KBUILD_DEFCONFIG := shx3_defconfig

is never used in a sensible way.  KBUILD_DEFCONFIG specifies the
defconfig file used by "make defconfig", but CONFIG_SUPERH32 is
never set when building config targets.

SH developers,

No comment?


Looks like the SH maintainers are no more picking up any patches.

If nobody takes care of this patch,
I will apply it to Kbuild tree.

cayman_defconfig is a 64-bit defconfig?
As the big chunk of SH platforms are 32-bit (are there any 64-bit out in
the wild?), does it make sense to make a 64-bit defconfig the default?

No.  Seems 32-bit.


$ make ARCH=sh cayman_defconfig && head -n 10 .config
#
# configuration written to .config
#
#
# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Linux/sh 4.14.0-rc7 Kernel Configuration
#
CONFIG_SUPERH=y
CONFIG_SUPERH32=y
# CONFIG_SUPERH64 is not set
CONFIG_ARCH_DEFCONFIG="arch/sh/configs/shx3_defconfig"
CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG=y



So, both shx3_defconfig and cayman_defconfig are 32-bit defconfig.

I do not know the point of this ifdef select.

Anyway, my clean-up is to remove the unused line from the Makefile.

Hmm, I was puzzled by SH configuration.

SH decides CPU bit by ARCH environment, not by defconfig.

config SUPERH32
        def_bool ARCH = "sh"



make ARCH=sh defconfig
configures for cayman_defconfig, with CONFIG_SUPERH32

make ARCH=sh64 defconfig
configures for cayman_defconfig, with CONFIG_SUPERH64


shx3_defconfig is never used.
