From b03c1e3b8eed9026733c473071d1f528358a0e50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Burton Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:58:06 +0100 Subject: MIPS: Remove compact branch policy Kconfig entries Commit c1a0e9bc885d ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed") added Kconfig entries allowing for the compact branch policy used by the compiler for MIPSr6 kernels to be specified. This can be useful for debugging, particularly in systems where compact branches have recently been introduced. Unfortunately mainline gcc 5.x supports MIPSr6 but not the -mcompact-branches compiler flag, leading to MIPSr6 kernels failing to build with gcc 5.x with errors such as: mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mcompact-branches=optimal' make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1 Fixing this by hiding the Kconfig entry behind another seems to be more hassle than it's worth, as MIPSr6 & compact branches have been around for a while now and if policy does need to be set for debug it can be done easily enough with KCFLAGS. Therefore remove the compact branch policy Kconfig entries & their handling in the Makefile. This reverts commit c1a0e9bc885d ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed").
