The U-Boot port runs on a variety of RPi models, not just the B. So, rename the port to something slightly more generic. Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Tested-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

The biggest problem when trying to compile U-boot with clang is that
|
|
almost all archs rely on storing gd in a global register and clang user
|
|
manual states: "clang does not support global register variables; this
|
|
is unlikely to be implemented soon because it requires additional LLVM
|
|
backend support."
|
|
|
|
Since version 3.4 the ARM backend can be instructed to leave r9 alone.
|
|
Global registers themselves are not supported so some inline assembly is
|
|
used to get its value. This does lead to larger code then strictly
|
|
necessary, but at least works.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: target compilation only work for _some_ ARM boards at the moment.
|
|
Also Aarch64 is not supported: Most notably boards which aren't using
|
|
the generic board will fail to compile, but since those are expected
|
|
to be converted this will solve itself. Boards which reassign gd in c
|
|
will also fail to compile, but there is in no strict reason to do so
|
|
in the ARM world, since crt0.S takes care of this. These assignments
|
|
can be avoided by changing the init calls but this is not in mainline yet.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: without the -mllvm -arm-use-movt=0 flags u-boot will compile
|
|
fine, but llvm might hardcode addresses in movw / movt pairs, which
|
|
cannot be relocated and u-boot will fail at runtime.

Debian (based)
|
|
--------------
|
|
Binary packages can be installed as usual, e.g.:
|
|
sudo apt-get install clang
|
|
|
|
To compile U-Boot with clang on linux without IAS use e.g.:
|
|
export TRIPLET=arm-linux-gnueabi && export CROSS_COMPILE="$TRIPLET-"
|
|
make HOSTCC=clang CC="clang -target $TRIPLET -mllvm -arm-use-movt=0 -no-integrated-as" rpi_defconfig
|
|
make HOSTCC=clang CC="clang -target $TRIPLET -mllvm -arm-use-movt=0 -no-integrated-as" all V=1 -j8
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD 11 (Current):
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Since llvm 3.4 is currently in the base system, the integrated as is
|
|
incapable of building U-Boot. Therefore gas from devel/arm-gnueabi-binutils
|
|
is used instead. It needs a symlinks to be picked up correctly though:
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/local/bin/arm-gnueabi-freebsd-as /usr/bin/arm-freebsd-eabi-as
|
|
|
|
# The following commands compile U-Boot using the clang xdev toolchain.
|
|
# NOTE: CROSS_COMPILE and target differ on purpose!
|
|
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-gnueabi-freebsd-
|
|
gmake CC="clang -target arm-freebsd-eabi --sysroot /usr/arm-freebsd -no-integrated-as -mllvm -arm-use-movt=0" rpi_defconfig
|
|
gmake CC="clang -target arm-freebsd-eabi --sysroot /usr/arm-freebsd -no-integrated-as -mllvm -arm-use-movt=0" -j8
|
|
|
|
Given that u-boot will default to gcc, above commands can be
|
|
simplified with a simple wrapper script, listed below.
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin/arm-gnueabi-freebsd-gcc
|
|
---
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
exec clang -target arm-freebsd-eabi --sysroot /usr/arm-freebsd -no-integrated-as -mllvm -arm-use-movt=0 "$@"
