CONFIG_AEABI: Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_AEABI:

• prompt: Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in arch/arm/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.16–2.6.39, 3.0–3.2, 3.3-rc+HEAD

Help text

This option allows for the kernel to be compiled using the latest ARM ABI (aka EABI). This is only useful if you are using a user space environment that is also compiled with EABI.

Since there are major incompatibilities between the legacy ABI and EABI, especially with regard to structure member alignment, this option also changes the kernel syscall calling convention to disambiguate both ABIs and allow for backward compatibility support (selected with OABI_COMPAT).

To use this you need GCC version 4.0.0 or later.
