[PATCH v4 6/6] Follow profile naming as-per latest RISC-V profiles spec

Anup Patel

We should follow profile naming as-per latest RISC-V profiles
specification. Also, we should avoid explicit mentions of
"RV32xxx" and "RV64xxx" ISA strings.

However, the current draft profile spec doesn't event mention about
these terms (RVA22x64).

Should we defer this patch until we have something in the profile spec
?

I am afraid that we have to make changes again if the naming convention
is changed in the profile spec later.

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/blob/master/profiles.adoc

Should we defer this patch until we have something in the profile spec
? I am afraid that we have to make changes again if the naming convention
is changed in the profile spec later.

The above adoc is very tentative and hasn't been reviewed at all. Even Krste would acknowledge that the naming details will change.

So whatever we use in the platform specs is just a placeholder that almost for certain will need to be updated to match whatever final naming ends up in the profile specs.

To the extent that we, for now, match Krste's initial thought (as expressed in the adoc), the platform spec would actually use 'RVA22U' and 'RVA22S' since the adoc specifies that the default for RVA profiles is RV64 and a '32' suffix is needed only in the non-default RV32 case. (This is the opposite default from what is specified for the RVM profiles.)

So I would suggest we go with these 'RVA22U' and 'RVA22S' names for now and allow for a final change later this year. Even for public review (if Krste hasn't updated his initial naming thoughts), this naming should suffice.

    Why do these have 64 at the end?

The "64" at the end means RV64.

    Here are more details on profile naming convention
    https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/blob/master/profiles.adoc

    However, the current draft profile spec doesn't event mention about
    these terms (RVA22x64).

    Should we defer this patch until we have something in the profile spec
    ?

    I am afraid that we have to make changes again if the naming convention
    is changed in the profile spec later.

Yes, I added it to have something aligned with current naming followed
by draft profile spec. I am sure we will have to keep changing it until
profile spec is in decent shape.
