This commit moves getopt declaration checker originally in sim/
configure.ac; added in commit 340aa4f6872c ("sim: Check known getopt
definition existence") to sim/m4/sim_ac_platform.m4 (inside the
SIM_AC_PLATFORM macro).
It also regenerates configuration files using the maintainer mode.
Rather than rely on SIM_SUBDIRS being set, add a dedicated variable
to track whether to enable the sim. While the current code works
fine, it won't work as we remove the recursive make logic (i.e. the
SIM_SUBDIRS variable).
Rather than define our own hack for emitting an include statement,
use the existing Automake include variables. These have the nice
side-effect of being more portable.
This is the last bit of logic that exists in the mips configure
script, so move it to the top-level configure to kill it off.
We still have to move the Makefile.in igen logic to local.mk,
but this is a required first step for that.
We've been using this only to set the default word size to 32. We
can easily move this into the makefile via a -D compiler flag and
clean up the build logic quite a bit.

We've been using this only to set the default word size to 32-vs-64
based on the $target. We can easily merge this with the top-level
configure script to clean things up a bit.
The install code was using $SUBDIRS to track all enabled arches. This
works, but isn't great if we want to add a subdir that isn't an arch
port, or as we merge the subdirs into the top-level. Create a new var
explicitly to track the list of enabled arches instead.
Automake will run each subdir individually before moving on to the next
one. This means that the linking phase, a single threaded process, will
not run in parallel with anything else. When we have to link ~32 ports,
that's 32 link steps that don't take advantage of parallel systems. On
my really old 4-core system, this cuts a multi-target build from ~60 sec
to ~30 sec. We eventually want to move all compile+link steps to this
common dir anyways, so might as well move linking now for a nice speedup.
We use noinst_PROGRAMS instead of bin_PROGRAMS because we're taking care
of the install ourselves rather than letting automake process it.
Clang generates a warning if there is a function declaration/definition
with zero arguments. Such declarations/definitions without a prototype (an
argument list) are deprecated forms of indefinite arguments
("-Wdeprecated-non-prototype"). On the default configuration, it causes a
build failure (unless "--disable-werror" is specified).
include/getopt.h defines some getopt function definitions but one of them
has a form "extern int getopt ();". If this form is selected in
include/getopt.h, Clang generates a warning and the build fails by default.
In really old environments, this getopt definition with no arguments is
necessary (because the definition may change between environments).
However, this definition is now a cause of problems on modern environments.
A good news is, this definition is not always selected (e.g. if used by
binutils/*.c). This is because configuration scripts of binutils, gas,
gprof and ld tries to find known definition of getopt function is used and
defines HAVE_DECL_GETOPT macro. If this macro is defined when getopt.h is
included, a good form of getopt is used and Clang won't generate warnings.
This commit adds a modified portion of ld/configure.ac to find the known
getopt definition. If we could find one (and we *will* in most modern
environments), we don't need to rely on the deprecated definition.
This was left in subdirs because of the dynamic cgen usage. However,
we can move this breakpoint call to runtime and let gdb detect whether
the symbol exists.
Gas does not support multitarget builds -- it still only supports
a single input & output format. ld is a bit better, but requires
manual flags to select the right output. This makes it impossible
to run the complete testsuite in a multitarget build.
To address this limitation, create a suite of FOR_TARGET variables
so these can be set to precompiled as & ld programs. It requires
a bit of setup ahead of time, but it's a one-time cost, and makes
running the full testsuite at once much easier.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports.
The setting only affects igen based ports, and they were turning
this on by default, so keep the default in place.
Now that the scache logic has been migrated into the common code,
there's nothing specific in these configure scripts, so merge them
into the common one.
The frv unique logic can be moved to a dedicated include and merged
in the common configure since the flag has been scoped to the arch.
The cgen scache module is enabled by every cgen port, and with the
same default value of 16k (which matches the common default value).
Let's pull this option out of the individual ports (via CPPFLAGS)
and into the common code (via config.h).
The object itself is compiled only for cgen ports atm, so that part
doesn't change. The scache code is initialized dynamically via the
modules.c logic. That's why the profile code needs an additional
CGEN_ARCH check.
This will allow us to collapse arch configure files more. Merging
the source files will require more future work, but integrating the
cgen & non-cgen worlds itself will take a lot.
This kills off another compile-time option by moving the setting to
the individual arch runtimes. This will allow dynamic selection by
the arch when doing a single build with multiple arches.
The sim_model_init rework is a little funky. In the past it was
disabled entirely if no default model was set. We maintain the
spirit of the logic by gating the fallback logic on whether the
port has defined any models.
