If you run 'make uImage uImage.gz' with the parallel option, uImage.gz will be created by two threads simultaneously. This is because arch/arc/Makefile does not specify the dependency between uImage and uImage.gz. Hence, GNU Make assumes they can be built in parallel. One thread descends into arch/arc/boot/ to create uImage, and another to create uImage.gz. Please notice the same log is displayed twice in the following steps: $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<your-arc-compiler-prefix> $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arc uImage uImage.gz [ snip ] LD vmlinux SORTTAB vmlinux SYSMAP System.map OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin GZIP arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz GZIP arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz UIMAGE arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz UIMAGE arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz Image Name: Linux-5.10.0-rc4-00003-g62f23044 Created: Sun Nov 22 02:52:26 2020 Image Type: ARC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 2109376 Bytes = 2059.94 KiB = 2.01 MiB Load Address: 80000000 Entry Point: 80004000 Image arch/arc/boot/uImage is ready Image Name: Linux-5.10.0-rc4-00003-g62f23044 Created: Sun Nov 22 02:52:26 2020 Image Type: ARC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 2815455 Bytes = 2749.47 KiB = 2.69 MiB Load Address: 80000000 Entry Point: 80004000 This is a race between the two threads trying to write to the same file arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz. This is a potential problem that can generate a broken file. I fixed a similar problem for ARM by commit 3939f334 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images"). I highly recommend to avoid such build rules that cause a race condition. Move the uImage rule to arch/arc/Makefile. Another strangeness is that arch/arc/boot/Makefile compares the timestamps between $(obj)/uImage and $(obj)/uImage.*: $(obj)/uImage: $(obj)/uImage.$(suffix-y) @LN -sf $(notdir $<) $@ @echo ' Image $@ is ready' This does not work as expected since $(obj)/uImage is a symlink. The symlink should be created in a phony target rule. I used $(kecho) instead of echo to suppress the message 'Image arch/arc/boot/uImage is ready' when the -s option is given. Signed-off-by:

The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create files there. If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot image will not be created. You can confirm it by the following steps: $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<your-arc-compiler-prefix> $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all # vmlinux will be built $ touch uImage.gz $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

These days there are versions and varaints of ARC HS cores some of which have specific -mcpu options to fine tune / optimize generated code. So allow users/external build systems to specify their own -mcpu This will be used in future patches for HSDK-4xD board support which uses specific -mcpu to utilize dual issue scheduling of the core.

Starting from nSIM 2019.06 is possible to use DW UART instead of ARC UART. That allows us to merge "nsim_hs" with "haps_hs" and "nsim_hs_smp" with "haps_hs_smp" with minor changes which were done in previous commits. We eliminate nsim_hs_defconfig and nsim_hs_smp_defconfig and leave haps_hs_defconfig and haps_hs_smp_defconfig which can be used on HAPS / nSIM / ZEBU / QEMU platforms without additional changes in Linux kernel. For nSIM we should now use UART property values "-prop=nsim_mem-dev=uart0,kind=dwuart,base=0xf0000000" instead of previously used "-prop=nsim_mem-dev=uart0,base=0xc0fc1000" "use_connect" and "irq" values of UART property remains untouched.

arch/arc/Makefile overrides -O2 with -O3. This is the only user of ARCH_CFLAGS. There is no user of ARCH_CPPFLAGS or ARCH_AFLAGS. My plan is to remove ARCH_{CPP,A,C}FLAGS after refactoring the ARC Makefile. Currently, ARC has no way to enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized because both -O3 and -Os disable it. Enabling it will be useful for compile-testing. This commit allows allmodconfig (, which defaults to -O2) to enable it. Add CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3=y to all the defconfig files in arch/arc/configs/ in order to keep the current config settings. Signed-off-by:

For a long time we used to hard-code CROSS_COMPILE prefix for ARC until it started to cause problems, so we decided to solely rely on CROSS_COMPILE externally set by a user: commit 40660f1f ("ARC: build: Don't set CROSS_COMPILE in arch's Makefile"). While it works perfectly fine for build-systems where the prefix gets defined anyways for us human beings it's quite an annoying requirement especially given most of time the same one prefix "arc-linux-" is all what we need. It looks like finally we're getting the best of both worlds: 1. W/o cross-toolchain we still may install headers, build .dtb etc 2. W/ cross-toolchain get the kerne built with only ARCH=arc Inspired by [1] & [2].

Change the default defconfig (used with 'make defconfig') to the ARCv2 nsim_hs_defconfig, and also switch the default Kconfig ISA selection to ARCv2. This allows several default defconfigs (e.g. make defconfig, make allnoconfig, make tinyconfig) to all work with ARCv2 by default. Note since we change default architecture from ARCompact to ARCv2 it's required to explicitly mention architecture type in ARCompact defconfigs otherwise ARCv2 will be implied and binaries will be generated for ARCv2.

