Subject: [RFC 0/5] xtensa: support dynamic configuration
Date: Mon, 22 May 2017 21:09:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1495487362-18969-1-git-send-email-jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Sterling,
this is an RFC series that makes xtensa gcc dynamically configurable,
i.e. on a platform with shared library support single toolchain binary
becomes capable of building code for arbitrary xtensa configuration.
At the same time it fully preserves the traditional way of configuring
using xtensa configuration overlay.
Currently xtensa toolchain needs to be patched and rebuilt for every
new xtensa processor configuration. This has a number of downsides:
- toolchain builders need to change the toolchain source code, and
because xtensa configuration overlay is not a patch, this change is
special, embedding it into the toolchain build process gets
backpressure.
- toolchain built for one configuration is usually not usable for any
other configuration. It's not possible for a distribution to provide
reusable prebuilt xtensa toolchain.
This series allows building the toolchain (including target libraries)
without its source code modification. Built toolchain takes configuration
parameters from the shared object specified in the environment variable.
That shared object may be built by the following project:
https://github.com/jcmvbkbc/xtensa-dynconfig
The same shared object is used for gcc, all binutils and for gdb.
Xtensa core specific information needed to build that shared object is
taken from the configuration overlay.
Both gcc and binutils-gdb get new shared header file
include/xtensa-dynconfig.h that provides definition of configuration
data structure, initialization macros, redefines XCHAL_* macros to
access this structure and declares function for loading configuration
dynamically.

gcc: xtensa: allow XCHAL_* macros to be non-constant
gcc: xtensa: make configuration dynamic
gcc: xtensa: support dynconfig on windows
gcc: xtensa: add __XCHAL_* builtins
libgcc: xtensa: use built-in configuration
