Ross Burton a1b9c06ff5 qemu/machine: rename QEMU_EXTRAOPTIONS for consistency
The per-tune qemu options variable is QEMU_EXTRAOPTIONS_${TUNE_PKGARCH},
but this doesn't follow the pattern of all of the other tune-specific
variables in the machine configuration which is VARIABLE:tune-[name].

Rename QEMU_EXTRAOPTIONS_${TUNE_PKGARCH} to
QEMU_EXTRAOPTIONS:tune-${TUNE_PKGARCH} for consistency.

Note that this will mean that BSPs need to update any assignments of
this variable.

2016/09/30 - Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel Zubair.Kakakhel@imgtec.com

  • Add Release 6 support

2012/03/30 - Mark Hatle mark.hatle@windriver.com

  • Initial Version

MIPS currently defines 12 ABIs. Combinations of: *) Big/Little Endian *) Hardware/Software Floating Point *) o32, n32, n64 ABI

Release 6 of the ISA is a major revision and doesn't build up on previous releases of the ISA.

For more details about tuples, check https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Tuples

TUNE_ARCH, the GNU canonical arch, is defined as:

"mips${MIPSPKGSFX_32R6}${MIPSPKGSFX_64R6}${MIPSPKGSFX_BYTE}${MIPSPKGSFX_R6}${MIPSPKGSFX_ENDIAN}"

The package arch is defined in such a way to generated a standard naming scheme. The scheme is: [-nf][-n32]

TUNE_PKGARCH is defined as:

${MIPSPKGSFX_VARIANT:tune-${DEFAULTTUNE}}${MIPSPKGSFX_FPU}${MIPSPKGSFX_ABI}

The following is a list of MIPS specific variables:

MIPSPKGSFX_BYTE - This is defined as either blank and "64" for MIPS64 CPUs.

MIPSPKGSFX_ENDIAN - For bigendian hardware this is blank, otherwise it's defined as "el".

MIPSPKGSFX_ENDIAN2 - For bigendian hardware this is "eb", otherwise it's defined as "el".

MIPSPKGSFX_VARIANT:tune- - In the default tunings it is set to the same value as TUNE_ARCH. In custom, optimized tunings, the value should be modified to more precisely describe the tuning.

MIPSPKGSFX_FPU - The value is set to "" or "-nf", where "-nf" indicates that the tune is using a non-floating point ABI.

MIPSPKGSFX_ABI - This is used to specify an alternative ABI when the previous values are not enough to distringuish the package. "-n32" is added when building for N32 ABI.

MIPSPKGSFX_R6 - This is used to specify the presence of release 6. "r6" is added in the tuple for release 6 of the isa.

MIPSPKGSFX_64R6 - This is used to specify "isa" in the tuple. Release 6 onwards we use "mipsisa64" instead of just "mips64".

MIPSPKGSFX_32R6 - This is used to specify "isa32" in the tuple. Release 6 onwards we use "mipsisa32" instead of just "mips".
