After commit 0e96ea5c3eb5904e5dc2f ("MIPS: Loongson64: Clean up use of
cc-ifversion") we get a build error when make modules_install:

cc1: error: '-mloongson-mmi' must be used with '-mhard-float'

The reason is when make modules_install, 'call cc-option' doesn't work
in $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) of 'CHECKFLAGS'. Then there is no -mno-loongson-mmi
applied and -march=loongson3a enable MMI instructions.

Fix this by partially reverting to the old logic, use 'call cc-option'
to conditionally apply -march=loongson3a and -march=mips64r2.

The first sentence does not make much sense to me, specifically "in
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS) of 'CHECKFLAGS'". What configuration and build command
reproduces this? I do not see how '-mno-loongson-mmi' would fail to get
added to cflags-y after 0e96ea5c3eb5, which should have had no
functional change... I don't want to hang this change up since there is
real breakage but I want to make sure we fully understand why
0e96ea5c3eb5 broke things and why this patch resolves it.

Please use loongson3_defconfig to build a loongson kernel with
toolchains from here [1]:
'make' will succeed, but there is a build error when 'make
modules_install'. And you should be careful because 'make
modules_install' doesn't stop when the error occurs.

Excellent, thank you! I understand what is going on here and your patch
should work to resolve it (although I think the commit message should be
flushed out a little more with the following details) but I am curious
if Masahiro has any thoughts around this.

As you note, the error message comes from the CHECKFLAGS invocation of
$(CC) but it has no impact on the final result of modules_install, it is
purely a cosmetic issue from what I can tell. The error occurs because
cc-option is defined in scripts/Makefile.compiler, which is not included
in Makefile when running modules_install, as install targets are not
supposed to require the compiler; see commit 805b2e1d427a ("kbuild:
include Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed"). As a result,
the call to check for '-mno-loongson-mmi' just never happens.

It would nice if '-mno-loongson-mmi' could be added unconditionally when
using GCC but I can see that the flag has only existed since 9.x, so we
do need to keep the cc-option call.

I am fine with your change as long as it includes some of the above
information (basically noting that while the original change should have
been equivalent, the requirement of '-mno-loongson-mmi' when using
certain Loongson '-march=' values with '-msoft-float' means that those
Loongson '-march=' values need to be called with cc-option as well),
even if clang will incur two more cc-option calls as a result (not the
end of the world).

Additionally, it seems like the same issue will occur when running
modules_install when CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON2E or CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON2F are
enabled, which I guess I also broke in commit 13ceb48bc19c ("MIPS:
Loongson2ef: Remove unnecessary {as,cc}-option calls") :/

Sorry again for the breakage and thanks for the fix!

Cheers,
Nathan

OK, I will update the commit message and fix for LOONGSON2EF together.