We rewrite srcdir in subdir Makefiles that we generate from the common
parent dir since it points to the parent dir. Since @srcdir@ can be a
variety of formats (relative & absolute), switch to @abs_srcdir@ which
is a lot easier to adjust. Our use of srcdir in here should handle it.
These ports only use the pieces that have been unified, so we can
merge them into the common configure script and get rid of their
unique one entirely.
We still compile & link separate run programs, and have dedicated
subdir Makefiles, but the configure script portion is merged.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports. It makes it available to targets that
aren't cgen-based, but those will just ignore the settings, so it
shouldn't be an issue.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports. It also enables -Werror usage on the
common files we've been pulling out of arch subdirs.
As we merge settings from subdirs into the common configure, we
sometimes need to keep the settings working in both dirs. Create
a makefile fragment to pass them down so we don't have to run the
checks twice. For now, the file is empty, but we'll start moving
logic in shortly.
The m4 macro has 2 args: the "wire" settings (which represents the
hardwired port behavior), and the default settings (which are used
if nothing else is specified). If none are specified, the arch is
expected to support both, and the value will be probed based on the
user runtime options or the input program.
Only two arches today set the default value (bpf & mips). We can
probably let this go as it only shows up in one scenario: the sim
is invoked, but with no inputs, and no user endian selection. This
means bpf will not behave like the other arches: an error is shown
and forces the user to make a choice. If an input program is used
though, we'll still switch the default to that. This allows us to
remove the WITH_DEFAULT_TARGET_BYTE_ORDER setting.
For the ports that set a "wire" endian, move it to the runtime init
of the respective sim_open calls. This allows us to change the
WITH_TARGET_BYTE_ORDER to purely a user-selected configure setting
if they want to force a specific endianness.
With all the endian logic moved to runtime selection, we can move
the configure call up to the common dir so we only process it once
across all ports.
The ppc arch was picking the wire endian based on the target used,
but since we weren't doing that for other biendian arches, we can
let this go too. We'll rely on the input selecting the endian, or
make the user decide.
Currently, the sim-config module will abort if alignment settings
haven't been specified by the port's configure.ac. This is a bit
weird when we've allowed SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT to seem like it's
optional to use. Thus everyone invokes it.
There are 4 alignment settings, but really only 2 matters: strict
and nonstrict. The "mixed" setting is just the default ("unset"),
and "forced" isn't used directly by anyone (it's available as a
runtime option for some ports).
The m4 macro has 2 args: the "wire" settings (which represents the
hardwired port behavior), and the default settings (which are used
if nothing else is specified). If none are specified, then the
build won't work (see above as if SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT wasn't
called). If default settings are provided, then that is used, but
we allow the user to override at runtime. Otherwise, the "wire"
settings are used and user runtime options to change are ignored.
Most ports specify a default, or set the "wire" to nonstrict. A
few set "wire" to strict, but it's not clear that's necessary as
it doesn't make the code behavior, by default, any different. It
might make things a little faster, but we should provide the user
the choice of the compromises to make: force a specific mode at
compile time for faster runtime, or allow the choice at runtime.
More likely it seems like an oversight when these ports were
initially created, and/or copied & pasted from existing ports.
With all that backstory, let's get to what this commit does.
First kill off the idea of a compile-time default alignment and
set it to nonstrict in the common code. For any ports that want
strict alignment by default, that code is moved to sim_open while
initializing the sim. That means WITH_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT can be
completely removed.
Moving the default alignment to the runtime also allows removal
of setting the "wire" settings at configure time. Which allows
removing of all arguments to SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT and moving
that call to common code.
The macro logic can be reworked to not pass WITH_ALIGNMENT as -D
CPPFLAG and instead move it to config.h.
All of these taken together mean we can hoist the macro up to the
top level and share it among all sims so behavior is consistent
among all the ports.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports. The AC_INIT macro does a lot of the
heavy lifting already which allows further simplification.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports.
The ppc code needs a little extra care with its trace settings as
it's not exactly the same API as the common code. The other knobs
are the same though.
Move the various platform tests up a level to avoid duplication
across the ports. When building multiple versions, this speeds
things up a bit.
For now we move the obvious stuff up a level, but we don't turn
own the config.h entirely just yet -- we still have some tests
related to libraries that need consideration.
Provide a simple example simulator for people porting to new targets
to use as a reference. This one has the advantage of being used by
people and having a fun program available for it.
It doesn't require a special target -- the example simulators can be
built for any existing port.
