From 5373ae67c3aad1ab306cc722b5a80b831eb4d4d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aurelien Jarno Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2021 20:30:47 +0100 Subject: MIPS: Support binutils configured with --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=yes From version 2.35, binutils can be configured with --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=yes, which means it defaults to -mfix-loongson3-llsc. This breaks labels which might then point at the wrong instruction. The workaround to explicitly pass -mno-fix-loongson3-llsc has been added in Linux version 5.1, but is only enabled when building a Loongson 64 kernel. As vendors might use a common toolchain for building Loongson and non-Loongson kernels, just move that workaround to arch/mips/Makefile. At the same time update the comments to reflect the current status.
