8c925613dc arch/Config.in.arm: re-organize MMU selection
So far, all ARM cores were selecting BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL, except
no-MMU cores which were selecting nothing.

In practice, MMU-capable ARM cores are always used with their MMU
enabled, so it doesn't make sense to support the use case of not using
the MMU on such cores.

Consequently, to simplify things, we group the MMU handling in the
BR2_ARM_CPU_ARM* options: BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV4, BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV5,
BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV6, BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV7A, BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV8A all select
BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY, while BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV7M continues to
select nothing, indicating that there is no MMU available at all.

Fixes:

dd8a410eaf core: introduce NORMALIZED_ARCH as non-kernel replacement for KERNEL_ARCH
The variable 'KERNEL_ARCH' is actually a normalized version of
'ARCH'/'BR2_ARCH'. For example, 'arcle' and 'arceb' both become 'arc', just
as all powerpc variants become 'powerpc'.

It is presumably called 'KERNEL_ARCH' because the Linux kernel is typically
the first place where support for a new architecture is added, and thus is
the entity that defines the normalized name.

However, the term 'KERNEL_ARCH' can also be interpreted as 'the architecture
used by the kernel', which need not be exactly the same as 'the normalized
name for a certain arch'. In particular, for cases where a 64-bit
architecture is running a 64-bit kernel but 32-bit userspace. Examples
include:
    * aarch64 architecture, with aarch64 kernel and 32-bit (ARM) userspace
    * x86_64 architecture, with x86_64 kernel and 32-bit (i386) userspace

In such cases, the 'architecture used by the kernel' needs to refer to the
64-bit name (aarch64, x86_64), whereas all userspace applications need to
refer the, potentially normalized, 32-bit name.

This means that there need to be two different variables:

KERNEL_ARCH:     the architecture used by the kernel
NORMALIZED_ARCH: the normalized name for the current userspace architecture

At this moment, both will actually have the same content. But a subsequent
patch will add basic support for situations described above, in which
KERNEL_ARCH may become overwritten to the 64-bit architecture, while
NORMALIZED_ARCH needs to remain the same (32-bit) case.

This commit replaces use of KERNEL_ARCH where actually the userspace arch is
needed.  Places that use KERNEL_ARCH in combination with building of kernel
modules are not touched.
There may be cases where a package builds both a kernel module as userspace,
in which case it may need to know about both KERNEL_ARCH and
NORMALIZED_ARCH, for the case where they differ. But this is to be fixed on
a per-need basis.

cf198e2299 arch: move definition of KERNEL_ARCH to Config.in.<arch> files
Similar to other arch-specific strings, the 'KERNEL_ARCH' variable can be

Besides aligning with similar strings, this also means simplification: the

e65a173e52 arch/arm: add two new cortex-based armv8.2a cores
The cortex-a76 implements the full amrv8.2a extensions, and some
optional extensions from the armv8.3a, armv8.4a, and armv8.5a sets,
but none of their mandatory extensions, which means that it does not
qualify for better than an armv8.2a:

c0d1730153 arch/arm: some cores have a different name with gcc-9
In gcc-9, some cores from the ThunderX familly have been renamed to
their marketting names, i.e. OcteonTX. Subsequently, new core names
have been added to gcc, with the old names still being around.

Update the prompts with the new names as alternative to the existing
names. We still keep the kconfig options as-is, so that we do not need
to add legacy handling.

However, since there is no guarantee for how long gcc will retain
compatibility for the older names, we readily switch over to using the
new names when using a gcc 9-or-later, but keep using the older names
with gcc older than 9.

56a315f18f arch/arm: add armv8.2a cortex-based cores
The armv8.2a generation is a cumulative extension to armv8.1a.

Since gcc correctly enables the appropriate extensions based on the core
name, we don't really need to introduce a separate config for armv8.2a,
and we can piggyback on armv8a.

In theory, gcc supports those cores in arm mode. However, configuring
gcc thusly generates a non-working gcc that constantly whines:
    cc1: warning: switch -mcpu=cortex-a55 conflicts with -march=armv8.2-a switch

It is to be noted that the -march flag is internal to gcc. It is not
something that Buildroot did set when configuring gcc; Buildroot only
ever sets --with-cpu (not --with-arch).

Additionally, uClibc fails to build entirely (unsure if this is caused
by the above, or if it is a separate issue, though), with:
    #### Your compiler does not support TLS and you are trying to build uClibc-ng
    #### with NPTL support. Upgrade your binutils and gcc to versions which
    #### support TLS for your architecture. Do not contact uClibc-ng maintainers
    #### about this problem.

Glibc and musl have not been tested in arm mode, so maybe we could have
a toolchain that eventually works (or at least, pretends to be working),
but we decided it was not worth the effort.

Thus, we restrict those cores to AArch64 mode only.

