ARM: pass -marm to gcc by default for both C and assembler
The Linaro cross toolchain and probably others nowadays default to building in THUMB2 mode. When building a kernel for a CPU that does not support THUMB2, the compiler complains about incorrect flags. We can work around this by setting -marm for all non-T2 builds. -marm was passed unconditionally for C files previously, but nothing was passed to the gcc frontend when processing .S files, resulting in a warning. The assembler never defaults to ARM unless -Wa,-mthumb is supplied explicitly, so the files were still assembled correctly. This patch makes sure that -marm is passed for .S files too, and also avoids the redundant gcc -marm -mthumb in Thumb kernels. Without this patch, building assabet_defconfig results in: usr/initramfs_data.S:1:0: warning: target CPU does not support THUMB instructions [enabled by default] arch/arm/nwfpe/entry.S:1:0: warning: target CPU does not support THUMB instructions [enabled by default] firmware/cis/PCMLM28.cis.gen.S:1:0: warning: target CPU does not support THUMB instructions [enabled by default] (and many more) Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Acked-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org> Cc: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
