From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bfb03af71a3798b5a88a945a9c19ad67e1c4986d upstream. Jan-Benedict reported issue with building ppc64e_defconfig with mainline GCC work: powerpc64-linux-gcc -Wp,-MMD,arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/.gettimeofday-64.o.d -nostdinc -I./arch/powerpc/include -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated -I./include -I./arch/powerpc/include/uapi -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -D__KERNEL__ -I ./arch/powerpc -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 -fmacro-prefix-map=./= -D__ASSEMBLY__ -fno-PIE -m64 -Wl,-a64 -mabi=elfv1 -Wa,-me500 -Wa,-me500mc -mabi=elfv1 -mbig-endian -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso64.so.1 -D__VDSO64__ -s -c -o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-64.o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S: Assembler messages: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:72: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stdu' arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:72: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stdu' arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:72: Error: unrecognized opcode: `std' arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:72: Error: unrecognized opcode: `std' arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:72: Error: unrecognized opcode: `ld' arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:72: Error: unrecognized opcode: `ld' ... make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:76: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-64.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/powerpc/Makefile:387: vdso_prepare] Error 2 This is due to assembler being called with -me500mc which is a 32 bits target. The problem comes from the fact that CONFIG_PPC_E500MC is selected for both the e500mc (32 bits) and the e5500 (64 bits), and therefore the following makefile rule is wrong: cpu-as-$(CONFIG_PPC_E500MC) += $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-me500mc) Today we have CONFIG_TARGET_CPU which provides the identification of the expected CPU, it is used for GCC. Once GCC knows the target CPU, it adds the correct CPU option to assembler, no need to add it explicitly. With that change (And also commit 45f7091aac35 ("powerpc/64: Set default CPU in Kconfig")), it now is: powerpc64-linux-gcc -Wp,-MMD,arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/.gettimeofday-64.o.d -nostdinc -I./arch/powerpc/include -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated -I./include -I./arch/powerpc/include/uapi -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -D__KERNEL__ -I ./arch/powerpc -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 -fmacro-prefix-map=./= -D__ASSEMBLY__ -fno-PIE -m64 -Wl,-a64 -mabi=elfv1 -mcpu=e500mc64 -mabi=elfv1 -mbig-endian -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso64.so.1 -D__VDSO64__ -s -c -o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-64.o arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S Reported-by: Jan-Benedict Glaw <jbglaw@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Pali Rohár <pali@xxxxxxxxxx> [mpe: Retain -Wa,-mpower4 -Wa,-many for Book3S 64 builds for now] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/758ad54128fa9dd2fdedc4c511592111cbded900.1671475543.git.christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/Makefile | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) --- a/arch/powerpc/Makefile +++ b/arch/powerpc/Makefile @@ -201,10 +201,7 @@ KBUILD_CFLAGS += -fno-asynchronous-unwin # often slow when they are implemented at all KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-mno-string) -cpu-as-$(CONFIG_40x) += -Wa,-m405 -cpu-as-$(CONFIG_44x) += -Wa,-m440 cpu-as-$(CONFIG_ALTIVEC) += $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-maltivec) -cpu-as-$(CONFIG_PPC_E500) += -Wa,-me500 # When using '-many -mpower4' gas will first try and find a matching power4 # mnemonic and failing that it will allow any valid mnemonic that GAS knows @@ -212,7 +209,6 @@ cpu-as-$(CONFIG_PPC_E500) += -Wa,-me500 # LLVM IAS doesn't understand either flag: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/675 # but LLVM IAS only supports ISA >= 2.06 for Book3S 64 anyway... cpu-as-$(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64) += $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-mpower4) $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-many) -cpu-as-$(CONFIG_PPC_E500MC) += $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-me500mc) KBUILD_AFLAGS += $(cpu-as-y) KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(cpu-as-y)
