1b171af3b3 arch: BINFMT_FLAT_SHARED is not really shared for buildroot purposes
Although BINFMT_FLAT_SHARED is indeed a shared library format, it does
not support dynamic library loading with dlopen(). So for buildroot
purposes, BR2_STATIC_LIBS shouldn't be selected.

As it happens, the compiler options that are added for
BINFMT_FLAT_SHARED also make the compiler ignore the -static option, so
we can simply force BR2_STATIC_LIBS and things work out perfectly.

Therefore, remove the select of BR2_BINFMT_SUPPORTS_SHARED from
BINFMT_FLAT_SHARED, which in turn makes sure that BR2_STATIC_LIBS is
selected.

a87f5806ed arm: conditionally support regular ARM instructions
Until now, all ARM processors supported the original ARM instructions.
However, the Cortex-M variants don't support them, and support only
Thumb/Thumb2 modes.

So, make a Kconfig option for ARM support and use it.

[Thomas:
  - Remove the dependency in the choice between ARM/Thumb/Thumb-2,
    because basically the choice is now always visible.
  - Replace the BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM_CHOICE choice option directly
    by BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM, instead of having this blind option
    defined separately. This means the choice is now always visible,
    even when only the ARM instruction set is supported.]

158001f57b Turn the static lib option into a choice with more options
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.

 * Changes package/Makefile.in to use the proper
   --{enable,disable}-{shared,static} options for autotools packages.

[Thomas: remove useless empty newline right after 'choice'. Noticed by
Yann E. Morin.]

c1a38829e7 arch: ensure BR2_BINFMT_ELF is really used
Currently, the binary format choice is only shown for the Blackfin and
m68k architectures, since we assume that all other architectures are
using the ELF binary format. However, due to this, the BR2_BINFMT_ELF
symbol is in fact not set to 'y' for those architectures that use the
ELF format.

This will be causing problems for the refactoring of the static/shared
library support, as we will need to know if the binary format supports
shared libraries or not.

Therefore, we simply make the choice visible on all architectures,
even if it means that on many architectures no other choice than ELF
will be available.

665e13c85e Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS
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
should really build everything with static libraries.

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.

Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

80e4060908 arch/Config.in.x86: drop BR2_x86_generic
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.

75418c4cf6 arch/powerpc: get rid of BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE
According to the gcc documentation for PowerPC options:

'-mtune=CPU_TYPE'
     Set the instruction scheduling parameters for machine type
     CPU_TYPE, but do not set the architecture type, register usage, or
     choice of mnemonics, as '-mcpu=CPU_TYPE' would.  The same values
     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
-mtune therefore doesn't make much sense, and using -mcpu would be
more appropriate. As a consequence, this patch makes PowerPC use
BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU instead of BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE.

fd828fd98f arch/arm: remove BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH definitions on ARM
On ARM, we were defining both the CPU type and the architecture
variant. However, depending on the version of gcc, a given combination
of (CPU, architecture) may not be the same. Since the architecture
variant is implied by the CPU type, given the former is not necessary,
and we can simply specify the latter.

>From the gcc documentation:

  This specifies the name of the target ARM processor. GCC uses this
  name to derive the name of the target ARM architecture (as if
  specified by -march) and the ARM processor type for which to tune
  for performance (as if specified by -mtune). Where this option is
  used in conjunction with -march or -mtune, those options take
  precedence over the appropriate part of this option.

Note that we verified that for all BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH value that
existed, a proper BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU value is defined.

24dfbe71e0 arch/arm: do not distinguish revisions of ARM1136JF-S
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.

running Linux -
http://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=arc-hs38-processor

ARC HS38 is based on ARCv2 ISA and requires special settings of gcc and
libc.

Also in case of HS38 atomic extensions (LLOCK/SCOND instructions) are
built-in by default, so enabling atomic extensions in Buildroot as well.

This commit adds support of the core in buildroot.

b8a8263858 arch/arm: always has atomic ops
armv6 and above all have one sort of atomic ops or another. For armv5
and below, they are emulated, either as a kernel trap, a kernel VDSO,
or compiler intrinsics.

Aarch64 is just armv8, so make it a single commit. ;-)

6172ceb3cf toolchain: drop the now-unused old BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ATOMIC_INTRINSICS
It's now been replaced with BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS, annd all packages have
been changed to use that instead.

1b5f0fc8df arch: add an option to specify if the arch has atomic ops
The fact that atomic operations are available is not really a
specificity of the toolchain, but rather of the architecture.

So, add a new option that architectures that have atomic operations
can select. This in turn selects the current toolchain atomic option,
until all packages have been converted, at which point the old
toolchain option can be removed.

cbffd50561 toolchain: Add config option for atomic intrinsics
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.

01efcf84fe arch: deprecate the AVR32 architecture
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.
