from user-space with perf

mips compat: switch to compat_binfmt_elf.c

2021-01-06T13:42:49+00:00

Like amd64, mips has two 32bit ABIs - o32 and n32.  Unlike amd64,
it does not use compat_binfmt_elf.c for either of those; each
of those ABIs has a binfmt handler of its own, both very similar
to fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c.  And the same technics as we use on
amd64 can be used to make fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c handle both.
	* merge elfo32_check_arch() with elfn32_check_arch(),
make that serve as compat_elf_check_arch().  Note that
SET_PERSONALITY2() is already the same for all ABI variants -
it looks at the elf header to choose the flags to set.
	* add asm/elfcore-compat.h, using the bigger (n32) variant
of elf32_prstatus as compat_elf_prstatus there.
	* make PRSTATUS_SIZE() and SET_PR_FPVALID() choose the
right layout, same as done for amd64.  test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT_REGS)
is used as the predicate.

Voila - we are rid of binfmt_elf{n,o}32.c; fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c is
used, same as for all other ELF-supporting 64bit architectures that
need 32bit compat.

MIPS: cpu-probe: introduce exclusive R3k CPU probe

2020-10-12T10:05:16+00:00

Running a kernel on a R3k of machine definitly will never see one of
the newer CPU cores. And since R3k system usually are low on memory
we could save quite some kbytes:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  15070	     88	     32	  15190	   3b56	arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.o

MIPS: cpu-probe: move fpu probing/handling into its own file

2020-10-12T10:04:50+00:00

cpu-probe.c has grown when supporting more and more CPUs and there
are use cases where probing for all the CPUs isn't useful like
running on a R3k system. But still the fpu handling is nearly
the same. For sharing put the fpu code into it's own file.
