We already have support for a wide range of x86-64 CPUs, but we don't
have any option to build for the most generic possible x86-64 CPU, as
made available by the -march=x86-64 GCC option.
This commit makes this option available in Buildroot.
It only really makes sense to use as a 64-bit CPU, and not as a 32-bit
one, so we guard it behind BR2_x86_64.

Back in the day we relied on a default value that used to be 8KiB
and it worked perfectly fine for ARC's default 8KiB page as well as
4 KiB ones, but not for 16 KiB, see [1] for more details.
So that we fixed by setting "max-page-size" if 16KiB pages are in use by
commit d024d369b8 ("arch/arc: Accommodate 16 KiB MMU pages").
But as Yann very rightfully mentioned here [2] we should be setting this
thing explicitly for all page sizes because:
1. Defaults might change unexpectedly
2. Explicitly set stuff is better understood
3. We act similarly to all settings but not only addressing some corner cases

ARC processors are known for its configurability and one of those
configurable things is MMU page size which might be set to any
power of two from 4 KiB to 16 MiB, though in the Linux kernel we
only support 4, 8 and 16 KiB due to practical considerations.
And the most used setting is 8 KiB thus GNU LD assumes maximum
page size is 8 KiB by default and while this works for smaller
pages (it's OK to align segments by larger value it will be still
peoperly aligned) this breaks execution of user-space apps on HW
with larger pages because Elf sections might very well span across
allocated pages and thus make executable broken.
Simplest example:
------------------------------------>8-----------------------------------
$ arc-linux-gcc test.c
$ arc-linux-readelf --segments a.out
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
...
LOAD 0x000000 0x00010000 0x00010000 0x003e8 0x003e8 R E 0x2000 <-- See
LOAD 0x001f24 0x00013f24 0x00013f24 0x000f0 0x0010c RW 0x2000
------------------------------------>8-----------------------------------
Fortunately we may override default page size settings with "max-page-size"
linker option this way:
------------------------------------>8-----------------------------------
$ arc-linux-gcc test.c -Wl,-z,max-page-size=16384
$ arc-linux-readelf --segments a.out
Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0x102c4
There are 8 program headers, starting at offset 52
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
...
LOAD 0x000000 0x00010000 0x00010000 0x003e8 0x003e8 R E 0x4000 <-- See
LOAD 0x001f24 0x00015f24 0x00015f24 0x000f0 0x0010c RW 0x4000

This patch introduces a recently released significant update to ARC HS
family: ARC HS48.
One of the major ARC HS48 features is dual-issue pipeline which requires a
little bit modified instruction scheduling compared to single-issue cores
(HS38), thus new "-mcpu/--with-cpu=hs4x".
Also to address some peculiarities of early designs based on HS48 we
introduced yet another "-mcpu/--with-cpu=hs4x_rel31" which we're going to use
as well on some of our development boards.

We used to build everything for pretty much baseline ARC HS capable
of runnig Linux kernel, which was ARC HS38/48 with MMU and caches.
But there's a fully featured ARC HS with additional support for
- Dual & quad integer multiply and MAC operations
- Double-precision floating-point unit
It corresponds to the following ARC HS templates in ARChitect: hs38_slc_full.
In fact existing HSDK board uses exactly this configuration in its SoC
and this is recommended configuration for Linux use-cases.
To make life simpler we have corresponding "-mcpu" and "--with-cpu"
options in ARC GCC port so we're going to use it and get binaries
built accordingly optimized.
And while at it added help message so users may better understand
what they are dealing with.

As Guo explained, upstream gcc does not support abi-v1 (only abi-v2), but
ck610 needs abi-v1 [0] [1]
To simplify things, we make the whole C-SKY architecture require gcc-9
or later, and add a single exception in gcc to force the ck610 to use
the C-SKY port.
Note that this does not change the default gcc version to be used for
C-SKY: the C-SKY port is still always the default one; the gcc-9 version
is only proposed as an alternative (except for ck610, of course).

In gcc-9, some cores from the ThunderX familly have been renamed to

have been added to gcc, with the old names still being around.
Update the prompts with the new names as alternative to the existing
names. We still keep the kconfig options as-is, so that we do not need
to add legacy handling.
However, since there is no guarantee for how long gcc will retain
compatibility for the older names, we readily switch over to using the
new names when using a gcc 9-or-later, but keep using the older names

The armv8.2a generation is a cumulative extension to armv8.1a.
Since gcc correctly enables the appropriate extensions based on the core
name, we don't really need to introduce a separate config for armv8.2a,
and we can piggyback on armv8a.
In theory, gcc supports those cores in arm mode. However, configuring
gcc thusly generates a non-working gcc that constantly whines:
cc1: warning: switch -mcpu=cortex-a55 conflicts with -march=armv8.2-a switch
It is to be noted that the -march flag is internal to gcc. It is not
something that Buildroot did set when configuring gcc; Buildroot only
ever sets --with-cpu (not --with-arch).
Additionally, uClibc fails to build entirely (unsure if this is caused
by the above, or if it is a separate issue, though), with:
#### Your compiler does not support TLS and you are trying to build uClibc-ng
#### with NPTL support. Upgrade your binutils and gcc to versions which
#### support TLS for your architecture. Do not contact uClibc-ng maintainers
#### about this problem.
Glibc and musl have not been tested in arm mode, so maybe we could have
a toolchain that eventually works (or at least, pretends to be working),
but we decided it was not worth the effort.
Thus, we restrict those cores to AArch64 mode only.

