It made me recalled I have at last disabled (not enabled for tinyconfig) the following options:
CONFIG_ALTIVEC CONFIG_VSX --> This option enables kernel support for the Vector Scaler extensions
Or we can disable the vsx instructions explicitly:
-mno-vsx
Both of them work well, but I prefer -mno-vsx for to get a faster build, what about you?
+CFLAGS_powerpc64 = -m64 -mbig-endian -Wl,-EB,-melf64ppc -mno-vsx +CFLAGS_powerpc64le = -m64 -mlittle-endian -Wl,-EL,-melf64ppc -mno-vsx
So, this patch itself is wrong, let's drop it from the next revision.
Better explicitly disable it in the CFLAGS (2nd option) if we want to make sure we don't want to rely on this, at least for portability purposes.
Ok, thanks, have updated CFLAGS in these two patches locally:
[PATCH v1 7/8] selftests/nolibc: add test support for powerpc64le [PATCH v1 8/8] selftests/nolibc: add test support for powerpc64
what about the other ones? I'm ready to send v2 ;-)
Unfortunately I won't have the time for a proper review this week.
