From 4bfa29e94788df12c5845adeb8d5fb915db89541 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julius Werner Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 14:36:34 -0700 Subject: arm64: xcompile: Add support for A53 erratum 843419 This patch adds support to enable a linker workaround to a hardware erratum on some early Cortex-A53 revisions. Since the linker option was added very recently, we use xcompile to test whether the toolchain supports it first. It is also guarded by a Kconfig since only a few ARM64 SoCs will need this and it incurs a performance penalty. BRANCH=none BUG=none TEST=Turned it on or off for Smaug and confirmed that it (dis)appeared in verbose make output accordingly.
