Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 3/3] arch/arm: Add ARMV8 (aarch32) toolchain config.
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 10:53:23 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471913603-21487-4-git-send-email-flatmax@flatmax.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1471913603-21487-1-git-send-email-flatmax@flatmax.org>

This commit configures the toolchain to use the ARMV8 hardware features.
This commit also cleans up and adds to the previous cortex-a53 commit.

This commit adds BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_ARMV8 to arch/Config.in.arm and cleans up
the BR2_cortex_a53 config to remove redundant selections relating to VFPV4 and
ARMV7A. The commit also adds BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_ARMV8 to BR2_ARM_EABIHF which
allows the selection of hard float (HF) activating the toolchain for whatever
specific ARMV8 hardware features are possible. It also adds the
BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_ARMV8 HF tuning (crypto-neon-fp-armv8).

The cortex-a53 BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL selection ensures that uclibc successfully
compiles without non-compliant swp assembly calls.
