    Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 107/192] ARM: 8833/1: Ensure that NEON code always compiles with Clang
    Date
    From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@gmail.com>

    [ Upstream commit de9c0d49d85dc563549972edc5589d195cd5e859 ]

    While building arm32 allyesconfig, I ran into the following errors:

    arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c:17:2: error: You should compile this file with
    '-mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon'

    In file included from lib/raid6/neon1.c:27:
    /home/nathan/cbl/prebuilt/lib/clang/8.0.0/include/arm_neon.h:28:2:
    error: "NEON support not enabled"

    Building V=1 showed NEON_FLAGS getting passed along to Clang but
    __ARM_NEON__ was not getting defined. Ultimately, it boils down to Clang
    only defining __ARM_NEON__ when targeting armv7, rather than armv6k,
    which is the '-march' value for allyesconfig.

    >From lib/Basic/Targets/ARM.cpp in the Clang source:

    // This only gets set when Neon instructions are actually available, unlike
    // the VFP define, hence the soft float and arch check. This is subtly
    // different from gcc, we follow the intent which was that it should be set
    // when Neon instructions are actually available.
    if ((FPU & NeonFPU) && !SoftFloat && ArchVersion >= 7) {
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON", "1");
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON__");
    // current AArch32 NEON implementations do not support double-precision
    // floating-point even when it is present in VFP.
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON_FP",
    "0x" + Twine::utohexstr(HW_FP & ~HW_FP_DP));
    }

    Ard Biesheuvel recommended explicitly adding '-march=armv7-a' at the
    beginning of the NEON_FLAGS definitions so that __ARM_NEON__ always gets
    definined by Clang. This doesn't functionally change anything because
    that code will only run where NEON is supported, which is implicitly
    armv7.
