arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf
This commit introduces the support for the EABIhf ABI, next to the
existing support we have for EABI and OABI (even though OABI support
is deprecated). EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point
workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point
arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers
to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI.
In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the
floating point support:
* Software floating point
* VFP
* VFPv3
* VFPv3-D16
* VFPv4
* VFPv4-D16
and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible
when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is
however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are
mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig
logic tries to achieve the following goals:
* Hide options that are definitely not possible.
* Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of
the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating
point on these cores)..
* Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not
necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5
and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular
variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software
floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).
It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all
possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2,
fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for
vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16,
vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the
new organization of the Config.in options.

Split target/Config.in.arch into multiple Config.in.* in arch/
target/Config.in.arch had become too long, and we want to remove the
target/ directory. So let's move it to arch/ and split it this way:
* An initial Config.in that lists the top-level architecture, and
sources the arch-specific Config.in.<arch> files, as well as
Config.in.common (see below)
* One Config.in.<arch> per architecture, listing the CPU families,
ABI choices, etc.
* One Config.in.common that defines the gcc mtune, march, mcpu values
and other hidden options.

arch/arm: do not distinguish revisions of ARM1136JF-S
In commit 88cf3bb91792c9c04586e14f293d89a6e0c13e1d
("arch/Config.in.arm: Use armv6k for arm1136jf-s rev1"), Benoît
Thébaudeau added separate options for the revision 0 and revision 1 of
the ARM1136JF-S processor, so that different -march values could be
used (armv6j for revision 0, armv6k for revision 1).
However, this is preventing the removal of the BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH
option, which we need to do to give only the CPU type to gcc, and let
it decide the architecture variant that matches. This is because this
story of revision 0 vs. revision 1 is the only case where -mcpu
doesn't fully define the CPU.
Moreover, a quick test with gcc shows that -march=armv6j
-mcpu=arm1136jf-s is accepted, while -march=armv6k -mcpu=arm1136jf-s
makes gcc complain: " warning: switch -mcpu=arm1136jf-s conflicts with
-march=armv6k switch".
In addition, gcc 5 will apparently no longer allow to pass all of
--with-arch, --with-cpu and --with-tune, so we will anyway have to
rely only on one of them.
As a consequence, this commit basically reverts
88cf3bb91792c9c04586e14f293d89a6e0c13e1d and provides only one option
for ARM1136JF-S. If the two revisions are really different, then they
should be supported in upstream gcc with different -mcpu values.
Note that the removal of the two options should not break existing
full .config, since the hidden option BR2_arm1136jf_s becomes again a
visible option to select the CPU.

and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible
when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is
however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are
mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig
logic tries to achieve the following goals:
* Hide options that are definitely not possible.
* Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of
the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating
point on these cores)..
* Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not
necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5
and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular
variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software
floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).
It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all
possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2,
fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for
vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16,
vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the
new organization of the Config.in options.

* Hide options that are definitely not possible.
* Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of
the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating
point on these cores)..
* Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not
necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5
and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular
variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software
floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).
It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all
possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2,
fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for
vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16,

Config.in.common (see below)
* One Config.in.<arch> per architecture, listing the CPU families,

arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf
This commit introduces the support for the EABIhf ABI, next to the
existing support we have for EABI and OABI (even though OABI support
is deprecated). EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point
workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point
arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers
to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI.
In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the
floating point support:
* Software floating point
* VFP
* VFPv3
* VFPv3-D16
* VFPv4
* VFPv4-D16
and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible
when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is
however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are
mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig
logic tries to achieve the following goals:
* Hide options that are definitely not possible.
* Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of
the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating
point on these cores)..
* Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not
necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5
and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular
variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software
floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).
It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all
possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2,
fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for
vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16,
vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the

However, passing the floating point arguments in integer

The EABIhf is an extension of EABI which supports the 'hard'
|
|
|
|
|
floating point model. This model uses the floating point
|
|
|
|
|
unit to execute floating point instructions, and passes
|
|
|
|
|
floating point arguments in floating point registers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is more efficient than EABI for floating point related
|
|
|
|
|
workload. However, it does not allow to link against code
|
|

that has been pre-built for the 'soft' or 'softfp' floating

likely the best choice.

arch: improve definition of gcc mtune, mcpu, etc.
As suggested by Yann E. Morin, there is a better way than our current
big Config.in.common to define the gcc mtune, mcpu, march,
etc. values. We can split the setting of those values in each
architecture file, which makes a lot more sense.
Therefore, the Config.in file now creates empty kconfig variables
BR2_ARCH, BR2_ENDIAN, BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE, BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH,
BR2_GCC_TARGET_ABI and BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU. The values of those
variables are set by the individual Config.in.<arch> files. This is
possible because such files are now only conditionally included
depending on the top-level architecture that has been selected.

arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf
This commit introduces the support for the EABIhf ABI, next to the
existing support we have for EABI and OABI (even though OABI support
is deprecated). EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point
workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point
arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers
to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI.
In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the
floating point support:
* Software floating point
* VFP
* VFPv3
* VFPv3-D16
* VFPv4
* VFPv4-D16
and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible
when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is
however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are
mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig
logic tries to achieve the following goals:
* Hide options that are definitely not possible.
* Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of
the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating
point on these cores)..
* Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not
necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5
and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular
variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software
floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).
It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all
possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2,
fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for
vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16,
vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the
new organization of the Config.in options.
