Arm build so far has been an amalgam of -mcpu and -march. When march is in use, it has been the case so far to silently fall back to a downgraded march when the compiler does not support the requested march. This is unnecessary and confusing to an end user who could be building DPDK with a particular ISA version and performance expectations in mind. This patch aims to rectify both the above issues. For part numbers that has a corresponding -mcpu, this patch removes all references to march and march_features from meson.build. For those SOCs that do not have a corresponding -mcpu, a pseudo cpu name in the format mcpu_ is introduced and referenced in the mcpu field in the part number dictionary of the part_number_config dictionary. The definition of the mcpu_ must be provided in the mcpu_defs dictionary. Each mcpu_ dictionary in the mcpu_defs have a march field and a march_extensions field to construct the optimal compiler setting for an SOC that has no corresponding -mcpu value. This patch alters the behavior of the build system such that it will no longer silently fall back to an older ISA version, it will only perform what's specified in the build dictionaries, if the compiler does not support the specified configuration it will fail with an error message. How to add a new SOC to the build system with these changes? If compiler supports mcpu follow the usual practice but without march and march_features fields in the part number dictionary. If mcpu is not available or buggy (misses certain features) for some reason follow the same process but set mcpu field to a string in the form 'mcpu_foo' (pseudo mcpu mentioned earlier). Then in the mcpu_defs dictionary add mcpu_foo dictionary as shown. 'mcpu_foo': { 'march': 'armv8.2-a', 'march_extensions': [rcpc] } march_extensions is a comma separated list of march extensions supported by the compiler such as sve, crypto etc. Empty match_extensions allowed as use of such extensions are optional.
