powerpc: mpc8260: consolidate CONFIG_MPC8260 and CONFIG_8260

2014-03-07T15:59:06+00:00

Before this commit, CONFIG_MPC8260 and CONFIG_8260
were used mixed-up.

All boards with mpc8260 cpu defined both of them:
  - CONFIG_MPC8260 was defined in board config headers
      and include/common.h
  - CONFIG_8260 was defined arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/config.mk

We do not need to have both of them.
This commit keeps only CONFIG_MPC8260.

This commit does:
 - Delete CONFIG_8260 and CONFIG_MPC8260 definition
   in config headers and include/common.h
 - Rename CONFIG_8260 to CONFIG_MPC8260
    in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/config.mk.
 - Rename #ifdef CONFIG_8260 to #ifdef CONFIG_MPC8260

kbuild: improve Kbuild speed

2014-03-07T15:59:06+00:00

Kbuild brought about many advantages for us but a significant
performance regression was reported by Simon Glass.

After some discussions and analysis, it turned out
its main cause is in $(call cc-option,...).

Historically, U-Boot parses all config.mk
(arch/*/config.mk and board/*/config.mk)
every time descending into subdirectories.
That means cc-options are evaluated over and over again.

$(call cc-option,...) is useful but costly.
So we want to evaluate them only in ./Makefile
and spl/Makefile and export compiler flags.

This commit changes the build system as follows:

  - Modify scripts/Makefile.build to not include config.mk
    Instead, add $(PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS) to asflags-y, ccflags-y,
    cppflags-y.

  - Export many variables
    Going forward, Kbuild will not parse config.mk files
    when it descends into subdirectories.
    If we want to set variables in config.mk and use them
    in subdirectories, they must be exported.

    This is the list of variables to get exported:
      PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS
      CPUDIR
      BOARDDIR
      OBJCOPYFLAGS
      LDFLAGS
      LDFLAGS_FINAL
        (used in nand_spl/board/*/*/Makefile)
      CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
        (used in examples/standalone/Makefile)
      SYM_PREFIX
        (used in examples/standalone/Makefile)
      RELFLAGS
        (used in examples/standalone/Makefile)

  - Delete CPPFLAGS
    This variable has been replaced with PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS

  - Copy gcclibdir from example/standalone/Makefile
    to arch/sparc/config.mk
    The reference in CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR must be
    resolved before it is exported.

kbuild: use Linux Kernel build scripts

2014-02-19T16:07:50+00:00

Now we are ready to switch over to real Kbuild.

This commit disables temporary scripts:
  scripts/{Makefile.build.tmp, Makefile.host.tmp}
and enables real Kbuild scripts:
  scripts/{Makefile.build,Makefile.host,Makefile.lib}.

This switch is triggered by the line in scripts/Kbuild.include
  -build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build.tmp obj
  +build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build obj

We need to adjust some build scripts for U-Boot.
But smaller amount of modification is preferable.

Additionally, we need to fix compiler flags which are
locally added or removed.

In Kbuild, it is not allowed to change CFLAGS locally.
Instead, ccflags-y, asflags-y, cppflags-y,
CFLAGS_$(basetarget).o, CFLAGS_REMOVE_$(basetarget).o
are prepared for that purpose.

kbuild: change out-of-tree build

2014-02-19T16:07:50+00:00

This commit changes the working directory
where the build process occurs.

Before this commit, build process occurred under the source
tree for both in-tree and out-of-tree build.

That's why we needed to add $(obj) prefix to all generated
files in makefiles like follows:
  $(obj)u-boot.bin:  $(obj)u-boot

Here, $(obj) is empty for in-tree build, whereas it points
to the output directory for out-of-tree build.

And our old build system changes the current working directory
with "make -C " syntax when descending into the
sub-directories.

On the other hand, Kbuild uses a different idea
to handle out-of-tree build and directory descending.

The build process of Kbuild always occurs under the output tree.
When "O=dir/to/store/output/files" is given, the build system
changes the current working directory to that directory and
restarts the make.

Kbuild uses "make -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.build obj="
syntax for descending into sub-directories.
(We can write it like "make $(obj)=" with a shorthand.)
This means the current working directory is always the top
of the output directory.

Makfile: move suffix rules to Makefile.build

2014-02-19T16:07:50+00:00

This commit moves suffix rules from config.mk
to scripts/Makefile.build, which will allow us
to switch smoothly to real Kbuild.

Note1:
post/lib_powerpc/fpu/Makefile has
its own rule to compile C sources.
We need to tweak it to keep the same behavior.

Note2:
There are two file2 with the same name:
arch/arm/lib/crt0.S and eamples/api/crt0.S.
To keep the same build behavior,
examples/api/Makefile also has to be treaked.
