957a986214 arch/Config.in: introduce BR2_KERNEL_64_USERLAND_32 symbol
On some architectures one can be running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit
userland. Such is the case for sparc64 (unsupported) for example and
mips64 with n32 ABI.

Some tools that interface directly with the kernel need to be built
specially for this, so introduce this symbol to tweak their build in
one central kludge to be future-proof.

Example: bug #6602.

2b5650cf7f targets: move target options to their own sub-menu

830205c036 nios2: Add new architecture
This commit adds very basic support to build for the Nios II
architecture. Toolchain support is still missing and instead
we need to use an external custom toolchain.

Notice that this architecture had been previously removed in
Buildroot 2010.05-rc1 release (as explained in the CHANGES file)
and this commit adds it back.

85d0769ac5 arch/arm: add support for Thumb2
Until now, we were using the default ARM instruction set, as used by
the toolchain: the 32 bits ARM instruction set for the internal
backend, and for external toolchain, whatever default was chosen when
the toolchain was generated.

This commit adds support for the Thumb2 instruction set. To do so, it:

 * provides a menuconfig choice between ARM and Thumb2. The choice is
   only shown when Thumb2 is supported, i.e on ARMv7-A CPUs.

 * passes the --with-mode={arm,thumb} option when building gcc in the
   internal backend. This tells the compiler which type of
   instructions it should generate.

 * passes the m{arm,thumb} option in the external toolchain
   wrapper. ARM and Thumb2 code can freely be mixed together, so the
   fact that the C library has been built either ARM or Thumb2 and
   that the rest of the code is built Thumb2 or ARM is not a problem.

5f959a1c61 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.

9b3e72b4fd arch: Refactor BR2_SOFT_FLOAT into per-architecture options
As we are going to introduced a more advanced support of floating
point options for the ARM architecture, we need to adjust how the
soft-float option is handled. We replace the current hidden option
BR2_PREFER_SOFT_FLOAT option and the visible BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option by:

 * A global hidden BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option, defined in arch/Config.in,
   that tells whether the architecture-specific code is using software
   emulated floating point. This hidden option can be used throughout
   Buildroot to determine whether soft float is used or not.

 * Per-architecture visible BR2_<arch>_SOFT_FLOAT options, for the
   architecture for which it makes sense, which allows users to select
   soft float emulation when needed.

This change will allow each architecture to have a different way of
presenting its floating point capabilities.

d774551787 arch: introduce BR2_GCC_TARGET_{FPU, FLOAT_ABI}
Buildroot already has the BR2_GCC_TARGET_{TUNE,ARCH,ABI,CPU} hidden
kconfig strings that allow per-architecture Config.in files to feed
the appropriate values of --with-{tune,arch,abi-cpu} when building
gcc, or the appropriate flags for the external toolchain wrapper.

This commit has two additional options:
BR2_GCC_TARGET_{FPU,FLOAT_ABI}, that allows to define the
--with-{fpu,float} gcc configure options for the internal backend, or
the -m{fpu,float-abi} options for the flags of the external toolchain
wrapper.

OABI is more than legacy, it's dead.

New developments should go with EABI, since it so much better.
>From the Debian EABI page [0] :
  - floating point performance, with or without an FPU is very much faster
  - mixing soft and hardfloat code is possible
  - structure packing is not as painful as it used to be

  - more compatibility with various tools

Xtensa is a configurable processor architecture, which allows to define
additional instructions and registers. The required variant specific

needs to be 'untarred' to the corresponding directories after the

This patch provides support for binutils, gcc, and gdb with a very
limited changes to the build scripts. These additions are only executed
for the Xtensa architecture and have no effect on other architectures.

44c04a2b4a arch: improve definition of gcc mtune, mcpu, etc.
As suggested by Yann E. Morin, there is a better way than our current
big Config.in.common to define the gcc mtune, mcpu, march,
etc. values. We can split the setting of those values in each
architecture file, which makes a lot more sense.

Therefore, the Config.in file now creates empty kconfig variables
BR2_ARCH, BR2_ENDIAN, BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE, BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH,
BR2_GCC_TARGET_ABI and BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU. The values of those
variables are set by the individual Config.in.<arch> files. This is
possible because such files are now only conditionally included
depending on the top-level architecture that has been selected.
