This corresponds to -mcu=hs38 with mpy-option=9 (64-bit multiplier)

This re-use of an existing name is a bit annoying. Indeed, all existing
users of Buildroot that have a configuration with BR2_archs38 will now
be building for a ARC system with a 64-bit multiplier, while they were
previously building for a 32-bit multiplier.

I see that what you have done is to try to be consistent between the
BR2_ options and the gcc options. I'm hesitating between keeping the
consistency but making the migration a bit annoying for users, or
breaking the consistency to make the migration smooth for users.

Since I think the number of affected users will probably be quite
small/limited, I think I would be fine with merging your patch as-is,
but I'd like to hear from others.

Thanks,

Thomas

I don't think we want a choice for that. It should simply be implied by
the target CPU selection.

So instead, do it like this:

config BR2_ARC_ARCH_ISA_ARCOMPACT
	bool

config BR2_ARC_ARCH_ISA_ARCV2
	bool

(note: the names are just a proposal, there are probably some better
names)

I would prefer if we kept the existing name as-is, and introduce the new
variant under a different name, e.g.:

    config BR2_archs38
        bool "ARC HS38"

    config BR2_archs68_64mpy
        bool "ARC HS38 w/ 64-bit mpy"

Because, well, they both are HS38 cores, so we are not wrong in naming
both options with hs38.

It would have been good that the config names match the gcc option, of
course, but that is a minor detail I believe...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

I agree that this might cause potential breakage, but this is not totally
uncharted territory for software build config. We've been building Linux kernel
with this option as default since mid 2018.

2018-09-07 00a99339f0a3 ARCv2: build: use mcpu=hs38 iso generic mcpu=archs 

Granted that kernel build is just one part of puzzle and any latent codegen issues
are more likely to surface with default applied to full software stack, I would
still vote for switching default to -mcpu=hs38

Thx,

I think there is some misunderstanding.

What Thomas and I argue on, is the way to change the meaning for the
BR2_archs38 option.

Before this patch, BR2_archs38 meant "ARC HS38". But with your patch, it
now means "ARC HS38 with 64-bit mpy".

So, a user that updates their Buildroot configurationi which previously
had a "plain" HS38 setup, but with this patch, they get an "extended"
HS38 with the 64-bit multiplier.

That's why I suggested in my own reply, to keep BR2_archs38 as it was
before, and introduce BR2_archs38_64mpy to mean the new HS38 w/ the
64-bit multiplier.

Indeed, it does not match the gcc config options, but that would hardly
be the only derogation we have in Buildroot... ;-)

Changing the meaning of an option, and changing the default of a choice,
are two different things. I'm OK with changing the default, but I'd
rather that options keep their meaning.

Not really, I understand what you and Thomas are asking for - its not a super
complicated patch after all ;-)

Yeah I understand that part.

Right that's not the point of doing this exercise anyways.
