| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BCM2835 (used on Raspberry Pi) and BCM2836 (used on Raspberry Pi 2) are similar enough. One of the biggest differences is the ARM processor.

* | ARM: move -march=* and -mtune= options to arch/arm/MakefileMasahiro Yamada2015-03-27-9/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My main motivations for this commit are: [1] Follow the arch/arm/Makefile style of Linux Kernel [2] Maintain compiler options systematically Currently, we give -march=* and -mtune=* options inconsistently: Only some of the CPUs pass -march=* and -mtune=* options. By collecting such options into the single place arch/arm/Makefile we can tell which options are missing at a glance. [3] Prepare for deprecating arch/*/cpu/*/config.mk Note: This commit just moves the compiler options so as not to change the behavior at all. It does not care about the correctness of the given options. Fox example, "-march=armv5te" might be better than "-march=armv4" for ARM946EJS, but it is beyond the scope this commit. Also, filling the missing -march=* and -tune=* is left to follow-up patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The BCM2835 SoC contains (at least) two CPUs; the VideoCore (a/k/a "GPU") and the ARM CPU. The ARM CPU is often thought of as the main CPU. However, the VideoCore actually controls the initial SoC boot, and hides much of the hardware behind a protocol. This protocol is transported using the SoC's mailbox hardware module.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc. which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures (especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc. This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely reducing the number of "execve" system calls. Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS" (Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as: -> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board> -> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l Before: After: Reduction: ================================== P2020DS 20555 15205 -26% qong 31692 14490 -54% As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by 30...50%.
