Since its introduction in 7d8a59b40, the BR2_x86_geode CPU target has
pointed to GCC -march=geode which targets AMD Geode processors [0].
This arch tuning enables MMX and 3DNow! extensions in GCC but these are
not currently reflected in the selected flags by BR2_x86_geode.
This is likely due to the confusing naming and history of "Geode".
The AMD Geode can trace its origins back to the Cyrix MediaGXm [1] and
then to the NSC Geode GXm/GXLV/GX1/GX2 [2]. All of these processors have
MMX instruction support listed in their datasheets. The NSC GX2 was the
first in the series to enable 3DNow!.
When 7fed07d3a4 introduced BR2_X86_CPU_HAS_MMX, Geode was skipped
presumably because it wasn't clear that the target is AMD Geode and
because the Wikipedia documentation for Geode is incomplete [2] with
regards to supported instructions as they all support MMX.
When f6cd56b9ce introduced BR2_X86_CPU_HAS_3DNOW, Geode was skipped
presumably for similar reasons.
Note: the in-tree olpc_xo1_defconfig uses BR2_x86_geode which is fine
as this hardware uses the AMD Geode [3].
Make it more clear that the target is AMD Geode by renaming the Kconfig
menu option and add both MMX and 3DNow! flags to BR2_x86_geode.
This also means that BR2_x86_geode_mmx is no longer needed, and can be
removed. No legacy handling is needed since BR2_x86_geode_mmx has
never been part of any release.

Commit 4cbf733691 ("arch/xtensa: custom
configuration requires an overlay") added a check in
arch/arch.mk.xtensa to bail out if a custom Xtensa core is selected
but not overlay file is provided. While this is indeed a perfectly
valid check to make when building an internal toolchain, with an
external toolchain it's entirely possible to build with no overlay
file: the toolchain already exists, and there's no overlay to be
applied in the context of the Buildroot build.
And indeed commit 4cbf733691 broke some
of the runtime test cases that use a custom Xtensa core configuration,
with no overlay, to test the toolchains.bootlin.com Xtensa external
toolchain. By relaxing the check to only apply to internal toolchain
configurations, we fix those test cases.
It is to be noted that this still allows a configuration where gdb gets
built for a custom core, but with no overlay, so basically that means
the fsf variant, which can lead to build or run failures that
4cbf733691 attempted to fix to begin with. This still covers the
most common cases.
Finally, it also means being able to build a kernel with no overlay, but
this is offset by the fact that the kernel may be already patched with
an overlay (as it is possible to specify a custom kernel), which is most
probably what people using a custom core would have.

On some CPU architecures it's possible to use MMU pages of different
sizes, for example on ARC or ARM. And while for user-space
applications the page size is supposed to be transparent, there's
still some use of that extra information. In particular it's possible
to align data structures or code/data sections on page boundary, etc.
For these tricks to become possible tools which pack data (think of
the linker, like GNU "ld") need to be informed of the page size to
be considered.
Obviously, there're some sane defaults which are being used most of
the time, so we even think about that peculiarity, but when non-default
value needs to be used, GNU "ld" accepts 2 properties related to page
size:
-z common-page-size=XXX
-z max-page-size=YYY
And while in thery those might be different (but always "common" <= "max"),
and that might make sense if we build for some unknown platfrom,
in case of Buildroot when we build entire target's filesystem and so
know exactly the configuration we're targeting to, we may safely assume
"common-page-size"="max-page-size".
See a lengthy discussion in this thread [1].

The MMU option is currently located in the "Toolchain" menu, but it
doesn't make sense as it's really architecture related. In addition,
the selection of MMU has an impact on the choice of binary format
available, which is visible in the architecture menu.
Therefore, this commit moves the MMU option into the architecture
menu.
However, if we simply move it in arch/Config.in, it means that we
would have the following order of options:
Target architecture
Target architecture variant
ABI
MMU
Binary format
But really, the MMU option should be right below the Target
architecture variant, and the available ABIs derived from that.
The variant and ABI are arch-specfic, and defined in the per-arch
Config.in fragments; a Kconfig option can have only one prompt defined,
even under conditions, and appears at the place in the menu where its
prompt was defined. So, there is no (easy) possibility to have a
generic option appear where we want it.
Since in fact only 2 architectures show a visible prompt for the MMU
option (RISC-V and Xtensa), we move this option in
arch/Config.in.riscv and arch/Config.in.xtensa.
Some walkthrough the commit:
- BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY and BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL are
removed as they are no longer needed
- BR2_USE_MMU becomes a hidden boolean
- All the places where we used to select BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY
now select BR2_USE_MMU directly.
- Introduce BR2_RISCV_USE_MMU and BR2_XTENSA_USE_MMU.
- All defconfigs that used "# BR2_USE_MMU is not set" are switched to
using the new option.
All in all, this simplifies things quite a bit, and allows to have a
good option ordering in the Target architecture menu.
This commit might raise a concern in terms of backward compatibility
with existing configurations. The only configurations that will be
broken by this change are RISC-V noMMU (which was very recently
introduced) and Xtensa noMMU (which we can probably agree is not such
a widely popular configuration).

