uImage boot wrapper should not use SPE instructions, like kernel itself.
Boot wrapper has already disabled Altivec and VSX instructions but not SPE.
Options -mno-spe and -mspe=no already set when compilation of kernel, but
not when compiling uImage wrapper yet. Fix it.

At the time being, we use CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN and
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to pass -mabi=elfv1 or elfv2 to
compiler, then define a PPC64_ELF_ABI_v1 or PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2
macro in asm/types.h based on _CALL_ELF define set by the compiler.

Make it more straight forward with a CONFIG option that
is directly usable.

<title>powerpc/boot: Build wrapper for an appropriate CPU</title>

<id>urn:sha1:40a75584e526cc489234dac0897cd599e6013483</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the boot wrapper lacks a -mcpu option, so it will be built for
the toolchain's default cpu. This is a problem if the toolchain defaults
to a cpu with newer instructions.

We could wire in TARGET_CPU but instead use the oldest supported option
so the wrapper runs anywhere.

The GCC documentation stays that -mcpu=powerpc64le will give us a
generic 64 bit powerpc machine:

 -mcpu=powerpc, -mcpu=powerpc64, and -mcpu=powerpc64le specify pure
 32-bit PowerPC (either endian), 64-bit big endian PowerPC and 64-bit
 little endian PowerPC architecture machine types, with an appropriate,
 generic processor model assumed for scheduling purposes.

So do that for each of the three machines.

This bug was found when building the kernel with a toolchain that
defaulted to powre10, resulting in a pcrel enabled wrapper which fails
to link:

 arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper.a(crt0.o): in function `p_base':
 (.text+0x150): call to `platform_init' lacks nop, can't restore toc; (toc save/adjust stub)
 (.text+0x154): call to `start' lacks nop, can't restore toc; (toc save/adjust stub)
 powerpc64le-buildroot-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: bad value

Even with tha bug worked around the resulting kernel would crash on a
power9 box:

<title>kbuild: do not quote string values in include/config/auto.conf</title>

<id>urn:sha1:129ab0d2d9f38b9d43df35235fc66c6740d6928b</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous commit fixed up all shell scripts to not include
include/config/auto.conf.

Now that include/config/auto.conf is only included by Makefiles,
we can change it into a more Make-friendly form.

Previously, Kconfig output string values enclosed with double-quotes
(both in the .config and include/config/auto.conf):

    CONFIG_X="foo bar"

Unlike shell, Make handles double-quotes (and single-quotes as well)
verbatim. We must rip them off when used.

There are some patterns:

  [1] $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_X))
  [2] $(CONFIG_X:"%"=%)
  [3] $(subst ",,$(CONFIG_X))
  [4] $(shell echo $(CONFIG_X))

These are not only ugly, but also fragile.

[1] and [2] do not work if the value contains spaces, like
   CONFIG_X=" foo bar "

[3] does not work correctly if the value contains double-quotes like
   CONFIG_X="foo\"bar"

[4] seems to work better, but has a cost of forking a process.

Anyway, quoted strings were always PITA for our Makefiles.

This commit changes Kconfig to stop quoting in include/config/auto.conf.

These are the string type symbols referenced in Makefiles or scripts:

    ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
    ARC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME
    ARC_TUNE_MCPU
    BUILTIN_DTB_SOURCE
    CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH
    CC_VERSION_TEXT
    CFG80211_EXTRA_REGDB_KEYDIR
    EXTRA_FIRMWARE
    EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR
    EXTRA_TARGETS
    H8300_BUILTIN_DTB
    INITRAMFS_SOURCE
    LOCALVERSION
    MODULE_SIG_HASH
    MODULE_SIG_KEY
    NDS32_BUILTIN_DTB
    NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE
    OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB
    SOC_CANAAN_K210_DTB_SOURCE
    SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST
    SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS
    SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS
    TARGET_CPU
    UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST
    XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_FAMILY
    XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_HW_VER
    XTENSA_VARIANT_NAME

I checked them one by one, and fixed up the code where necessary.

used to compile support for other platforms such as Microwatt. There
is no need for OPAL calls on these.

Stephen reported that the build was broken since commit
6d2ef226f2f1 ("compiler_attributes.h: drop __has_attribute() support for
gcc4"), with errors such as:

  include/linux/compiler_attributes.h:296:5: warning: "__has_attribute" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
    296 | #if __has_attribute(__warning__)
        |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:225: arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o] Error 1

But we expect __has_attribute() to always be defined now that we've
stopped using GCC 4.

Linus debugged it to the point of reading the GCC sources, and noticing
that the problem is that __has_attribute() is not defined when
preprocessing assembly files, which is what we're doing here.

Our assembly files don't include, or need, compiler_attributes.h, but
they are getting it unconditionally from the -include in BOOT_CFLAGS,
which is then added in its entirety to BOOT_AFLAGS.

That -include was added in commit 77433830ed16 ("powerpc: boot: include
compiler_attributes.h") so that we'd have "fallthrough" and other
attributes defined for the C files in arch/powerpc/boot. But it's not
needed for assembly files.

The minimal fix is to move the addition to BOOT_CFLAGS of -include
compiler_attributes.h until after we've copied BOOT_CFLAGS into
BOOT_AFLAGS. That avoids including compiler_attributes.h for asm files,
but makes no other change to BOOT_CFLAGS or BOOT_AFLAGS.

Merge the changes to retire the legacy WR sbc8548 and sbc8641 platforms
from Paul. These were sent as a pull request, but I rebased them onto
rc2 so as not to pull too many unrelated changes in to my next.

Description from Paul's pull request follows:

In v2.6.27 (2008, 917f0af9e5a9) the sbc8260 support was implicitly
retired by not being carried forward through the ppc --&gt; powerpc
device tree transition.

Then, in v3.6 (2012, b048b4e17cbb) we retired the support for the
sbc8560 boards.

Next, in v4.18 (2017, 3bc6cf5a86e5) we retired the support for the
2006 vintage sbc834x boards.

The sbc8548 and sbc8641d boards were maybe 1-2 years newer than the
sbc834x boards, but it is also 3+ years later, so it makes sense to
now retire them as well - which is what is done here.

These two remaining WR boards were based on the Freescale MPC8548-CDS
and the MPC8641D-HPCN reference board implementations.  Having had the
chance to use these and many other Fsl ref boards, I know this:  The
Freescale reference boards were typically produced in limited quantity
and primarily available to BSP developers and hardware designers, and
not likely to have found a 2nd life with hobbyists and/or collectors.

It was good to have that BSP code subjected to mainline review and
hence also widely available back in the day. But given the above, we
should probably also be giving serious consideration to retiring
additional similar age/type reference board platforms as well.

I've always felt it is important for us to be proactive in retiring
old code, since it has a genuine non-zero carrying cost, as described
in the 930d52c012b8 merge log.  But for the here and now, we just
clean up the remaining BSP code that I had added for SBC platforms.

The support was for this was mainlined 13 years ago, in v2.6.25
[0e0fffe88767] just around the ppc --&gt; powerpc migration.

I believe the board was introduced a year or two before that, so it
is roughly a 15 year old platform - with the CPU speed and memory size
that was typical for that era.

I haven't had one of these boards for several years, and availability
was discontinued several years before that.

Given that, there is no point in adding a burden to testing coverage
that builds all possible defconfigs, so it makes sense to remove it.

Of course it will remain in the git history forever, for anyone who
happens to find a functional board and wants to tinker with it.
