Currently, the VFP selection for ARM is a little bit muddy:
- some CPUs definitely do not have a VFP or NEON,
- some CPUs definitely do have a VFP or NEON,
- some CPUs may have a VFP or NEON.
However, we currently conflate the availability of the VFP/NEON with the
possibility to use them. Even is the user chooses a floating point
strategy with a 'lower' solution (i.e. VFPv2 when a VFPv3 exists, or not
using NEON when the CPU has it), some packages are still using the
CPU-defined HW availaibility rather thean the usr's selection.
Furthermore, for CPU that may have a VFP/NEON, there is no way for the
user to actually specify that the HW is indeed available; the user can
only specify the floating point strategy. This means that some packages
or some package versions, like nodejs for example, can not be properly
selected on some CPU cores, like Cortex-A9 which only may have a VFP.
Like we have an option to enable an optional NEON unit, add a similar
option to enable an optional VFP unit.

Stating whether to use the NEON extensions when it is optional in the
CPU really is completing the definition of the CPU we've just selected.
Move the ENABLE_NEON option just after the choice of the CPU variant,
and before any "software" option (ABI/VFP).
This will make sense in a moment, when we introduce a similar option for
enabling an optional VFP unit.

This commit turns the single static option into a choice, which offers
various possibilities:
1. Build and use static libraries only;
2. Build both shared and static libraries, but use shared libraries;
3. Build and use shared libraries only.
On most platforms, (2) is currently the default, and kept as the
default in this commit. Of course, on certain platforms (Blackfin,
m68k), only option (1) will be available.
In addition to the introduction of the Config.in options, this commit
also:
* Removes the 'select BR2_STATIC_LIBS' from 'BR2_BINFMT_FLAT', since
with the use of a choice, we are guaranteed that BR2_STATIC_LIBS
will be selected when the binary format is BR2_BINFMT_FLAT, since
BR2_STATIC_LIBS will be the only possible solution in the choice.

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB

As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.

The fuzzy generic x86 variant doesn't make much sense in the context of
Buildroot, and the recent change to use -march instead of -mtune broke it.
From the GCC manual:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.2/gcc/i386-and-x86-64-Options.html#i386-and-x86-64-Options:
-mtune=cpu-type
Tune to cpu-type everything applicable about the generated code,
except for the ABI and the set of available instructions. While
picking a specific cpu-type schedules things appropriately for that
particular chip, the compiler does not generate any code that cannot
run on the default machine type unless you use a -march=cpu-type
option. For example, if GCC is configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu then
-mtune=pentium4 generates code that is tuned for Pentium 4 but still
runs on i686 machines.
The choices for cpu-type are the same as for -march. In addition,
-mtune supports 2 extra choices for cpu-type:
‘generic’
Produce code optimized for the most common IA32/AMD64/EM64T
processors. If you know the CPU on which your code will run,
then you should use the corresponding -mtune or -march option
instead of -mtune=generic. But, if you do not know exactly what
CPU users of your application will have, then you should use
this option.
As new processors are deployed in the marketplace, the behavior
of this option will change. Therefore, if you upgrade to a newer
version of GCC, code generation controlled by this option will
change to reflect the processors that are most common at the
time that version of GCC is released.
There is no -march=generic option because -march indicates the
instruction set the compiler can use, and there is no generic
instruction set applicable to all processors. In contrast,
-mtune indicates the processor (or, in this case, collection of
processors) for which the code is optimized.

Set the instruction scheduling parameters for machine type
CPU_TYPE, but do not set the architecture type, register usage, or

for CPU_TYPE are used for '-mtune' as for '-mcpu'. If both are
specified, the code generated will use the architecture, registers,
and mnemonics set by '-mcpu', but the scheduling parameters set by
'-mtune'.
In the case of Buildroot where we only target a specific system, using

In commit 88cf3bb917
("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
88cf3bb917 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.

The fact that atomic operations are available is not really a

So, add a new option that architectures that have atomic operations

toolchain option can be removed.

GCC has several builtin functions that implement atomic operations. Those
functions are architecture specific and may not be implemented by the
specific toolchain. In case of GCC for ARC those functions rely on
LLOCK/SCOND instructions which are optional in ARC CPU's. If ARC CPU doesn't
support those instructions but software tries to use them, then application
will be aborted with Illegal instruction exception. To avoid confusion user
should first specify that their CPU supports atomic extension, which will
allow selection of packages that use builtin atomic functions.

The AVR32 architecture from Atmel is obsolete since a long time, not
supported upstream in most of the toolchain components (requires a
special version of gcc, an old version of uClibc, etc.). Until
February, Simon Dawson was making an excellent job at maintaining
AVR32 in Buildroot, and fixing all the issues caused by this
architecture. However, Simon focus has changed, and despite his call
for a new maintainer for AVR32 in Buildroot, nobody stepped up.
The issue of maintaining AVR32 is becoming worse and worse, so this
patch proposes to deprecate it for 2014.08, but keeping the support
around, to remove it for sure in 2014.11.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

Currently, the ARM Config.in logic specifies values for
--with-arch/-march and --with-tune/-mtune, but not for
--with-cpu/-mcpu. However, this causes problems on ARMv4, because
specifying --with-arch=armv4t isn't enough to make gcc generate ARMv4
code: one should also pass --with-cpu=<some ARMv4 CPU>.
Moreover, since Buildroot is generally designed to generate code
specifically for the configured target, it makes sense to give our own
--with-cpu/-mcpu value instead of relying on the default value used by
gcc, and only do small optimizations with -mtune.

Until now, we were using the default ARM instruction set, as used by
the toolchain: the 32 bits ARM instruction set for the internal
backend, and for external toolchain, whatever default was chosen when
the toolchain was generated.
This commit adds support for the Thumb2 instruction set. To do so, it:
* provides a menuconfig choice between ARM and Thumb2. The choice is
only shown when Thumb2 is supported, i.e on ARMv7-A CPUs.
* passes the --with-mode={arm,thumb} option when building gcc in the
internal backend. This tells the compiler which type of
instructions it should generate.
* passes the m{arm,thumb} option in the external toolchain
wrapper. ARM and Thumb2 code can freely be mixed together, so the
fact that the C library has been built either ARM or Thumb2 and
that the rest of the code is built Thumb2 or ARM is not a problem.

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.

As we are going to introduced a more advanced support of floating
point options for the ARM architecture, we need to adjust how the
soft-float option is handled. We replace the current hidden option
BR2_PREFER_SOFT_FLOAT option and the visible BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option by:
* A global hidden BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option, defined in arch/Config.in,
that tells whether the architecture-specific code is using software
emulated floating point. This hidden option can be used throughout
Buildroot to determine whether soft float is used or not.
* Per-architecture visible BR2_<arch>_SOFT_FLOAT options, for the
architecture for which it makes sense, which allows users to select
soft float emulation when needed.
This change will allow each architecture to have a different way of
presenting its floating point capabilities.

Change the overlay file to have a subdirectory for each component
(gdb, binutils, gcc, etc.) to make it more future-prove.

Xtensa is a configurable processor architecture, which allows to define
additional instructions and registers. The required variant specific
information for the toolchain is delivered in an 'overlay' file, which
needs to be 'untarred' to the corresponding directories after the
source is installed and patched.
This patch provides support for binutils, gcc, and gdb with a very
limited changes to the build scripts. These additions are only executed
for the Xtensa architecture and have no effect on other architectures.

Variant'].

The Xtensa architecture had been removed because it required special
handling and depended on additional directories and files that became
obsolete over time. This change is more aligned to other architectures.

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.

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.
