Arm recommends using -mcpu over -march and march-extensions when the
compiler supports the target CPU (neoverse-n1 etc.). 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_<soc_name> is
introduced and referenced in the mcpu field in the part number
dictionary of the part_number_config dictionary. The definition of the
mcpu_<soc_name> must be provided in the mcpu_defs dictionary.
Each mcpu_<soc_name> 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.

I couldn't understand the problem, current the arm build already prefer use mcpu and then march:

    if (part_number_config.has_key('mcpu') and
	
    elif part_number_config.has_key('march')

Prefer extend or change already existed struct.

In addition, there are many structures in the arm build. But it seemed
there is no document to describe the structure to which a feature should be added.

Arm recommends using -mcpu over -march and march-extensions when the
compiler supports the target CPU (neoverse-n1 etc.). 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_<soc_name> is
introduced and referenced in the mcpu field in the part number
dictionary of the part_number_config dictionary. The definition of the
mcpu_<soc_name> must be provided in the mcpu_defs dictionary.
Each mcpu_<soc_name> 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.

Hi Thomas,

CI is failing because gcc version 11 does not enable crypto extension for thunderx2,
with -mcpu=thunderx2t99 unless +crypto feature modifier is used.
Goal of this patch is to drop use of such feature modifiers when an -mcpu is available
for a given platform.
This issue is fixed in gcc version 13 for thunderx2t99. 

Thanks.

We cannot afford dropping the support of GCC 11.
Which solution do you propose?

Adding a pseudo mcpu for thunderx2t99 as described in the patch. I will send a v3
with that change.