There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain. The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different. Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules. The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'. These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler (specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs. All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be dtc. This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were missing the target. Acked-by:

There's not much sense in doing that because if user or his build-system didn't set CROSS_COMPILE we still may very well make incorrect guess. But as it turned out setting CROSS_COMPILE is not as harmless as one may think: with recent changes that implemented automatic discovery of __host__ gcc features unconditional setup of CROSS_COMPILE leads to failures on execution of "make xxx_defconfig" with absent cross-compiler, for more info see [1]. Set CROSS_COMPILE as well gets in the way if we want only to build .dtb's (again with absent cross-compiler which is not really needed for building .dtb's), see [2]. Note, we had to change LIBGCC assignment type from ":=" to "=" so that is is resolved on its usage, otherwise if it is resolved at declaration time with missing CROSS_COMPILE we're getting this error message from host GCC: | gcc: error: unrecognized command line option -mmedium-calls | gcc: error: unrecognized command line option -mno-sdata [1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-snps-arc/2018-September/004308.html [2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-snps-arc/2018-September/004320.html Signed-off-by:

This check is very naive: we simply test if GCC invoked without "-mcpu=XXX" has ARC700 define set. In that case we think that GCC was built with "--with-cpu=arc700" and has libgcc built for ARC700. Otherwise if ARC700 is not defined we think that everythng was built for ARCv2. But in reality our life is much more interesting. 1. Regardless of GCC configuration (i.e. what we pass in "--with-cpu" it may generate code for any ARC core). 2. libgcc might be built with explicitly specified "--mcpu=YYY" That's exactly what happens in case of multilibbed toolchains: - GCC is configured with default settings - All the libs built for many different CPU flavors I.e. that check gets in the way of usage of multilibbed toolchains. And even non-multilibbed toolchains are affected. OpenEmbedded also builds GCC without "--with-cpu" because each and every target component later is compiled with explicitly set "-mcpu=ZZZ".

Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental override of the variable. Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the naming convention.

This initial port adds support of ARC HS Development Kit board with some basic features such serial port, USB, SD/MMC and Ethernet. Essentially we run Linux kernel on all 4 cores (i.e. utilize SMP) and heavily use IO Coherency for speeding-up DMA-aware peripherals. Note as opposed to other ARC boards we link Linux kernel to 0x9000_0000 intentionally because cores 1 and 3 configured with DCCM situated at our more usual link base 0x8000_0000. We still can use memory region starting at 0x8000_0000 as we reallocate DCCM in our platform code. Note that PAE remapping for DMA clients does not work due to an RTL bug, so CREG_PAE register must be programmed to all zeroes, otherwise it will cause problems with DMA to/from peripherals even if PAE40 is not used.

Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases [2]. Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false positives, and in commit e74fc973 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This drastically reduced the number of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig' builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed. With commit 877417e6 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7 and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings for ARM randconfig builds. However, commit 6e8d666e ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had not addressed until then. This caused a lot of actual bugs to get merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during the v4.9 development cycle. Most of these are actual bugs, some are for correct code that is safe because it is only called under external constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees, and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can obviously never happen. I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch the actual bugs earlier. This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into mainline without introducing false positives. A follow-up patch enables it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because of false-positives.

This has caused a bunch of build failures at a few sites, with GNU 2015.12 and older as the assembler seems to need -mlock to be able to grok llock/scond instructions for ARC700 builds. different places since the older tools still seem to release of tools which most people are using seem to trip with the -mlock flag not being passed. This reverts commit c3005475.

These are really ancient toggles and tools no longer require them to be passed. This paves way for deprecating them in long run. Signed-off-by:

1. detect whether binutils supports the cfi pseudo ops 2. define conditional macros to generate the ops 3. define new ENTRY_CFI/END_CFI to annotate hand asm code. - Needed because we don't want to emit dwarf info in general ENTRY/END used by lowest level trap/exception/interrutp handlers as unwinder gets confused trying to unwind out of them. We want unwinder to instead stop when it hits onfo those routines - These provide minimal start/end cfi ops assuming routine doesn't touch stack memory/regs Signed-off-by:

