MIPS: build status (2010.01)

Hi,

here's a build summary of the latest git with GCC 4.4.1:

$ ./MAKEALL mips mips_el

--------------------- SUMMARY ---------------------------- Boards compiled: 23
Boards with warnings or errors: 11 ( qemu_mips vct_platinum_onenand vct_platinum_onenand_small vct_platinumavc_onenand vct_platinumavc_onenand_small vct_premium_onenand vct_premium_onenand_small dbau1000 dbau1100 dbau1500 gth2 )
----------------------------------------------------------

Build warnings / errors could be categorized into five groups:

1) zlib.c: missing <asm/unaligned.h> build error
2) lib_mips/board.c: undefined reference to `getenv_IPaddr' build error
3) env_onenand.c: CONFIG_ENV_{ADDR,SIZE}_FLEX undeclared build error
4) cmd_ide.c: dbuf strict-aliasing warning
5) dlmalloc.c: strict-aliasing warning

I'll post two patches to fix #1 and #2. As for #3, I'll reply to this mail with build logs to remind appropriate people of these issues.

Per #4, it would be better to upgrade the byteorder/swab headers first, rather than fixing occasional strict-aliasing reports. Since they are only reported by GCC 4.4, I'd like to leave this issue as-is for now.

With regard to #5, I've checked the mail archives and found that this is one of the known issues, I will ignore it.

with a few adjustments for U-Boot. This fixes the following build error:

1.6.6

In the commit 6ac59c55 (net: pull CONFIG checks out of source and into makefile), net/net.o is changed to be built-in only when CONFIG_CMD_NET is enabled, while lib_mips/board.c has a reference to "getenv_IPaddr() left as-is.

And now Micronas VCT Platinum AVC board builds (vct_platinumavc*_config) failed as follows, because they don't have ethernet support and disable CONFIG_CMD_NET option:

lib_mips/libmips.a(board.o): In function `board_init_r':
board.c:(.text+0x2e4): undefined reference to `getenv_IPaddr'
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

VCT Platinum AVC is the only MIPS target who doesn't have CONFIG_CMD_NET and suffer from this issue at this moment.

Note that arm/avr32/i386/m68k/nios/nios2/ppc/sparc have the same issue, while blackfin/microblaze/sh don't.

1.6.6

Hi Rohit, Amul, and Kyungmin (Samsung people),

In the following commit, Flex-OneNAND support was introduced:

commit c758e947aa7d39a2be607ecdedd818ad300807b2

Author: Amul Kumar Saha <[email protected]>
Date:   Wed Nov 4 10:38:46 2009 +0530

ENV Variable support for Flex-OneNAND

Define and use CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_FLEX and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_FLEX for storing environment variables.

However, it breaks the existing 'normal' OneNAND user's builds like this:

LOG/vct_platinum_onenand.ERR
-----------------------------
env_onenand.c: In function 'env_relocate_spec':
env_onenand.c:70: error: 'CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_FLEX' undeclared (first use in this function) env_onenand.c:70: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once env_onenand.c:70: error: for each function it appears in.)
env_onenand.c: In function 'saveenv':
env_onenand.c:106: error: 'CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_FLEX' undeclared (first use in this function) env_onenand.c:107: error: 'CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_FLEX' undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [env_onenand.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [common/libcommon.a] Error 2

Affected (MIPS) targets:
- MIPS Micronas VCT Premium/Platinum/Platinum AVC (vct_*_onenand_config).
- I'm not sure about other OneNAND users in mainline.

Having a look at the code, and from CONFIG_ENV_{ADDR,SIZE}_FLEX names, they're apparently Flex-OneNAND specific configurations, right? If so 'normal' OneNAND users don't want to have, I'm afraid.

Any comments on how, and where supposed to be fixed?

And I missed that this one will be fixed soon in a different way. Please ignore this patch, thanks.