7f7701301e arch/arm: introduce generic FPU internal option
Currently, we consider that any VFP FPU is a superset of VFPv2, and thus
we use VFPv2 as a way to detect that a VFP is used.

However, for Cortex-M cores, the optional FPU is not a superset of
VFPv2; it is even not a VFP [0].

As a consequence, we can no longer consider VFPv2 as a indication that
an FPU is present.

So, we introduce two new internal options, BR2_ARM_CPU_MAYBE_HAS_FPU and
BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_FPU, which we use to consider the presence of an FPU.

Reorder the choice by architecture generation, starting with armv4,

Add a comment before each generation, just for ease of use. Add a
separate comment for armv7a and armv7m.

Finally, order cores alphabetically inside the same generation (except
for armv7m cores, listed after all armv7a cores).

9d06e91df8 arch/arm: fix -mcpu default values for AArch64
We have to specify the -mcpu value, even in 64-bit mode.

For AArch64, +fp and +simd are the default, so they are totally useless.

A number of packages use BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_NEON to know if the target handles
aarch32 neon instructions, which is only true for ARMv8 cores when they are

Notice: These cores do support neon-like instructions using a different
encoding in 64bit mode (it is a required part of ARMv8, similar to the FPU).

5e8cb2ee75 arch/Config.in.arm: specify ABI for ARM64
There's currently only one widely supported ABI for ARM64, called lp64,
so we define BR2_GCC_TARGET_ABI to the appropriate value.

Note that there is another ABI for ARM64 being worked on, ilp32, but its
support is not fully upstream in the kernel, so we're not adding support
for it for the moment.

d690b7444a arch/Config.in.arm: add FPU related options for ARMv8 cores
The ARMv8 cores have a mandatory FPU unit called FP-ARMv8, so we:

 - add a new hidden Config.in option for the availability of this
   unit (BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_FP_ARMV8)

 - allow the selection of a possible choice in the "Floating point
   strategy", and add two new choices: BR2_ARM_FPU_FP_ARMV8 and
   BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_FP_ARMV8.

 - specify the -mfpu values for BR2_ARM_FPU_FP_ARMV8 and
   BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_FP_ARMV8 cases, when used on ARM 32 bits (-mfpu
   doesn't exist on ARM64, instead -mcpu modifiers are used, so they
   will be added on a per-core basis).

743e663912 arch/arm: drop legacy dependency for floating point strategy
The floating point strategy currently depends on EABI || EABIHF. The
reason was that, wayback when we also supported OABI, we only exposed FP
for EABI or EABIHF, and hide it for OABI, which did not support FP.

It's been a while now that we do not support OABI, but the dependency
stuck all along.

Remove it as it is no longer needed, and is always true.

However, the choice is empty for AArch64, as we still have no entry for
their floating point strategy yet.

Until now the "Target Architecture Variant" choice was not visible on
AArch64. In order to prepare the addition of the 64 bits core to this
choice, this commit adds a "depends on !BR2_ARCH_IS_64" dependency to
all currently supported cores (that are 32 bits only).

Following this commit, the "Target Architecture Variant" choice appears
on AArch64, but is for now empty.

8b7d8b4a4e arch: merge Config.in.aarch64 into Config.in.arm
The 64 bits ARM processors are capable of running 32 bits ARM code, and
some platforms are indeed using this capability. Due to this, if we were
to keep the separation between Config.in.aarch64 and Config.in.arm, we
would have to duplicate the definition of all 64-bits capable ARM cores
into both files.

Instead of going down this route, let's take the same route as the x86
one: a single Config.in.x86 file, used for both x86 32 bits and x86 64
bits, with the appropriate logic to only show the relevant cores
depending on which architecture is selected.

In order to do this, we:

 - Make the "ARM instruction set" choice only visible on ARM 32 bits,
   since we currently don't support ARM vs. Thumb on AArch64.

 - Add the relevant values for the BR2_ARCH option.

 - Add the relevant values for the BR2_ENDIAN option.

 - Make the "aapcs-linux" BR2_GCC_TARGET_ABI value only used on ARM 32
   bits, since this ABI doesn't mean anything on AArch64.

 - Make the BR2_GCC_TARGET_FPU option depends on ARM 32 bits, since
   there is no -mfpu option on AArch64.

41bcc440b1 arch/arm: Cortex-M3 provides only Thumb-2
The Cortex-M cores only support Thumb-2, not Thumb. In fact, Thumb-2
is a superset of Thumb, and we could have a single option for both in
Buildroot, since -mthumb on ARMv4/v5 means original Thumb, while
-mthumb on ARMv7 means Thumb 2. However, for clarity, it makes sense
to have two separate options. But in this case, Cortex-M3 should not
advertise that it supports Thumb, as in fact selecting Thumb would
generate Thumb-2 code.
