[PATCH v2 0/7] tools/nolibc: add 32/64-bit powerpc support

From: Zhangjin Wu
Date: Wed Jul 26 2023 - 10:48:50 EST


Hi, Willy, Thomas

The suggestions of v1 nolibc powerpc patchset [1] from you have been applied,
here is v2.

Testing results:

- run with tinyconfig

arch/board | result
------------|------------
ppc/g3beige | 165 test(s): 158 passed, 7 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning.
ppc/ppce500 | 165 test(s): 158 passed, 7 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning.
ppc64le/pseries | 165 test(s): 158 passed, 7 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning.
ppc64le/powernv | 165 test(s): 158 passed, 7 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning.
ppc64/pseries | 165 test(s): 158 passed, 7 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning.
ppc64/powernv | 165 test(s): 158 passed, 7 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning.

- run-user

(Tested with -Os, -O0 and -O2)

// for 32-bit PowerPC
$ for arch in powerpc ppc; do make run-user ARCH=$arch CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- ; done | grep status
165 test(s): 157 passed, 8 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning
165 test(s): 157 passed, 8 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning

// for 64-bit big-endian PowerPC and 64-bit little-endian PowerPC
$ for arch in ppc64 ppc64le; do make run-user ARCH=$arch CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu- ; done | grep status
165 test(s): 157 passed, 8 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning
165 test(s): 157 passed, 8 skipped, 0 failed => status: warning

Changes from v1 --> v2:

- tools/nolibc: add support for powerpc

Add missing arch-powerpc.h lines to arch.h

Align with the other arch-<ARCH>.h, naming the variables
with more meaningful words, such as _ret, _num, _arg1 ...

Clean up the syscall instructions

No line from musl now.

Suggestons from Thomas

* tools/nolibc: add support for pppc64

No change

* selftests/nolibc: add extra configs customize support

To reduce complexity, merge the commands from the new extraconfig
target to defconfig target and drop the extconfig target completely.

Derived from Willy's suggestion of the tinyconfig patchset

* selftests/nolibc: add XARCH and ARCH mapping support

To reduce complexity, let's use XARCH internally and only reserve
ARCH as the input variable.

Derived from Willy's suggestion

* selftests/nolibc: add test support for powerpc

Add ppc as the default 32-bit variant for powerpc target, allow pass
ARCH=ppc or ARCH=powerpc to test 32-bit powerpc

Derived from Willy's suggestion

* selftests/nolibc: add test support for pppc64le

Rename powerpc64le to ppc64le

Suggestion from Willy

* selftests/nolibc: add test support for pppc64

Rename powerpc64 to ppc64

Suggestion from Willy

Best regards,
Zhangjin
