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The AVR32 architecture from Atmel is obsolete since a long time, not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.

befab216a2 arch/arm: drop ARM(7TDMI/720T/740T) support
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.

dd712eb31c arch: remove incorrect condition for endian definition on SuperH

BR2_ENDIAN to "LITTLE" when the architecture is BR2_x86_64. Due to the
fact that Config.in.sh is never included when we are building for
x86_64, this is a no-op, but is certainly good to clean up.

ba4ad9d27c deprecated handling: introduce BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx
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.

d3539dd53b arch: pass cpu option instead of tune option on ARM
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.

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.

5f959a1c61 arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf
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.

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.

d774551787 arch: introduce BR2_GCC_TARGET_{FPU, FLOAT_ABI}

kconfig strings that allow per-architecture Config.in files to feed
the appropriate values of --with-{tune,arch,abi-cpu} when building
gcc, or the appropriate flags for the external toolchain wrapper.

This commit has two additional options:
BR2_GCC_TARGET_{FPU,FLOAT_ABI}, that allows to define the
--with-{fpu,float} gcc configure options for the internal backend, or
the -m{fpu,float-abi} options for the flags of the external toolchain
wrapper.

Xtensa is a configurable processor architecture, which allows to define
additional instructions and registers. The required variant specific

needs to be 'untarred' to the corresponding directories after the

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.

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.
