When vexpress kernel is compiled for v6, it still can support armv7 instructions (hardware still support), so need let compiler know about it for related inline assembly code, or compiling will fail. The related failure command: arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/arm/mach-vexpress/.dcscb.o.d -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.7/include -I/root/linux-next/arch/arm/include -Iarch/arm/include/generated -Iinclude -I/root/linux-next/arch/arm/include/uapi -Iarch/arm/include/generated/uapi -I/root/linux-next/include/uapi -Iinclude/generated/uapi -include /root/linux-next/include/linux/kconfig.h -D__KERNEL__ -mlittle-endian -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wno-format-security -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -Werror=implicit-int -Werror=strict-prototypes -Os -Wno-maybe-uninitialized -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mapcs -mno-sched-prolog -fstack-protector -mabi=aapcs-linux -mno-thumb-interwork -funwind-tables -marm -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=6 -march=armv6k -mtune=arm1136j-s -msoft-float -Uarm -fno-reorder-blocks -fno-ipa-cp-clone -fno-partial-inlining -Wframe-larger-than=1024 -Wno-unused-but-se t-variabl e -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -g -femit-struct-debug-baseonly -fno-var-tracking -pg -fno-inline-functions-called-once -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -fno-strict-overflow -fconserve-stack -DCC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO -I/root/linux-next/arch/arm/mach-vexpress/include -I/root/linux-next/arch/arm/plat-versatile/include -W -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=#s" -D"KBUILD_BASENAME=KBUILD_STR(dcscb)" -D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(dcscb)" -c -o arch/arm/mach-vexpress/.tmp_dcscb.o arch/arm/mach-vexpress/dcscb.c The related error: /tmp/ccOMIprI.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccOMIprI.s:507: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `isb ' /tmp/ccOMIprI.s:513: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `isb ' /tmp/ccOMIprI.s:514: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `dsb ' /tmp/ccOMIprI.s:584: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `isb ' /tmp/ccOMIprI.s:590: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `isb ' /tmp/ccOMIprI.s:591: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `dsb ' make[1]: *** [arch/arm/mach-vexpress/dcscb.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/arm/mach-vexpress] Error 2 Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/arm/mach-vexpress/Makefile | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-vexpress/Makefile b/arch/arm/mach-vexpress/Makefile index 36ea824..f224577 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-vexpress/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm/mach-vexpress/Makefile @@ -10,3 +10,6 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_VEXPRESS_DCSCB) += dcscb.o dcscb_setup.o obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_VEXPRESS_TC2_PM) += tc2_pm.o spc.o obj-$(CONFIG_SMP) += platsmp.o obj-$(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) += hotplug.o + +CFLAGS_dcscb.o +=-march=armv7-a +CFLAGS_tc2_pm.o +=-march=armv7-a -- 1.7.7.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
