treewide: clean up architecture specific toolchain setup #15996

maribu · 2021-02-12T16:54:45Z

Contribution description

Architecture specific toolchain setup is done mostly in makefiles/arch/<ARCH>.inc.mk, except for ESP and ARM9. Those oddballs are changed to the common pattern for consistency.

Secondly, each CPU family included the architecture specific settings on its. However, as the architecture was is already known once the features are resolved, one can simple include $(RIOTMAKE)/arch/$(CPU_ARCH).inc.mk directly in $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.include.

Testing procedure

If the toolchains are not properly set up, Murdock will complain. In addition, it might make sense to pick one example application and board for each platform and confirm that binaries doesn't change.

Issues/PRs references

One step towards making #15993 possible without reordering the processing of Makefile.dep and Makefile.include.

This one looks good, there are just two changes I would put in different commits. This is a nice cleanup and I don't expect any impact since thee include still happens after the CPU one so any board/cpu specific configuration can still override the generic one.

Do you mind putting these changes in its own commit, they are not really related to the whole PR. And you can add the argument for doing this to the commit message.

Same for this one, can you add to a commit where you say "adding missing arch or something like that", or fix missing arch and you can ad comment on the := change in that commit as well.

With this we can avoid the empty files I believe.

maribu · 2021-02-16T12:55:16Z

Done. And a rebase seems to also be needed due to a merge conflict.

fjmolinas

ACK, lets see what the ci says.

fjmolinas · 2021-02-22T08:54:47Z

Sorry @maribu I forgot to check the ci result and now this one needs a rebase :(

This is where it is located for all other platforms, let's have this consistently.

Use xtensa-lx106 for the ES8266 and xtensa-lx6 for the ESP32, instead of xtensa for both. This is later needed to allow differentiating between those two for the toolchin selection.

Instead of having each CPU family including $(RIOTMAKE)/arch/<ARCH>.inc.mk, just include $(RIOTMAKE)/arch/$(CPU_ARCH).inc.mk at Makefile.include

Simple expansion is recommended by official documentation [1] for a multitude of reasons over recursive expansion, of which predictable behavior (and, thus, maintainability of Makefiles) and performance are the biggest arguments. [1]: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Flavors.html

maribu · 2021-02-22T11:08:59Z

Strange, git was able to auto-merge locally during rebase.

looks like mips is missing

maribu · 2021-02-22T14:25:24Z

looks like mips is missing

No, it worked fine prior to the XFA merge. The issue seems to be that the order of linker flags is slightly different with this PR for MIPS. All other arch but MIPS include makefiles/arch/$(CPU_ARCH).inc.mk at the end of cpu/$(CPU)/Makefile.include. In MIPS, it is included at the top of that file. Apparently, order didn't matte before, but with XFA it does now.

I will investigate this later. I believe there is some value in having the toolchain, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS setup as consistent as possible between all archs, as this eases refactoring and maintaining stuff.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. If you want me to ignore this issue, please mark it with the "State: don't stale" label. Thank you for your contributions.

@maribu, ping :)

maribu · 2022-04-08T13:06:58Z

This is the type of PRs that horribly break things in a way that Murdock won't catch it, e.g. by triggering a build system bug that ends up half of the test cases not being build anymore. I agree that I should get back to this PR and push it forward, but maybe it is better to wait for the next development cycle before I break everything :)

gschorcht · 2022-04-08T14:30:16Z

@maribu Sorry for jumping into this discussion so late. To be honest, I would prefer to drop the changes for ESPs for now, as they conflict with PRs #17842, #17844, and the PR for ESP32S3 support that is hopefully coming in the next few days. In these PRs xtensa or riscv-esp32 first define the CPU architecture and xtensa-lx6, xtensa-lx7 and riscv32 then define the CPU core used but not the architecture:

ifneq (,$(filter esp32,$(CPU_FAM)))
  CPU_ARCH = xtensa
  CPU_CORE = xtensa-lx6
else ifneq (,$(filter esp32c3,$(CPU_FAM)))
  CPU_ARCH = riscv_esp32
  CPU_CORE = riscv32
else ifneq (,$(filter esp32s3,$(CPU_FAM)))
  CPU_ARCH = xtensa
  CPU_CORE = xtensa-lx7
else
  $(error Unkwnown ESP32x SoC variant (family))
endif

Merging your changes now would cause a lot of conflicts when these very large PRs are rebased, and I would have to check everything again to make sure it still works. So I would prefer to clean it up later if it is still necessary.

maribu · 2022-04-08T18:08:27Z

OK, let's put this on hold until #17842 and #17844 are in.

gschorcht · 2022-08-09T06:13:05Z

OK, let's put this on hold until #17842 and #17844 are in.

@maribu The changes of these PRs are merged now but there are a number of new PRs (#18410, #18411, ...) for ESP32-S3 support. Since the PR seems to diverge already, the question is whether we should get this PR merged before #18410, #18411. It will require a number of changes for ESPs.

maribu · 2022-08-09T07:27:37Z

I currently have no time to push this PR. Let's get ESP32-C3 in first. I can rebase and adapt this afterwards when I have time.
