    powerpc/32: Avoid unsupported flags with clang · 72e7bcc2
    Joel Stanley authored
    When building for ppc32 with clang these flags are unsupported:
    
      -ffixed-r2 and -mmultiple
    
    llvm's lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCRegisterInfo.cpp marks r2 as reserved on
    when building for SVR4ABI and !ppc64:
    
      // The SVR4 ABI reserves r2 and r13
      if (Subtarget.isSVR4ABI()) {
        // We only reserve r2 if we need to use the TOC pointer. If we have no
        // explicit uses of the TOC pointer (meaning we're a leaf function with
        // no constant-pool loads, etc.) and we have no potential uses inside an
        // inline asm block, then we can treat r2 has an ordinary callee-saved
        // register.
        const PPCFunctionInfo *FuncInfo = MF.getInfo<PPCFunctionInfo>();
        if (!TM.isPPC64() || FuncInfo->usesTOCBasePtr() || MF.hasInlineAsm())
          markSuperRegs(Reserved, PPC::R2);  // System-reserved register
        markSuperRegs(Reserved, PPC::R13); // Small Data Area pointer register
      }
    
    This means we can safely omit -ffixed-r2 when building for 32-bit
    targets.
    
    The -mmultiple/-mno-multiple flags are not supported by clang, so
    platforms that might support multiple miss out on using multiple word
    instructions.
    
    We wrap these flags in cc-option so that when Clang gains support the
    kernel will be able use these flags.
    
    Clang 8 can then build a ppc44x_defconfig which boots in Qemu:
    
      make CC=clang-8 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu-  ppc44x_defconfig
      ./scripts/config -e CONFIG_DEVTMPFS -d DEVTMPFS_MOUNT
      make CC=clang-8 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu-
    
      qemu-system-ppc -M bamboo \
       -kernel arch/powerpc/boot/zImage \
       -dtb arch/powerpc/boot/dts/bamboo.dtb \
       -initrd ~/ppc32-440-rootfs.cpio \
       -nographic -serial stdio -monitor pty -append "console=ttyS0"
