binutils got disabled as a target package for aarch64 back in Buildroot
2012.11 (commit 660d16f4).
The default version 2.21.1 at the time didn't really support aarch64, as
shown by the autobuilder error reference in that commit.
binutils has now had support for aarch64 since 2.23, but was never
re-enabled for aarch64.
All of the binutils versions currently supported by Buildroot (oldest
being 2.24) support aarch64, so we can now enable it without any
restrictions.
This same patch also touches the dropwatch, lightning and oprofile
packages which all select binutils and had the 'depends on !aarch64' to
keep Kconfig consistent. They are now re-enabled for aarch64 as well.
They are changed in this same patch so that Kconfig is kept consistent
and doesn't end up having them disabled in a commit which only has the
binutils change applied.
lightning has other explicit arch dependencies so it is not actually yet
available in aarch64, but at least the dependency on !aarch64 because of
binutils is not needed anymore.
Everything has been build tested with Buildroot and external toolchains.
binutils and dropwatch work fine in a qemu target. oprofile doesn't seem
to be supported in the qemu aarch64 processor but builds fine and seems
to have some level of aarch64 support in the source, so there doesn't
seem to be a reason to keep it disabled in Kconfig.

Build failed when "makeinfo" was missing on the build host.
This was happening because "makeinfo" is required to build .info targets
and make exited with error. The issue hadn't appeared before as there was
prebuilt documentation in ARC binutils tarballs, so no attempts had been
made to build docs.
Missing "makeinfo" only stops us from building docs
("missing" script already throws a warning on that regard).
Let's continue to build other targets.
Now exit code of the script called "missing" is checked.
The value 127 means that "makeinfo" is not available on the build host.
So when such value occurs, 0 is returned to the top level makefile.
Documentation is not being built but further build of binutils continues.

It turned out one of the previous fixes (required to build Linux
kernel)
------------------>8-------------------
ARC Binutils: a65b844aed
Buildroot: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=2d4e2e238a0ea9395152ae71d882d79b1f35094c
------------------>8-------------------
broke building of some other software packages.
In particular perf built for ARCv2 had corrupted .plt entries that lead
to immediate crash on perf execution.
That's an example of normal .plt entries:
------------------>8-------------------
< 1-st PLT entry >:
12c24: 30 27 8c 7f 0d 00 74 95 ld r12,[pcl,0x000d9574]
12c2c: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12]
12c30: 0a 24 c0 1f mov r12,pcl
< 2-nd PLT entry >:
12c34: 30 27 8c 7f 0d 00 68 95 ld r12,[pcl,0x000d9568]
12c3c: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12]
12c40: 0a 24 c0 1f mov r12,pcl
------------------>8-------------------
Note right after jump in its delay-slot r12 gets set with current value
of program counter. This is required for the first symbol resolution,
see implementation of _dl_linux_resolve here:
http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/tree/ldso/ldso/arc/resolve.S#n46
And that's what we got in .plt after mentioned fixes:
------------------>8-------------------
< 1-st PLT entry>:
13384: 30 27 8c 7f 0f 00 84 75 ld r12,[pcl,0x000f7584]
1338c: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12]
< 2-nd PLT entry>:
13390: 30 27 8c 7f 0f 00 78 75 ld r12,[pcl,0x000f7578]
13398: 21 20 00 03 j.d [r12]
------------------>8-------------------
Note r12 setup is missing.
That happened because linker thought the size of PLT entry is 12 bytes
(which is exactly the size of PLT entry for ARCv1, read ARC750/770)
while for ARCv2 PLT entry is 16-bytes long. And erroneously trailing 4
bytes were truncated.
Current commit fixes this misbehavior and PLT gets generated properly
again.
Now we have a fix for that issue, see
5df50c6108
This fix is in arc-2.23-dev branch and will be a part of the next
release of ARC tools, so then this patch must be removed from buildroot.

