Until now, all ARM processors supported the original ARM instructions.
However, the Cortex-M variants don't support them, and support only
Thumb/Thumb2 modes.
So, make a Kconfig option for ARM support and use it.
[Thomas:
- Remove the dependency in the choice between ARM/Thumb/Thumb-2,
because basically the choice is now always visible.
- Replace the BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM_CHOICE choice option directly
by BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM, instead of having this blind option
defined separately. This means the choice is now always visible,
even when only the ARM instruction set is supported.]

help
|
|
The EABI is currently the standard ARM ABI, which is used in
|
|
most projects. It supports both the 'soft' floating point
|
|
model (in which floating point instructions are emulated in
|
|
software) and the 'softfp' floating point model (in which
|
|
floating point instructions are executed using an hardware
|
|
floating point unit, but floating point arguments to
|
|
functions are passed in integer registers).
|
|
|
|
The 'softfp' floating point model is link-compatible with
|
|
the 'soft' floating point model, i.e you can link a library
|
|
built 'soft' with some other code built 'softfp'.
|
|
|
|
However, passing the floating point arguments in integer
|
|
registers is a bit inefficient, so if your ARM processor has
|
|
a floating point unit, and you don't have pre-compiled
|
|
'soft' or 'softfp' code, using the EABIhf ABI will provide
|
|
better floating point performances.
|
|
|
|
If your processor does not have a floating point unit, then
|
|
you must use this ABI.

|
|
The EABIhf is an extension of EABI which supports the 'hard'
|
|
floating point model. This model uses the floating point
|
|
unit to execute floating point instructions, and passes
|
|
floating point arguments in floating point registers.
|
|
|
|
It is more efficient than EABI for floating point related
|
|
workload. However, it does not allow to link against code
|
|
that has been pre-built for the 'soft' or 'softfp' floating
|
|
point models.
|
|
|
|
If your processor has a floating point unit, and you don't
|
|
depend on existing pre-compiled code, this option is most
|
|
likely the best choice.
