[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 01/30] arch/arm: add blind options to know the ARM architecture

[Yann E. MORIN]

Thomas, All,

On 2014-10-21 22:26 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> In preparation to the removal of BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH for ARM, this
> commit introduces a number of blind options for each ARM architecture,
> so that packages/toolchains that had dependencies using
> BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH can continue to express their dependencies. It can
> also be used to simplify package dependencies that were using the
> individual ARM core options.

I still believe we could go with ARMV7 only, since we only have CPUs of
the A series for now.

When we add a new CPU of the M series, then we could go this route:

  - add a new config option stating the CPU only has Thumb-2:

        config BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_THUMB2_ONLY
            bool

    or add another option:

        config BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_ARM
            bool # 'y' is CPU has the ARM mode

  - use it in packages that have an interest in them.

  - select it from appropriate CPUs

But we can rename that option later, since it is a blind option, it will
have no incidence on defconfig or .config files. So:
