This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: 9156/1: drop cc-option fallbacks for architecture selection to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm-9156-1-drop-cc-option-fallbacks-for-architecture-selection.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 418ace9992a7647c446ed3186df40cf165b67298 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 6 Nov 2021 19:42:29 +0100 Subject: ARM: 9156/1: drop cc-option fallbacks for architecture selection From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit 418ace9992a7647c446ed3186df40cf165b67298 upstream. Naresh and Antonio ran into a build failure with latest Debian armhf compilers, with lots of output like tmp/ccY3nOAs.s:2215: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode As it turns out, $(cc-option) fails early here when the FPU is not selected before CPU architecture is selected, as the compiler option check runs before enabling -msoft-float, which causes a problem when testing a target architecture level without an FPU: cc1: error: '-mfloat-abi=hard': selected architecture lacks an FPU Passing e.g. -march=armv6k+fp in place of -march=armv6k would avoid this issue, but the fallback logic is already broken because all supported compilers (gcc-5 and higher) are much more recent than these options, and building with -march=armv5t as a fallback no longer works. The best way forward that I see is to just remove all the checks, which also has the nice side-effect of slightly improving the startup time for 'make'. The -mtune=marvell-f option was apparently never supported by any mainline compiler, and the custom Codesourcery gcc build that did support is now too old to build kernels, so just use -mtune=xscale unconditionally for those. This should be safe to apply on all stable kernels, and will be required in order to keep building them with gcc-11 and higher.
