arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf This commit introduces the support for the EABIhf ABI, next to the existing support we have for EABI and OABI (even though OABI support is deprecated). EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI. In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the floating point support: * Software floating point * VFP * VFPv3 * VFPv3-D16 * VFPv4 * VFPv4-D16 and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig logic tries to achieve the following goals: * Hide options that are definitely not possible. * Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating point on these cores).. * Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5 and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options). It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2, fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16, vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the new organization of the Config.in options.

arch/arm: do not distinguish revisions of ARM1136JF-S In commit 88cf3bb91792c9c04586e14f293d89a6e0c13e1d ("arch/Config.in.arm: Use armv6k for arm1136jf-s rev1"), Benoît Thébaudeau added separate options for the revision 0 and revision 1 of the ARM1136JF-S processor, so that different -march values could be used (armv6j for revision 0, armv6k for revision 1). However, this is preventing the removal of the BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH option, which we need to do to give only the CPU type to gcc, and let it decide the architecture variant that matches. This is because this story of revision 0 vs. revision 1 is the only case where -mcpu doesn't fully define the CPU. Moreover, a quick test with gcc shows that -march=armv6j -mcpu=arm1136jf-s is accepted, while -march=armv6k -mcpu=arm1136jf-s makes gcc complain: " warning: switch -mcpu=arm1136jf-s conflicts with -march=armv6k switch". In addition, gcc 5 will apparently no longer allow to pass all of --with-arch, --with-cpu and --with-tune, so we will anyway have to rely only on one of them. As a consequence, this commit basically reverts 88cf3bb91792c9c04586e14f293d89a6e0c13e1d and provides only one option for ARM1136JF-S. If the two revisions are really different, then they should be supported in upstream gcc with different -mcpu values. Note that the removal of the two options should not break existing full .config, since the hidden option BR2_arm1136jf_s becomes again a visible option to select the CPU.

In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the floating point support: * Software floating point * VFP * VFPv3 * VFPv3-D16 * VFPv4 * VFPv4-D16 and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig logic tries to achieve the following goals: * Hide options that are definitely not possible. * Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating point on these cores).. * Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5 and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options). It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2, fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16, vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the new organization of the Config.in options.

It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2, fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16, vfpv4-sp-d16.

The EABI is currently the standard ARM ABI, which is used in
most projects. It supports both the 'soft' floating point
model (in which floating point instructions are emulated in
software) and the 'softfp' floating point model (in which
floating point instructions are executed using an hardware
floating point unit, but floating point arguments to
functions are passed in integer registers).

arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf This commit introduces the support for the EABIhf ABI, next to the existing support we have for EABI and OABI (even though OABI support is deprecated). EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI. In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the floating point support: * Software floating point * VFP * VFPv3 * VFPv3-D16 * VFPv4 * VFPv4-D16 and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig logic tries to achieve the following goals: * Hide options that are definitely not possible. * Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating point on these cores).. * Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5 and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).

However, passing the floating point arguments in integer
registers is a bit inefficient, so if your ARM processor has
a floating point unit, and you don't have pre-compiled
'soft' or 'softfp' code, using the EABIhf ABI will provide
better floating point performances.
If your processor does not have a floating point unit, then
you must use this ABI.

The EABIhf is an extension of EABI which supports the 'hard'
floating point model. This model uses the floating point
unit to execute floating point instructions, and passes
floating point arguments in floating point registers.
It is more efficient than EABI for floating point related
workload. However, it does not allow to link against code
that has been pre-built for the 'soft' or 'softfp' floating
point models.
If your processor has a floating point unit, and you don't
depend on existing pre-compiled code, this option is most
likely the best choice.

EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI. In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the floating point support: * Software floating point * VFP * VFPv3 * VFPv3-D16 * VFPv4 * VFPv4-D16 and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig logic tries to achieve the following goals: * Hide options that are definitely not possible. * Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating point on these cores).. * Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5 and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options). It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2, fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16, vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the new organization of the Config.in options.

This option allows to use both the VFPv4 and the NEON SIMD
units for floating point operations. Note that some ARMv7
cores do not necessarily have VFPv4 and/or NEON support, for
example on Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A7, support for VFPv4 and
NEON is optional.
