[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4 v2] arch/arm: introduce big.LITTLE configurations

[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4 v2] arch/arm: introduce big.LITTLE configurations

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This series adds four new CPU variants to the arm choice, to enable
optimising for big.LITTLE CPUs.

We first fix the current values in the first patch, then introduce the
actual new variants, and then make use of them in the sole package that
needs to know of them.

This has been only slightly tested by simply building the toolchains for
the six possibilities:
  - the four variants in arm mode (32-bit),
  - the two armv8 variants in aarch64 mode (64-bit).

The variants were introduced in various versions of gcc, so we protect
the internal gcc as well as the external toolchains accordingly.

To be noted: openblas also has a cortex-a15 optimisation, so maybe that
optimisation can also be used for the cortex-a15.cortex-a7 variant as
well. But I have absolutely no clue what openblas is doing with that
anyway, so I left it alone for someone else to deal with...


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/4 v2] arch/arm: fix -mcpu default values for AArch64

[Yann E. MORIN]

We have to specify the -mcpu value, even in 64-bit mode.

For AArch64, +fp and +simd are the default, so they are totally useless.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - squash the two changes into one patch  (Thomas)
  - remove useless parentheses  (Baruch)
  - remove superfluous indentation

Notes: If anything, it is the +nofp or +nosimd that should be specified.
This can be done in a future patch, though.

 However, we typically want to be explicit about things, so when the +nofp and
+nosimd are added we want these lines to return as well. Wouldn't it be better
to just add the noXX variants in this patch?

 That said, this patch actually fixes the !FP case so

When we talked about that with Thomas, he said he preferred we drop them
altogether.

Also, adding the no variants is not that easy, because it involves all
of 64-bit, vfpv8 and neon.

However, we do not have an option for noen on 64-bit for now. We can't
re-use the existing 32-bit neon option either, because some packages
expect that neon is the 32-bit variant.

So, it is a little bit more involved.

Since the no variants were not really working anyway for now, there is
yet no regression yet.

I also just decided to stay with just adding the big.LITTLE variants
rather than send another many-patches series like I'm used to.

 GCC is *not* an arch dependency, so this should just be

	default y if BR2_i386
	default y if BR2_powerpc64 || BR2_powerpc64le
	default y if BR2_x86_64

 And here

	depends on !((BR2_i386 || BR2_x86_64) || BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST_4_5

with the big comment above it.

 And also the comment is missing at the moment - which is probably why you
didn't notice that it's not an architecture dependency.

Yet we already use similar construct in other packages, like host-go:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS
        depends on (BR2_arm && BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE) || [...]

or like kodi:

     config BR2_PACKAGE_KODI_ARCH_SUPPORTS
        default y if (BR2_arm || (BR2_mipsel && BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC) || [...]

or with libsigsegv:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSIGSEGV_ARCH_SUPPORTS
        default y if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
        default y if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_MUSL
        default y if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC && [...archs...]

or libunwind, openal (interesting case), openblas, protobuf.

Arguaby, none of the above have a dependency on gcc, but some are on the
C library, and others are on toolchain features...

OK, will add.

Yes, but see what I replied to Carlos about adding a
BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_PAM_ARCH_SUPPORTS option, which would have encoded
non-architecture dependencies.

And it looks like I agree as I addressed Arnout's comment in v3. ;-)

I was just pointing out that we are not entirely consistent with this
rule, as some packages have such non-arch dependencies in their
_ARCH_SUPPORT symbols.

I'll try to find some time to fix them. :-)

Yann E. MORIN.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/4 v2] arch/arm: add big.LITTLE cpu variants

[Yann E. MORIN]

The big.LITTLE configurations can be optimised for by gcc, and a few
users wonder what they should choose when they have such CPUs.

Add new entries for those big.LITTLE configurations.

 Not for this patch, but: is this actually correct? Looking at the kernel's
arch/arm/Kconfig, I see that all the platforms that can be selected when MMU is
not selected are <= ARMv6. Well, I'm not entirely sure, it's a bit difficult to
map stuff like CPU_XSC3 on an ARM version.

 According to [1], a72.a53 was added in GCC 5. And a57.a53 was already added in
GCC 4.9 - is it broken in GCC 5?

 Ah, here you mention it. Better raise that to the commit message. Do you also
have a reference for it?

I just duplicated for a15-a7 what we had for a15 and a7, which
fortunately was exactly identical. So a15-a7 can be noMMU in Buildroot.

Does that make sense? Probably not, but this should be fixed by another
patch, then.

I indeed tried various versions of gcc, starting with gcc-4.9.

The depednencies I added here are based on brokenness of versions
earlier than that.

No, except that gcc did not build: the brokenness manifested itself with
gcc's configure script refusing the big-LITTLE variants.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/4 v2] package/kvm-unit-test: available for big.LITTLE arm cores too

[Yann E. MORIN]

Since it supports each variants individually, it should also supports
the big.LITTLE configurations.
