[ Upstream commit 74c11e300c103af47db5b658fdcf28002421e250 ] GCC built for arc*-*-linux has "-mmedium-calls" implicitly enabled by default thus we don't see any problems during Linux kernel compilation. ----------------------------->8------------------------ arc-linux-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls -mlong-calls [disabled] -mmedium-calls [enabled] ----------------------------->8------------------------ But if we try to use so-called Elf32 toolchain with GCC configured for arc*-*-elf* then we'd see the following failure: ----------------------------->8------------------------ init/do_mounts.o: In function 'init_rootfs': do_mounts.c:(.init.text+0x108): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARC_S21W_PCREL against symbol 'unregister_filesystem' defined in .text section in fs/filesystems.o arc-elf32-ld: final link failed: Symbol needs debug section which does not exist make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 ----------------------------->8------------------------ That happens because neither "-mmedium-calls" nor "-mlong-calls" are enabled in Elf32 GCC: ----------------------------->8------------------------ arc-elf32-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls -mlong-calls [disabled] -mmedium-calls [disabled] ----------------------------->8------------------------ Now to make it possible to use Elf32 toolchain for building Linux kernel we're explicitly add "-mmedium-calls" to CFLAGS. And since we add "-mmedium-calls" to the global CFLAGS there's no point in having per-file copies thus removing them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