In .debug_frame based unwinding regime, we used to force -gdwarf-2 since kernel unwinder only claimed to handle dwarf 2. This changed since commit 6d0d5060 ("ARC: dw2 unwind: Don't bail for CIE.version != 1") which added some support beyond dwarf 2, atleast to handle CIE != 1 The ill-effect of -gdwarf-2 is that it forces generation of .debug_* sections, which bloats loadable modules .ko files. For the curious, this doesn't affect vmlinx binary since linker script discards .debug_* but same discard is not yet implemented for modules. So it seems we can drop the -gdwarf-2 toggle, which should not be needed anyways given that we now use .eh_frame based unwinding. I've verified using GNU 2016.09-engo10 that the actual unwind info is not different with or w/o this toggle - but the debug_* sections are gone for good. before ----- arc-linux-readelf -S q_proc.ko-unwinding-1-eh_frame-switch | grep debug [15] .debug_info PROGBITS 00000000 000300 00d08d 00 0 0 1 [16] .rela.debug_info RELA 00000000 0162a0 008844 0c I 29 15 4 [17] .debug_abbrev PROGBITS 00000000 00d38d 0005f8 00 0 0 1 [18] .debug_loc PROGBITS 00000000 00d985 000070 00 0 0 1 [19] .rela.debug_loc RELA 00000000 01eae4 0000c0 0c I 29 18 4 [20] .debug_aranges PROGBITS 00000000 00d9f5 000040 00 0 0 1 [21] .rela.debug_arang RELA 00000000 01eba4 000030 0c I 29 20 4 [22] .debug_ranges PROGBITS 00000000 00da35 000018 00 0 0 1 [23] .rela.debug_range RELA 00000000 01ebd4 000030 0c I 29 22 4 [24] .debug_line PROGBITS 00000000 00da4d 000b5b 00 0 0 1 [25] .rela.debug_line RELA 00000000 01ec04 0000cc 0c I 29 24 4 [26] .debug_str PROGBITS 00000000 00e5a8 007831 01 MS 0 0 1 after ---- Signed-off-by:

So finally after almost 8 years of dealing with .debug_frame, we are finally switching to .eh_frame. The reason being stripped kernel binaries had non-functional unwinder as .debug_frame was gone. Also, in general .eh_frame seems more common way of doing unwinding. This also folds a revert of f52e126c ("ARC: unwind: ensure that .debug_frame is generated (vs. .eh_frame)") to ensure that we start getting .eh_frame Reported-by:

Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example. Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough) that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized. The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning that causes more problems than the warning can solve. If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I want to be able to see the *real* warnings. Signed-off-by:

With recent binutils update to support dwarf CFI pseudo-ops in gas, we now get .eh_frame vs. .debug_frame. Although the call frame info is exactly the same in both, the CIE differs, which the current kernel unwinder can't cope with. This broke both the kernel unwinder as well as loadable modules (latter because of a new unhandled relo R_ARC_32_PCREL from .rela.eh_frame in the module loader) The ideal solution would be to switch unwinder to .eh_frame. For now however we can make do by just ensureing .debug_frame is generated by removing -fasynchronous-unwind-tables .eh_frame generated with -gdwarf-2 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables .debug_frame generated with -gdwarf-2 Fixes STAR 9001058196 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

linux-next has been reporting gazillion warnings for ARC build and I finally decided to take a bite: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/12638735/ Most of the them are due to -Wmaybe-uninitialized | ../kernel/sysctl.c: In function '__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax': | ../kernel/sysctl.c:1928:12: warning: 'p' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] | ret = tmp - *buf; | ^ | ../kernel/sysctl.c:2342:29: note: 'p' was declared here | char *kbuf = NULL, *p; | ^ | ... | ... Cursory look at code seemed fine and a definite gcc false positive in say kernel/sysctl.c Mystery was why only for ARC (and not with ARM linaro toolchain based off same gcc 4.8). Turns out that -O3 (default for ARC) triggers these and if I enable -O3 for ARM kernel build, I see the same splat. I initially wanted to disable this only for gcc 4.8, but Arnd reported it is seen even on gcc 6.0 for ARM with -O3. Thus better to disable this independent of gcc version.

ARC architecture has 2 instruction sets: ARCompact/ARCv2. While same gcc supports compiling for either (using appropriate toggles), we can't use the same toolchain to build kernel because libgcc needs to be unique and the toolchian (uClibc based) is not multilibed. uClibc toolchain is convenient since it allows all userspace and kernel to be built with a single install for an ISA. This however means 2 gnu installs (with same triplet prefix) are needed for building for 2 ISA and need to be in PATH. As developers we keep switching the builds, but would occassionally fail to update the PATH leading to usage of wrong tools. And this would only show up at the end of kernel build when linking incompatible libgcc. So the initial solution was to have gcc define a special preprocessor macro DEFAULT_CPU_xxx which is unique for default toolchain configuration. Claudiu proposed using grep for an existing preprocessor macro which is again uniquely defined per ISA. Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Suggested-by:
