Building a 64bit kernel for the SGI O2 (IP32) and the SGI Indy (IP22) uses
the 'vmlinux.32' target, which converts the output 64-bit 'vmlinux' image
into a 32-bit wrapped image. This is needed for certain revisions of the
IP22 and IP32 ARCS PROMs to boot correctly, but this target is missing
from the 'archhelp' info that is emitted by 'make help'.

Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:
{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
LD arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float
To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS; but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

The kernel code overrides the default ISA as passed by the compiler
in quite a few places. This has unfortunate side effects when smartmips
is enabled leading to hundreds of warnings during build such as:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:411: Warning: the `smartmips' extension requires MIPS32
revision 1 or greater
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:43: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the
`smartmips' extension
[...]
Until the kernel code is fixed properly (if possible), disable all the
assembler warning messages to make the build logs readable again.
This has no runtime side effects but it makes it easier to spot
more critical warnings and problems during build.

This fixes a regression caused by commit
bb6c0bd3fd [MIPS: SB1: Fix excessive kernel
warnings.], that makes `-march=r5000' selected for compilation flags
rather than supposed `-march=sb1' with compilers that do not support the
ASE selection flags introduced with that change.
For example GCC 4.1.2 supports `-mips3d'/`-mno-mips3d' (and obviously
`-march=sb1'), however it does not support `-mdmx'/`-mno-mdmx'. As a
result the whole selection of flags fails and compilation resorts to using
`-march=r5000', meant for really old compilers indeed only.
It is always best to pick the flags individually unless we are absolutely
sure a set of flags was introduced to the toolchain together (`-march=sb1'
and `-mtune=sb1' would be a good example), and this change makes it happen
for CONFIG_CPU_SB1. Consequently the flags ultimately selected with GCC
4.1.2 are `-march=sb1 -Wa,--trap -mno-mips3d'

This patch introduces definitions for the MSA control registers and
functions which allow access to both the control & vector registers. If
the toolchain being used to build the kernel includes support for MSA
then this patch will make use of that support & use MSA instructions
directly. However toolchain support for MSA is very new & far from a
point where it can be reasonably expected that everyone building the
kernel uses a toolchain with support. Thus fallbacks using .word
assembler directives are also provided for now as a temporary measure.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv". The
patch series describes this core as follows.
"The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
and optional floating point unit."
The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families. It adds
support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.

When CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT is not enabled, we will still try to
build the decompressor code in arch/mips/boot/compressed as a
dependency for producing the vmlinuz target and this will result in
the following build failure:
OBJCOPY arch/mips/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c: In function 'decompress_kernel':
arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c:105:2: error: implicit
declaration of function 'decompress'
make[1]: *** [arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [vmlinuz] Error 2
This is a genuine build failure because we have no implementation for
the decompress() function body since no kernel compression method
defined in CONFIG_KERNEL_(GZIP,BZIP2...) has been enabled.
arch/mips/Makefile already guards the install target for the "vmlinuz"
binary with a proper ifdef CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT, we now also do the
same if we attempt to do a "make vmlinuz" and show that
CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT is not enabled.

Add a uImage build target for MIPS, which builds uImage.gz (a U-Boot
image of vmlinux.bin.gz), and then symlinks it to uImage. This allows
for the use of other compression algorithms in future, and is how a few
other architectures do it.
It's enabled conditionally on load-y >= 0xffffffff80000000 which
hopefully allows 64bit kernels to also work as long as the load and
entry address can be represented by the 32bit addresses in the U-Boot
image format.

The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple
places:
- arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or
defined by the platform) and passes it to
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile.
- arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm.
- arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address
using nm.
Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make
parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/,
boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use
them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets.
The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the
load address using nm.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

It was a nice optimization - on paper at least. In practice it results in
branches that may exceed the maximum legal range for a branch. We can
fight that problem with -ffunction-sections but -ffunction-sections again
is incompatible with -pg used by the function tracer.
By rewriting the loop around all simple LL/SC blocks to C we reduce the
amount of inline assembler and at the same time allow GCC to often fill
the branch delay slots with something sensible or whatever else clever
optimization it may have up in its sleeve.
With this optimization gone we also no longer need -ffunction-sections,
so drop it.
This optimization was originally introduced in 2.6.21, commit
5999eca25c1fd4b9b9aca7833b04d10fe4bc877d (linux-mips.org) rsp.

It was sharing the nxp directory but no code with pnx833x and will fit
better into the new platform makefile scheme, if moved. Also after the
pnx833x code has been moved up, the pnx8550 Code was the last users of
the nxp dir.
