ARM: 8833/1: Ensure that NEON code always compiles with Clang
[ Upstream commit de9c0d49d85dc563549972edc5589d195cd5e859 ]
While building arm32 allyesconfig, I ran into the following errors:
arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c:17:2: error: You should compile this file with
'-mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon'
In file included from lib/raid6/neon1.c:27:
/home/nathan/cbl/prebuilt/lib/clang/8.0.0/include/arm_neon.h:28:2:
error: "NEON support not enabled"
Building V=1 showed NEON_FLAGS getting passed along to Clang but
__ARM_NEON__ was not getting defined. Ultimately, it boils down to Clang
only defining __ARM_NEON__ when targeting armv7, rather than armv6k,
which is the '-march' value for allyesconfig.
>From lib/Basic/Targets/ARM.cpp in the Clang source:
// This only gets set when Neon instructions are actually available, unlike
// the VFP define, hence the soft float and arch check. This is subtly
// different from gcc, we follow the intent which was that it should be set
// when Neon instructions are actually available.
if ((FPU & NeonFPU) && !SoftFloat && ArchVersion >= 7) {
Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON", "1");
Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON__");
// current AArch32 NEON implementations do not support double-precision
// floating-point even when it is present in VFP.
Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON_FP",
"0x" + Twine::utohexstr(HW_FP & ~HW_FP_DP));
}
Ard Biesheuvel recommended explicitly adding '-march=armv7-a' at the
beginning of the NEON_FLAGS definitions so that __ARM_NEON__ always gets
definined by Clang. This doesn't functionally change anything because
that code will only run where NEON is supported, which is implicitly
armv7.
