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.

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.

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.

This will be causing problems for the refactoring of the static/shared

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.

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.

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.

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 toolchain currently doesn't build for nommu ARM and is in need of
serious work.
Problem is there are no emulation targets and real ARM(7TDMI/720T/740T)
hardware that's capable of running linux (enough memory, having a
memory controller...) is VERY rare and uses very old versions to
make it usable.
The ARM nommu focus should go into Cortex M series processors that are
obtainable at reasonable cost on modern hardware that has external
memory controllers.

BR2_ENDIAN to "LITTLE" when the architecture is BR2_x86_64. Due to the

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.
