Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel 8be92dcd59 arch-mips: Add mipsisa{32, 64}r6{el, } tunes
Add support for MIPS Release 6 ISA and the various tune
configurations.

This patch adds the tunes for 32r6 and 64r6 n64 and not the n32
variants at the moment.

Release 6 onwards, the tuples are now
 - mipsisa32r6-linux-gnu
 - mipsisa32r6el-linux-gnu
 - mipsisa64r6-linux-gnuabi64
 - mipsisa64r6el-linux-gnuabi64
 - mipsisa64r6-linux-gnuabin32
 - mipsisa64r6el-linux-gnuabin32

  • 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.

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_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".
