r193740 - [AArch64] Add some CPU targets for "generic", A-53 and A-57.

Hi Eric,

 

To me it would be odd if the AArch64 CLI behaved differently to AArch32,
except where absolutely necessary.

 

So I think the most important thing is for the two CLIs to be consistent.
That doesn't necessarily mean that the AArch32 CLI couldn't change or be
extended in the ways you suggest.

 

Could you elaborate on those 'reasons'? What are the disadvantages of the
present approach and/or advantages of your approach?

 

Thanks,

 

Bernie

Hi Eric,

 

Some of the main reasons (there may be more I'm overlooking) for using this
scheme is consistency with the existing ARM backend for end users. From our
perspective, -march should be restricted to actual architectures, and not
one specific implementation. A pragmatic addition is that accepting
-march=cortex-a53 would be ambiguous, as cortex-a53 will exist in both the
ARM and AArch64 backends. Specifying the CPU name alone is not enough to
determine the architecture we're compiling for. We've also never used
-mtune, and to begin doing so would not bring us any significant benefits.
Hope that answers your questions.

 

 

It seems odd to saddle the ARM64 port with the mistakes of the previous ARM
port. That there's going to be a cortex-a53 for arm64 and arm seems
irrelevant since, for the general -arch or -target case, you'll be
specifying the triple that you're compiling for so whether you're compiling
for 64 or 32-bit will be clear on the command line. Unless you have a plan
for cpu families ala the old ARM I really don't see a reason to have this
and a lot of reasons not to.

 

As far as -mtune, the ARM port was actually the only port in gcc that didn't
use -mtune and it caused a lot of odd bugs and complaints. I don't see a
reason to limit tuning for a particular processor while targeting the
architecture of something else.

 

Nigel: Can you elaborate here a bit more with the uses you see here?

Ping? Can you answer this?

Out of curiosity this seems to be enshrining for AArch64 the -march/-mcpu
stuff from the old 32-bit arm gcc port. Why is this necessary? Why not just
-march=cortex-a53 to generate code for a particular architecture and
-mtune=cortex-a53 to tune, but not use any cpu specific instructions for a
particular architecture? Can you explain what your thoughts are here?

Log:
[AArch64] Add some CPU targets for "generic", A-53 and A-57.

Enables the clang driver to begin targeting specific CPUs. Introduced a
"generic" CPU which will ensure that the optional FP feature is enabled
by default when it gets to LLVM, without needing any extra arguments.
Cortex-A53 and A-57 are also introduced with tests, although backend
handling of them does not yet exist.
