Signed-off-by: Oleksii Kurochko <oleksii.kurochko@gmail.com>
---
Changes in V4:
 - Change message -> subject in "Changes in V3"
 - Documentation about system requirement was added. In the future, it can be checked if the extension is supported
   by system __riscv_isa_extension_available() ( https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/olkur/xen/-/commit/737998e89ed305eb92059300c374dfa53d2143fa )
 - update cpu_relax() function to check if __riscv_zihintpause is supported by a toolchain
 - add conditional _zihintpause to -march if it is supported by a toolchain
Changes in V3:
 - update the commit subject
 - rename get_processor_id to smp_processor_id
 - code style fixes
 - update the cpu_relax instruction: use pause instruction instead of div %0, %0, zero
---
Changes in V2:
 - Nothing changed. Only rebase.

Shorter as "def_bool y".

So for a reason I cannot really see -mabi= is indeed required here,
or else the compiler sees an issue with the D extension. But enabling
both M and A shouldn't really be needed in this check, as being
unrelated?

> +	depends on LLD_VERSION >= 150000 || LD_VERSION >= 23600

What's the linker dependency here? Depending on the answer I might further
ask why "TOOLCHAIN" when elsewhere we use CC_HAS_ or HAS_CC_ or HAS_AS_.

That said, you may or may not be aware that personally I'm against
encoding such in Kconfig, and my repeated attempts to get the respective
discussion unstuck have not led anywhere. Therefore if you keep this, I'll
be in trouble whether to actually ack the change as a whole.

Like elsewhere, nit: Missing blanks immediately inside the parentheses.

It's probably okay to be separate, but I'd suggest folding this right
into the asm()-s.

Agree, that M and A could be dropped.

Regarding -mabi my guess is because D extension can be emulated by
compiler, doesn't matter if D is set in -march.  If it is set then
hardware instruction will be used, otherwise emulated instruction will
be used.
And if D extenstion is always present it is need to know which ABI
should be used. If D extenstion has h/w support then -mabi should be
also update to lp64d instead of lp64.

I missed to introduce {L}LLD_VERSION config. It should output from the
command:
  riscv64-linux-gnu-ld --version

Could I ask what is wrong with introduction of such things on KConfig?

Would it be better to put everything in riscv/arch.mk?

Doesn't answer my question though where the linker version matters
here.

Just one of several possible pointers:
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2022-09/msg01793.html

> Would it be better to put everything in riscv/arch.mk?

Or a mix of both, as per the proposal. Just to be clear, if I say "yes"
to your question, someone else may come along and tell you to turn
around again.

Then I misinterpreted your initial question.
Could you please provide further clarification or rephrase it for
better understanding?

Probably, your question was about why linker dependency is needed here,
then
it is not sufficient to check if a toolchain supports a particular  
extension without checking if the linker supports that extension   
too.
For example, Clang 15 supports Zihintpause but GNU bintutils
2.35.2 does not, leading build errors like so:
    
   riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: -march=rv64i_zihintpause2p0: Invalid or
   unknown z ISA extension: 'zihintpause'

Hmm, that's certainly "interesting" behavior of the RISC-V linker. Yet
isn't the linker capability expected to be tied to that of gas? I would
find it far more natural if a gas dependency existed here. If such a
connection cannot be taken for granted, I'm pretty sure you'd need to
probe both then anyway.

Wouldn't it be enough in this case instead of introducing of new
configs and etc, just to do the following:
   +ifeq ($(CONFIG_RISCV_64),y)
   +has_zihintpause = $(call as-insn,$(CC) -mabi=lp64 -
   march=rv64i_zihintpause, "pause",_zihintpause,)
   +else
   +has_zihintpause = $(call as-insn,$(CC) -mabi=ilp32 -
   march=rv32i_zihintpause, "pause",_zihintpause,)
   +endif
   +
    riscv-march-$(CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_RV64G) := rv64g
    riscv-march-$(CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_C)       := $(riscv-march-y)c
   -riscv-march-$(CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZIHINTPAUSE) := $(riscv-march-
   y)_zihintpause
    
    # Note that -mcmodel=medany is used so that Xen can be mapped
    # into the upper half _or_ the lower half of the address space.
    # -mcmodel=medlow would force Xen into the lower half.
    
   -CFLAGS += -march=$(riscv-march-y) -mstrict-align -mcmodel=medany
   +CFLAGS += -march=$(riscv-march-y)$(has_zihintpause) -mstrict-align
   -
   mcmodel=medany

Probably, it would be better:
   ...
   +CFLAGS += -march=$(riscv-march-y)$(call or,$(has_zihintpause)) -
   mstrict-align -
   mcmodel=medany

Yes, this is kind of what I'd expect.

Why the use of "or"? IOW right now I don't see what's "better" here.
