解决编译“ Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #0”问题

在用arm2011.09编译器编译pandaboard的x-loader时遇到如下编译问题：

 Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #0

google了一下，貌似这样的问题还是挺多的，有几种方法，一一实验。

1.

replacing in arch/arm/mach-omap2/Makefile:

AFLAGS_sleep24xx.o                      :=-Wa,-march=armv6
AFLAGS_sleep34xx.o                      :=-Wa,-march=armv7-a

to:

AFLAGS_sleep24xx.o                      :=-Wa,-march=armv6
AFLAGS_sleep34xx.o                      :=-Wa,-march=armv7-a$(plus_sec)

helps compiling (see also: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/369681/)

在config.mk中修改后，实验无效，

$(plus_sec)

为空，无效。

2. uboot的faq，http://www.denx.de/wiki/ELDK-5/FrequentlyAskedQuestionsAndAnswers，标题Cannot compile Linux kernel version 2.6.32 for armv7a

Question:

I want to compile a vendor-provided old Linux kernel tree (kernel version 2.6.32) with ELDK 5.0 for the armv7a configuration. Unfortunately this fails with errors like this one:

 ...
  CC      arch/arm/kernel/sysfs_v7.o
/tmp/ccwkv7On.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccwkv7On.s:249: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #0'
/tmp/ccwkv7On.s:289: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #0'
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/sysfs_v7.o] Error 1

Answer:

Your kernel tree is too old for the ELDK 5.0 tool chain.You can work around this problem by applying the following patch to your kernel tree:

在代码中添加

.arch_extension sec

后，编译通过。

总结：应该是代码写法与编译器有冲突，需要在代码中声明扩展指令段