Even though that seems weird, the LP64F ABI is only supported when MMU
support is enabled. Indeed, as per commit
9a51381ced ("package/uclibc: prevent
config with unsupported RISC-V float ABI"), uClibc does not support
LP64F. But uClibc is the only C library that support RISC-V 64-bit
noMMU.
So the selection of LP64F and !MMU is impossible. Right now this
selection causes a build failure as no C library is enabled.
This commit fixes this by ensuring we cannot use LP64F when MMU

This commit is based on earlier work from Łukasz Stelmach
<l.stelmach@samsung.com> to add support for different page sizes on
ARM64.
In his initial submission, Łukasz took an approach similar to this
one, i.e make it ARM64-specific. Following the feedback on the mailing
list, his second version [1] tried to generalize the logic to
configure the page size between architectures. But the general
consensus during the review process was that there wasn't much to
generalize in the end.
So, this new iteration is back to a simpler approach:
* We have new options in Config.in.arm to configure the page
size. Only 4 KB and 64 KB are supported, because our testing in
Qemu and real hardware has not allowed to get a successful setup
for 16 KB pages. We can always re-add support for 16 KB later if
that is resolved.
* The logic to define the ARCH_TOOLCHAIN_WRAPPER_OPTS options is
moved from the ARC-specific file to arch/arch.mk, and extended to
cover ARM64.
* The appropriate logic in uclibc.mk and linux.mk is added to tweak
the relevant configuration options.
* A test case is added in the runtime test infrastructure to test
building and booting under Qemu a 64 KB configuration, with all 3 C
libraries.
For the regular configuration of 4 KB pages, this commit makes one
functional change: on ARM64, -Wl,-z,max-page-size=4096 is now passed in
the compiler flags of the wrapper.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>
Since gcc 12, the default RISC-V ISA spec version was bump to 20191213 [1].
This bump introduces a major compatibility issue: support for the csr read/write
(csrr*/csrw*) instructions and fence.i instruction has been separated
from the "I" extension, becoming two standalone extensions: Zicsr and
Zifencei. gcc now has specific -march suffixes to enable those
extensions (_zicsr and _zifencei). If they are not used and code that
uses these instructions is built, one would get errors such as
unrecognized opcode "csrr" (or "fence.i").
For example, without Zifencei we can't build the opensbi
bootloader[2]:
opensbi-1.0/lib/sbi/sbi_tlb.c: Assembler messages:
opensbi-1.0/lib/sbi/sbi_tlb.c:190: Error: unrecognized opcode `fence.i', extension `zifencei' required
As a workaround, the opensbi build system has been patched [3] to use
-march=rv64imafdc_zicsr_zifencei when needed. This workaround doesn't
work in Buildroot due to the local patch
0001-Makefile-Don-t-specify-mabi-or-march.patch which removes -march
from CFLAGS.
In the context of Buildroot, we have decided for now to assume that
all RISC-V cores that are Linux capable will implement the Zicsr and
Zifencei extensions: it is in fact the case today ase these extensions
were part of the I extension, that all cores support. OpenSBI and
Linux are making the same assumption (see [5]).
Therefore, when gcc >= 12, the -march value gets appended with
_zicsr_zifencei.

Selecting BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY from BR2_aarch64 and
BR2_aarch64_be doesn't make much sense, because the actual ARM cores
described in arch/Config.in.arm then all select
BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL. So we end up with both
BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL and BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY, which
doesn't make any sense.
To prevent this, we remove the selection of BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY
from BR2_aarch64 and BR2_aarch64_be, and let arch/Config.in.arm do its
job. What arch/Config.in.arm does is currently incorrect, but it will
be fixed in a separate commit.

Until commit "arch/Config.in.sh: fixup MMU selection" in this series,
SH2A could either be used with BR2_USE_MMU disabled or BR2_USE_MMU
enabled.
The later made absolutely no sense, since SH2A does not have a MMU:
MMU support was introduced starting from SH3 according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperH#SH-3
Also, since commit 22d5501e03 ("arch:
tidy up binary formats config"), which was merged in Buildroot
2015.05, the architecture tuple used when BR2_sh2a=y and BR2_USE_MMU
disabled is sh2a-buildroot-uclinux-uclibc, and this was already
unsupported back in the days of Buildroot 2015.08 and binutils 2.24,
causing the build to fail with:
*** BFD does not support target sh2a-buildroot-uclinux-uclibc.
just like it fails to build today with recent version of binutils.
So, this has been broken since 2015.08, and nobody complained. SH2A is
seldom used, so it's time to kill it.
It is worth mentioning that there had been an attempt at resurrecting
SH2 support around 2015 (see https://lwn.net/Articles/647636/) as part
of the J2 core. This effort led to the addition of FDPIC support for
SH2A in the musl C library (and therefore proper ELF binaries, with
shared libraries), but that was never supported in Buildroot. Now that
the J2 project is essentially dead, there is no reason to bother with
this.

