Make processes the directives in the order listed in the makefile, which means that a variable final value results from its last assignment. > CPU_V7 selects > CPU_32v7 and we're using that config to select -march=armv7-a in > the Makefile.

Right, but look at how the V6K stuff is handled: arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=6 $(call cc-option,-march=armv6,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6) # Only override the compiler option if ARMv6. The ARMv6K extensions are # always available in ARMv7 ifeq ($(CONFIG_CPU_32v6),y) arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6K) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=6 $(call cc-option,-march=armv6k,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6k) endif We'd need to do something similar for v7VE as well. As we're getting more of this, I'd suggest we move to: arch-v7a-y =$(call cc-option,-march=armv7-a,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv7-a) arch-v7a-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v7VE) =... whatever it was... arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v7) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=7 $(arch-v7a-y) arch-v6-y =$(call cc-option,-march=armv6,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6) arch-v6-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6K) =$(call cc-option,-march=armv6k,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6k) arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=6 $(arch-v6-y) > My understanding is that we want to support CPU_V7VE without > CPU_V7 enabled so that it uses the idiv instructions in that > configuration.

Let me have another look at this, it's been a while since I touched these options... -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
