Hi!
David Daney a Ãcrit :
You are claiming that all loongson2 are loongson-2f. Is that really
true? Or are there other types of loongson2 that are not loongson-2f?
You need to be very careful here. This is part of the userspace ABI, so
if you get it wrong, you are stuck with it forever.
I'll figure out how to distinguish them and send a new patch.
One question you didn't address is why userspace would care that it is
running on exactly "loongson-2f" instead of just mips4.
I think Aurelien answered this.
The __elf_platform gets converted to a directory name by ld.so, so you
may want to choose a value without '-' in it.
Well I appreciate consistency with GCC flag names, so I'd rather keep
the dash, but then again it's not my decision to make. In any case,
whoever commits this can adjust the name to his/her liking.
I don't like to put words into Ralf's mouth, but it is easier to work
with patches that have been tested and are ready to go, rather than
having to re-write everything.
Some of the strings in use are "i686", "x86_64", "octeon", "octeon2",
"PARISC", "PARISC32", tilegx-m32", "v4l", "v3l", "v4b", and "v3b", these
last for for ARM and they don't match the GCC -mcpu= values.
So I guess what ever you want.
