[PATCH v4] MIPS: introduce config option to force use FR=0 for FPXX binary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



some binary, for example the output of golang, may be mark as FPXX,
while in fact they are still FP32.

Since FPXX binary can work with both FR=1 and FR=0, we introduce a
config option CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FPXX_USE_FR0 to force it to use FR=0 here.

https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/237058

v3->v4:
	introduce a config option: CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FPXX_USE_FR0

v2->v3:
	commit message: add Signed-off-by and Cc to stable.

v1->v2:
	Fix bad commit message: in fact, we are switching to FR=0
