[PATCH 1/3] toolchain,glibc: Allow ARC big endian glibc builds

[Vineet Gupta]

From: Vineet Gupta <Vineet.Gupta1@synopsys.com>

Apparently big endian glibc builds just work, if we let the endian
header allow that (which prev was #error).

The current ARC glibc version in buildroot arc-2019.09-rc1 already
contains that fix.

This is not going to work well with your PATCH 3/3 (on which I have
comments). Indeed, BR2_arc=y does not necessarily imply that we want to
use the ARC-specific binutils version.

You can however use ifeq ($(BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_ARC),y) instead.

Best regards,

Thomas

[PATCH v2] binutils/ARC: cleanup

[Vineet Gupta]

Remove special handling for ARC - as it is not needed for cksy etc.

A nice side benefit is that the ARC specific version now only needs to
be specified in single place (vs 3 currently) in binutils/Config.in.host

In fact, I was wrong, this also does not work, in the following
situation:

 - You're using a pre-compiled external toolchain, so host-binutils is
   not selected/enabled, so the version selection in
   package/binutils/Config.in.host is not used, and therefore
   BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_ARC cannot be set to 'y'.

 - You have binutils enabled for the target.

Then, with your patch, we will no longer select the ARC-specific fork
of binutils.

Basically, for the target binutils (just like for target gdb), we don't
have any version selection, so we force using one specific version
depending on the architecture.

Best regards,

Thomas

Does that mean that other arch in that file (csky) with custom github location is
affected with the issue you mentioned above ?

Looks like we need this specific thunk anyways. When I select pristine upstream
binutils (not ARC fork @ github), the above forces it to download from github
which it should not and will not if the tag/branch has not been mirrored there.

Hello Vineet,

So I guess you're talking about the situation where a host-binutils is
not enabled, and only a target binutils is used. In this case, indeed:

ifeq ($(BINUTILS_VERSION),)
ifeq ($(BR2_arc),y)
BINUTILS_VERSION = arc-2020.03-release
else
BINUTILS_VERSION = 2.33.1
endif
endif # BINUTILS_VERSION

will kick in and set BINUTILS_VERSION to arc-2020.03-release, which
will lead to:

ifeq ($(BINUTILS_VERSION),arc-2020.03-release)
BINUTILS_SITE = $(call github,foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors,binutils-gdb,$(BINUTILS_VERSION))
BINUTILS_SOURCE = binutils-gdb-$(BINUTILS_VERSION).tar.gz
BINUTILS_FROM_GIT = y
endif

being taken into account.

What happens with target binutils is:

 (1) If a host-binutils is built (because Buildroot is building the
     toolchain), then we're using the same version as the
     host-binutils, which is defined by the choice in
     package/binutils/Config.in.host.

 (2) If not host-binutils is built (because we're using an external
     toolchain), then there is no version selection: we unconditionally
     use 2.33.1, except on ARC where we use the special ARC fork.

So I guess the decision to take is: do we want to switch to using the
upstream binutils, even for ARC, when no host-binutils is built ?

Best regards,

Thomas

No sorry, I was not. I was trying to build a host binutils off upstream 2.34 and
must have some local change to make it download 2.34 off of github ARC fork. I
can't reproduce it now.

The use of a single release string to decide where to download off of seems a bit
fragile. But given we are moving away from fork gradually it seems OK.

I suppose so. upstream binutils is perhaps an odd commit or two behind the fork,
if at all.
I'll pester Alexey to just ditch binutils fork for upstream buildroot.

[PATCH 3/3] toolchain/ARC: Enable ability to build with upstream gcc/binutils

[Vineet Gupta]

While ARC upstream gcc/binutils work, they are still trailing behind
the more up to date code at github. To help expedite this gap, we want
to test the upstreeam versiosn more often, hence this patch. It allows
ARC tools to be built of upstream gcc/binutils.

That's not how we want to handle this.

For binutils, you can already select any upstream version, or the ARC
specific version on ARC. So there is nothing to change here: you can
already select either upstream or ARC-specific.

Ditto for gcc, you can already chose any upstream gcc version >= 7.x
for ARC, or the ARC-specific version.

So, I don't understand what your patch brings: what you describe in
your commit log is already possible today.

The following defconfig is already possible with Buildroot today:

BR2_arcle=y
BR2_archs38=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_GLIBC=y
BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_2_33_X=y
BR2_GCC_VERSION_9_X=y

It builds an ARC HS38 glibc toolchain with upstream gcc 9.x and
upstream binutils 2.33.

Best regards,

Thomas
