[PATCH 4.9 85/92] MIPS: Disable Loongson MMI instructions for kernel build

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 17:55:30 EST


From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxx>

commit 2f2b4fd674cadd8c6b40eb629e140a14db4068fd upstream.

GCC 9.x automatically enables support for Loongson MMI instructions when
using some -march= flags, and then errors out when -msoft-float is
specified with:

cc1: error: â-mloongson-mmiâ must be used with â-mhard-floatâ

The kernel shouldn't be using these MMI instructions anyway, just as it
doesn't use floating point instructions. Explicitly disable them in
order to fix the build with GCC 9.x.
