Subject: [PATCH v3] Use ELF_BASE_PLATFORM to pass ISA level
Date: Sat,  7 Mar 2020 10:39:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200307023945.191663-1-syq@debian.org> (raw)

Some userland application/program runtime/dynamic loaded need to
know about the current ISA level to use the best runtime.
While kernel doesn't provides this info.

ELF_PLATFORM only provides some info about the CPU, with very few info,
for example, the value is "mips" for both 24Kc and P6600.

Currently ELF_BASE_PLATFORM is not used by MIPS (only by powerpc).
So we cant set its value as:
  mips2, mips3, mips4, mips5,
  mips32, mips32r2, mips32r6
  mips64, mips64r2, mips64r6
Then in userland, we can get it by:
  getauxval(AT_BASE_PLATFORM)

The only problem is that it seems has different defination than ppc:
  on ppc, it is the mircoarchitecture
while now we use it as ISA level on MIPS.

v2->v3:
  no need to init static data with 0.
v1->v2:
  add Signed-off-by and Reviewer-by Jiaxun Yang.
