From: David Woodhouse Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:51:55 +0000 (+0000) Subject: x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffee0de411fd;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy to trash an entire build tree that way. This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from 'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64), which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we started so long ago. This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands such as: make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig make ARCH=i386 randconfig ... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation is not desirable. In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values. We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using $KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding CONFIG_64BIT. We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing that though.
