Commitc1a0e9bc88("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed") added Kconfig entries allowing for the compact branch policy used by the compiler for MIPSr6 kernels to be specified. This can be useful for debugging, particularly in systems where compact branches have recently been introduced. Unfortunately mainline gcc 5.x supports MIPSr6 but not the -mcompact-branches compiler flag, leading to MIPSr6 kernels failing to build with gcc 5.x with errors such as: mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mcompact-branches=optimal' make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1 Fixing this by hiding the Kconfig entry behind another seems to be more hassle than it's worth, as MIPSr6 & compact branches have been around for a while now and if policy does need to be set for debug it can be done easily enough with KCFLAGS. Therefore remove the compact branch policy Kconfig entries & their handling in the Makefile. This reverts commitc1a0e9bc88("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed").

This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
|
|
to print messages very early in the bootup process.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
|
|
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation,
|
|
it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
|
|
doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
|

unless you want to debug such a crash.

For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
|
|
by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
|
|
it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
|
|
default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
|
|
For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
|
|
command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
|
|
should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
|
|
in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
|
|
|
|
The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
|
|
line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
|
|
command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
|
|
|
|
Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
|
|
the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.

On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to

pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases

when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore
|
|
the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at
|
|
build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify
|
|
kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom

initialization routines.