BR2_sh selects BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL, which means that it's up to
the user to decide whether he wants to use MMU or not on SuperH
platforms.
However:
- On SH2A, there is no MMU at all, so being to select "Use MMU"
doesn't make any sense.
- On SH4, there is no support for *not* using the MMU, so disabling
"Use MMU" will cause the build to fail.
In order to fix this, we move the MMU selection to arch/Config.in.sh:
- BR2_sh2a selects nothing, so that it's always noMMU
- BR2_sh4* select BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY so that the MMU is
always used.

The variable 'KERNEL_ARCH' is actually a normalized version of
'ARCH'/'BR2_ARCH'. For example, 'arcle' and 'arceb' both become 'arc', just
as all powerpc variants become 'powerpc'.
It is presumably called 'KERNEL_ARCH' because the Linux kernel is typically
the first place where support for a new architecture is added, and thus is
the entity that defines the normalized name.
However, the term 'KERNEL_ARCH' can also be interpreted as 'the architecture
used by the kernel', which need not be exactly the same as 'the normalized
name for a certain arch'. In particular, for cases where a 64-bit
architecture is running a 64-bit kernel but 32-bit userspace. Examples
include:
* aarch64 architecture, with aarch64 kernel and 32-bit (ARM) userspace
* x86_64 architecture, with x86_64 kernel and 32-bit (i386) userspace
In such cases, the 'architecture used by the kernel' needs to refer to the
64-bit name (aarch64, x86_64), whereas all userspace applications need to
refer the, potentially normalized, 32-bit name.
This means that there need to be two different variables:
KERNEL_ARCH: the architecture used by the kernel
NORMALIZED_ARCH: the normalized name for the current userspace architecture
At this moment, both will actually have the same content. But a subsequent
patch will add basic support for situations described above, in which
KERNEL_ARCH may become overwritten to the 64-bit architecture, while
NORMALIZED_ARCH needs to remain the same (32-bit) case.
This commit replaces use of KERNEL_ARCH where actually the userspace arch is
needed. Places that use KERNEL_ARCH in combination with building of kernel
modules are not touched.
There may be cases where a package builds both a kernel module as userspace,
in which case it may need to know about both KERNEL_ARCH and
NORMALIZED_ARCH, for the case where they differ. But this is to be fixed on
a per-need basis.

Similar to other arch-specific strings, the 'KERNEL_ARCH' variable can be
determined from Config.in.<arch> files.
Besides aligning with similar strings, this also means simplification: the
big 'sed' covers several architectures not even supported by Buildroot.

They are loosely ordered according to the ordering of the gcc
documentation. It is not entirely correct as the generic x86-64,
x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 are listed before i386 in the gcc
documentation, but this nevertheless gives a good explanation for the
overall ordering of the list.

Both skylake and skylake-avx512 were added in gcc 6.x. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylake_(microarchitecture) the early
Skylake processors indeed did not have AVX512 support, while the later
ones did, hence the separate gcc options.
Due to this being the first CPU we support with AVX512, this commit
adds BR2_X86_CPU_HAS_AVX512.

In gcc commit d3c11974032e21121a051d423a1d71097edf752f ("Use proper
Intel processor names for -march=/-mtune="), which was merged in gcc
4.9, the following replacements were made:
* corei7 -> nehalem
* corei7-avx -> sandybridge
* core-avx-i -> ivybridge
* core-avx2 -> haswell
* atom -> bonnel
* slm -> silvermont
So this commit marks the Buildroot options BR2_x86_corei7,
BR2_x86_corei7_avx, BR2_x86_core_avx2 and BR2_x86_atom as deprecated,
and adds the four corresponding options with the newer names.
Note that the older options are still kept because the new option
names are only supported starting gcc 4.9, and we theoretically still
supports targets gcc as old as gcc 4.3.

The BR2_ARCH definition is like this:
* i486 for the i486 platform
* i586 for a small number of platforms
* i686 for all other x86 platforms when used in 32-bit, but we
enumerate their entire list
* x86_64 for all x86 64-bit platforms
The list for i686 is long and needs to be extended everytime a new
platform is added, with no added value.
So this commit simplifies that by replacing this long list with just:
default "i686" if BR2_i386
This works because Kconfig guarantees us that if an i386 platform
matches an earlier case (i486 or one of the i586 platforms), the i486
and i586 earlier in the list will match.
