Buildroot would automatically enable multithreading in OpenBLAS if the architecture supports it. However, one may want to avoid OpenBLAS creating threads itself and configure single-threaded operation. To accommodate this use case, add a config option for multithreading. When multithreading is disabled but OpenBLAS functions are called in the same application by multiple threads, then locking is mandatory. The USE_LOCKING flag was added in version 0.3.7 with following release note: a new option USE_LOCKING was added to ensure thread safety when OpenBLAS itself is built without multithreading but will be called from multiple threads. However, if one knows that OpenBLAS will only be called from single-threaded applications, then passing USE_LOCKING is not necessary, so make it a config option too. When multithreading is enabled, locking is implicitly enabled inside openblas, so only provide the locking option when multithreading is disabled.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