With the fix for missing .tdata/.tbss sections we unintentionally
introduced a regression for ARCv2 ISA (read ARC HS38) kernel building.
That's what we got on attempt to build kernel:
----------------------------------->8--------------------------------------
LD drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o
arc-linux-ld: ERROR: Attempting to link drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/built-in.o with a binary drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o of different architecture

make[1]: *** [drivers/video] Error 2
Makefile:944: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
----------------------------------->8--------------------------------------
The reason was empty .tdata and .tbss sections in empty archives. And
later empty archives were linked in built-in.o with default architecture
(in our case ARCv1 ISA, read for ARC 700) and then expected failure
happened when objets for different architectures were attempted to link
together.
Now we have a fix for that issue, see

In buildroot we maintain a couple off-the-tree patches.
In particular for binutils and gcc packages.
Because we have many versions of mentioned packages patches for each
particular version reside in a folder which name matches full version
name of the package.
For example we used to have patches for binutils distributed as part of
arc-2014.12 tools in folder ""package/binutils/arc-2014.12". Now with
bump of ARC tools version we need to rename folder with patches to
"arc-2015.06-rc1".
The same applies to gcc.
Should fix http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/2b2/2b27a4a64c0b225ae479ecfccf7a97f5ea95598c/

Fedora 21/22 distros (at least we know about them) but I may confirm that
patches were applied fine and everything was built well. Hopefully reported
build failure goes away now.

Following commit 36555b4c8d ("ARC:
switch to RC1 of upcoming arc-2015.06 tools"), the binutils package
only contains the hash information for the 2015.06-rc1 ARC version of
binutils (which is in fact no hash). However, when an external
toolchain is used, and binutils is built for the target, it's still
the old 2014.11 binutils version that gets used in binutils.mk,
causing a build failure because there is no hash available for this
version.
This commit fixes that by using 2015.06-rc1 as the default binutils
version on ARC, which is used when no host-binutils has been built.

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should
not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12.
Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL
for ARC in uClibc.
That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it
(for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built
and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through
autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid
toolchain for release.
If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with
subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be
updated with it.

xtensa trampolines relaxation optimization caused the following build
errors:
Error: operand 1 of 'j' has out of range value '131643'
Error: operand 1 of 'j' has out of range value '4294836162'
Error: operand 1 of 'j' has out of range value '4294836072'
Extra condition 'abs (addr - trampaddr) < J_RANGE / 2' for trampoline
selection results in regressions: when relaxable jump is little longer
than J_RANGE so that single trampoline makes two new jumps, one longer
than J_RANGE / 2 and one shorter, correct trampoline cannot be found.
Drop that condition.
Upstream status: patch submitted.
Fix squashed into the optimization patch.

This series optimizes most time-consuming algorithms and data structures
in the xtensa link-time relaxation code, leaving relaxation logic intact.
Speedup linking typical linux kernel is ~8 times (1 minute instead of 8),
pathological cases (linking objects partially linked without relaxation)
are handled ~60 times faster (1 minute instead of an hour).

When an external toolchain is used on ARC, BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION is
undefined, so we use binutils 2.22, which doesn't support ARC and
anyway isn't available from the ARC download location.
So, let's defined a default ARC binutils version in binutils.mk.

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with
LTO support.
Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to
GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag
globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag
if it does.
To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the
usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead
provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way
existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these
wrappers are called <tuple>-gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the
buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain
logic is updated to provide the correct symlink.
[Thomas:
- Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO
support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke
directly into gcc Config.in options.
- Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't
support anymore.
- Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer
mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in
Buildroot anyway.
- Fix typo in toolchain-external.mk comment.]

Now when new shiny tools are released by Synopsys we're ready for
version update in Buildroot again.
More details about arc-2014.12 release are available here:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2014.12
Following patches were removed from GCC since they are a part of release
now:
* 200-size_type_unsigned_int.patch
* 300-ptrdiff_type_int.patch
* 400-call-arc_hazard-before-branch-shortening.patch
* 401-fix-length-attribute-for-casesi_load-pattern.patch
* 402-fix-length-of-instructions-that-are-in-delay-slot-and-needs-to-be-predicated.patch
* 403-update-casesi_compact_jump-instruction-length.patch
But since arc-2014.12 tools are still based on GCC 4.8 following patches
ar still relevant so moving to the new folder to match ARC gcc bump.
* 100-libstdcxx-uclibc-c99.patch
* 910-gcc-poison-system-directories.patch
Binutils are still based on 2.23 so following patch still makes sense:
* 600-poison-system-directories.patch
