22d5501e03 arch: tidy up binary formats config
Instead of (black)listing architectures when deciding the binary format,
we can enable the ELF format only when using an MMU and FLAT only when
we're not. This mimics the logic in the Linux kernel for user binaries
support.

For FDPIC, we introduce a Kconfig option to enable its selection, and
have blackfin select it.

29563047e0 arch: tidy up mmu config
Instead of blacklisting which architectures support MMUs (mandatorily
or optionally), introduce two Kconfig options that are selected by each
architecture in each case.

This simplifies the logic in BR2_USE_MMU.

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.

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.

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.

85d0769ac5 arch/arm: add support for Thumb2
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.

9b3e72b4fd arch: Refactor BR2_SOFT_FLOAT into per-architecture 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.

44c04a2b4a 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.