However, for Cortex-M cores, the optional FPU is not a superset of

maintain, with poor support in upstream binutils/gcc. As of April
2018, the Blackfin architecture has been dropped from the upstream
Linux kernel. Also, the Analog Device engineer who used to be in touch
with the Buildroot community also privately said we should drop the
support for this architecture, which Analog Devices is no longer
using, promoting and maintaining.
The BR2_BINFMT_FLAT_SEP_DATA option becomes unselectable, it will be
removed in a future commit.

Since we re-organised the list of cores (in 52d500aa35) and introduced
some new cores (in e9960da6ec, d632d9e5a9, 6317a199ec), the default for
AArch64 was accidently changed from A53 to A35.
So, restore the default to A53 for AArch64.

The armv8.1a generation is a cumulative extension to armv8a. It adds new
extensions, and makes some previously optional ones now mandatory.
Since gcc correctly enables the appropriate extensions based on the core
name, we don't really need to introduce a separate config for armv8.1a,
and we can piggyback on armv8a.
All those new cores are aarch64 only (gcc fails to build in arm mode).

Currently, the logic for ordering the ARM cores in the choice is all
but obvious. ;-)
Reorder the choice by architecture generation, starting with armv4,
ending with armv8.
Add a comment before each generation, just for ease of use. Add a
separate comment for armv7a and armv7m.
Finally, order cores alphabetically inside the same generation (except
for armv7m cores, listed after all armv7a cores).

Currently, the possibility to choose the floating point mode (32, xx or
64) is conditional on having a sufficiently recent gcc version.
Which means that the architecture selection depends on the gcc version.
But that's opposite to what we've always done in Buildroot: the software
versions are conditional to the architecture options. There is nothing
we can do about the hardware: it is there, we can't change it, while we
can restrict ourselves to using software that is working on said
hardware.
Thus, we inverse the logic, to move the condition onto the software
side: whenever mfpxx is selected, we restrict the toolchain selection to
at least a gcc-5.
And now, the blind BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_MFPXX_OPTION symbol is no longer
needed, so we get rid of it.

Also, the conditions explained in the commit log for 78c2a9f7 were not

78c2a9f7 forgot to add the condition to gcc-4.9.
gcc-4.9 was excluded for cortex-a17 and a72, but the CodeSourcery
external toolchain, which uses 4.8, was not excluded for those two
cores. Now it is.

We leave the musl vs mips64 conditions in gcc, because the "fault"

Some CPU variants require that a recent-enough gcc be selected. For
example, ARM's cortex-a35 requires gcc-5, while cortex-a73 requires
gcc-7. Same goes for other architectures, of course.
Currently, we hard-code every such conditions in the gcc version choice,
as well as in the individual external toolchains.
However, as we add even more CPU variants, the conditions are getting
more and more complex to write and maintain.
Introduce new symbols, that architectures can select if they have a
specific requirement on the gcc version. gcc and external toolchains
can then properly depend on those symbols.
The burden of maintaining the requirements on the gcc version now falls
down to the architeture, instead of being split up in gcc and all the
external toolchains.
As the oldest gcc version to handle, we can either choose gcc-4.9, as
the oldest version we support in our internal toolchain, or choose
gcc-4.8, as the oldest external toolchain we support (except for the
custom ones, but they'll be handled specifically in upcoming changes).
We choose to go back up to gcc-4.8.

Those cores are not supported in upstream gcc, not even in master.
The only toolchain that supported those core was the 2014R1 ADI
rebuilt toolchain, but we removed it in 311bc13 (toolchain: kill
ADI Blackfin toolchain) because there was too many issues with it.
ADI has not released any newer toolchain since then.
There is little hope for those cores now, so remove them.
Support for those cores has been useless and unusable for a while
without nobody noticing, therefore we intentionally skip adding
Config.in.legacy. This would require keeping code in
arch/Config.in.bfin since the options being removed are inside a
choice...endchoice block.

Some architectures or specific cores do not have support in upstream
gcc. Currently, they are individually listed as exclusions in the
toolchain choice.
This poses a maintainance burden, as the knowledge about what gcc
version supports what architecture is split across many places: the
toolchain choice, the gcc version choice, the external toolchains.
As a first step, add a blind option that architectures or individual
cores may select to indicate they lack support in our internal backend.
Actual use of the option will come in followup patches.

MIPS32 support different FP modes (32,xx,64), so give the user the
opportunity to choose between them. That will cause host-gcc to be built
using the --with-fp-32=[32|xx|64] configure option. Also the
-mfp[32|xx|64] gcc option will be added to TARGET_CFLAGS and to the
toolchain wrapper.
FP mode option shouldn't be used for soft-float, so we add logic in the
toolchain wrapper if -msoft-float is among the arguments in order to not
append the -fp[[32|xx|64] option, otherwise the compilation may fail.

NaN legacy is the only option available for R2 cores and older.

R5 cores can have either NaN legacy or NaN 2008, depending on the
implementation. So, if the user selects a generic R5 target architecture

currently, specifying a custom Xtrensa core is done with two variables:
- the core name
- the directory containing the overlay tarball
However, the core name only serves to construct the tarball name, and is
not used whatsoever to configure any of the toolchain components
(binutils, gcc or gdb), except through the files that are overlayed in
their respective source trees.
This has two main drawbacks:
- the overlay file must be named after the core,
- the tarball can not be compressed.
Furthermore, it also makes it extremely complex to implement a download
of that tarball.
So, those two variables can be squeezed into a single variable, that is
the complete path of the overlay tarball.
Update the qemu-xtensa defconfig accordingly.
Note: we do not add a legacy entry for BR2_XTENSA_CORE_NAME, since it
was previously a blind option in the last release, and there's been no
release since we removed BR2_XTENSA_CUSTOM_NAME. So, we just update the
legacy comments for BR2_XTENSA_CUSTOM_NAME, since that's all the user
could have seen in any of our releases so far.
